Race:
Mage: Breton.
Anythinglese: Imperial.

(I like the look of these the most, i havent tried the others that much apart from Wood Elf).

Favourite armor:
Mage Robes( with unarmoured mage armour Alteration spell), Scaled & Leather armour for light. Steel & Ebony for Heavy.

(Normally i like Glass, but it looks more like Heavy armour in this game).

Favorite weapon:
Melee - Steel , Silver , Ebony(swords look meh), Nordic & Glass.
Bow - Imperial, Hunting, Glass & Ebony.

(Dissapointed at the lack of uniqueness between the bow types. Elven, Dwarven, Glass, Ebony all look the same apart form colour & damage output).

I usually prefer Bretons and Dunmer.

Favorite weapons or appearal/armors depends on whatever I'm roleplaying.

I'm currently playing a Dunmer coldhearted Bard/Agent assasin. With cloaks and daggers, using whichever has the best stats.

1 Dark Elf: Mix of thief guild/ shroud and enchanted elf armor Glass bow. Have't gotten nightingale armour sofar, but getting there.

From Morrowind on i pick this first, for a thief/ fighter caracter with a bit of destruction magicks. Perfect to do every guild quest. Fun to be hero at day and Dark Brotherhood/ thief at night

2 Nord
Dwarven armour (lookes great in this game)
Warhamer (great ending animations s-spplaschhh;))
No thieving/ magicks/ wrongdoing for this nord, more a real roleplaying caracter than the dark-elf. More honest good hero-type, though choosing ulfric's side, might not see as good;)

For every game i play with a caracter who seems best for the main story line. Morrowind Dunmer (no other for the nevarine in my opinion) In Oblivion an Empirial, for being in there homeland. For skyrim is that a nord. Just as the nevarine is dunmer, the Dragonborn can only be a Nord in my opinion. That caracter is more for the main quest while nr 1 is more a travel everywhere and do everyting but the mainquest type.

Altmer. They are quite superior due to being the only race with stat raise at start, and worth five levels of magicka no less.

I also like the way they look. The girls are graceful (though some of the NPCs are quite inferior to, say, your typical Nord), and the guys are badass.

Breton with light armor, one-handed axe or sword, and generaly a spell in the off hand, but I use a shield a lot, too. Breton's seem very well rounded characters and you can go in any direction you want with them. Steath, Heavy, Light, Mage, Blunt, Blade, anything you want. They're great.

I generally stick with light armor with any of my characters. I use Argonians a lot as well because I like to breath under water and they are good with lock picks. I feel I should have started out Argonian with Skyrim, but felt it would have been harder for my character to get my in this land. As it turns out, Nords don't like beast races or elves, so the Breton was probalby the best choice for "fitting in".

Off subject, but speaking of Argonians being good at lock picking, do they seem to help at all in this game, because the new lock picking seems to be a bit more of a pain than in previous titles. It doesn't help that my controlers joystick drags a little so I'll break half a dozen picks without attempting to pick the lock anyway, but I was just curious.

Favorite race(s): Altmer and Dunmer
Both radically different but I love their looks and lore. Other races never really interested me as much as these two.

Favorite armor:
Heavy - spiky evil Daedric. It's so over the top evil it's funny. Best normal looking is Ebony though.
Light - elven. Just beautiful no matter what others say. *frolicks around*

Favorite weapon:
Glass mace and ebony sword

And no I could never pick one.

Favourite race: argonian
Why? because they are a mysterious and wise race with ancient ties to the Hist.

Favourite armor: Stormcloak Officer Armor / Saviour's Hide
Why? the look and feel of the Saviour's Hide is just great. While the Stormcloak Officer armor just gives a tidy appearence.

Favourite weapon: Wabbajack
Why? it's non-sensical madness within weapon form. Oh but if only it made cheese rain from the sky..

Races: Nord,Dunmer,Argonian ... i've played them in Morrowind,Oblivion and now in Skyrim

Armor: Ebony,Dragonplate on Nord Male, and Guild master's, Nightingale and Dark Brotherhood on Dunmer Argonian F/M

Weapons: Well, there are plenty i like but i used few of them: Nightingale Bow/Sword, Dawnbreaker, Blade of Woe, Wabbajack, Dragonbane, and Mace of Molag Bal

Few NPCs that (are in my opinion the best): Nazir,Delvin Mallory,Paarthunax,Odahviing,Karliah,Sheogorath, and plenty more of them ...

Favorite Race: Breton
Favorite Armor: Elven Armor (Light)
Favorite Weapon: Bound Bow

I should add, however, that Skyrim did a great job of improving the Wood Elf (Bosmer) character profile from the "glittery" personality they had in both Oblivion and Morrowind. I have one Wood Elf character that is level 21 and completed the main quest.

No, Elven Armor isn't the best in terms of armor class ... but it does look good.

Dunmer. Ashen skinned misanthropes that ride twenty foot tall fleas, what's not to love?

Dragonbone Armor.

Lightning based spells. If I'm forced into using weapons, I normally choose Keening and a Bound Sword.

2nd place: Altmer, for the same reasons as Pistolero.

Thalmor robes.

Flame spells.

Other 2nd place: Orcs. Love their lore.

Orcish armor.

Ebony Greatsword.

3rd place: Khajiit. Moonsugar.

Fancy clothes.

Claws.
