Dark Elf, can't beat a good blend of destruction, blade, and marksman 8)

-Testrum

P.S. Plus I've been with the Dark Elf race since I played Morrowind when I was 12 or so.

Is it just me, or does it seam like theres very few Dunmer in Oblivion? Maybe im just use to Morrowind, which is the homeland for em.

Breton by far, my third character in Oblivion, and the easiest.

Bosmer all the way.

I'm a marksman at heart, so they are perfect for me [except that they are too short. also, they are called "treehuggers" and I'm an anti-hippie]

Argonian.

You don't have to worry about poison, disease, and air when you're swiming. They also have some nice bonuses for thieves.

I'm best with the *cough* Chimer. That's right, Chimer. Screw the name Dunmer, I can make their skin shiny and gold again!!! :Twisted Evil:

Really though, I just have a fixation with creating overly balanced characters, and the Dunmer race works best for it.
The shadow of the past never dies, so walk forward knowing you can become better than what you've left behind.

I prefer Bretons. My first character was a Breton, and I think my next may be one too.

My favorite would have to be Khajiit. Just love being a cat-theif. :D

I enjoy the balance of the Dunmer. Their mage, warrior, and thief qualities seem to balance out nicely. Bosmer are pretty fun, but they're too short.

I have something with orcs. Than Argonians, but Orcs first. I really hope there will be a chapter in the Orcs' homeland, if they have any....

It'd probably be named Daggerfall or something. :lol: Well, it doesn't take place entirely there, but part of the game is in Orsinium, the Orcish homeland.

Paintshop Pro 7 8) As if it's not an easy guess, it says "<insert english translation of signature here>"

I can make one for you, should you wish.

I knew what it says, surely I've mentioned that I can read and write Daedric. 8)
But don't tell people what it says, it's much more fun to let them wonder :lol:
Though I prefer it when it's written the other way, so much easier to read
I wonder if anyone has actually bothered to read my sig :|

Any

For me, it doesn't matter what the Race, Class, Major Skills, or Bonuses, ect, are.

It is all about how I play them.

I usually play Bretons or Khajiits (or a modded combo of both).

Once I tried Dunmer and Altmer... they didn't like me though.
