Hello people and fellow bloggers. I am new to this site and want to see what kind of people are on here.So I want to create a bit of a discussion.
Here is my question: What is your favorite race in Skyrim?
Now you can bend the rules a bit. If say you have read about the Dwemer a lot and really wish they were in Skyrim then of course you can say that they are your favourite race.
My favourite race are the Khajiit. They are really fun to play as and all around just really cool. Reasons though why they are my favourite are their history and who they are as a culture. The Khajiit believe in the moon will dictate who you become as a adult Khajiit. The moon also represent what kind of Khajiit you are. There are I believe 3 types of Khajiit. The first which are mainly used as guards are the four legged Sabre tooth cat like Khajiit. The other is your typical house cat. Lastly, the common one you can play as. They also are very to them selves kind of people because one they have been labeled beast race and many Dunmer have enslaved them along side with the Argonians. (As seen in Elder Scrolls Morrowind). The Khajiit also are a very all round character. Yes I know they are mainly a stealth like character. Though you can see this all around Skyrim. There is a Khajiit in the college of Winterhold and is one of the more advanced mages. There are many many Warrior Khajiit wielding swords, Battle axes, bows, etc, and great thieves.
I can't wait to hear some of your stories of your favourite race.
My favorite race depends what kind of character I'm going to play.
Werewolves- I like Bosmer due to the contrast between the tiny human form to the hulking beast form, and the change between being a skilled archer, to a melee terror.
Vampires- I like Imperials or Altmer due to their views of superiority/ noble feel that they present.
Thieves- I prefer Bretons for this. You can make sly looking Breton characters that can blend into society well, and double as an infiltrator. Breton lore also suggests that they have made great spies, which ties in with all o the sneaking.
Warriors- I enjoy Nords and Orcs. They both have a rough around the edges feel to them with an intimidating stature.
One-handed skilled sellswords- Redguards and Dunmer sort of have an outcast feel to them for me. They fit the feel of a sellsword that is just in Skyrim to make money.
Moh, I can't hear you over the power and greatness of the only nation to hold back Merhunes Dagon's forces during the Oblivion Crisis. What's that, I can also hear the voices of those that have scales, and claws and are like super rad. Oh and they can heal faster then a Redguard can hurt them.
But Redguards are pretty great too, certainly in my top 10 Races of Skyrim list.
