I float between Nord and one of the beast races but have also been a dark wood and woods wild in my 12 years of Skyrimming. What’s your fave and why?
Obviously I’m always a stealth archer too.
Khajiit. Every time.
Two hander berserker? Khajiit.
Bare claws brawler? Khajiit.
Stealth archer? Pssh, khajiit.
Mage? Alteration? Destruction? Any mage at all? Obviously Ko’vari the khajiit :)
Khajiit each and every time. I don’t know why. I just got a steam deck and started Skyrim after not playing a while and tried to select something else, but Khajiit was the only thing that seemed right.
I got tired of the stealth archer, so I am trying a mage. It’s pretty fun. Hard, but fun.
I wish there was a better way to navigate the menus. Being a mage is SO time consuming honestly. As much as I try to give alteration a stronger shot, I almost always end up going full destro because the time it takes to buff up and attack vs just going nuts is kind of annoying.
there is/was a mod called smart cast (its not updated for SE last i checked but you can make it work for se yourself) to auto cast based on a wide range of prerequisites like entering combat, health, stamina, magika meter %, on sneak etc. Makes all the buffs and what not no hassle.
I’d love to mod mine out to hell. When I had a PC I had a running list of like 200 or so. Now I play on ps4 and Sony does not play kindly with mods. :(
Have tried mage before but because of the lack of armour I get destroyed far too quickly by random bandits and lose interest.
I have a very hard time not going Breton. They’re a jack of all trades and their magic resist is hard not to pick.
It also doesn’t hurt that a lot of the other racials are pretty useless and most of the rest are easily replaceable. Kajit claw damage is a notable exception for unarmed playthroughs (though that also is pretty niche), and there’s just… something about playing a Nord in Skyrim.
Ive played all but breton and redguard. Anymore I play as a nord or altmer. Nord cause it’s skyrim, ya know, and Altmer cause tall elf girls I guess
I go argonian. Waterbreathing + Histskin means that in I can hide underwater and heal or just escape using the waterways
High elf. Any other race is just wrong, natch. Smart, powerful, and damn good looking.
Dark Elf is usually my go to because they are naturally 50% fire proof
I usually play as a Nord, I’m not sure why, but I’m always gravitated towards playing them
I seem to gravitate towards Breton, Bosmer, and Imperial. Did a Stormcloak run as a Nord that used restoration to fight off undead and sided with Dawnguard. I like to roleplay my characters so depends on back story too.
I’m usually a Breton for the magic resistance. A Nord playthrough is also good fun.
My last character was an orc and I try to play a different race each playthrough. My favorite would be either khajit or agonian tho, I just like them more than the others.
