Which Race Will You Play in Skyrim?

Charles Onyett writes:Have you decided which race to play in Skyrim yet? Picking the right character is a big decision, as you could theoretically spend over 100 hours in Skyrim, and that's a long time to spend nursing any lingering regrets. Good thing, then, that user Sammuthegreat posted a racial bonus and skill list on The Elder Scrolls forums.

I chose a Dark Elf in Oblivion.

I'm leaning toward Khajit in this.

theonlylolking4970d ago

I will probably be a nord. I wish bethesda had it where sayains crashed and you could choose them as a race.

Can I make a black nord in skyrim?

I like the nord, but I want my character to be black or else I'll have to settle for redguard... ;)

SITH4969d ago (Edited 4969d ago )

@Outside Yes you can make a black Nord. I have intention to do so also. Skin tone is an adjustable feature.

TheGameFoxJTV4969d ago

INB4 that's one of the first mods created.

omi25p4970d ago (Edited 4970d ago )

Nord in Oblivion.
Nord in Skyrim

BigBoss074970d ago

Nord Warrior first playthrough just to show them dragons whose da boss. Then, second playthrough will be dark elf or imperial assassin.

JsonHenry4970d ago

I've been playing Nords since TES: Arena. :)

If I do a second char I always pick the Khajit or Argonians.

hardandsloppy4970d ago

I'm always a nord. I know I'm plain

Delicious Malicious4970d ago

NORD! Blonde Hair Blue Eyes MASTER RACE!

SuperK4970d ago

Retarded comment. (sighs)

Outside_ofthe_Box4970d ago

I take offense to that.

My ancestors died in something known as the holocaust thanks to idiotic ideologies like that.

Jaybronee4970d ago

I'm Jewish and think your post is funny as hell. People need to chill out and quit being so sensitive!

SITH4970d ago

Everyone on this planet has African under their skin. Argue with the origin of humans.

Female Wood Elf.....Thief: Lockpick, Marksman and Stealth = Win :)

Fishy Fingers4970d ago

Never played more than 10 minutes of an Elder Scrolls game. So havent got a clue.

InNomeDiDio4970d ago

No one here needs to know this.

Laika4970d ago

why not? if he is being honest and plans on playing skyrim i dont see the problem.

Sidewinder-4970d ago

way to be a jack-ass, jack.

Fishy Fingers4970d ago (Edited 4970d ago )

Skyrim will be my first Elder Scrolls game, I'm actually excited about it. But know very little about races etc

What the f*** is wrong with that?

omi25p4970d ago

I dont know what country you live in but you can buy Oblivion 5th annviersary for cheap and it has all the DLC. Its also a very good game

Fishy Fingers4970d ago

UK.

Oh I know, I've seen quite a bit of Oblivion (mates house or whatever), I'm not a big RPG player and Skyrim is the first Scrolls game to really interested me. I'm really looking forward to sinking some time (a LOT) into such a rich single player world, rather than just multiplayer which fills up most of my gaming time.

Hellsvacancy4970d ago

Skyrim will be my 1st Elder Scrolls game aswel FF, better late then never ay?

Virus2014970d ago

I'm on the same boat as Fishy Fingers (lol!). I'm definitely buying this game day 1 so I am here to read the comments and get some ideas on which race to choose.

SITH4969d ago (Edited 4969d ago )

You noobs to the IP need to go put in notice at your place if employment that you will not make it into work on 11/14/11 Monday. And if you can quit your jobs do it. Joking of course. Notify your teachers if you are still in school that you are going through a rough personal time and your grades may slip. Let your GF know the truth, if you are married you are screwed already so carry on. If you have kids, don't neglect them. This game is going to be time consuming and addictive. Your ability to resist it may be compromised as you progress. Welcome to the series and good luck, you are coming to the series at a time when elder fans have long anticipated the return of dragons. Good times are a coming for all!

Virus2014969d ago

@SITH That was awesome. Thanks

SasquatchXD4969d ago

@sith. Beautifully said. Carry on.

AliTheBrit4204970d ago

I like the idea of having a character, possibly breton, who everybody loves, seems in every other way a GOOD character but who every now and then has to methodically plan, and execute murders on random good NPC's who have annoyed me in some petty way

:)

but ultimately I'll play every race as I play through the game multiple times.

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

Christopher19d ago

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

anast17d ago

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

jznrpg18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic17d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee18d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator17d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast17d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.
