    This is a question that most of you roleplayers should find interesing, what is your favorite race to roleplay as and why? I will start mine is the orc because I find their lore the most interesing of any race and it opens up so many interesting paths to take and rules to follow that you really don't find in most others. Discuss.

    Redguard. My Khulari was probably my most unique roleplay (for me at least) since I bought the game. I like the whole culture and desert setting feel.

    Redguards are interesting I especially like their close reltions with bretons and the fact there arent many in Skyrim.

    Sorry just never really thought they were that interesting in RP I knew I would get hate for saying that but its my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

    Sorry but they are perhaps the least interesting race to me no offence.

    For me it is a tie between the Nords and Dark Elves. Nords, because all of my paladins are Nords. And Dark Elves, because I always find it interesting to play as a race or group of people who are oppressed because it brings up the idea of 'how would you react if you were in this situation?' That is why when I play Dragon Age Origins I almost always have played as a Elf, and in Dragon Age 2 I always played as a Mage.

    Besides their semi-Russian voices and their stereotypes, their is really nothing of interest to roleplaying for me. (Besides my Khajiit M'Jagger, he is the exception cause he is awesome)

    Ka Po' Tun, how can you not have interest in them. Also having a giant cat running around with sword and magic is huge role play

    I am a dog person and I'm allergic to cats, kind of a big turn down. Also the "Ka Po'Tun" spans "Taesci" mean nothing to me since I almost never do the main quest (I am annoyed whenever a dragon attacks, I don't use shouts, and the main quest is boring) so the whole hunting dragons thing is pointless for me.

    Don't compare the Kittens to Russians. Ever.

    Difference. I (somewhat) like regular cats. TES Kittens are horrid abominations.

    Good because cats are adorable and tigers (Ka Po' Tuns more than Khajiits) are badass.

    You say cats are adorable and tigers are badass, I think they are both overgrown cats, and I hate cats, and why I don't like the Ka Po'Tun.

    Cats aren't overgrown cats, that'd just be weird Tigers could be considered overgrown cats, except they're fucking majestic

    'Cats aren't overgrown cats, that'd just be weird' read above comment I said "TIGERS" are overgrown cats.
