Xouthpaw Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Either Khajiit because they are weird.. Though Argonian FTW! or Redguard because they don't seem like anything special to me. Just avarage like an Imperial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karasuman Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'll most likely never play an Argonian or Khajit (even though they are probably my favorite NPC's.) Honestly, I only really play Bretons, primarily for two reasons: 1. their magical affinities, and 2. because I'm vain, and so are they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrometheusV Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Well i used to play Redguards and Khajiit, but then i..... figured out that Skyrim doesnt care about unarmed combat anymore. So no Desert Karate, and the Khajiit "Power": Have deadly claws.... is doomed in the very first time you attack an imperial, miouw miouw deadly claws scratch fffffffch....ok, i get the waraxe :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyuubiNoYouko Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Kahjiit, Argonian, and without sounding racist...Redguard. I just dont like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodfellowGoodspring Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Im finding it hard to play with anything apart from a Nord, Skyrim seems so dominated with them you just look out of place, at least in Oblivion there was a larger variety so i was happy going anywhere. I don't particularity like the beast or Elven models either and i like to look good. & Why has Skyrim gone back to the Morrowind naming lore, i liked simple race names like dark elf and high elf now i have to learn all the names from when the game was created :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfarinIcebreaker Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) I can't play monster races - Argonians and Khajiits. I just can't play a character with tail in Skyrim, even though I fondly remember my Argonian from Morrowind who was a spear master. I rarely play Orcs because of their tusks and greenish looks. Imperials are too generic for me; I'm also not a fan of their Rome based culture. From other human races, Nords are by far the coolest IMO. Redguards are fine too, and Bretons as well since I really like their initial bonuses (IMO the strongest race). Regarding the elves, Wood elves are probably the least favorite. I hated their height in last two games and their annoying personalities. Altmer are also annoying with their arrogance but their skill bonuses and powers make a perfect mage so I tend to play them often. Dark Elves are fantastic, the lore, looks, skill bonuses all remind me of Drow of FR, they are really an appealing race to play as they tend to create very charismatic characters. I chose Nord as my main quest character, because I really can't picture anyone else being a Dovakhiin.

whiteshaix Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I like most of the races as NPCs, but for some reason I always end up playing Nords, 'cause I think they're the cooler. That's one of the reasons why I really like the game. I'd never, never play an Argonian because I just can't empathize with a lizard. I totally like the Khajiit, but I'd feel weird playing one of them with a cat in my lap. ^^; (Paws off the keyboard, Ronnie!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickFak Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Argonians, cuz they're not beast enough, they're just humans with lizard head. It just looks stupid and pisses me off, I dunno... If they would actually make them different, if their bodies/posture/movements would be different, then... Same with Khajiit, though they're so cute in Skyrim with their voices and faces, that I'm a bit more forgiving towards them. Second place takes the Orc. They're much much better done in Skyrim, but the damage was already done in Oblivion. My mind will never recover from the nightmare that Oblivion Orcs were... Third place Altmer. There's just something annoying about them. Too tall, too yellow, too ugly... too much too's... Though they do inspire some respect this time around, while they only inspired contempt in Oblivion. That said I never played as Argonian, Khajiit, Altmer, Orc and Nord... Huh... Is that weird, that I never played as Nord? I sure don't seem to have anything against them. I guess they're kinda left as second option every time I start anew. On the contrary to many people I don't think that playing Nord is fitting in Skyrim if only for one sole reason of there being too much Nords all around. I dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
