Poll: What Will Your Skyrim Race Be?

[WrongSprite]

Wood elf, ************.

I'm usually a sneaky assassin or something.

 

[duktapeman90]

Dunmer, pluses to swords and destruction. What more do you need?

 

[CATS FTW]

I liked the Kajiit in Morrowind, but in Oblivion they were just too butt ugly, I think their heads were too big. But in Morrowind, I thought they were purrrrty cool. Hah. See what I did there, cause they're cats? Otherwise I'll play as a breton just because usually they ironically look the most human.

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

Human, because I am a bigot against fantasy races.

In all honesty, I don't know. I have to see what class offers what traits.

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

I'll probably be an Imperial like I always am. Or get some mods and be one of those races.

 

[laughing_boy]

Nord

 

[Ashil Tokhai]

My loyalty is to the legion, I am a soldier of the Imperials (CAN'T WAIT FOR SKYRIM!)

Can't wait to raid countless of Nord villages (If there is going to be a conflict with the Nords, cause Oblivion sure put that tension up with all those rumors of Legion Forts)

 

[Jake0fTrades]

Dunmer, of course I'll have my PC version modded out to make them less elf-y and more badass.

 

[pwnzerstick]

Dunmer, although I'm not sure what is actualy going to happen in terms of changes, but either way I'm excited

 

[blankedboy]

Also, *checks drivers' license* Yep, I'm still female.

Wait... what does that have to do with anything xD

You called her a him in your last post

Ohhhhh right. My bad

 

[Vern]

Orc, I just like them. Sure the Nord's have many of the same characteristics, and are better at close combat, but being an Orc is neat.

 

[DarkShadow144]

I usually just go with the Imperial. The thing is, i just dont like being a cat or lizerd person, and the elves just kinda creep me out. (dont ask me why, they just do)

 

[Decy19]

I dunno. I know i'll be an argonian assassain first playthrough because.... well they're lizardmen. Then maybe i'll play a nord deul wielding Shields! Fear My Shield Bash!

 

[Cobblerfiend]

argonian if for no other reason than the rest of the game world hates them

and thats not fair

 

[EHKOS]

First time around I'll be a Nord, next time, Dumner. I have hated Bosmer ever since that bastard with the ebony armour kicked my ass in Tribunal.

 

[TriGGeR_HaPPy]

Khajiit, and I'm gonna specialise in Hand-To-Hand combat, mostly because I haven't done that combat style or played that race in any of the previous games yet... I've always been meaning to, just never have. :S

 

[Kimarous]

It'll likely depend on how much they tweak the various races, but odds are I'll go Breton. They're a good all-rounder type that allow magic to be halfway feasible, and I might bother with magic more since they've already trimmed out the one school I never used anyway (Mysticism).

 

[lumenadducere]

Argonian. Dunno why, but I played as one in both Morrowind and Oblivion, so I'll probably continue for Skyrim.

 

[WolfThomas]

Actually OP I believe from the lore that Bretons-Imperials-Nords are far closely related to each other than to Redguards. They all share a common ancestor, whereas the redguards appeared on the continent much later.

Though what I'd love is if you could play a mixed race, it's seems strange how everyone is sorted into perfect racial groups. I mean obviously beast people can't mixed. But between the humans and the elf groups there's the potential for some interesting combinations.

 

[Bek359]

Dunmer. Because I love Dark Elves of any kind (sue me) and 75% fire resist is insanely useful, especially since there are DRAGONS in this game.
