He's a daedra... not playable in vanilla MW, in fact, almost no reference to him either

Does anyone ever tried the Golden Saint Playable Race Mod? Those are also awesome... they ain't uber as one might expect, but they are so cool to play with...

Being Nerevarine as a GS is very very.... strange, but stripping naked for Crassius as one is plain FUN :D

(works so well with BB 2.2 naked version and playing as a female GS :P)

Altmer.
With the right birthsign, they can get insane amounts of magicka.

While I do like the Dunmer of Morrowind the most, I prefer to play as an Altmer.

Bos = Wood, Mer = Elf.

Anyways, I play Bretons because they fit my personality. Finding everything interesting, being good looking,
giving a damn about people but not about the situation, being torn between two ideologies,
using my brain more often than not, but able to out muscle anything in a pinch...
And to boot, they really have no (native to Hammerfell) centralized idea of government! Perfect Libertarians!

I rarely play any of the beastial races in Morrowind, for obvious reasons (they look like [edited]).
I usually play Nord or Orc. In Oblivion however it doesn't really matter. Bretons look a bit lame, but in Oblivion they're awesome.

I have only played the Imperial with custom class alchemist/fighter. I like to bash things and fighters are good at it. The Nord is next to play.

Imperials aren't particularly good at bashing things are they? Nords, Orcs, Redguards and probably even Dunmer are better melee fighters.

Reached level 28 on a Dark Elf now btw, he's awesome. 100 in Long Blade and Marksman makes him LETHAL!

so far so good, as i said im only level two at the moment and its the first time ive played in years so im getting back into the swing. Custom Class "Scrib Bane"-hunter and destroyer of the scribs of morrowind. Leaning more towards combat, with a little magic thrown in, and currently joined the fighters guild. havent had enough time to test out the abilities, but choosing the lady as a birthsign, my endurance skyrocketed, and if this is like oblivion, than my health should rise quickly. but at the moment no complaints

I've recently become obsessed with Bosmer. Seems I'm on everyones good side for once, which is always nice.

I'm also thoroughly convinced the Assassin premade class was made with people like me in mind since it has all the skills I use often.
