Bretons. Between the whole Gaelic connection and their magic resilience, I just love 'em.

Argonians. Between their water breathing abilities and their poison resistance...

No, that's not it.

Both times I have finished the main quests of Morrowind and Oblivion, it's been with female Argonians.

I'm sure psychologists would have something to say about that...

Guess.

Tsaesci?

No. Based on prevalence by race in Interregnum, clearly he favors Bretons and/or Altmer.

Or possibly Yokudans, but that seems like the ironic choice...

Khajiit's of course!(My avatar) They're a humanoid version of lions, I can't not love them! Well, seriously, they're adorable, great for archers/thiefs/assassins and well, they're cats! Not saying that I love house cats, I love wild cats. Big hunting wild cats. X)

But after that I guess it's gotta be the dunmer, they are so good with destruction magic, and when you're running around in Oblivion all the time the resist fire damage is soooo useful.

Guess!

Hint (Four hints, actually)

My Favorite race would have to be the People of the Root. I love their history, culture, and their racial adaptations. Nothing is better than immunity to all diseases, poisons, and the ability to breath underwater!

Second would have to be the Dunmer for similar reasons as the Argonians, like the fall of the Chimer for example.

Third would be the Khajiits. I find it enthralling that their very form is based on the stages of Tamriel's moons! Besides, who doesn't love the sugar-loving sand kitties?

And forth would be the Altmer, love the golden-skinned Mage-Gods.

Yeah !!! You're here !!! I just tried to message you, but it won't let me yet. I have added you to my contact list !!!

I gotta go with the Nords, and not just because I've got viking heritage.

I have always played Dunmer characters until recently. Right now, I am playing a Bosmer. I started a fan fic about him, but alas, I need more posts to be able to start that thread in here.

Redguard, definatly. I love the sound of the females voice

I can't stand that voice... the acting was atrocious.

I much prefer the male Redguard's voice. At least he put some feeling into his lines.

Dunmer, without a doubt. I love the lore behind them, the way they look and their bonuses in game.
Second would be Nords. Same reasons as above.

Altmer for me.

Lore, Culture, Architecture, Weaponry, Armor etc......All very interesting, people give them way too much hate.

Bosmer.
Absolutely and unequivocally.

I've got to say Bretons, Imperials, Nords, Argonians, And Khajiit

Bretons: They're just badass when it comes to magick, and even though I don't use it much, I enjoy making spells and being able to use them because my Breton character has enough magicka. They're somewhat like the brains if Tamriel.

Imperials: Homestly, I think that they definitely show that they are capable of creating a stable(almost), peaceful(sort of), prosperous empire. Face it, they're the reason that Tamriel has cities and towns of all sorts. They're somewhat like the confidence of Tamriel.

Nords: Feirce warriors, and very hard workers. They're furiously loyal to their beliefs, and definitely stand out as a very prominent race. They're like the backbone of Tamriel.

Argonians: It's pretty epic how they can breathe underwater, and I'm very curious about their homeland, black marsh. Besides, despite the way they're treated by the other races, they still move in with thier lives. They're always hopeful, and that's definitely worth taking note of.

Khajiit: They ae epic thieves, and like the Argonians, despite being treated horribly by the other races, they keep on fighting!

That's half of the playable races KOB!


If any of you have popped into my little thread, it would be pretty clear that my favorite is Khajiit.

Oh

I guess I like all races but the elves(that includes orcs)

I'm not being racist, I'm just not an elf fan. I usually like characters that can be extremely manly(yes, orcs can be like that, but I can't stand the way they look) and in my eyes, elves are......frilly. Im not saying I hate elves, but The Thalmor have helped contribute to me not being an elf fan....

No offense to anyone who likes the elves

It’s taken me a long time to sort out my favorite race, because my judgment is so clouded by how much I like my favorite characters from peoples’ stories and videos. So I thought about how fun the different races are to play in Oblivion and Skyrim for my answers.

From Oblivion I enjoy Redguards the most. Awesome culture, tremendous fun to play as swordsmen from the first step into the world, and (this part is pure vanity) pretty easy to make a good-looking character if you can sort out the uneven complexion issues. Adrenaline Rush lets a Redguard travel in clothing with just boots and bracers for armor. Block with the sword. Like Cyrus! Also a high percentage of my favorite Oblivion NPCs are Redguards. Michael Mack’s voice has a lot to do with that! The game’s description says it the best, though. “The most naturally talented warriors in Tamriel.” Yes, please!

In Skyrim it was tough to choose between Redguard, Khajiit, and orcs, but Berserker Rage makes me go with orcs. The stronghold culture provides an easy basis for an independent spirit who rejects their upbringing and finds their own way in the world, which has a lot of appeal to me. I also like to create characters against type, and Berserker Rage provides a way for non-warriors to survive Skyrim’s many hairy situations. Plus I really like the way Skyrim orcs look. It’s been fun to embrace a completely different standard of beauty.

Still, I just love Skyrim’s Khajiit. Their NPC voices, unarmed fighting, Nighteye, and the whole outsider culture are a lot of fun for me. I think I will be up to my Khajiit J’Shanji’s fourth life when he gets reborn into the game, and my Khajiit Shuvesse has really clung to my imagination. For team Redguard my characters have all been unadulterated awesome, right up until they died. Plus Asrael was almost too hot for third person.
