When choosing your race on Skyrim you should consider what class you want to be later on. Although Skyrim moves away from the class based system of previous Elder Scrolls releases, your race will still put you on the fast track toward specific disciplines. For example, if I want to focus on stealth and rogue-like abilities an Argonian or Kajiit might be good selections. If I wanted to create a burly warrior either an Orc or Redguard would be a good choice.
When deciding what race you will choose when starting Skyrim refer to this chart. By looking at the skill bonuses each race starts with you will be better equipped to begin character creation in the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
KITTEH > ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KITTEH > ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dark elves kick ass against dragons. in retrospect, dragons are pretty easy anyway, but i still like dark elves the best
Check it out! The Prima SKYRIM Official Game Guide is now marked down to $11 BRAND NEW!!! http://amzn.to/s3ZSCg
im getting this for christmas. im wondering which i should be.this is my first elder scrolls game. any feedback will be much appreciated.
My suggestion for someone new to the Elder Scrolls:
Don’t read anything online.
Create whatever kind of character you want.
Make him/her look however you want.
Explore the world on your own without help or suggestions from anyone else.
This way you will truly experience the immersive experience that is the Elder Scrolls without the harmful outside influence of those who will tell you how to play. The best thing about the Elder Scrolls is that there is no right or wrong way to go through the game. You may explore freely!! ENJOY!!!
If you like to archery a wood if u like to cause destruction then a dark elf and if you like to kill anything an Orc and if u wanna be a bit of everything an imperial

thanks!
All of these characters seem cool. It was hard for me to choose at first also, but then I made a Nord who has 100 Smithing, 100 Lockpick, 95 Archery, 100 Two-Handed, 100 Block, and he can now transform into a Werewolf at anytime! (Provided by the Companions storyline) Once you do enough side missions for the Companions they murge your blood with a werewolfs and you can call on the form of the beast anytime you like. So regardless what I chose, I ended up being an unstopable Level 60 Nord/Werewolf!
I think that imperials because magic is good at the beginning and isn’t as good near the end because it runs out the bar and u can’t use it but it has 5+ destruction magic in case u need it
I have an Orc because of the Berserk! YOU BECOME AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE OF DESTRUCTION! Light Dragon Armor and Daedric dagger for sneaking and Daedric sword, and shield if im seen. Some Alteratin for the Paralyze.
Im a newbie to the game, but so far its brill!!!
im a level 81 woodelf and have everything at 100. but for any newbbies i would choose something like argonian or khajiit because you can upgrade every thing else to be as good as anyone but if u are an argonian you can do all of this AND breathe underwater!
Nord best cause its good at one and two handed weapons plus block is great as well. U also get a bonus in destructive magic. With these plus thanks to the favorite option u can use any weapon/shield/magic combo u want. Plus u can kill ice dragons easy with them. Thanks to its blacksmithing skill I get good armorial fast.
if your a magick user Darkelf , if your a warrior Orc, and if your a rouge Kajiit
i was just wondering what about a warrior priest or mage? what would be a good class then
Nord for warrior since they resist frost,
high elves great mages +50 magicka and highborn
archery is weak at begining so if your an archer go wood elf
breton and dunmer also good for resist abilities, i ignore powers since as soon as you unlock dragon shouts you never use it any more. Skills also are fairly useless because you can level them up yourself, orcs have no passive effect thats why i didn’t say them.
Khajiit and Argonian have some interesting guard and enemy dialouge but breathing underwater and claws aren’t that good. Overall i say nord for the above reason and because they get better reactions from most NPCs
dark elves are the best!!!!!!!!!!! mine has a daedric mace fail.
I roll face on my 75 Nord One handed sword and restoration in the other hand heavy armor. =
