wood elf

i think the wood elf or bosomer are exelent theifs and can pickpocket plus if you use it right you can become a thief and an assasin without getting caught and the beast tounge power is awesome especially in a deatric shrine,you can have the deadra fight for you then kill it

I like Bosmers a lot because they are fairly wimpy for quite a while, yet they don't have the weaknesses of Altmers. Plus, they are great with a bow, and Marksmanship is one of my favourite Morrowind hobbies

I favor Dark Elves and High Elves.Dark Elven use combat and magic together and Altmer are just very good at magic.Dark Elven look nice too,and talk like they were born to be the kings of Morrowind.

Argonians! I haven't played all the races as yet, but I quite like the Argonian specials. Haven't had to worry about poison, or disease. And being able to cast Water Breathing without worrying is very cool.

And they just look cool. Barefooted tanks.

I'm all for Argonians too, mainly because of the immunities and because they remind me of Reptile from MKDA (Coolest. Humanoid. Ever.), not to mention their wickedly callused feet (I doubt many of you will pick up on the joke [it's from another thread] ).

Yeah, argonians rock. The first character I ever played with on Morrowind was an Argonian. If I were any race, I would be an Argonian. They just own.

But after Argonians, I would say Nords. They're the only race I've played besides Argonians, sadly.

She's now wearing a full suit (except boots and helmet) of Silver Ebony Plate Armour. Schweeeeet stuff my friend.

I mentioned it in the "Boots" thread.

Dunmer of course. They're great at everything.

Unless you are a magic user, in which case Bretons or Altmers are the way to go, I don't think it makes any difference which race you choose.
At least as far as being good at things goes anyway. I mean, a tiny little Bosmer can, eventually, be just as skilled with an axe as a big, hulking Nord. Race and 'class' only really effect things at the beginning.

IMO, race choice is more based on personal preference, aesthetics and role playing than anything else.

Reguard considering to me they're the best when making a Fighter, I was Fighter Guild Master by level 8, they excel in combat I did however try a Nord/Orc first but they didn't compare to a Reguard; I have a Kajitt for a Assassin don't play him though, and a Dark Elf for a Battle-Mage.

Maxwel.Demon · Post by **Maxwel.Demon** » Wed Feb 15, 2006 11:58 am

To me, it depends on how I'm playing the game. If I'm going stealth, Khajit. If magic, altmer, and if combat, redguard. Howeverm since the only time I -ever- went full combat oriented was the first time I played the game, redguard's not that high on my list.

Aesthetically, khajit's look cooler in my opinion. So I guess I'm going with them.

(I've never played a Dunmer, which I'll probably get beaten for.)

Raven_Song · Post by **Raven_Song** » Wed Feb 15, 2006 3:59 pm

I voted Breton as that's the race I'm probably closest too in terms of physical build/appearance and cultural interests.

Sparrow · Post by **Sparrow** » Wed Feb 15, 2006 4:56 pm

I play a Nord, because I play fighter characters in my RPGs. I like wizards and thieves, but prefer to use them as companion characters. Also, I pick Nords because I am somewhat Nordic myself, being a lighter haired Scot Irish type, who is sometimes into physical training.

Tool · Post by **Tool** » Wed Feb 15, 2006 11:32 pm

I went with the Argonian for my character because he is a lizard man. You can't beat that. And I have no complaints, nor do I wish I would have picked anyone else. If I were to pick another character though, I might go with the Nord, although the manual has a picture of a woman with the Nord bio. Can there be a male Nord? just wondering

Bloodstalker · Post by **Bloodstalker** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 5:04 am

I usually play Nord. It just fits my style, and I like the frost immunity.

And yes Tool, you can play as either a male or female of any race in the game.

Just be aware that there're slight shifts in the begining stats for male and female of each race.

Dark Elves. The wide range of skill bonuses, plus the powers and resist fire abilities...what's not to love?
And they look cool.
