I've never not been an imperial, because imperials always get the better deal, and I did a lot of City work in ES 3.

The fact that they have a bonus to mercantile and speechcraft make it all the better to get items early on.

I think its pointless to actually choose race... but I do prefer nords cause they're invulnerable against cold, which is not a VERY strong hability, and they are rather good melee fighters at the beggining of the game.

Umm, +5 or 10 to mercantile and speechcraft are good abilities mate. Half the game is dealing with people in some manner of trade or quest giving, so you WANT that.

Imperial's are, in fact, one of the best races in the game for a mixed fighter/diplomat. And Diplomacy is important in this game.

Darkelves, they are perfect for the jack of all trades that I play.

I voted Wood Elves, I always play sneaky characters and WE's have nice stealth bonuses.

Dark elves. Well rounded and cool. I don't always play as one, but definately my favourite (in Morrowind atleast).

I've tryed Breton, Wood Elf, Dark Elf and Imperial. Haven't delved into the others yet. It's hard to pick a favorite because they are all so completly different builds. I play all of them depending on how I feel like playing.

So far, I am leaning toward the Wood Elf thief, but really like the Dark Elf assassin, Breton Mage and Imperial Fighter alot too. They are all between level 13 and 18 so far, each one concentrating on one of the Guild quest lines before getting into the main quest. I might be done by summer at this rate.

although most people dislike them i like khajits.
with khajits i find it easy to start the game off because of their acrobatics. i just jump up somewhere and i'm safe. Towards the end of the game it doesn't matter too too much as long as you've progressed well.
Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight?Why am I trying to see, when there aint nothing in sight? Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try? Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die?

Argonians Rule

I love argonians because they can breath underwater and are imune to poison they seem to be able to run faster than the other races. But the main reason that I like them is that they all look so different from all of the others

I'm usally a Red Guard because I make my guy look cool, but the best by far is Khajiit. They are the craziest and most badass. Plus Mi'aq is a khajiit. nuff said
