      Unchanged. Min/maxing holds about the same level of interest for me as getting an all-over body rub with a cheese-grater from a particularly odiferous Orc.

      I ignore build guides and come up with my own builds. I pay to respec. I play Dunmer because role playing. I have one Breten because role playing. I am sick of builds and build minded attitudes but if that is what makes others happy in a game then I wish them the best. I can see competition pushing elitists and pvp'ers. To me no build is ever going to replace a fast computer and quick reaction/judgement.

      Racial passives generally never play a part in character creation for me. My main would stay an Argonian NB regardless and I've never felt hindered by it. The only way I might consider them is if I had a concept for an alt, but I was having trouble deciding between two races. Then maybe I would keep passives in thought to help if no other aspect would make one race more interesting over another.

      This is a really good question. My stam sorc would likely have been a khajiit instead of a Redguard, though nowadays I am a big fan of the sons and daughters of Yokuda. My altmer magsorc would still be the same, and so would my argonian magplar.

      I don't min/max, and probably never will, so I don't really take the passives into account when choosing a race.

      When they said high elf I completely misinterpreted it.
      I'd not be an Altmer again.
      That one; I am preferring his tail, fine mane and lapsing into solo RP
      Those ones; are my new Dunmer friends.

      But yes I would not change any of my character's race too. I made them that race because I wanted to not because some guide told me to!

      same as - redguard - there was a UK tv series in the 80's of robin hood, and they had a two handed scimitar wielding Saracen who was just the dogs dangling bits, when I was 14 and at the height of my pen and paper rpg'ing

      so that type of character has followed through all the type of games that would allow for it
