What's Your Race? : V - Skyrim

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:22 pm

I'm playing a Dunmer right now. I usually pick an elf race for my character since they are my favorite. On the rare occasion that I play a human it is a Breton so even there my elf love shows.

I do try to play to the strengths of each race. So I my Altmer is a pure mage, my Bosmer a stealthy archer and my Dunmer is a duel-wielding spellsword.

I pick an over all theme and go from their. I just made my Barbarian so it was either Orc or Nord (went Nord). When I did my Paladin it was either Redguard or Imperial. Though when ever I play an assassin, and I always do at least once in all the TES games, he is always a Dark Elf assassin...just love the idea of it ever since the Morag Tong in Morrowind.

1 Altmer- Mage
1 Argonian- Adventurer/Warrior (soon will be 2, most likely)
2 Bretons- Mage Assassin and Forsworn Warrior (the latter is just a test character, though)
1 Bosmer- Thief
2 Dunmer- Spellsword and a... Warrior (well, I can't just call her "madwoman with an axe", can I?)
0 Imperials
1 Khajiit- Thief
2 Nords- Jack-of-all-trades-I-like-to-call-a-Rogue and a Warrior (the first was a starter/test character)
0 Orsimer
0 Redguards (I really want to play a Redguard, but I always got carried away by a new character idea)

Keep in mind that most of my characters aren't playable anymore.

So I have two Dunmer, a Bosmer, and a Nord right now. (and my Breton test character)

I'm still playing my first build, and my first build for TES games is always a strong fighter. This time I chose a Redguard for the Stamina racial perk and made him huge like Arny in his hayday.

started off with a dunmer warrior just because I liked the look of the dunmer. Currently really really enjoying my bosmer archer and recently started a breton mage which I'm excited about as I'm really enjoying magic thus far.

They say that Khajiit are thieves, assassins, skooma dealers, and skooma users.

My assassin thief Khajiit supports that stereotype one-hundred percent and even feels glorified by it.

Breton all the way.

I'm a Breton archer, but I RP as a Reachman. Breton's are my favorite race.

Yeah, I'm playing my Khajiit as an assassin also. There's something very satisfying about being able to kill enemies before they even know you were there.

Khajiit smell sweet, sweet moon sugar. Khajiit need it for a fondue.

Almost always Breton.

I tend to go Brenton. I don't use Racial Powers all that often, but the constant magic defense is very nice to have. Plus they look nice.

I just started a new character with the 1.5 patch and I decided to play as a Khajitt. When it comes to picking a race, how does everyone else decide on what race they will play? Do you like to experiment with a race you would normally never play as, or do you keep it pretty mainstream and have a tried-and-true race? And, once you've picked your race do you stay faithful to that race's specific abilities (stealth, magic, combat, etc.), or do you break the mold and customize? So far I've made a Dark Elf, Orc and now Khajitt.

I put my first character on hold (a Nord "battlemage") after conquering Skyrim for the stormcloaks at level 23.

Started a Khajiit thief about a week ago - currently at level 21 - named Ra'Jorr - and just bought himself a nice house in Riften by the lake... after stomping on the bugs.

I like playing as a human type character so Imperial would've been my pick but I don't like how square jawed they are. Nord is my pick and it's the only race that I play as, it's the only race that I can get a good looking female character from. Bretons are too rounded and Imperials are too square jawed, unlike in Oblivion where I could've made an excellent Breton or Imperial and they would neither be square jawed or Rounded.

Nord through and through!!! Hobby is killing Thalmor! Drinking Mead and Petting Dragons :S

1. Nord --spell sword
2. Orc --warrior
3. Breton --mage
4. Bosmer --ranger
5. kajiit --rogue

haven't really played the other races

Argonians have been my favorite race since Daggerfall. My favorite playstyle with them isn't stealthy and agile though. It's the exact opposite. I use two-handed swords and heavy armor.

My character choices:
1. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/ActionDragon/Skyrim/Fish-Breath/Fish-Breath131.jpg (comical good character)
2. Khajiit thief & assassin (evil serious character)
3. Breton mage (wise Gandalf like character)

Imperial. I've loved Rome forever and so it's an easy choice.

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 6:05 pm

Redguard, all the time

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 10:40 pm

Nord, High elf and Khajit.

I'm a hairy human with a stick on her butt.

Nord female warrior

I like to play Argonian, this time I made a battlemage and I am very happy with the looks and the racial.
