What race do you refuse to play?

Post » Sun Jun 10, 2012 5:35 am

I refuse to play Nord because they were obviously modeled after white supremists.

I tried to play an elf but just can't bring myself to do it.

Khajiits just look so awesome and have such a great attitude. I refused to play them in Oblivion, but in Skyrim it's all I'll play.

I really like Argonians but the lizard thing is too alien to relate to as my character.

I have restarted the game several times since November. It seems I can't get past level twenty-five, without restarting. And, I always chose a female Nord. (From what I have been reading here getting to the end of the MQ is pointless. There is no real ending, no fanfare, no real sense of accomplishment and no reward. Why get disappointed? What does that accomplish? Moreover, I am no explorer either.) The only reason that I continue playing the game is because between Dragon Age Origins and Skyrim it is sort of helping me write an advlt fantasy fiction novel, much like "The Song of Fire and Ice" series.

Thanks to The Witcher games I don't play with elves!
Orc I did not like the look of them in Oblivion.(After that comment I might play one in Oblivion) I might play one in Skyrim.
I don't play with lizards and pussies cats.

Incorrect sir. They were modeled after vikings and they are xenophobic and nationalistic (in other words they only want Nords in Skyrim, which I think is perfectly fine) but they don't set out on crusades to wipe out other races (that would be the Thalmor) and don't treat everybody else like they are worthless animals (that would be the Dunmer).

Argonians and Khajiit

I kind of like them as NPCs, even though they creep me out. I just can't look at the tails. I could never play one.

Honestly, I can't stand the Idea of Argonians or Dark Elves for this game. Neither have any real combat abilities.
Wha. Dunmer make excellent spellswords.

Dislike imperial, nord, redguard, breton; basically, the humans. They're really boring for me.

I play mostly as elves, and have had one argonian character. Can't play as a khajiit, because of the tail animation combined with the shape of the tail.

I don't like the beast races. Oh yeah, and Redguard. I completely forgot they existed for a moment.

I like just about all the races, but I've never felt so pigeonholed with a game as this. No matter how much freedom I have, I'm compelled to play a Nord. How I long to play an emasciated Altmer with a 2h glass sword. But what kind of dragonborn would he be? It makes little sense :\

Khajiit and Argonians. Actually in Skyrim I avoid all the Mer races as well. Nord's are too damn ugly and anvil-chinned and Bretons are down right fugly. So it's pretty much Redguards, Orcs and Imperials for me.

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

Orc would be my last choice. Next least favorite would be Nord. I somehow dislike Nords since Morrowind.

Altmer, Dunmer, Bosmer...I've never liked elves. They're just humans with pointy ears in my opinion.

There's only one elf race I like, and that's the Vulcans in Star Trek. Spock was cool.

None. I prefer nord and imperial, but I have played with all the races in the past so no need for that to change in Skyrim.

i refuse to play argonians and i refuse to play redguards, i just have no interest in those two races. and no it's not a racist thing, i just don't like them at all. i usually just play nords, altmer, dunmer, khajiits, wood elves, and imperials. when it comes to argonians, orcs, redguards and bretons, it's just not my style.

altmer, because of the THALMOR!
and khajiit because even though i dont roleplay very much i do enough to not play as a race not allowed in cities, and be the only one, even before finding out that they are dragonborn
