Back in 1994, when the gaming industry was not yet highly developed, the first part of the Elder Scrolls series, called the Arena, entered the world. This role-playing game did not become a standard or an example to follow, but it turned out to be a very solid project, which entailed a continuation. In 1996, a sequel called "Daggerfall" was released, which embellished the original version of the game, made it more modern. But that all changed in 2002, when the developers submitted to the gamers' court the third part, called Morrowind. This game has already become a masterpiece that everyone will remember for a long time. Incredible RPG with a wide selection of races, skills, with huge capabilities and freedom of action. Morrowind was so successful that several additions were released to it, and in 2006 they developed success by launching the fourth part of the series - Oblivion. There was not even a speech about failure - the developer got another masterpiece, to which several updates were also released. Well, in 2011, Skyrim was released, which at the moment is one of the best representatives of role-playing games. It has absolutely everything, many aspects are captivating and amazing, but special attention should be paid to the races. Skyrim has as many as nine, and when creating a character you will have to choose one of them.
Progress races in the series
It is worth noting that initially the races did not play such an important role. Even in Morrowind, they were only one of the components of your character, along with inclinations and even the zodiac sign. All this in aggregate and influenced what characteristics the character will possess. Therefore, the choice of race was not so important. Skyrim in this regard is slightly simplified, since absolutely all side parameters were removed from the game when creating the character. There is no longer a zodiac sign, now absolutely everything determines racial affiliation, so its choice will be key. So everyone who wants to play this wonderful game should study more carefully what the races of Skyrim are.
People
Like in the previous games of the series, there are not only people in Skyrim, but also other types of creatures that can be played, but most still prefer to choose what looks more close and realistic. Consider the human race. Skyrim offers a choice of four: Imperials, Nords, Bretons and Redguards. Imperials are most suitable for those who do not like to fight, but they are happy to trade, as representatives of this type are ideally handling money. If you prefer a good fight, then the Nords are exactly what you need, because they are born warriors who do not part with heavy weapons. However, not everyone loves powerful, but slow fighters, and if you rely on speed and agility in battle, then the redguards will be closer to you. There are also heroes who handle magic very well - these are Bretons. However, in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim 5, races are not limited to humans. Fantasy lovers are encouraged to turn their eyes to the elves, who are no worse magicians than the aforementioned Bretons.
Choose a resident of the forests
If you want to become a magician, but do not want to play for a person, then the elves are your choice. For elders of good, high elves are created , and for those who are closer to darkness, they are nocturnal "eared". Both one and the other race are true magicians, so you can choose any of them without a drop of doubt. But if you want to play for long-eared, but there is absolutely no desire to conjure, then you can take the forest elf, who is an expert in archery. But remember that you are not tied to any particular specialization. In Skyrim, a new race will be unavailable during the game, so later you will have to play with the character you created, but you don’t have to adhere to his basic “preferences”, and you can always make a forest elf a warrior and a nord a magician . Whether this will be effective is another question.
Fancy Races
Humans and elves are those characters that gamers are used to seeing in almost all fantasy projects. But in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, races are not limited to the standard set - you can choose a very unusual Persian. For example, an orc, who here, unlike other games, is not the strongest fighter, but he will definitely be an unsurpassed blacksmith. The Khajiit race are humanoid cats that possess all the properties of these animals. You will see perfectly in the dark, move quietly, which will make your spell an ideal thief. But the Argonians are humanoid lizards, and their ability to breathe underwater without the expense of magical energy gives them unprecedented advantages over other races.
At the crossroads...
As mentioned earlier, no race is rigidly attached to any class, and you can choose any path of development. But still there are certain rules that you can follow when creating a character. For example, if you plan to “educate” a strong warrior, then you are better off choosing a north, orc, or redguard. If you expect to become a great magician, then dark or high elves, as well as Bretons, will be your best option. Well, the best archers, thieves and bandits are obtained from forest elves, imperials and Khajiit. You decide.
