Poll: Skyrim - What race will you pick?

[Ready2Go]

Dunmer or Breton, they're my two favorite races.

 

[Daddy Go Bot]

Orc warrior. If not warrior, definitely something in the melee spectrum.

 

[WaywardHaymaker]

I'll probably end up rolling up my usual Dunmer Battlemage. I can cross blades with the best of 'em or knock them off their feet with a lightning bolt at a hundred feet; take your pick.

But I AM SO FUCKING tempted to roll up an Imperial who spends all his time dual-wielding shields and/or longswords. Now that I bring it up... I want to play a Shokan!

Smart enough to open doors by any chance?
XD

Oh you know it and I'll also make sure to keep a 6 inch blade with me at all times for those close encounters. I'll go straight for the belly and spill their intestines!

If I remember right, in Oblivion, Argonians actually got bonuses to door-opening. Those crafty lizards!

 

[souper soup guy]

Brenton mage will come first
Then an Argonian rouge
Then as a challenge, an altmer fighter
Then an orc rogue/mage.

It should be fun.

 

[Fiad]

Going to play Argonian, I have always liked the idea of them, but in the past two games they just have not looked very good which made me avoid them. Am playing through Oblivion again as one and it is quite fun.

 

[JochemDude]

Nord
Why? Resistance, brute force and endurance. Those are my personal traits so I try to use them in games too.

 

[platinawolf]

Khajiit, hands down I played though the different chars in morrowind and only the Khajiit puts me at a comfortable distance. Sides, its one hell of a sexy kitty And no, it wont be female ^^*

 

[JamesWebber]

I will go preferably go for Breton or Altmer, because i am more of a pure magic class/character guy. It is hard to play as Altmers because of weakness to magicka? and they are more offensive (Did that change from oblivion?) where as Bretons are more resistant and more defensive

 

[Kachiporra]

Khajit
cant't wait to run around singing de nya cat song!!

 

[Torrasque]

Totally going Klingon Dunmer.
Always loved them dark elves, and they've always been such pleasant people to interact with
Might roll a Kajiit, but we'll see.

 

[plugav]

You got me, my character in Oblivion was Breton. There's a good reason for it - the new magic system didn't suck.

Now, I'll most likely go back to playing Dunmer. Because of Destruction magic, blades and nostalgia for Morrowind.

 

[haaxist]

Some kind of elf. I like pointy ears lol. But really, Wood Elves are the best for sneaky bowman type characters. If I can't get the face to look right I'm going for a Breton though. And I'm pretty sure you can change your height in Skyrim, so the face that these two races were the shortest in Oblivion won't make much difference. XD

 

[ChupathingyX]

Orc Warrior or Breton Battlemage.

Depending on weather custom spells exist.

It has now been confirmed that you will not be able to make custom spells.

 

[aaronobst]

Female Altmer with big hooters.... She will be the hard-to-get stick insect of tamriel

 

[Wuggy]

I like elves, mostly because of the physique. I like an agile and slender character, but I probably won't go for a thief/rogue type, more like an acrobatic character with speciality to blades and speechcraft. Something along the lines of a "duelist". So I'm thinking I'll probably go Dunmer (I.e. a Dark Elf). But I don't want to play it as a brooding loner stereotype, but rather charismatic.

 

[standokan]

Nord, Orcs or Catpeople, probably one or two though since my first character always is a fighter.

 

[sycopath666]

Dark Elf rouge.

 

[Dalek Caan]

Either Orc or Argonian. Probably Orc though so I can smash my opponents heads in.

 

[Azaradel]

I always play as a sneaky dunmer bastard with a bow in his hands.

And he's always named Enigma...
Because the first time I played I had no imagination, and then he just kinda got stuck with that name.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Orc Warrior or Breton Battlemage.

Depending on weather custom spells exist.

This game is inferior to Oblivion and Morrowind both now.
