    I may not get to some of the more in-depth subraces with this, far too much for people to browse through. Who knows, if people like it enough, I might end up looking into some of the obscure and specific races!

    And besides, I think the tail looks kind of cool, like a metal barbed whip if you have the right scales!

    I did consider that indeed but as far as I can see, this forum has a large amount of console players, therefore it wouldn't be fair to make a whole lot of races they can't use. However, nothing stopping people from doing this, although it would make your character a tad overpowered, unless you raised the level to account for the perks.

    Thank you! I made it right at the end when I realized I had forgotten one! I'm considering re-doing it at some stage, it's a little uneven. For now though, it'll do, I was sick of sitting on this build and decided to let it run free

    Oh, I most certainly intend on recreating some of the less explored races in TES, ESPECIALLY those of Akavir, my plan is to do another 4 or so D&D based races and then move to doing a few TES races, so keep an eye on this thread over the next 2 weeks!

    Love the Minotaur!  Been looking for an excuse to pull out a two handed weapon potentially in a new playthrough (still working on my first) and I think you have given me the inspiration I need.

    Good question. I personally don't think so, the forsworn head dress extends the head forward to make it look far more animalistic than the helm could. With that said, on the female minotaurs, it could be a consideration, as the headdress changes into an unsuitable feather hat type thing.

    From the playing I've been doing, he's ridiculously fun, although he requires a lot of block grinding. As a heads up, look up an online tutorial on how to two handed shield bash, it's a little unusual.

    Hmm.  While that would give them bull horns, it leaves the human face visible.  I like that Forsworn helmet because it hides the face.  Furthermore, it extends the facial structure to make it appear as if you have a "snout" in the silhouette.

    Edit: Or what XianiX said while I was typing! ;)

    Overall, I wouldn't recommend playing a female minotaur, the body can't achieve the necessary width and the headgear isn't quite as suitable, although I encourage people to prove me wrong!
