What race is everyone going to choose? : Othor Games

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:37 am

i have this problem. I always like to play a caster class, weather it's a mage/warlock in WoW, Jedi Sage in SWTOR, or a high elf in Skyrim/Oblivion. Sometimes i get bored of playing the same way every time, but that's what alts are for. I'll most definetly be playing a high elf mage. Hopefullly they have some interesting talent trees representing the different schools of magica. Perhaps an illusion mage that fills the rouge archtype? ....aww who am i kidding i'm just gonna go destruction and fling fireballs around.

I sincerely doubt Nords will be able to be mages.

Nords, Redguards and Orcs I see as fighters, while Bretons, Dunmer and Altmer will be mages, and Bosmer, Khajiit and Argonians will be the rogues. Just a hunch I've got... there might be variations within those archetypes (Bosmer = rangers, while Khajiit = thieves and Orcs = beserkers and Redguards = paladins, for example), but I guarantee that specific races will be locked into specific classes.

I agree with this. I don't see nords as mages either, but it's worth a try.

I always play an Archer/Ranger so I will most likely go with Bosmer first. I also really want to roam within Valenwood and Elsweyr. The Altmer will simply be the cross that I and my kitty friends have to bear. I will also easily be able to score moon sugar. Hope it has some nice effects within game or plays some role. As alts I will go with a Breton Scout/Ranger and a Dunmer Scout/Ranger. All will use a Two-hander Sword for melee.

I would like to see Skyrim 1,000 years before the dragons attacked.

A Breton assassin. Always wanted to see what High Rock would be like in-game. With modern graphics 'n' all.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:04 am

I'll probably start with a Breton mage followed by a roguish Orc marksman.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 9:07 am

Dunmer, guaranteed. While I'd like access to restoration magic, light armor and sword-and-board combat all at once, I'll settle for the latter two if it comes down to it. Likely also to play a Redguard and an Orc and not sure what I'll play out of the Dominion.

A note to people who want to play races but wont because who they are allied with : If you plan to RP you can always just RP that yes you are part of x-faction and allied with x-race but you dont have to be buddy buddy and like 'em. Nothing stopping you from RPing a proud son of skyrim who hates dunmer

just game mechanic wise your stuck allied with them.

Anyways back OT. I'm personally going Nord, been playing them since daggerfall, nothing beats big bad ass viking

Have you ever played an elder scrolls game?
of course there will be no race class restrictions.

Nord all the way!
Ebonheart pact FTW!

The best way to get more people complaining about lack of Cooperative servers is to break lore in the most obnoxious ways possible. If the game is so good that I must play it, this is what I will do. >

My first character probably will be a Khajiit, since I wanna see the provinces of the Dominion first, then a Dunmer since they're my favourite race and I really wanna see Black Marsh and Morrowind too, after that probably a Redguard or an Orsimer.

Argonian Warrior.

Whats with you guys thinking nords make no good Mages. Whats with Shalidor?

Nords had a proud history of magic (College of Winterhold, Shalidor, the Thu'um) up until the Oblivion Crisis, the Great Collapse and the Great War.

Spoiler

As, Tsun says in Sovngarde:
"Well met, mage of Skyrim. The Nords may have forgotten their forefathers' respect for the Clever Craft, but your comrades throng this hall. Here in Shor's house we honor it still."

I would like to know which race people would prefer to play as.
I am going to be a nord mage.

I plan on creating at least one character for each faction. I prefer straight-up melee combat so I'll go with a fighter-type. As to which race I will be, it will be whichever is the most human-looking. I don't care for the beast races, and not too keen on the -mer races. So the primary options I will choose from will be redguards, Nords, and Bretons.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 3:21 am

Breton, and for class, I want to be a Battlemage, but we'll see if this is an option (god I can't wait to hear more about which classes will be available)

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 11:48 am

Probably going to be a nord mage or warrior.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 9:11 am

Dunmer for my first Char.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:22 am

It depends on what my friends choose. We'll hopefully all be in the same faction.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:58 am

I will see you all in Tamriel.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 10:13 am

You got my main three races in one pact, Dark Elf, Nord, and Argonian. So Ebonhart Pact all the way as my mains.

I will roll alts to see how the other half lives if we can not cross borders into the other faction zones.

Remgaal I am. Remgaal is a fine Khajiit, a strong and swift Khajiit. You will admire Remgaal and maintain a respectful distance from Remgaal or Remgaal will bash you while you sleep and you will wake at the mercy of the dominion.

Argonian rogue.
