Nord. Was gonna go with a Redguard, but considering the theme of the game I thought a Nord would fit a lot better. My second character will probably be a Khajit though, just for trying out the claws in fist fighting. :F
What Race Do You Use In Skyrim? [And Why]
- Thread starter FalloutAl
- Start date
I went Nord, as I'm of the north, and we're in the Nord's homeland.
I'm not sure what to say about my battle style, as sometimes I sneak and backstab or give them an arrow to the head, sometimes I use magic, and sometimes I just plow them down with a sword and axe. I'm more or less a jack of all trades.

Orc 1h specd melee master.. sometimes i use 1h and resto, 1h and shield, duel wield, or even starting to train up 2h now too (not sure if i will dump in points) I am pretty much fully specd in Heavy Armor and Orcs are very badass and zerk rage really helps me get out of alot of hard situations.
My second character is an Argonian stealth mage who plans to become a vampire and pretty much kill everything in Skyrim.

This is pretty much how I'm playing, hurray for sneaky Argonian MagesSlaveNumber23 said:
Though my backup is a sword and shield instead of a dagger.
...Yes, I realize that makes me trying to be all 3 classes at once. Like I care, it's fun.
Rolled a Breton, thinking I'd enjoy the Magicka bonus and 50% magicka resistance...not to be. Racial bonus is completely gimped to a paltry 25% resistance with zero bonus.
I intended to play a fighter/mage with a bit of sneak, ended up playing sneaky archer with illusion spells (well, invisibility anyway). Magic seems to be a little crap, most spells, at least the interesting ones are out of reach and out of sight. Destruction and resto level very slowly and I can't find any better versions of the bloody novice spells for those schools. So yeah, gave up on magic for the most part. Oh and alchemy takes so long to level I sorta lost interest.
Have sneak, lockpick, smithing & pickpocket @ 100, archery and enchanting around 85 ish, illusion & one handed around 75-80, trained heavy armor but don't use it as the nightingale set looks so damned good, which I regret. My daedric bow with absorb stamina enchantment pretty much one-hits everything with 3x sneak attack and I have a daedric dagger for 30x backstab insta-death w/soul trap.

Nice. Did you name him Choppa or Slugga?Agayek said:
Anyway, my first - and so far only - character is a Nord. I felt I should see Skyrim through the eyes of one of her sons. And I sided with the Stormcloaks to get revenge for all the times those Imperial guards called me criminal scum during the last game.
Also, I found Ulfric's voice strangely sexy. Is that weird?
I'll probably try a Breton mage next or something.
Used to be Wood Elf with archery, sneak and destruction as backup, because I'm always the sneaky kind who enjoys slitting throats and not being in jail for being seen, and now I've started another one, an Imperial with destruction, heavy armor and smithing, because I want to kill stuff without having to retreat every 2 hits, and I just want to try smithing.
This, also i used them in Morrowind, because they had a bonus to athletics or defense, i cant remember but i have used them ever sinceR4ptur3 said:
I'm a Nord who uses heavy armor, shield and a hand axe. Why? Well it's super bad ass to run in and axe bandits in the neck. Also the time slowdown on the shield makes it easy to shield bash a power attack and completely shut down melee attackers.
Nordic sneaky marksman...
...What the hell?
Same thing I played in Morrowind and Oblivion. Except for the marksman part, because it used to be shit. Still didn't stop me from putting points and a lot of hope into bows at the start of the game. -.-

I picked an Orc, because I never did that thus far and because I wanted him to become an eloquent, cocky and arrogant archmage...
Do I have the first Orc-Archmage in Tamriel? I doubt it, but I certainly do hope so...
Oh, I'm sooooo proud of my little boy...

Raj is Khajiit!
He is Khajiit because.... parents were Khajiit?
Well.... Parents were drunken slobs who run poorly managed bar in dunes of Hammerfell, but still Khajiit. Father taught me to steal at early age. Pick pockets of sleeping bar goers. Learn to be sneaky at same time.
Drunk Redguard have no qualm about hitting Khajiit with bottle. Or chair. Anything within arms reach really.
And mother taught Raj to use dagger! Well.... She teach to use kitchen knife on rats, or she backhand with cooking pot.
If your going to Hammerfell anytime soon, avoid the "Grotty Gorge Tavern". Please is a crap hole! Not that has to do with Raj's parents....

Khajiit, I already play humans in every other game, LET ME BE A KITTY KITTEN.
Also, stealth in Skyrim is not like the one in Oblivion. Now you can actually clear a dungeon slitting throats. FUN.

I play Redguard. I like the idea of being wild adventuring badass, which happens to be perfectly in tune with the lore surrounding them.
