What Kind Of Race Will You Be?, Imperial, Redguard, Dark Elf ... Options

[Curly_G_]

a battlemage Redguard?
Redguard's are one of the worst races to choose when you want to be a mage, right?

Bah, there's nothing to stop me from being a Wood-Elf Barbarian! It's just going to get a bit more difficult

(Ok, I admit, it was a while ago I played morrowind, I'm getting rusty...)

Yeah, I used to pick the exact opposite race to make it a lot more of a challenge.
But now they've ironed out any inbalance so even experienced Morrowind players wont smash-n-grab as clutter has a value of 0, and Acrobatics doesn't level as fast for pointless jumps and Athletics not as fast for random sprints, so no one will Run-n-Jump.
They put a lot of time into making it so that people will play it as if they were a resident of Cyrodiil rather than someone who is actually superior to everyone else in no time at all... Now you need to work for that!

I think that dunmer are more of a "rounded" race. What i mean by that is that they have more bonuses in a number of skills than the argonians have

Argonian resist poisons and run/swim fast too Being Argonian mage is fun, even if you'll have alittle too low magic point You can just flee and shot arrows anyway

[Chuck]

As soon as I always play as Mage my race will be Breton defenetly.
Male af course.
By the way I have a question: Gender of my character will have any differences in playgame or not?

[Tellie]

I actually thinkl this question have been discussed all the way down to oblivion itself...if you just look good enough, I think youll find close to a dozen polls like this, but still I shall answer, just beacuse you wanted to know...I will be a female dunmer mage....

[MarkII]

personally i just cant decide whether to go for a shadowy theif assasin type, or a valliant and noble knight. i may end up just mixing it though, as i dont think i could resist the urge to steal stuff all the time

[Golzog]

. I will start with an Orc, like their look and armor

[Nomad1946]

I love my female Bosmer Ranger.

[Atlarge]

Bretonian. Wait, wrong game, Breton.
Being a high Elf is tempting, but that weakness to destructive magic is worrysome.

[Shogun Ryudan]

My Charachter should be relatively good in combat, but also have a lot of stamina. That's why I choose Nord!
Anyone else here agree?

[Andric]

Ive already made my first character.

I was an imperial, my friend was an Orc, and my brother was an Argonian.

[Ola Martin]

I love the redguards, but I think i'll go for the dark elf this time

[milanius]

Milanius, the ever travelling soul-torn drunken hero, was (and will always be) half Breton, half Nord... but, of course, racial treits are that of a Breton, if we exclude his height, bad temper, cursing and, of course, his devotion to cheap liquors

[Agent Griff]

I think my first character shall be a Redguard Knight. I have developed an afinity for Redguards. I shall name my knight Arthago, after some guy in Sentinel.

[Fethenwen]

I thought first of making a Nord thug, but I think I will give Wood Elf a try. They sure look much better now in Oblivion.
A fast and agile Wood Elf thief mastering the bow will be my choice number one :P

[Ola Martin]

My PC is a very dark dark elf with alittle of red, looks so evil.

[bloodyfish]

This whole custom thing let my dark elf be yellow. But I made him green again. Too bad the eyes are always red. I wanted to customise that also. And hes a battlemage born under the mage. Im planning to make a kajit acrobat.

[MarkII]

i went for a nord, majoring in strength and agility and minoring in armourer, heavy armour, blade, block, marksman, sneak and security. ive never been that interested in magic, but i can understand belting someone with a sword. doing this kind of split character appeals to me though, because i can be a knight/fighter while maintaining sneaky theif sensiblilties. it also means that ill be able to carry a hell of a lot of looted goods around with me if i want to go on a stealing rampage

[pepekerouac]

I had two or three ideas of what to be before I got my game. By the time I'd left the dungeon I was truly bewildered by what I'd picked. But now I've come to love my character. Khajiit, under the sign of the warrior, magic as a focus, major skills blunt, heavy armor, destruction, alchemy, sneak, marksman, conjuration. This is my first elder scrolls game playing with maces. I look forward to becoming a blunt master.

I use battlemage because I can summon, heal and attack. But I also try to get thief skills leveled. That sounds pretty original.

[Wurlon]

I "won't be" a nord because I already am a nord. After I play with this guy for a logn time though, I plan on being a assassinative female argonian. I think the argonians look much better, I just wish the females were more feminine....
