Poll: What Will Your Skyrim Race Be?

[DuctTapeJedi]

Just sort of wondering what everyone's favorite go-to race is, and what they'll try first in Skyrim.

I combined Redguard, Imperials and Nords, as they're all humans (Bretons have magic, they stayed), so if you chose that, specify which in the comments.

Personally, Bosmer forever. You just can't say no to +15 marksman.
(If an enemy makes it to you alive, you're doing something wrong.)

EDIT: If you want, you can post your favorite class, too.
(Custom class, Marksman, Alchemy, Security, Sneak, and whatever else I feel like)

Kahjit berserker. Good starting agility so I can dodge and sneak when I don't feel like banzai charging.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Imperial. Why always cool and make the best knights and gladiators!

 

[Azure Knight-Zeo]

I've always played as human (whether I wanted to or not *choughmasseffect*) and I was planning on using one of the more exotic races, if only I knew how to decipher which one on the poll was which.

 

[uncanny474]

Only retards play alliance. Orcs all the way.

Wait...

 

[Wayneguard]

Dunmer. I'll wanna go battlemage to try out the new dual wielding combat system. If that doesn't pan out, I'm definitely going sword n board nord.

 

[Phlakes]

Always was a Breton in Oblivion, just because their stats rocked for my playstyle. So if it's still similar, I'm going with that again. They also looked pretty normal.

 

[white_salad]

Argonian. Why? Because I want to be a god damned half human half velociraptor. Is that too much to ask for?

 

[Retal19]

I'm going to do what I've always done on my first playthrough of an Elder Scrolls game.

I will close my eyes and pick random things, hoping I don't turn out as a complete retard.

 

[Ekonk]

If the orcs don't look like SHIT maybe I will be one.

 

[grimsprice]

Bretons are vastly superior to everyone else.

Besides. Magic ftw.

 

[mb16]

whoo humans (Imperials) FTW screw your fairy dust!
if a few 1000years we'll still be here mother-truckers

 

[omicron1]

Uhh.. it's Skyrim. Half of us (me, at least) are going to pick Nords just because, well, we're in Nordish territory.

 

[AceDefective]

Bretons are the obvious choice why even bother with the other races
Elitism is the bees knees

 

[DuctTapeJedi]

Lot of love for the Bretons so far.

I played them a lot in Morrowind, when I was pure mage.
But stealth is better in Oblivion, so now I've been converted to Wood Elf.

 

[adderseal]

I've always had a soft spot for the Argonians. Good assassins, and they can BREATHE UNDERWATER. Imagine stalking your mark through a forest, then slithering into a lake or pond and lying in wait until the target rears its stupid fat head. Then surprise!
Also, yes it's possible to make a water-breathing spell or enchantment but it's just not the same.

 

[blankedboy]

What's a kahjit?

I'll play a Khajiit first, then probably a High Elf 'cos I don't play them enough.

And all you Breton fans, what do you do when you get hit by a mudcrab? You'd die in one hit! WEAK

spears ftw

 

[Thedayrecker]

Maybe a Bosmer Stealth-Archer

 

[Krais101]

Breton Assassin. Provides magic and sneak bonuses just the way I like it!

 

[Bobbity]

I ran a Nord in Oblivion, and it actually makes sense this time around, so that's going to be my first preference for Skyrim. I've always had a soft spot for Argonians though, so that'll probably be second.
