What race are you picking and why?( I want specifics!!! )

  • I think I'm gonna go with a human(or an Imperial, whatever the hell it's called). Why? I don't know exactly. I want my guy just to be a normal guy for my first playthrough, but I'm not so sure...yet.

    I've been wanting to play a shield/spell character. Shield in left hand, (destruction) spell in right hand. I also want my character to wear light armor. That being said, the Dunmer race is perfect for me. They have a +10 bonus to their destruction skill,...  more

    My first character will be a Nord, because they are epic vikings! I may create another character and go with Argonian simply because they look amazing!

    I am going to play as Bosmer on my first play-through because it is a race that I never really used in Oblivion because of how they looked, I could never take them seriously after my first run in with adoring fan. Also I planned to make my first character...  more

    Khajitt because I always wanted to play the beast races and now with their amazing look I can't help but to play them! Nord to be honest will most likely be the last race I play because I am not too keen on humans (to normal) but also I like to play as a minority.

    Nord.  Its set in Skyrim, but may play as a Breton. Never played as a cat or a lizard!

    I'm playing either nord, redguard, or dunmer. Dunmer would be best starter class for my play style but i don't really like their look.

    I'm going to play a Imperial pure mage. I like the way the imperials look in this game I usually always play as an Argonian, but this time around I would like to play something different.
