Interesting discussion: How do you decide your characters race?
-Race that has the best advantage for a certain build (e.g. Bosmer or a Khajiit STAM NB, Altmer MAG SORC, Dunmer MAG DK)
-Interest in the lore of a certain race
-Other?
Most of my characters are Nords, since I am very interested in their lore, I love the scenery of Skyrim, I am from a Nordic country and I am interested in real-life Nordic culture in general. I really don't mind being slightly weaker than someone with a race with an advantage over mine.
