Title is self explanatory . I start :) Breton 10/10 : - Best passiv ability by far . ( 25% magic resist which allow them to cap it ( the cap limit is 85% ) without using any enchants ) . - One of the best activ ability ( With atronach perk or stone you can literally absorb 100% since it is uncapped , "only 80% if perk+activ ) - Good looking ( i prefer the human races overall ) - Small so smaller hitbox :pirate: Orc 9/10 : - They have no passiv ability but they have the most broken ability ingame : Berseker Rage . - You are green . Well now ratings drops hard : Dunmer 7/10 : -Pretty much useless ( well not at the start ) activ ability but fire resist pretty much counterbalance vampirism which makes them the second best vampire race after Breton . Khajiit 5/10 : -They are the only choice trully viable if you want to fight with your first alone . Argonian 4/10 : - Cuz you are a lizard you have one point . 3 points for the activ which is pretty stronk. Nords 4/10 : -Resist to frost is somewhat cool but thing is you will overcap it if you are vampire . But well you will cap it without any enchants . and if you are not a vampire it is actually pretty nice . Well now ratings drops very hard : Altmer 1/10 : - Im sorry to say that but magicka is useless in skyrim because you will make enchants that totally anihilate the cost . Well i suppose you can use less enchanted stuff and use a bit of your magicka if you use altmers ... so yeah i give you two points minus one cuz of the looks . Imperial 1/10 : - Because you play with literally no bonuses . Which is cool if you want more "challenge" ( well skyrim isnt hard unless you use some mods that multiply dificulty to make it like good old oblivion with his x36 difficulty ) . Bosmer 0/10 : - Ugly , useless pasiv , close to useless activ ( tought fun ) . Redguard 0/10 : -Ho comon give stamina bonuses to black peoples is a so big stereotype , to bad a venison stew makes you able to chain power attack or else the activ could have been maybe usefull . Now for the stones : Lord 10/10 : Yep this is the best by far . Not for the armor that you can cap pretty early but for the magic resist : you are a breton ( or a doublebreton haha ) . Atronach 9/10 : Only the absorbtion is revelant since magicka is useless . Thing is for some reasons magic resist > ABsorbtion . UNLESS you play with a shield and dat 70 % magic resist on it + the gift of mara for capping . Steed stone 7/10 : SO DAMN USEFULL . All training stones : 5/10 yep usefull . Lady 2/10 : only one worth mentioning now for the little passiv . All the activ stones : 0/10 . All of their power isnt unique and can be done early with other spells/items . - -67698696/10 For the apprentice : Haha nice joke well if you are a breton and you want to troll with your 100% absorbtion it is usable but you will gain nothing from it anyway since magicka is useless .
