What's wrong with junkies? We're fine kids you know!
Joking. I'd say the Dark Elves, because they're really balanced and very stylish.

Argonian. Poison makes a tasty snack! They walk funny, though...

Argonians all the way! In my opinion, they are the most interesting and mysterious race.

The Nords. Because, well, I hate Dunmer. Think you're better than me, eh?

Bretons, they don't look anything special, but they have good stats with the Absorb Magicka and the large bonus. (1.5x I think)

*prepares slaves for battle*

EDIT: *Kicks Shinobi in the balls* HA HA HA!! Works every time! *runs away*

*Moves to island far far away and buys more slaves and male stripper to keep me company*

EDIT: *Order slaves to polish suit of full ebony armor and repair all ships for battle. Practices long sword with slaves - several die in the process but who cares? They're just slaves! :twisted: mwahahahahahaa! *

EDIT: *Sends out Male stripper as a decoy*

Anyway, I like Dunmer I guess because there are so many of them on Vvardenfell and I just got used to them being around. I like them also because they live so long (though that goes for all elves) and because bosmer are too short and Altmer too tall. Also, I like Dunmer hairsyles better.

And btw, i'm not for slavery in RL, only in Morrowind (just so no one thinks im a racist or someting :lol: )

Meh, not so much when you're dealing with reptiles.

My current character is a black panther (mod by Alienslof; dark-furred non-beast khajiit). Started as a breton until I changed by console, to avoid having to start over. I like the bretons and bosmer because they're pretty good for nightblades, my favourite class.
Imagine my insult to find that "Raw Glass has no effect on you." I became very huffy at the implication that my intelligence could not be lowered further. Then again, I did just eat a piece of glass.

I don't like the Dunmer for a few factors.
First of all, the Ashlands suck. Who wants to run around in a giant dust field all day.
Second, they're stupid. Who would be stupid enough to start worshipping three people who somehow mysteriously attain godhood, even AFTER Azura bitchslaps them for being idiots and turns them gray with red eyes. Morons.
Third, they all moan about how some "great alliance" repelled the Nord invasion. Psh, yeah right. The Nords left because they saw how much the Ashlands sucked and that they would have to live in dead bugs and mushrooms, so they said "fuck this place, let's go back to Skyrim and headbutt bears". Do you see any Dunmer going around headbutting bears? NO! Why? Because there are no bears in Morrowind, duh. But if there were, the bears would totally devour all the Dunmer.
Yeah, and you know why the Dunmer have to enslave the Khajiit and Argonians to do their manual labor? Because Dunmer are pansy emo bitches who couldn't do manual labor to save their lives.
"Oooh, my skin is gray, my eyes are red, I'm so ashamed of myself, but I still worship the three who put me in this spot. I live in fungus and rely on reptiles and felines to do my farming becase I'm too worried about breaking my fragile little bones."

Are you sure? I always assumed the Nords left because they kept loosing their pants to the scheming Dunmer witches...

That's Tribunal propoganda. Real Nords prefer to strut around in the nude. That's why none of the naked Nords want to get their clothes back.

Argonians have no problem strutting about nude either. They're way too cool to care. And if they ever need armor, they rip apart something with their claws and sew it together. Voila, problem solved.

Argh, I hate both beast races and their stupid tailholes. I love Dunmer and Altmer because they are smart enough to not to do all the work themselves and they make cool mages. Oh and I hate Bretons and the Imperials, because they took over Morrowind.

Wimps.
Firstly: The ashlands do suck, i agree but thats why so many dunmers live in cities now. Also, people stay in the ashlands because they like the old ways of living. And they dont just run around in it, its just a way of life. Besides I see few other places to stay on vvardenfell! and they certainly can't leave - not enough money.
Secondly: They worship the tribunal because they are dunmer too and they dont wanna worship some lizard God or whatever, also, the are obviously too stuborn to admit that their religion sucks (yes i agree, it sucks). And they only want their people to lead them. And also, the tribunal used the tools because they wanted to use their powers to create a better world for their people, the dunmer like this, they like to know that their Gods care for them.
Thirdly: Meh, can't argue with the first part, need more knowledge, but they use slaves because they think they are better than everyone else, they arent weak and they certainly arent wimps! Some of the strongest ever people were Dunmer, some of the bravest and some of the generally best people. Like Moraelyn. He was one of the greatest leaders of all time IMO.

heh, so thats my blab bit done!

Definitly Nords. They just rule. They were the first humans to take over Tamriel, fighting against the super-powerful (but really damn arrogant and stupid) Altmers and beat them. Well, the lost their empire again later on. Probably were too drunk. But hell, that's the great thing about them. They are closer to nature, speak their mind and they like to drink and fight. What else do you want? They just make great buddies, right? And I also like where they live. Always hated the heat and warm lands. I like it cold and snowy. So, Skyrim is just the right place for me to live.

What about the other races? Altmer and Dunmer are arrogant bastards who think they are better than anyone. Imperials think they are really smart and honorable, but in fact they are just corrupt and slimy. Bretons aren't much better. Bosmer are stupid tree-inhabitants who make idiotic comments. Argonians and Khajit are somewhat cool, but they should get into some language-school.

The only ones who could really stand up to Nords are Orcs and that is why they are my second-favourite race. They look ugly, but aren't really evil. But the other races, stupid as they are, always persecuted them. Orcs are good fighters and somewhat similar to Nords in their aditude.

And I make an exception for Redguards. They aren't that bad either. Not as good as Orcs and Nords, but better than the others, who are just all abbysmal.

So, Nords, Orcs and Redguards unite! Conquer the others, they deserve it.
