    Unlike other TES games I like the way Khajiit look in this game so I play them mainly.

    Most of my characters are because I was just sitting around thinking "HEY! It would be fun to play as X and make them a Y! Then I could totally Z!"

    That would actually be C since C is both A and B and A involves looks too.

    A reads like it's RP.... I don't RP. "who they are, and what they make me".

    "I make characters based on appearance.... or aesthetics".

    See the difference?

    Who they are, being both lore and appearance. What they make you, being how you handle being them and how you roleplay if applicable. It's a general reason, not specific.

    So Race Change is on its way after months of anticipation and doubts about its validity have begun to arise in fear it will generate more P2Wness. So I have made this poll to see what the community looks for in their racial choices and if Race Change will be a boon to the Roleplay community or an apocalypse to the PvP community. Feel free to discuss races in any way you wish while you're at it :p



    I love the way High Elf women look, so I choose Altmer in the beginning for my stam DK, did not know back then, that Altmers are mag race. I love the way she looks, but I will definitelly change her to some stam race with barbershop.

    I will miss her, but my stats are more important for me

    I usually chose races that fit the class i intend to play,
    I am no min/maxer but like life easy and for a magicka bld i chose races that i think can do well at it,

    Looks also mean a lot,
    I have to have one argonian at least,
    one khajit and one orc... .lol

    With race change going into the Crown Store we can be certain of one thing:

    RACIAL PASSIVES WILL NEVER BE FIXED NOW.

    also doesn't make a difference, you can't change class. You can roll out a new lvl 50 toon in 5 hours. But this way you get to keep your skillpoints/achievements.

    Whay if you're stam nb? Would sure be nice to swap to high elf and do maelstrom on a mageblade.

    I have a Dunmer and won't change her race for sure. Would still like to see the fire resist passive actually do something again...

    I have a heavy tendency to make all of my characters dunmer because I love the race and they're pretty versatile with the passives, but after the nightblade and DK I finally forced myself to make an altmer Templar.

    I don't like the look as much but I do appreciate the passives :#

    The attributes of the breed influenced my initial morrowind decision of Saxhleel. I am very resistant to illness, like being underwater and give attention to physical athleticism. Since, I have grown to relate even further with the Saxhleel breed.
    If looks were a factor, I would choose Ra Gada and create a smart powerful avatar with long roots hair to reflect me. It's a minor factor and I have created a Ra Gada for entertainment, yet have always left it dormant.
