Im sure this has been done before but I'm new here so lets just pretend shall we? Im interested in what race you would want to be and why? Also I'd like to know what race do other people think you would be and why? Personally I've always picked Orc or Khajit but I've always felt those were very typical answers; reason for me asking you.
My favorite race is Arogonian, but I'm not sure I would survive as one :P Plus female Argonians are ugly... :S (No offense to any female female Argonian players, I just think they look ohrrible.)
I would probably either be a Bosmer, becauser I like meat, or a Khajiit, because they don't look too bad.
Favorite race is Argonian like Tae-Rai, but I too wouldn't want to actually be one. Not because their women are ugly (which is subjective and I don't agree), but because I just don't think I could live in their culture. From most accounts Argonian life in Black Marsh seems tough and dangerous, and I'm pretty squishy and weak lol.
I'd say I'd want to be an Altmer for the super long lifespan and because their culture seems to value people who are thinkers over doers which would suit me just fine.
It's funny that you also asked what other people would think you were because one of my friends actually has already done this. According to him I'm a Breton which makes sense. I'm hot blooded at times and very opinionated which are human characteristics in the Elder Scrolls universe, but I'm also more inclined to think about something before acting and prefer to use brain over brawn to solve problems. It also helps that I kinda look more like a Breton irl lol.
I completely agree that they're typical haha but I've honestly always enjoyed the Khajit culture dont just like them because of they look like kittens :3 Likewise for the Orcimer, I can relate to they're pride and the fact that they're seen as outcasts. I like the fact that they stand out among the mer, they're strong smart and amazing warriors, not to mention they're tall like me. My choice that Isnt typical is the Bosmer. Other than that people see me as a Nord. Tall, strong, proud, arrogant, confident and all that crap.
People relate me to a Nord because I'm tall and wide. I want to be a race that uses brain like the Breatons so I agree with you there, however I also want to pick a race that values physical strength so basically I want a mixture of both and honestly most of the races in TES are.
I see myself as a Breton. I have affinity for Alchemy and science (magic, for example) the skills they have boosts in, I prefer diplomacy to fighting much like them as well. For looks I'm not like them, I guess. I'm tall and slim with pale skin color. My hair are dark, so I think that makes me a quite atypical Nord (*shudders*).
