I always loved all things Khajiiti related, but I want to hear your opinions. What's yours?
I HATE Men-kind and Elvish-kind, especially Bosmer and Dunmer....they hurt Khajiiti! :shock:
Sheggorath loves Skooma. So does Sheggorath. And Khajiiti. And Sheggorath. As do I. I won't say anymore. Enjoy what you got.

I like Argonians and Khajiit. Humans are boring.

Breton is my favourite race and always will be. Still I think every race is great.
So we have come to solve every squabble in the village personally?

Breton. Mainly because of the +50 Magicka bonus. Goes well with The Apprentice birthsign.

^ There's a better build.

Grab an Altmer and stick the Atronach sign in this character. A magicka beast at level 1.

Yeah, but Stuned Magicka can sometimes really be a pain in the backside.

The Dunmer were the race that first drew me in when I started playing Oblivion at the beginning of my Elder Scrolls journey. They're well balanced and can fill many rolls, without being Jack-of-all-Trades and master of none! Plus, the Resistance to Fire is especially handy, as Fire is the generally most common element.

Altmer because of their magicka bonuses. Bretons just seem too snobby to me.

Altmer act high and mighty, while Bretons have that voice that makes them seem snobby.
*also, Altmer culture and their self-worth*

For anyone wondering why I hate elves, here's why:
1) Wood Elves beat the Khajiits in the 5 Year War :Angry: ;
2) Dark Elves enslave the Khajiit and Argonians :cry: ;
3) High Elves are snotty :wink:
Not sure why, but I can tolerate Orcs more than other Elves. :?
Sheggorath loves Skooma. So does Sheggorath. And Khajiiti. And Sheggorath. As do I. I won't say anymore. Enjoy what you got.

Been a Dunmer since i started playing elder scrolls, love them the most both from a gameplay and lore perspective. Tough i like to switch it up and have played all races to a certain extent.

Humanity still holds some interest for me. The things they can do...
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.
