Poll: Skyrim - What race will you pick?

[WolfThomas]

I was going to make a Nord, it just makes sense given the setting andt their resistance to frost. Then I found out that you could have homosexual relationships and even though I'm straight now I want to make a character based off Omar Little from the Wire, so probably Redguard. Here's hoping there are scars.

 

[Laser Priest]

Presumably, an Argonian.

I plan to do a playthrough with every race, eventually, but my main playthrough will prolly be an Argonian.

 

[FPSMadPaul]

Dunmer of course!

 

[Jauffre]

Khajiit thief/assassin. Gotta love them cat people.

 

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

Call me a racist, but I think a Nord should be the dragon born. So for the first time EVER, I will roll a Nord warrior. Taste my shield.

 

[Raddra]

Argonian of course.

I love their fluff.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Dunmer.
I like them.

 

[Vault Girl]

Female Nord. I never really dabble in magic beyond healing, and tend to focus more on weaponry. I might change this tactic, from looking at the demo and such the magicka system seems to have come in leaps and bounds.

I'm going to stay with weaponry and maybe experiment with the other systems, but i always play Female Nord

 

[derbt]

Altmer. I always play as an Altmer first. I prefer playing as a magic-user, and elves are just awesome in general.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

I shall play my female Khajiit character from Oblivion, Ra'Naia Faye. She's a no nonsense stealthy archer who usually weields some form of enchanted short sword or dagger. She occassionally dabbles in restoration or illusion magics too. Awesome.

I might also try out a male Argonian in Skyrim too, they just look too good! They should have some sort of active demoralise effect on all enemies due to how scary they look.

 

[Stalydan]

Breton.

I love the magical races but I don't think I'm going to put everything into it. I like having a boost in skills and resistance. I might go for something like a Nightblade or Rogue style of play.

 

[King of Wei]

Breton mage/thief.
Breton today, Breton tomorrow, Breton forever!

 

[voltman000]

I'll use an orc warrior or a khajit archer

 

[similar.squirrel]

It'll be a toss-up between Redguard, Khajit and Bosmer. I'll probably go for a stealth-illusion-poison kind of build. Torment the foe while whittling down his health.

 

[Baneat]

A Khajit, a bow and arrows is all I ever going to need for my Skyrim, good sirs.

Though I want a Argonian using daggers for sandman kills.

 

[Richardplex]

If the magic damage taken increase isn't very much, High elf, sword and magic. Otherwise Nord. Or maybe argonian/Khajit rogue.

 

[RemuValtrez]

Dunmer(Dark Elf) first playthrough. Love being a jack of all trades, even though I generally go for stealth bow/sword, it's always nice knowing you have at least decent stats in magic (If it's even marginally close to Oblivion's starting stats).

After that, probably a Nord warrior or a Breton mage. Always fun to play!

Argonain,they're lizards! and also breathing underwater helped me alot in oblivion.
