your race choice

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 6:49 am

Now that racial abilities, starting skills and spells are all in the open you can make informed decision. I just wonder how it changed your choice. Nord was leading in the previous poll as I remember

Changed from Imperial to Altmer, Nord, Breton or Argonian. I'm trying to decide which race perks I want more. Starting stats wise... I actually want less of the stats that i've listed in my signature. That way I have farther to level in the skills I use most.

I was always going to play as an Argonian. I still intend to do that. I don't believe any of the skill bonuses matter, as if the skill you want starts out at fifteen instead of twenty-five, you'll be able to get it up to twenty-five in hardly any time at all.

An Orc Assassin is probably what I'll do. Save Berserk for the one special target everyday. :)

Of course a dual wielding beserk style Redguard or Offensive Mage Altmer sound bad ass to me as well. Those may come later, but for my jack of all trades, it's looking more like Orc.

The one thing that may trump the Orc's Berserk ability is facial paints. I'm a svcker for Scottish battle warpaints. Being some % Scottish, the Nords look the closest to me. If Orc have some decent facial paint from what you can see from the presents, but I need to see it on my screen first.

Still a Khajiit Druid for me :|
Two-Handed Swords and Frost Destruction, even though neither of those or other planned Skills are the skills increased from being a Khajiit. :D

I'm still a Nord. I don't need some fancy-smancy leaked "Racial abilities" to tell me who to play as! :goodjob:
I'm Ehrm the Dovahkiin, and I'm a Light-Weight Nord!

I thought I knew, I was going to play a Wood Elf, but the leaked racial stats have made me reconsider. All along I've been bouncing between about 3 different races; Breton, Altmer, and Bosmer. I narrowed it down to Breton or Bosmer, and was dead set on Bosmer for awhile, but now I'm back to considering Breton again.

I just made a post on it awhile ago http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1251046-i-thought-the-racial-info-would-determine-what-i-wanna-play-but-it-just-made-it-worse/

So I need to decide what I wanna play.

I was Imperial but now after seeing the bonuses I'm 100% Nord. I prefer 4 bonus boosts of 5 over 3 boosts and Warcry is actually a lot better then I thought and superior to Voice Of The Emperor.

Normally I go with who's home land we are located in for my first character... and since Skyrim is home of the Nords, I will probably start with a Nord as my warrior character.

I go pretty much by appearance, so for my humans either nord or breton, for non-humans I think the khajiit look awesome.

I played a Redguard mystic tank in Oblivion (Heavy Armor, Blade, Block, Conjuration, Mysticism, Alteration, Destruction, born under The Atronach) and it was incredibly fun.

I don't pick based on innate skills. I'll still be playing a stealthy Khajiit magician. The +10 sneak does help with that though, as well as alchemy and perhaps some of the other bonuses!

I am really hoping the night eye is a toggle and not a simple spell like in Oblivion though. If not, well that's what mods are for.

Still officially a Dunmer (well half-Dunmer at least) spellsword. I try very hard to ignore the fact that Bretons always seem to get the best racial bonuses.

I'm going to be an Altmer for role-playing purposes and also because I can't wait to be verbally abused by everybody else.
