I think that impirial is the best because they are strong and better for fighting.

WTF? Say that in english

Brettonians rule! bleh.gif

It is in english, it is a modded race made by a dude on this forum.

Dahrjiin are cool but not a true Morrowind race.


My vote goes to the Argonians. They don't get the credit they deserve.

Dark elf all the way. Greatest fantasy-race ever invented in my opinion.

I agree, because: 1.) if youre playing any class, the boost in magicka aids you like you wouldnt believe, 2.) The resistance to it gets me through some of those more difficult junctures, like against illusionists. If you play a breton fighter-type, then youre wasting it, however.

Dark elves, they're just so... perfect. Dahrjiin look great, but they don't fit in Morrowind lore...

Err, what? They don't have that, unless you're playing a mod.
Bloodrez
laugh.gif they do have that, its called mara's gift....

I often play as a Nord and I have never had such a thing. It has to be a mod! Unless it comes with one of the Birthsigns - I don't know all of them that well - but it sounds unlikely.

Well if what you say is right, any race can have the ritual as a birthsign and that means your first post (quoted) is - er - wrong!
eviljim
Dark Elves are the coolest. They just have this mysterious something about them. High Elves would be my second because of the way they carry themself, very superior-ish looking.

I based my decision on appearance since, with enough training, all characters eventually can end up 'statistically' the same.
DarkMaven
Brettons have like a 50 percent resist magic and fortify magic as well. The best to be hands down if your going to be a mage. Dark elves are pretty bad ass but not much mana wise, they give you a good destruction level to start, but destruction costs alot of magic. Basically you turn out to be a warrior who can cast a couple of strong spells, a couple a best.
I think Bethesda could've put more thought into how the charters evolved, I mean you become a Nord because of the strength and ability to use heavy armor, or a Bretton to use powerful spells. They said they made it this way as not to give a quote "unfair advantage" to any one race. But this is why you become a Bretton, or a Orc, to have an unfair advantage, no matter how hard you work a wood elf could never become as strong as a Orc, but just set a few strength based attribute skills and your well on your way. That sucks! I don't care how much you train there's now way a female Wood elf can become that strong, or should be allowed to. Thats like saying anyone who trains hard enough can be a proffesional body builder, wrong! Wood elfs arent strong and Nords ard too dumb to cast powerful spells, thats just the way it is, or at least it should be.

I loved to raising a WoodElf through the morag tong as an arture, jump all the time to get big acrobatics/Stealth kill!
Malchik
According to your sig, Ninjasalad, you feed your foes to death. You clog their arturies perhaps?

I must confess you had me pondering on what an arture was for a while. Then I clicked - Archer!

I like the High elves the best. I dont know why, But I like being taller than almost everyone in morrowind. Helps the ego... biggrin.gif

My favorite Morrowind race is uh...Wood Elf... happy.gif

My favorite Modded race is uhmm...Actually I don't know, they all mess up, some textures things but sorry...lil off topic poster_oops.gif
Melu2
High Elves! Why? Because I hate looking up to other people! Otherwise they pretty much s...!
And the Accula Elf! Yeah!!!!
Chunky_Moose
*ahem*

ARGONIANS!!!!!

But that's just my opinion

breton , magic bonus magic resitance ,

I say the Dark Elf is the best it is good in combat and has other good qualities.
FrostRose
Moogles! Or at least my *Ahem* balanced moogles.
You can get the mod on the Machall.com webcomic site. it's called MogMod. Although you'll probably have to do some major changes to their abilities.

They have a really nasty jump ability and a bit too much slowfall. Sure, they have wings, but sheesh.
So i changed the stats completely and balanced them so that the jump is only a little higher than any other (taller) character would be able to reach, and the slowfall is set to something really low. ^.^
No problem, even if you're a newbie at using the editor happy.gif

They look awesome! (to those of you who actually know what a moogle is, these aren't MOOGLES per se, but more a sort of humanoid moogle. Think of them as what kajiits are to cats)
Just. Check it out. It's SO worth it. Great race =D
And you have no idea how cool it looks with a guy who's four heads shorter than the shortest playable race in game, wielding a bigass longsword. >=)

And there's a night elf mod that has real world of warcraft-style night elves, which i also have.... They make great archers. ^^

Can never get enough good race mods! tongue.gif
Madcap_Magician
Hey everyone.

Anyway, I don't really have a favorite race, I play different ones depending on my mood. My current characters are all Imperials, which fits well with my newfound playing style of Long Sword/Light Armor/Marksman/Alteration/Destruction, but that's just me. It really changes a lot, and like was said earlier, you could really pick on looks, because they can all turn out to be the same.

That said, I can't play Wood Elf anymore. Their voices annoy me and being shorter than everyone is not good for your self-esteem!

i love moogles too x)

i'm using a high elf now. the weaknesses kinda suck, but i love starting with 300 magicka x)
the weakness does make the game a little more challenging, what with cliff racers throwing fireballs at me...and i only have 35 health...

i really don't have a favourite race though. i haven't tried the dahrjiin yet, but from the pics, they look pretty cool. i'll probably try them when i'm bored playing with my mage

But the problem is the same, in every Computer RPG.
All they are Combat-based game, and the same is for Morrowind! (DON'T SAY "NO"!).
So you like high elf and breton for their magic ability?
And what will you do when you're struck by an orde of skeleton or something like that? Will use your Elemental Burst killing yourself? Or one of the (useless) damaging spell "at touch"? tongue.gif
Why don't you like to kill 'em all using your adrenaline rush ( smile.gif ) an your B.F.S.
(Big F**king Sword!)?
My first Char was an Orc Warrior (now i'm lev. 41), the second a breton warrior-enchanter (probably a failure sad.gif ), then i tried the Powerful Reguard warrior (a true satisfaction). At the end, i used a Kajiit monk (it is the only race with a better starting Hand to Hand skill), but it's very hard to carry on.

Note: i wrote warrior, enchanter ecc... but i use ALWAYS the adventurer, cause i like to custom mi skills.

for the most part, i try to face of against baddies one on one. even two at a time can be rough unless i can hover over them. i suppose a breton would be better in that regard - cast greater resist * first, then cast the corresponding wide area destruction spell.

question - can you absorb your own spell effects? i'm using the sign of the atronauch (spell absorption 50). perhaps with another boost to absorption i'd be able to absorb it rather than resist it (i never bothered to try yet).

i'm using an orc now, custom fighter class. i carry around mazte and sujamma for battles x)
and thanks to mw complete, i'll be a smith too
t2k2004
Mine would have to be Red Guard:

Custom class:

Strength
Intelligence

Longsword
Armorer
Acrobatics
SPeechcraft
mercantile

Blunt weapon
Axe
Spear
w/e
w/e

with this you will be very good with speech craft and an excellent fighter. Speed and such will rise all the same except you will be starting with less, although this depeneds on how u raise ur skills and at what rate( i suggest focusing on one at a time... to avoid wasting skill levels.....to maximize high level stats)

Oh yeah... ADRENILAINE RUSH cool.gif

and high elf can be incennertaed quite easily it is in your best intrest to have fire proof clothing ... but the high elf are excellent at magic.

wood elf make great theiefs as do dark elfs but wood elf are much better.

Argonians and katjya's(w/e!!) do suck as fighters and and warriors(same crap)
and why you ask? they cant wear boots or helmets two very importanat parts of armour. Head shots are very lethal and leg shots can knock you down and then they can deliever the final blow.

Breton's ???? never tried em shiftyph34r.gif

also about personality( off topic) its good to get a high rank in the tribunal temple(vivic) becuase you can taunt the special high ordinator in mournehold to fight you... and you can wear his armour becuase you are high rank, its also very powerful and has a constant effect enchant smile.gif (on both the weapon and the armour)

also you can get instant high rank at the temple in vivic by haveing:
1 90 + level rating
2 35 + level ratings

abilities allowed:

blunt weapon
alchemy
unarmoured

quick way to get that sweet ass armour smile.gif ( oh yes you will be the leader of the temple smile.gif )

ARGONIANS rule!
They're so cool!
Like me! tongue.gif
VG_King
Nords are my personally favorite. Along with redguards (which are my second favorite class), they are the strongest race and have excellent resistances and abilities. Dark Elves do look awesome but statistically, I do not like them as much.
Silvuru Agnost
I just love the Orcs and I don't know why. But I also have a special connection to the Bosmers.
Morrowind_Master
I like kajiits, because they are funny. smile.gif

But I am a Nord, because they are the best race.
Volcanic
Nords are my 'current' favorite. Mainly because of their attacking strength skill. I have bought the best axe so far (checked 17 people, 3 shops, nothing better), and have gone through many places with it. tongue.gif Very strong character.
Eiade
The best axes in the game are ones that you cannot buy.
tyjet3
I've always loved the Mage characters and I think the Breton is the best one for Mages.
Abramul
Argonians are nice, Poison Immunity...of course, I've started getting a lot of poisoned weapons...Redguards make excellent Warriors, especially for you long blade fans.
t2k2004
MMMMMMMMM.....Longblades (drools) As I said before RedGuards are my favorite race, maybe the Dremora project will change that, and the results should be intresting
VG_King
Sorry everyone. After thinking for a while I realize that I do like Dark Elves the best. They are indeed the coolest type of character I have ever seen... Since WOOKIES!
