Furious_George, you start all your games as a Redguard the way that I have started all my games since Arena with a khajiit.
What do you mean by ... Imperials are fun, especially for role play? That sounds fascinating. And DarkHunter likes Redguard second, since they are serious fighters. I must look into this. I never played a Redguard in Morrowind or Oblivion .. but I really loved playing Daggerfall, which took place in Hammerfell, Province of Redguards. Very nice people overall and they keep great inns. Much nicer inns than in Arena, I think.  -------------------- |

Redguards are stolid, solid fighters, they're uncomplicated and a good way to familiarize yourself with a game. Plus, my redguards usually have a modicum of social skills and can get along with most folks, even if they can't trick them out of their pocketbooks... Imperials are cunning and (in my mind) sneaky socialites. They can become any type of character you want, and are generally out for personal gain and political fame. Dress 'em up any way you want, and go become the leader of Cyrodiil, either through (mostly) main force, or through your wiles or magical trickery... Imps can do almost anything, if not better than anyone, they can usually get others to join them in their quest to become the wealthiest, most powerful sons of guns in all the land! |

I've liked Bretons a lot since Morrowind and, more recently in Oblivion, Khajiit characters. My Khajiit assassin-type character is easily my favourite at the moment, although my Breton demi-god-mage comes in a close second.
I never really liked elves much. Altmer aren't too bad and I can cope with Dunmer but I really, really, really hate Bosmer. It's probably because I had a misunderstanding with my Bosmer character on Morrowind; he seemed to enjoy being smashed to pieces by everything that came his way, I wanted to stay alive. We don't talk much anymore. -------------------- "If you make something idiot proof someone will invent a better idiot."

Imperial !
Why? Well... they are, if you've noticed, the "weakest" race of all... They don't have any good power or something. But my Knight has like blade skill 102! I think that beats any Ancestral Ghost, or Beast tongue, or Adrenaline rush. I really love Blade, Block and Heavy Armor. Imperial just makes me feel human  |

Imperial just makes me feel human Anyone can get a 100+ blade skill, so Imp is certainly not anything special there. You'll certainly get 100 faster as any race with a blade bonus and select it as a major skill. Adrenaline rush has less utility in the late game, although it's still good then. It's in the early game that it is a HUGE advantage. I like Imps though. They look like me, which gives them a natural boost on teh beauty scale!  |

Ahahah... the beauty scale. Yes indeed, Furious_George, if your Avvy is any example.
Imperials do make you feel human and that is the beauty of them. And a very self-sufficient, striving for the best type of human. That's how my Imperial lass makes me feel. I've decided that she will be my main character that I will go all the way through Oblivion with. Bretons are human of course but with magical skills, which most of us in real life don't have. Nords are very cool, very berzerker if you make them right, but again not many people in real life get to walk around getting their way by overpowering shows of strength and rage. Diplomacy and compromise are more the tools of the day in our age and there again you have it - The Imperial. -------------------- |

I love the Bretons and the Khajiit. ^.^
Bretons are just awesome with magicka and can be good warriors. Khajiit are just adorable! And they can see in the dark. --------------------  |

Orcs... It's something about the nobility factor - and the brute strength coupled with magic resistance that gets me interested.

After I got Oblivion I really can't decide wich race I like the most. All both look and work much better then in Morrowind.
I really like my sneaky khajiit though, nails the roleplay perfectly. -------------------- |

Kajiits!
They where pretty well rounded in Morrowind plus they favord axes and short blades with no major disadvanteges. (I's that spelled right?) They seem to favor sneakyness in Oblivion but I'm a spellsword. Nice balance between combat and magic. I've always liked the idea of being a wherecat. -------------------- There is nothing so magical as a good bite on the boat,

I haven't been playing OB much - replayability is down and I can't even play with modding since I'm a 'boxer.  I'm also trying to get ready to move overseas, so I'll not have much time to play for about 2 months, but I'll check in occasionally.... |

Hoo-wee. I wonder just how many times I've seen this question in a thread or poll.
I'm not critisizing you of course, just making an observation. |

I see Intestinal Chaos as a Dunmer. Or a wood elf ... nah, scratch that. He's too tall and evil for Bosmer.
Definitely a Dark Elf. Or, let me think about this ..... Altmer?? What do you think? -------------------- |

Breton.
They make good mages. I don't like High Elves very much so I stick with Bretons. -------------------- |
