Race questions in the elder scrolls series

Level VII

Do'vish
What was your first race in TES series? Mine was a khajiit and it was on obvlion. What is your favorite race? Right now, I am stuck between the nord and khajiit. Also, what races have you never played in TES series? I have never played the orc, wood elf, redguard, or argonian. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
 
Nord was my absolute first, but after playing Morrowind, Dunmer became my favorite. In any TES game, I've yet to play as a Bosmer, Breton, Imperial, Khajiit or Argonian. But I am branchnig out way more than I used to. o_O
 
Khajiit was my first, and I've had characters in most of the different races, but my most recent and favorite is Redguard. I've had two Redguard characters, very similar, but the first didn't last long and everything was super easy. First I loved them because of their good stats, but then I discovered the hardcore playstyle and made my current Redguard, and since I roleplay my current character, reading the Redguards' lore has made me love them even more.
 
My first character was an Imperial in Oblivion. Since then I have done in Skyrim a Nord, Wood Elf, and a Breton.
 
My first experience was waking up on a boat with a half-naked Dunmer standing over me saying "Wake up, I think you were dreaming, what's your name?"

As for my first race... God i don't know it's been so long. Though the oldest one I remember was an Argonian archer who I'm sure wasn't my first.
 
My first character was a Dunmer Assassin from oblivion. I favor the Dunmer, but I have branched ouy and have now played as everything except a Redguard and a Argonian.

I have been playing TES since Arena and have played every race almost equally. However, I find the history of certain races more interesting than others. Take the Dunmer for example. The have the more interesting lore to me.
 
Skyrim is my first Elder Scrolls game, and my first RPG. I have now seen the light!

My first ever character was a Redguard, there was no reason except I liked the look of them. He did a bit of everything, magic, archery, sword and shield, two-handed - in other words, he sucked major ass by level 30. Since then I've had everything, but I'm yet to play a wood elf beyond level 15 or so, just something about them I don't like.

My favourite now depends on the way they'd be played, etc, but overall I probably go with Nords or Imperials the most.
 
My first ES game ever was Skyrim and I started with an Imperial. Have since been playing as a Breton/Redguard mix character (she's my most beloved). And playing Oblivion, I've also gone with an Imperial.

Suffices to say that my favorite race in the series is Imperial, by leaps and bounds. Bretons are cool as well and am interested to try playing as a Redguard soon, but Imperials are my absolute favorites. For instance, they have a rich history, very distinct yet cosmopolitan aspects and...I love their parallels with Romans. :P
 
My first ES game was Oblivion, and did I ever love that. I'm almost positive my first character was a Dark Elf, played with it till about level 20 or 25. That is when I figured out how to play the game and started doing research on what were the do's and don't's of the game. (I'm OCD when it comes to this kinda plops)

After playing through many, many, MANY characters in Oblivon, I finally settled on an Redguard assassin-type. Being a Redguard, you start out making up for the very reasons why sneak-type kind of suck (Low health, bad melee combat, stamina etc). I realized how powerful it really was when I did the Arena and how OP Redguard's adrenaline rush is. (Arena <3 where art thou in Skyrim!) I also had a Breton Spellsword that I held dear to my heart, but I quickly found out Sneak + Archery yielded far better results. (My entire time playing Oblivion I barely understood enchanting/soul gems)

I don't really have a favorite race, it really just depends on my playstyle. In Skyrim, I only choose Orc/Breton/High Elf because statistically speaking they are the best and I like what they did to their appearances, especially the Orc. Although I rarely play Redguard characters in Skyrim, they always have a special place in my heart but they would be my main choice if I ever did an Assassin type character again. I made a Nord Assassin in Skyrim and probably could've benefited more from a Redguard but with Sneak being way OP, it gets really boring for me. The races I haven't played are Imperial (Stats/powers suck, I'm gonna be honest), Argonian (Powers are alright but I just hate the look), Khajiit (Hate the look), and the Wood Elf. (Stats/Powers are lame)

I remember playing Oblivion and I couldn't believe how my computer could even play it, it looked SO beautiful and it was one of the funnest games I've ever played, completely sucked me into the RPG genre. Looking at it now, can't believe I put 300+ hours into it (I guess mods helped a lil XD). However, as much as I love Skyrim, I had about 100x more fun with Oblivion the first time around.
 
My first ever was an Argonian in Oblivion. I figured, why be a human when I can be this cool lizard person that can breathe underwater? However, I'd say now my favorite race are the Khajiits, thanks to my main character who is a Khajiit Warrior and the Haarbinger of the Companions. He's just a total badass. The only race I haven't even sampled would be a Redguard. I should really fix that.
 
I remember my first character being an Argonian in Oblivion. He was a sneaky heavy armor warrior-mage... Yeah, the first playthrough thing, I'm sure you understand. My first character in Skyrim was a High Elf, and it's still my favorite race. I love mages, and like mixing magics to almost all my characters. The +50 magicka helps a lot at the start of the game.
 
my first scroll game was .... Skyrim :p and my fav race is dark elf , nords are beatific and sexy but dark elfs are so awesome .
 
My first was a Khajit in Skyrim. He was my hodge podge try everything character. I mostly play as Nords or Bretons. I did get a Red Guard to level 10.
