LEAST favorite race? :)

Post by DunmerGirl »

I saw a thread about favorite races, but what's the LEAST favorite oblivion race?
mine personally is the imperials.
first off, they are generic.
second, they're racist.
They all pretty much hate me the second i approch them and that Countess of Leyawiin..ugh i wanna punch her in the face :P
and then of course after i became grandchampion in the arena and i had done no wrong and everyone loved me i crossed an imperial gaurd on a horse out and about on a trail, and he called me a murdering [&@%!] and said i had blood on my hands (and at this point i did not outside of the arena ...as of now im in the brotherhood) and shouted at me to keep my weapon hidden of he would "end me"
not a fan of the imperials.
and Orcs are probably a close second to that...especially that skooma gang of em in Cheydinhal.
okay rant over, your turn :P

At first I would say Bretons. I recall they are more racist, but I may be thinking of miss Petit being racist. I can accept the genericness of Imperials because it's okay to have a generic human race, but then Bretons are so generic too.

But in all honesty - Bosmer. UUUUUGH. They creep me out.

Well as you can see mine is in my username, lol
my reason:they are jerks, slavers, cocky, and overall whatever someone chooses to be with them /thief/mage/warrior/
one of the other races bests them at it.

I love all races, but if I where to say least favorite, I would say bosmer. Theyre basically just little versions of high elves.

Defenately Orcs. I love playing a Orc and just going hand to hand combat completely owning everyone around but all the other Orcs are such twats. Either they literally tell you to f off or they are just utterly useless.

I have to say Orcs as well.

They combine the arrogance of an Altmer, the rudeness of a Nord, and an ugliness all their own...

ALL the bosmers in the game have something weird about them.
It's also the most represented race of Shivering Isles citizens. I think that is sending a message, there.

I don't know, I like every race.

But if it is in terms of "playing with X race" then I'll say Argonian. I played with an Argonian (male and female) 2 times but there's something odd about them. Same with the Khajiit. They're nice NPC's but playing with them is another story...

I would say Dunmer, but I like to play as one. The only race I've never played as is a Nord. They don't appeal to me at all and it kind of bugs me that the next ES is set in Skyrim, which means there will be lots of Nords next game.

And what is with you people, I love Bosmer! They are so funny and short and crazy and short and.. :D
