Poll: Favorite "Elder Scrolls" race?

[TheNumber1Zero]

Argonians were always my favorite species.

 

[Mashirafen]

Khajiit.

They're cats. No further reasoning is necessary.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

In Morrowind, I always was a Wood Elf because I like stealth and lock picking. In Oblivion I was always a Dark Elf because I still like the stealth stuff, but sneaking wasn't as hard and lock picking was ridiculously easy (especially when you get the skeleton key at lvl. 10) so I went with a slightly more combat oriented race.

I suddenly want to find a copy of Gex 2 and 3.

Good times...But lockpicking is cake in Oblivion. I can open Very Hard locks, first try, with a Security skill of 5.

Seriously, why should I bother with the Skeleton Key at this points?

 

[FairlyFrightenedFeline]

REG GUUUUAAAAAARRRDDDD

For life.

 

[Baldry]

Did the fellow dunmer at the start threaten to rape your wife?

Mmmm yeah he did, I got my revenge in the end, muhhaha

OT: Dark elf all the way,

 

[randomsix]

Redguards adrenaline rush lets you carry sooo much swag.

 

[Argtee]

I always pick Dark Elf.
Always,no matter what type of character I play as.

 

[funksobeefy]

oh gosh I totally forgot about red guard. I didnt read that in the choices but man I would take back my choice of Argonian for Redguard.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I always pick Dark Elf.

Well, they can do everything. But you should try other races on occasion.

The only one I hate is Imperial. They're great in Morrowind, where Speechcraft and Personality matter. but in Oblivion...

 

[LostNightRecon]

Argonian totally when i play a mage, which is my more common starting class lol. Second would be an Orc when i'm a fighter which.... I do play fairly often more so on Morrowind. Then usually a Wood elf as my third.

 

[Private Custard]

Nords......always Nords. They have cool face tattoos, great houses and a 'don't give a shit' attitude to everyone.

They fit with my play style perfectly. Wear heavy armour, grab a huge sword, go in, kill everything, take everything, go home for a few beers. I like to practice magic to create UberNord too!

 

[Sennz0r]

Dunmer was always my first choice, mainly because of their versatility, their cultural beliefs and because the dark complexion was just awesome.

I have to say Khajiit are second best because they're sneaky and I my Hand-To-Hand Khajiit was so strong and fast I could get pummelled by 3 people at once and still emerge victorious. Also the Night-Eye thing was handy as all hell in those dark caves.

After that it's Argonians, for all the aforementioned reasons.

 

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

Meh ... Dark Elf ... or Khajiit.

Dunmer especially in Morrowind + expansions ... because when you get bored you go on an Imperial-slaughtering-rampage .... 'liberating' Vvardenfell.

'Cos then you just have to mash 'auto' until you hear a click :3

Skeleton key would have been better if it DIDN'T raise your lockpicking abilities.

 

[Trivun]

Dark Elves are hot...

Okay, I'm just kidding. But they are cruel and sadistic and cool and evil. So yeah, they're my favourite

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I am liking the Nords at the moment, because

a) they drink like us us Irish

b) I am boring and like to tank

c) I like Bruma

 

[The DSM]

Khajits.

I like cats and ninjas, Cat-ninjas are super win.

 

[Highlandheadbanger]

I started out playing Morrowind, and fell in love instantly with the Noric people. A race that combined the best traits of the Celtic people (predominantly drawing from Scottish influences) mixed with a strong base of Nordic features.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Argonians! They're lizard men. That's just cool.

 

[Xeros]

I didn't really have a favorite, in fact I thought they all looked weird, but for some reason I always went with Breton.
