Argonian seems to fit my play style best. Also, water-breathing is NEVER a disadvantage.

It's not a disadvantage... but it's also not that great. It's not that hard to claim the Jewel of Rumare and it's one of the simplest spells to make for any race. Also there isn't nearly enough circumstances where you'll NEED to swim through water to get to your next point. Compared to Morrowind and Daggerfall, Oblivion is DRY.

Therefore, to me, it seems like a wasted trait.

Vanilla:
Bretons, just because it's the race I use to make my battlemage (warrior-mage custom class, not the terrible one in the default class list!)

Modded:
Personally modded Bretons to be 1.02, Weight 0.95, and became more fitting to be a battlemage.




Bretons all the way!

Not really. It's just one less thing I have to think about. And even if it is, it's coupled with poison immunity and high disease resistance. Individually, they may not be worth a great deal, but to me they're highly convenient.

Also: Argonians are just cool.

Argonians are intriguing. I definitely want to see a proper visit into Black Marsh someday.

Haha in Arena they just looked like rainbow-faced humans.

Dunmer...my first choice; they look awesome, and they're nicely balanced

Bosmer are sweet too...I love bows...hmm

[Illiad86]

Bosmer has always been my favourite Fast and stealthy I play Dunmer sometimes too.

[Nitiliak]

my favorite is khajiit, becuase i love stealth

but i'm used to the dark elves of morrowind, so i normally play them if i don't have any modded races
