I always start as a hight elf for my first character. I'll probably go for a kajiit assassin for my second playthrough.

Nord, only because it will suit the game and i have always liked thier traits but hated the way they looked in the previous games.

But then i will most certainly go and be a wood elf. Bosmer for the win!!

Breton. I figure they are the best of both races they ain't called Manmeri for no reason right? Either a Breton or Dunmer possibly a Nord.

I'll definitely be playing as a Nord for my first playthrough, both because it fits with the theme of the game and because they've always been my favorite race. I'll also just be playing as intended as far as classes go, by that I mean I'll just play how I would naturally without planning my build and see what happens. After that, it's off to the archetypes

Dunmer. I've found in my Elder Scrolls gaming that they are good for me to start out as, since they tend to be fairly decent in most play styles, albeit some adjustment for mage. Thus, it will be ideal for my experimentation on play style in Skyrim...
Ah, who am I kidding. I'm just a Dunmer at heart >:D
Might play a Khajiit as a second character tho.

To learn the game and explore the world of Skyrim I will make my first character a Nord viking type warrior who favors two handed axes and hammers, once I am familiar enough with the new mechanics and have a feel for the game I will make my first real character an Argonian, they look too epic to not make one. Always been a fan of the lizards and see no reason to stop now. We ruled the world in the past, and we shall rule the world again in the future...
I'm really a Khajiit in disguise, want to see me lick my butt?

I'll be going with a Khajiit, simply because the first characters I played in Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion were all female Khajiit thieves. I like the kitties. :)

Orc - female - because they're hot in this one, something they've been lacking before, and I want to place a sexy assed killer crazy warrior/ninja with green skin and sharp teeth. I hope there is someway to work 2 handed blunt weapons into stealth with an orc. We'll see.

I will play as a Breton first.
Same custom class as my Oblivion character.
I call it a "Shadow-mage"
Made to use stealth to sneak up on opponente and magic to kill them.
Made him good with a blade too so, that running low on magic wouldn't be the death of him.
Turned out I didn't use magic as originally intended.
Wound up using it to heal alot and to help with stealth and lock picking.
Just might make it a modified version of that, setup to use to use the skills I wound up using the most.
I also made a save of that character that turned assassin and joined the "Dark Brotherhood".
Seems the originally planned skill set helps alot more there.

Of course not they're boring!

Also, I must say you have a terribly depressing signature.

Not sure, but I will probably have my main be a wood elf, and also play a nord, a dunmer, and an argonian, at least for starters.

After I've made my Argonian I'll try a different race for a change. Probably a Breton mage or a Bosmer archer.

I always like playing argonians and khajiits on "evil" playthroughs but I'll be a nord on my "good" run through.

High Elf, because when I play that's what I'll be (minus the 'Elf').
