What race will you be in Skyrim, and why?

As usual, I will be a Dunmer - entirely surperior to all you lesser races. You're lucky I don't enslave you all. Or a Breton - but Dunmer first. Because, as we all know, Argonians are stupid, lesser races who will most likely go get high off hist sap and die.

NORDS!

Bosmer first, Nord second, Breton third. Then once I find out what kind of character (stealth, combat, or magic) I'd like to play as, go from there.

Imperial or Dunmer.

Breton.

Kryptonian.

Seeing the orc pic makes me think orc. I never played them before because they've looked dumb in every game until now. Now that that isn't an issue...orc smash.

Nah, I think I'll stay awhile.

So yeah, either Kryptonian or Ghoul.

Nord.

Imperials are Dull.
High Elves are stuck up.
Dunmer are sly and dark.
Bosmer are...eugh.
Argonians are meh, bit odd looking.
Khajiits are worthless.
Orcs...well I'll leave them alone.

We Nords will smash you all with Hammers and the like.

Breton

I'm sure I'll be trembling in my boots from the, what, twelve Dunmer still alive by then. You though the destruction of Vvardenfall was bad? Wait until Lord of Souls, which kicks off with the discovery of the deliciousness of Dunmer meat. The Dunmer are turned into little but livestock by the mighty beast folk, and the few wild ones are hunted to extinction due to Dunmer game value. The Dunmer fate takes a turn for the worse when a plague breaks out that only effect the Dark Elf Race, at first the Argonian and Khajiit farmers tried to save their livestock. But the Dunmer race was all but killed off when it discovered that the plague transmuted the body of the infected into pure gold, in the end the farmers became rich over night as they willingly infected their livestock to cash them in. Indeed, the Dunmer would of been entirely forgotten from the minds of the surviving races if it wasn't for the fact that Golden Dunmer Statues became the standard currency of The Empire.

Did I forget to mention that I play as an Argonian?

I do admit, if they make hand to hand lethal, I'd be interested in making an Orc, or if I could somehow just use basic clubs and stuff.

The Empire has yet to fall, though we are independent to it. We are strong enough to hold off Imperial expansion thanks to our new colony known as "Morrowind". Plus the Dunmer's main ally (The Empire) has been in a decline since they let the bandits take over.

So what is the price we have to pay to get you to back down, one hundred, two hundred Dunmer Statues? It isn't important how many you want, we have hundreds of thousands of the things!

Bah. We orcs play the "$#@% you up" card.

Seems to work.

No they won't. This is because:

1. Your gods are gone. The ones you betrayed hate you, and your false gods known as the Tribunal have been destroyed. Your peoples last hope rested with Dagoth Ur, and you let him die.
2. Your only ally is slowly dieing. All of your neighbors hate you, and you have no one to protect you.
3. Vvardenfall is gone, your peoples birth place has been razed, crippling your economy and killing an untold number of your people. On top of the earlier Oblivion Invasion which put you on pretty weak ground due to all of the people killed then, you are screwed.
4. Morrowind is gone. Your only remaining territory is Solstheim, you know the island ruled by Nords? Yeah when you are a minority in your only remaining land you are in pretty bad shape.

So I guess you can have Morrowind back, if you wish to work on the farms like you forced my ancestors, and their ancestors, and their ancestors, all the way back to the time when the first beast folk was put in chains. For some reason I think we will be keeping it. There can be no peace, only more statues (Seriously, we have far too many statues of you guys, what with you turned into pure gold, and your awesome looking ruby eyes. Your eyes turned into rubies with the plague by the way).

One word. Nerevar.

Good. Means you'll stay outta my damn face.
