Full Version: Favorite Race
HAHA!!! I knew the Dunmer would prevail!!! Even tho the ashlanders are extremely annoying...they practicaly put themselves on your short sword or long sword or spear or axe or blunt weapon or fist...
I would go with Dunmer... my first *good* character was a dunmer (custom) battlemage.
Bretons are also good though. I made a nice Mage/Theif hybrid. I The magic resistance means you can take a magic enhancing sign (I forget the one...) and get the extra spell points, while having the weakness to magic that the sign gives you cancelled out. At least I hope thats how it worked.

The elf in my name represents wood elf. ELVAN TRUTH!!!!!!!!

There's only one worthy race, lets be honest here.
And a particularly fine specimen,if I do say so myself, looks a little like this

that speciman looks like a cross-dresser
I like Imperials and Dunmer overall for their versatility, but right now I'm RPing as a Nordic Bard named Roggar, who is quite fun.
i say dunmer or imperial im not quite sure....
all the races kick boat but i favor dunmer and the imperials

No race is fun to play in Morrowind except Khajiits.
I will say this, mostly as a Morrowind player. The height problems that I experienced with Wood Elves, not to mention their nearly unanimous 'twerpy' personalities (the ONLY Bosmer I could tolerate was named Aengoth the Jeweler) makes them, hands down, my least favorite race.
Bosmer are Tamriel's version of short-guys with attitude problems. I personally believe that the Morrowind design team, in addition to being Duke fans, based the Wood Elves off of Curley in Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men." There is no other explanation for their annoyance, as well as height impediments.
Almost as bad are the Altmer, who can get wasted with the effort of a God's Fire spell. I once used Trueflame to hunt down every High Elf I could kill that was still alive. None lasted more than a few hits.
As far as the rest, I found that Bretons made for great mage-hunters (especially since my limited experience in Oblivion showed just how imbalanced the stealth and magic aspects were), and Nords and Redguards were good on the warrior front, especially with their resistances. Imperials, Dark Elves, and Argonians were the 'balanced races,' though to be fair Dark Elves did get cooler bonuses and the more useful (for Morrowind, anyways) flame resistace.
But, all in all, I always ended up going Nord or Dark Elf.

Wow, I totally agree about Wood Elves and Curley from Of Mice and Men. Very nice analogy. :clap:
The Children of the Hist are still my favorite race, followed by Khajiits, Dunmer, and Bosmer.
My favorites are Nord and Dunmer. Good, solid, reliable races 
I also like Khajiit but wouldn´t want to play as one.

I know it has been a loooong time since this thread was started but my favorites haven't changed much. Dunmer are still my favorites. Inperials are a close runner up though, being the race that united Tamriel and civilized it.
