markisgreat Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 i have always started out as an elven Mage be it dark\wood (not high elves there butt ugly) and once Rens beauty pack was released pretty much just made mystic elf mages. I seriously hope they introduce more elven races to skyrim they are popular after all (Look at the elf\elven based race mods on tesnexus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSkyrimBlog Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 At some point or another I'll be having a go with EVERY race. Doesn't everyone try every race at least once, or is it just me? :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erloriel Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Dark Elf Conjurer/Archer. But maybe something melee oriented with a bit of magic chucked in (due to it looking super-mega-awesome and being useful as a "high-damage-spike"). Probably though a dark elf, since they just fit in so nicely to the setting. Though of course I'll be pretty torn on the entire thing and once more my save-game file will take up a good chunk of memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criminalskum Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) even though based on how you level up and how skills go up i'd like to try to master as many things as possible. I kinda had this in oblivion i had one master character then a bunch of ther characters with specific types of playing. But specific rp characters can be a lot more fun than a bland master character. Ill also be more willing to try more of the elven races because the character models have been hugely improved appon so i wont feel a lil bit goofy playin as a wood elf with a recedeing hairline.

Tuco404 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It's amazing how imbalanced the races are and yet how the imbalance plays very little in people's decisions. The best races in the game in terms of racial attributes are by far either the Breton or Altmer, but those aren't very popular races to play.

Corakus Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) @ Tuco404 Only for mages, Altmer would be a terrible choice for a warrior.Though a Breton wouldn't be quite as bad, you would still be better off with a Nord for a warrior.Breton is fairly popular, though according to thispoll, Nord seems to be what people will play the most.

jancina25 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I always wondered why are orcs so unpopular in elder scroll games,counting they are core of many fantasy games/worlds. Never understood also why people like Cats walking on 2 legs aka khajit. Oh well everbody has his own taste i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corakus Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) Orcs are so unpopular in TES games because they rarely look like orcs do in other fantasy universes, they're about the same size as Imperials.People would like them better if they didn't look like green elves with fangs.When people unfamiliar with the TES series see the word "Orc" they usually expect something that looks like the Uruk-hai from the LOTR movies.

jancina25 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Or a ork nob/warboss from warhammer 40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jancina25 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) well seeing that skyrim orc screen , we can say it is firmly close to a uruk hai, except for a skin color. Edited June 16, 2011 by jancina25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
