Mr_Freaker Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I used to play as an Altmer (High Elf) because of the 50+ points to magic. The game used to have limits, so having 50+ extra points is very useful, considering leveling up five time would be required with other races. Also I recall a skill where the magic would regen very fast allowing more spells in a short amount of time. Because of these 50+ magic points, I felt like this charachter would be the best base for all different playstyles. Skyrim is a game that you can start with the intention of being one type of player and ending as the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think the only races I haven't been are Nord and Imperial. I've always just chosen the race based on how I feel at the time. After a few levels, starting stats don't really matter any more. I can't really pick a favourite. PS4 GOTY re-release, utilising some of the texture mods the PC crowd have enjoyed and I'd be a day-one purchaser. C'mon Bethesda... please?

I sadly doubt it's going to happen, but still. I'd settle for farthest render distance, and ultra graphics in 1080p@60fps. All expansions included, of course.

GoldenWolfHunter Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I change my character every time, the race I play as the most are Orcs because they are bad asses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanshah1991 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I chose to be a Nord. It just made sense to me that it would be appropriate if the hero of Nordic folktale, who resides in Skyrim (home if the Nords), would be a Nord. Plus, in a role-play kinda way, I thought it would help me connect with the locals better. To have common culture, you know? How could you?!? Altmer are the Nazis of Tamriel! I kill your kind on sight...OFF WITH THEIR HEADS Along with their colonialism & impudency they more like the British Crown to me rather than Nazi . It was odd how Thalmor ambassadors were so offensive even though I was an Altmer! I feel nonhuman races (all except Nords,Imperials,Redguards & Bretons) don't fit Lycanthropy & Vampirism well. (Imagine a khajit turning into werewolf ) I can't feel like a true vampire or lycan that way, Is it just me feeling like that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it, those races don't fit a werewolf or vampire role at all. Perhaps that's why The Companions are only humans. Even Bethesda might have seen how it doesn't fit as well.

Krazy_99 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I played as a Redguard. I preferred to get up close when it came to fighting and Redguards started with a higher level for one-handed and block skills. If I ever played through the game again I would go with a race that uses magic as it's main form of attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TesseractE Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Argonian. Built-in waterbreathing, and Histskin has saved my skin more than once. I also like the way they talk, grammatically and aurally. They look cool, too.... Dragonscale armor blends in perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albani0310 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I started as an Imperial. On game like these I always select the one that looks more human or badass than others. My character look like James Hetfield from Metallica lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful84 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Haven't started this yet but I plan to play the game as an Argonian. Look at them! Do I need any other reason beyond that? Edited November 3, 2014 by merciful84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyBien Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I am currently playing again. Started with a female Imperial, for no real reason whatsoever. Developing her to a sneaky thief/assasin in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusTheShadow Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I played as a Nord but stood on Imperial side against Stormcloaks,which may sound contradictory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
