My main is a High Elf battle-mage type of character.

However, my favorite race has to be Argonian

I choose Altmer, because they're all full of knowledge and magic and stuff... and they make awesome Oblivion chars. but Kajiit come in a close second because of M'aiq the liar (See Icon and Sig) and Ahzirr Traajijazeri

I use a Nord. They're surprisingly good for a Battlemage character.

I use nords as well, I find that they can basically do whatever they want to. I've only had three characters that I've actually stuck with past level 20, and two of them were nords. Combining a nord with the atronach is particularly effective.
Yes, having a full set of enchanted madness armour, goldbrand and 500 mega damage scrolls is pretty cool. Fighting Mehrunes Dagon while wearing that is pretty awesome. Doing the same job with an ancient akaviri katana and beggar's clothes is plain badass.

Nord. Battlemages aren't usually what I profess in, seeing I'm more of an Archer, but suprisingly, a Marksman and Battlemage work well for me.

Nords for the win!

I mainly play as a Dunmer, dunno why.
I also play as a Drow in D&D, so I guess I just like dark elves.

Since day 1 of playing this game i always preferred Argonians. Though for no apparent reason to begin with, I found their natural Water Breathing is extremely useful, especially when you don't want to replace an amulet or ring with a water-breathing item that usually only takes up space.

Not to mention the fact that I Dont remember ever getting a disease minus Porphyric Hemophilia (I really hope I spelled that right haha.) Of course, after i made another magic-oriented class, I got really annoyed by all the stat drops.

Wood elf is currently my main because they are good at marksman. Although my first character was an argonian because they can breath water and look funny.

My main character, Tom, is a Breton. I enjoy being human classes for some reason, probably because I think we need good representatives of the human race in Cyrodiil. ;)

Good for you Camera :mrgreen:

I haven't played this for a while, but my next character is probably going to be a Imperial Sneaky character or an Orc or Khajiit mage.

I always use imperials. I can't see myself beating the game and wearing the prize armor at the end not being an imperial.

My main character is a Breton. I'm lvl 42 I think. Done most of the quests in original Oblivion as well SI and KoTN. So I recently grew tired of playing this character since it had lost it´s role playing aspects, and therefore I created a new one. Now I´m playing a wood elf Ninja :).

I've been a Breton since my first character that I ever made in Oblivion. Played him for so long and go so attached I never play as any other race.

Funny how I had never made a mage from one, only recently have I created a battlemage. Others have been normal warriors.

My main used to be an Argonian, but I accidentally level my Speechcraft too much so he turned out really terrible in battle. So I made a new character, a Khajiit, and I've loved every second of it.
