Your favorite race Options

[Parkillous]

REDGUARD FTW! They are pwnage and the closest thing to an 'achilles race'... I don't think they need to be all fighting though... my guy focused on magic early on, tough as it was, he can now out match necromancers etc, v v good assasin... and that is without even using their best aspect... if magic and stealth fails to kill, you just pull out a sword and shield and mow everything down

cant beat it

[hunter14]

my favorite race are monkeys.

[The Metal Mallet]

I think the Dark Elves are the most impressive because of their versatility. At least in the aggresive aspect. They're excellent with destructive magic, and swords. The perfect Battlemage if ya ask me. If they get caught in certain situations that disaude the use of one aspect, lets just say physical damage, then they'll just blast them with a spell. Vice-versa applies for magical resistance.

KHAJIIT!

There the best assassins and theifs they have natural acrobatics and speed. There one of the best with hand to hand. Also the ability to lockpick is also pretty high to start.

[Venerable Aegis]

I don't know why, but I'm so pro-humanity. Why? If you think about us in a general sense and the stuff we've gotten into in real history and Tamriel's history, you've got to have a part of you that thinks we're awesome.

My first character was an Imperial Knight. A good warrior and nobleman of sorts. But then he didn't have much magika and I was like "noooooooo!" He was on level 23 last time I played him and ranked top on all the guilds, brotherhoods, ect. (and Champ of Cyrodill, of course)

So I moved on to what I wanted to be an even more nobler and renown character (with more magika). A Breton Crusader this time around. That worked out pretty well until sometime around or after I did Mehrunes' Razor with him and got his first 4 infamy points. Ah well, he got his first murder because of the Grey Prince a while earlier, boo. I played as him earlier today and his at level 29 right now, with his strength up at max and his intelligence and willpower above the 90s.

I might try another Imperial next, but I'm not sure. Since my Breton is has already been tainted by the forces of evil I guess he can begin doing everything else.

the khajiit in oblivion are stupid, but the kind in morrowind (forgot teh name are cooler. anyway, my fav race might be.....argonians:) no! nords! yeah nords!

[hunter14]

My favorite race are the wood elves. i love archers and wood elves make the best archers. After them i like the dunmer because they make the best all around char.

[Ibis]

My favorite starting race is Khajiit. Right now for Oblivion my favorite race is femaile Imperial. In Morrowind I tended to like Bretons and Altmers for the magicka skills.

Oh and hunter14, concerning your humorous post up above about monkeys ... I once made a new npc race that was a cappucine monkey. Just one of him - wearing a little red vest and he had glasses from the goggle mod. I combined some body parts from the Moogles for Morrowind mod with Khajiit parts and human ears and one of the rope textures for a tail. All colored like a cappucine monkey. I hope that I still have him on disk somewhere. If I find him, I'll show you a picture of him. He was very cute = Jess was his name after the leader of ElderScrolls.com

[deemu]

i like nords

Uhh... Khajiits? My favorite race would be the Khajiit, however, BECAUSE THEY'RE CATS. However, I play as Imperials because they don't sound stupid, and they don't have tails, so I can wear stuff that takes up the tail slot without not having a tail.

Uhh... Khajiits?

He's referring to the name of the subtype. In Morrowind the Khajiit were Suthay-Raht. We're never told what we have in Oblivion, so we can only guess based on the little we know from before. Click here for a bit more about the subtypes.

I know about sub-types! Aren't Suthay-Raht the big ones? If they're not, I'm guessing these are... Ohmes-Raht, because they can wear shoes!

Suthay-Raht aren't that big, as we could see in Morrowind. But yeah, you might very well be right about the Ohmes-Raht being in Oblivion. They're not Ohmes, though, since the Ohmes are shorter.

Ok, my favorite race to play as....... Imperial!!!!

favorite (to daydream)........ Dark and High Elves!!! (don't make me choose!)

I tend to use stealth characters, but I dislike Kajiit and Bosmer. Dunmer look cool, and are well rounded. Altmer are tall, stately, and have believable weaknesses (only gods are perfect, not demi-gods). Imperials are subtle, intelligent, and minipulative (in a good-fun- way)

[Fargoth]

My favorite race is dunmer, cause' they look cool and have high blade, marksman and destruction skills. I love it cause' that's my favorite combo.

[jack cloudy]

Heh, I don't have Oblivion yet but I will, someday. So, I suppose I could answer in this thread, right? As for character, in Morrowind I played as the rude yet noble swordfighter/mage Luper Alkad who was a Redguard by the way. In Oblivion, I think I'll go for the clawing, backstabbing, antisocial, bloodthirsty Khajiit with a fur as black as the night that spawned him.

Hey, if you're going to play as a big cat, you'd better make use of their natural tools.

Well currently I have three characters..

A Breton Crusader, whos more like a battlemage.

A Dunmer swordsman/archer

And an Atlmer God... Hehe, I played with his stats cause I wanted to see what a super sorcerer would be like.. And omg, it kicks boat.

But my fav has to be the Imperials.. Don't know why but I always associate myself with them.

[Shiniku]

I like bretons because I'm more like a breton, kind've cowardly, would rather shoot some magic great compassion at somebody than beat them with a sword. But even then, I like imperials better, because the name 'Shiniku' is a name for a character I created ages ago and he is most similar to an imperial. All that aside, I prefer argonians, becaue they rock. 'Not your's, mine!'

[Poison Heart]

I like Khajiit the best as i like assassin and thief classes and if you make their fur pure black and ware the dark brotherhood outfit they look really cool

[1234king]

My top three would go like this:

1. Redguard (yeah)
2. Bosmer (Wood Elf)
3. Altmer (High Elf)
