A question as I am curious. My main is currently is a redguard stam sorc and if I hadn't been forced to min/max he would have probly been a dunmer, but I have grown attached to him and have since came up with a story about his origins and how a redguard became a part of the dominion. My mag sorc would remain altmer since it fits best with a magika based class but the rest of my female characters I would turn bosmer in an instant.

✭Unchanged also.
My races do fit well with their builds, but even if they didn't, I wouldn't play a race I don't like.7 -
Kalgert✭✭✭✭✭Honestly, the whole "Racials" thing feels irrelevant to me.
I mean sure, there are certain racials that are much more superior than others for certain situations, but frankly.. I just want a race-class combo that fits me and my idea, as opposed to "That's what them guides said".
So if I want my Magic-wielding Nightblade be an Argonian, I darn well will make a Magical Argonian Nightblade.
PvE/PvP nutters might go crazy at such a notion, since "oh em gee Argonians best Healers passives", but I couldn't give a Toshley about that. What's the fun in playing your character if you made him for the sole purpose of min-maxing?7 -

Also, every class would be the same select races if everyone played their characters that way.
I also would be unchanged. Similar to other people's posts, I set my characters up to go along with the archetype of that class in my head. Playing my characters are super rewarding this way, and I don't need a dungeon / trial / calculator to give me that incredible feeling. No mud on those that do need that, I'm just saying, this is how I play my game

✭Like others have said, I choose races that I find interesting or that appeal to me, based on what I have learnt about them in previous years and from research into their lore, their culture and their observed character. If the racial perks don't quite fit with how I want to play them, so be it. I'm much happier playing a race that I have a genuine affinity for than something created or geared towards best stats or whatever. I won't say anything negative or childish to those who do want best stats, it's just not for me, that's all.2 -
otis67✭✭✭I have never and will never consider racial traits. I make what I want when it strikes me.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭Dunmer, the same as they are now.
I don't choose races based on mechanics, I just build something that works with them or ignore it all together.

✭✭✭Unchanged. I'm a Breton, and proud of it. I chose Breton not for the racials, else I would have been an Imperial (as I wanted to be a stamina based character on launch).
Bretons are just cool. Other races stink. Especially Argonians and Orks.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."0 -
