Yami Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I played as a Wood elf in all of the TES games since Morrowind because daggers and bows are my favourite weapons Also, I prefer stealthy approaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolarCat02 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Argonian for me, I liked the underwater breathing, plus D mentioned that the disease resistance would be useful. I'm still fiddling with things, so still not 100% certain where she will end up. It's fun as my character and I find out together - I think that's one of the appeals of Skyrim, really. D's playing as a stealthy assassin kahjiit this playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seprith-2 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 In Morrowind I chose Dunmer and in Oblivion I had an Argonian. With Skyrim everyone was so impressed with the improved graphics over Oblivion that I wanted to play as a human race. I do not like the Nords as a race so it was a toss-up between either Breton and Imperial; eventually, I chose the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Freaker Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 The only race that makes sense is being a Nord. The interaction with other races often does not makes sense if you aren't a Nord yourself. Example: A Dunmer can get asked if he hates Dunmer (which you can confirm) Khajit complain about never entering the cities, but you as Khajit can. Altmer boast how superior they are over all races and you, but you are an Altmer too ... Choosing a race should alter the story a bit. Helghen (prologue) should end with a cutscene where you faint (example) and wake up in a location based on your race. An Argonian should wake up at either Solitude or Riften that uses docks where they can work at. A High Elf gets taken to Solitude because he gets mistaken for a member of the Aldmeri Dominion A Dunmer wakes up in the Windhelm alienage ... This could be a bit the same like the Dragon Age Origins prologues This would make a lot more sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephilin73 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 As an female lesbian Wood Elf, mainly because of her stealth ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowGandalf Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I chose Khajit, because they're all about Stealth and that fits my play style. I love sneaking around and striking from the shadows. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/miracle-of-sound/5498-Khajiit-Like-To-Sneak-Skyrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDubz_215 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I chose a nord because hes massive and im all about melee, non of that magic and block stuff, just brute force and power and running into places like a badass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittygirl2010 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 My first playthrough, I played a Wood Elf who was great at all things sneaky and thief-like. I never really choose based on the starting skills, I just play whatever catches my eye. My second and current playthrough is a Nord...boring I know, but I use it for RP purposes for my current fanfiction. Plus a Nord seems most fitting for the "Hero of Skyrim" role. ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitsune29 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Nord since I think this race fits best for obvious reasons (Skyrim). First I mainly used axe and shield, now I switched to a two-handed sword. Melee all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-i-g-o Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) I finished Skyrim twice and I always was a Khajiit, don't know why but I love their atributes, specially the Stealth, one of the best things I like to do in Skyrim is killing enemies with stealth, backstabbing or with an arrow, with one hit kill, or even use your Khajiit with Illusion skills! It's even better when nobody notices and you kill them all without having to fight, but I also always had a sword if I got in problems.

BlackUnicorn_90 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I always use an Argonian since i play for the first time Oblivion, i always think it was a cool race for the fact you can breath in water, but is not much. This time i finish Skyrim for the second time with a an Bosmer i always think the sneak mode is the best for The Elder Scrolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chosen Undead Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 A Khajit, because cats are awesome, and no other reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyesUnholy Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Imperials. I have no real reason really, I just chose the Imperial class in both Oblivion and Skyrim because I felt like being a normal human Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Started out using the Nord race to make melee fighters, but that got boring. So I started a new character that's a female Breton who is a melee fighter using heavy armor and two handed weapons. Combat skills rise up really quickly, but supporting skills don't, so the Breton race gave me bonuses in the supporting skills I wanted to use the most (Restoration, Alteration, Alchemy) and the combat skills with no bonuses (Two Handed, Heavy Armor, Block, Archery, Smithing) quickly caught up.

Black Goku Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Breton because of its magic affinity and because it's human 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximum Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Nord, because I'm a human. I wouldn't understand why anyone would choose something else other than Nord. A friend of mine chose the race (I forgot the name), where he played as a cat-looking person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceofjade Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 my first game i was a khajit because i literally love cats, in my second save on ps3 i was more tactical and made a wood elf because i love archery and stealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WileECoyoteXP Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Wood Elf, Archery is the most lethal form of combat when used well with stealth in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u2mad_Bro Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Khajit. I chose them because I mean, how many times can you play as an awesome cat? plus the fact that they are sneaky, and have great unarm combat make them perfect for those few thieves guild quests. Haha, would LOVE to one day build a PC and mod the shit outta Skyrim to give my Khajit Nekogal-like qualities Idk I love sneaking, stealing, money and lockpicking haha BUT I do play as a dark elf in Oblivion for similar reasons x3 Plus haha it is a fun challenge to make your Khajit be just as good as a Nord and Woodelf once I am back home from university [Hope I pass my university this time x3] I want to level up my magika. idk i find it fun choosing a character that say, has low strength, and leveling up their strength. much like my night elf in Obilivion, I want to level up her sword skill...gosh...i miss Skyrim and Oblivion x3 haha maybe when i get a chance, i should start out as a Breton and level up sneak related skills haha.
