Since my favorite race, the Imperials aren't playable, I think I will be a altmer, considering from what we've seen of them so far, they are actually pretty in this TES game.

No!!!! Traitor. The dagger fall covenant is the closest to imperial ideology. Don't go joining the elves. They deny it now but history shows they only seek power and subsegation of the other races.

Anyway I'm going to be a Breton because like yourself I'm an imperial and can't play as them.
