Skyrim: Which Race Matches Your Play Style?

There are 10 different Races in Skyrim. All have appeared in past Elder Scrolls games in the other regions of Tamriel. Each race has unique abilities and stats that make them better suited to different play styles.

[Blackdeath_663]

Breton is best class, strong mage and a handy thief. also looks good.

[MariaHelFutura]

High Elf. Straight magic. Ive swung a sword like 4 times.

[TopDudeMan]

I went with the wood elf. I don't know if it was the right decision... He's good with a bow but I thought I'd get to choose some specialist skills like in oblivion. I'm sticking with it, though.

[TheGameFoxJTV]

RedGuard for me.

[consolez_FTW]

its awesome how I can be a master at heavy armor and 2 handed weapons then go on to sneak like a ninja and pickpocket anything from under anyones nose.

[JsonHenry]

I'm doing the same thing, only as a Nord. (and I am specializing in sword and shield.

[BitbyDeath]

Orc for me. I like clobbering things.

[Acquiescence]

plus he looked the most normal/least retarded out of the lot. Everyone else either had a vacant cross-eyed expression on their face, a terrible complexion or whiskers...and I sure as hell ain't playing as someone who's got whiskers. No one would take me seriously. I want to embark on epic quests; not curl up on my masters lap and play around with balls of yarn.

[ShoryukenII]

Imperials and Red Guard looked normal to me. You should've looked at the preset faces. The first face for some races doesn't look as good as the others.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Argonian here. Its a fantasy game and I had no interest in playing as a human.

[josephayal]

dumber (Dark-w) is the best IMO

[ginsunuva]

Kahjiit here.

[rizzo-rizzo]

I like the Khajiits.. I find them most interesting NPC's.

Can't wait for The Elder Scrolls: Elsewyre.

I guarantee it'll be bigger than Skyrim.
