What race do you refuse to play?

Post » Sun Jun 10, 2012 6:55 am

I refuse to be a cat, a lizard, a cannibal, and a character whose ego is the only thing that is bigger than his height

LOL, touche sir :thumbsup: .

Breton.
Cause they look like Imperials, just more boring.

I think Bretons have a pretty distinctive look from Imperials. Imperials are still more angular or whatnot. Bretons have more oval-ish features. You can even accentuate the oval-ness and give them a wild look, where they look a lot like Marilyn Manson. You can't do that with Imperial.

is anyone here a Breton? I don't want a character who's shorter than others tbh... are the Bretons shorter than the Nords in this game?

My character is a breton. Only human race I'll play. The magic resistance is a huge selling point.

I mostly play Dunmer and Nords. I REFUSE to play as a Dwemer or any race that is not Lore friendly. Mods let me choose in case you were wondering.

I think I have at least started a character for every race but the one I played the least was the Argonians. I just really dislike the Hist and how they can control the Argonians. I like the idea of the symbiotic relationship but I just cannot trust the Hist. I feel like they are just against every other race that descended from the Ehlnofey. Which pretty much is every race other than the Argonians.

Orcs - I'm a old time player. In the old Elder Scrolls, Orcs were common enemies.
Imperials - I hate the Empire.
Khajiit - Never a fan of them.

Anything other than the beast races are boring, boring boring. I can be human all day long, why would I want to be one in a game? As for elves, they're humans with pointy ears, so yeah, dull. Khajiit and Argonian exclusively for me.
Yah...no they are not. They look different and have different skin and eye color. Not to mention each race has its own culture and history. That is not boring if you ask me. Saying they are boring is not understanding them. If you are picking solely on looks then that is just sad and is worsening your gameplay experience imo. Then again, some people are easily pleased by looks. Oooohhh I can be a cat guy? Hell yeah!!!!...Lion-O away!!!

Eh... Not all altmer are Thalmor. Just go to the mage college, for example, to see it all play out. And probably the only factions in the entire game that explictly knows the threat of the Thalmor are 1) The Blades and 2) The Psijics (who are mostly Altmer)

You know the Dwemer would be able to conquer Elsweyr in a matter of week if they were still around. They had the laser pointer perfected long before their disappearance. The irresistible red dot would bring about the downfall of all Khajiit strongholds.

mad some?

Some people get sick of the always used elf's in fantasy games and Catmans and Lizardmen aren't in alot of them, unlike elfs. ( although i will say, they have great lore on each mer race in TES )

Why can I not say something without it meaning I am mad lol. Nah Im not mad dude lmao.

Besides, these are hardly standard elves. Elves are usually pretty...I don't believe I need to elaborate on that...

I just find it odd that someone would call something boring when all they are looking at is the outward appearance. Definitely a problem in today's society.

I know,but I still dont like them. Their skin is too yellow and the male Altmer have really pointy chins and funky eyes. Obviously thats the art design for Skyrim,but I still wont play as one,the Thalmor are scum and anything related to or even reminds me of the Thalmor must die. The female Altmer can be made pretty sixy though.

Well, out of 4 characters I've only had one character that I've kept for more than 20 hours and am still using. The first three had been Nord, Orc, and Altmer. I'm currently perfectly content with my generic Imperial.

Altmer, because I despise the thalmor and how stuck-up the Altmer are.
And khajiit, just because I'm not a fan of their appearance and Elsweyr in general. Plus all of the khajiit merchants in Skyrim are skooma dealers, despite what they might say.

I don't play Imperials ever and I don't really like Nords either Bretons definitely win with the boring human races for me. Not counting ballin ass redguards which clearly arent boring humans


i got khajiit argonian high elf and redguard right now. If you saw my khajiit and argonian, you wouldn't think beast races are ugly. im pretty superior at making guys.

I HAVE to see this lmfao!

I actually like the Bretons the most, out of the humans. If I am going to be human, it'll be a Breton. I will always prefer Argonians over Bretons though.
