Which Race Will You Choose?

Post by Morrovion »

Very Simple. What race, and why in less than 2 sentences, no big paragraphs here.

I will be a Nord, as it will make the story all the more immersive. Much more fun to explore in mountains as a rugged brute who seems like he belongs in a snowy climate.

Perhaps based on what we've seen? This isn't based on solely looks, either.

ive always been a fan of argonians especially their lore but as of lately i enjoy Bosmer much much more(in terms of playing them, but if it was based off lore i would have voted argonian)

If they retain their awesome traits, I'll be returning to Skyrim as a breton. 'Cause if I'm gonna stare up the back of something for 100 hours or more, it might as well be a woman :lol:
If not, I might just fall back on the old universally-hated orc and go back to being a brooding bad-ass.

You should probably fix your poll. I can select all of the options at once :P

I will probably start out as a Dunmer. Always have.

I'll be playing an Imperial as I've been inspired by a character in a book I'm reading- he's a smooth-talking, sword-fighting, rogue-ish type; with a bit of magic thrown in for power plays =0

First, an argonian, for my stealth character. Then, an orc for my melee "axe-bone-meets-your-face-bone" character. The reasons: They are my favourite races and I have not the room to explain exactly why.

Dunmer, duh :shock:. Also, I love how we can pick all ten options, I didn't, but I am planning on having at least a character for each race, more for Dunmer, Altmer and any other race that turns out acceptably epic in Skyrim.

On another thread all ten races have been released, it is beautiful. I will be a Nord warrior, dark elf thief, and a breton mage. Then start having fun messing around with different races and doing humorous things.

I'm still leaning towards either a Nord or an Altmer.

With the new face shots released, I've narrowed it down to Breton or Nord(or Khajiit, if I can change the face enough).
Edit: I think I'm going to be a Nord.

Well, seeing as I'm a chronic restarter, I'll probably make one of each until I find that perfect niche. But perhaps I'll begin with a Dark elf, seeing as the previous rendition of them were a bit disappointing. It will be nice to revisit the most detailed race from Morrowind once again. Ahhh nostalgia.

A bosmer.
It's tradition that I make a -very- nostalgic wood elf stealth character. I started with it in Arena with Caedria, then did it in Morrowind with Rilaneth, then in Oblivion with Ekin. Next'll be Cidweth.

I'm straying towards a loud, boisterous Nord who likes his drink and his women. A few rub ins with the law will be likely. However the new magic looks very tempting, so a grizzled old elf or imperial wizard with a staff and enchanted sword might be my first character.
