Choosing race!

Hey! I'm courious if and how important race is. Especially with non-standard class-race choices.
So my questions are:
Are racial skills important? Especially in PVP?
Is the Altmer race fine for sorc and nightblade?
Is the Orismer race fine for sorc and nightblade?

    I'm a complete noob but from what I've read, most raves are fine for most classes and roles.

    Is altmer the high elf? If so, don't they get more magicka regen and magicka damage? I made my sorc a high elf, with nightblade I went khajiit for the weapon crit.

    I'll be interested to see the replies and how you get on because the above is basically the blind leading the blind =)

    Sorry I can't be more use

    Hi,

    RACE is not important,

    You can use any race for any class however there are a few Race/Class matches that just work the best,

    Altmer/Breton - Mages
    Khajit/Woodelf - NB
    Dunmer - DK
    Breton/Altmer - Templar

    It all depends on your playstyle and build,
    If you build a magicka build you look for the race with the best magicka passives,
    same with Stamina builds.

    all depends on you.

    I have a Khajiit magicka Templar, with medium-heavy armour and DW/shield.

    Believe me it works :)
    As Altmer could have been better, but not that much.

    If you're going to heal, Breton. If you're magicka based DPS, Altmer. For everything else, Imperial. No I didn't read past the title, but unfortunately I don't need to. The races in this game are very unbalanced.

    Unless you're a min-maxer, any race can play any class and any build.
    Though obviously "elite" PvP/Dungeon/Trial guilds won't agree :P
    I'm a man of few words. Any questions?

    Only for sneaking. For damage and tanking Imperial is easy mode. Khajiit gets a little bit of melee crit, but nothing that helps with bows. Bosmer gets a pitiful 3% stamina. Imperial gets 12% health, 10% stamina and melee hits have a heal proc. That said, my nightblade is a Bosmer because I'm going vampire and will need to sneak a lot to feed, and also because I'm a kleptomaniac. Just depends on whether you value DPS and survivability or stealthyness more.

    If you're going to do stamina based anything, redguard is the best.
    Me: It's[WB spamming DK] a really cheesy build
    Guildy: I like cheese with my wine, and WB creates some really good wine.
