Which would you choose?


Khajit or Altmer for Mage Character. Or both?
I have a Ice Artificer Dunmer (spellsword, chaotic Good, Main lvl 41, ice in skyrim, dont do lol)
Necro-Assasin Khajit (pure evil with white fut, i know, but he looks pimp lvl 17)
Nord Imperial Soilder (lawful good, lvl 3-6)

Altmer makes sense so i could roleplay a Thalmor agent, however, Khajits are just so awesome, and being a good aligned Khajit seems sweet.

Khajiit...because thalmor all deserve to be burned to death for d0uchebaggery

Yeah dude mage khajiit sounds sweet I'd go with that

cool thx for opinions, anyone else?

Khajiit.

Cats are the best. always.

Khajit would be nice, plus with the cool new Hand to hand kill cams, you can use the Khajit's claws as a backup weapon.

i could do a monk mage hybrid... i wanted to do a monk, and a mage, this would make sense

nah do altmer, if only because you havent done one already. plus they are better at magic

and your khajit assassin sounds sweet. i have never tried khajit but they seem cool

Altmer Mage, pure unadvlterated evil.
Magic bonus, and you have to be naughty to complete half of the quests.

The Necro Sassin is a balling playstyle, bounds swords, sneak up, kill a dude, raise him from the dead, kill more dudes

so many races so little time

With enchant (which would be a natural skill for a Khajiit mage) you can get your unarmed damage up around 50 with a Khajiit and some enchanted fortify unarmed gear. You can get it to 68 if you do that and take the Fists of Steel perk and wear daedric gauntlets, but I don't think heavy armor fits all that well with mage or monk. But still, 50 points for unarmed attacks is not bad.

The Altmer's racial bonuses (plus 50 magicks and Highborn) power are not all that significant in the grand scheme of things (as compared to Altmer magicka race bonuses in prior games), so this would be a good game to try out a Khajiit mage, plus there is already one at the college, so I say go for it!

Go with Atlmer.

Khajiit has been done before. Try something new!
