Poll: Favorite "Elder Scrolls" race?

[Latinidiot]

wood elves and nords, to stab in the back and to tower over everyone smashing their teeth in

 

[JMeganSnow]

I like the Bretons, personally--they make kickin' mages, which is my preferred play style.

 

[silasbufu]

I like Redguards.

 

[Acidwell]

Dunmer for the mix of melee and magic

 

[scornedbythenine]

I dig Argonians, personally. They can breathe underwater and are immune to poison. Meaning that you have 2 less things to worry about.And they have cool names, like Runs-In-Circles and Big Head.

and they are actually the weakest race and because the elder scrolls is epic but un-challenging
they are awesome. i also picked then after hearing the a conversation in the dark brotherhood when my mate first got it. "argonians born under the sign of the shadow are instantly taken into the night mothers embrace as shadowscales" but alas... this only happens in the black marsh -sniff_... oh well i guess im gonna have to kill an npc to get into an awesome faction.. oh woe-est me

I've always gone High Elf with mages in Oblivion, Breton in Morrowind.

Bosmer, for lithe ninja/assassin builds

Khajiit, for those who want to do assassin builds right

 

[mechanixis]

I always end up playing Nords, because all other flavors of human are just too frail and breakable by comparison. My only full playthrough of Morrowind was a Bosmer, though. They have a nice Legend of Zelda vibe.

My latest Oblivion character is a stealthy Argonian named Kills-with-Hands. He's quite...Thane-inspired.

 

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

Wood elves are cool. They are basically hobbits

Bosmer, I love playing as a stealthy archer assassin.

Khajiit and Argonian are a tie for a second close, the former because they also fit the stealthy role greatly while looking cool, and the latter because, as it has been said, underwater breathing and poison immunity make everything easier, and I like their character design too. The disease immunity is supposedly good, except I like vampirism and it makes it harder to become a vampire.

 

[TheScarecrow]

I'll play anything that isn't argonians or cats. The stupid animal hybrids are silly and underpowered too.

The Khajiit are cool man. In fact I wish I chose them instead for the extra stealth bonus as I played a thief/rogue type.

Incidentally, the combat tends to be a bit annoying.

Vampirism was such a waste for me. Especially when you can't fast travel at day time and most of the important quest people only hang out at daytime.

Don't start me on that cure either!

Sorry about the double-post.

I like Nords. I always play as a Nord. Big dudes from up in the snowy mountains wielding huge claymores. They are kinda like Tamriel barbarians, that's why I like them. Like human Orcs or something. But my favorite NPC's are Khajiit and Argonians, Khajiit are better.

 

[Akai Shizuku]

Nav'i Dunmer. I also like Nords.

 

[_Janny_]

Well I see I'm the only one to choose high elf so far, but I stick by it.
My best character in that game was a high elf pure-mage.

I played with one of those babies in Morrowind. I have a thing for mages, you see. And yep, the magic just killed everything in sight. So much fun. And I never realized just how tall high elves are until I replayed with a dark elf...

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

Dunmer, because I love using swords and magic equally.

I've also played an Argonian, which is awesome 'cause you don't get diseases and you can breathe underwater.

Also, I decided to try out Khajiit on my most recent character. I haven't really noticed anything especially outstanding about it yet.

 

[Vern]

I always choose Orcs, because I like being a fighting bastard. And yes, with the race perks the Nord would probably be a better choice for a fighter, but I just like Orcs. I have Tolkein, Warcraft, and an influential mind to thank for that. And I mean the books, and the first Warcraft. Besides, in Oblivion and Morrowind I managed to get enough skill in all areas to complete all the quests, including the Mage Guild with an Orc who had basic working knowledge of magic. Magic is fun, but nothing feels better than smashing in a skull with an axe.

Except paralyzing the enemy with magic, and then making them die slowly with a long acting Damage Health effect.

Both those problems are addressed by feeding regularly; you won't suffer Sun damage, so you'll be able to meet anyone at any time, you'll be able to fast travel and you'll still have some bonuses.

The only time I wouldn't feed is if I was going to do a harder quest, in which case the higher bonuses would come in handy.

Ah, i see.
