Okay, so for the first quest "Unbound". I was firstly born on a cart as a prisoner. Then a man called “hadava” notices me and gives me a choice to choose race, face, hairstyle and so on. I firstly saw a face of a tiger and it really scares me. I was like "omg, wt* is this!". Then comes the wood elves, I was like "ew..." and it really ruins elves' good impression in my mind before. Anyway, I check all the choices for race and found that only Nord is acceptable if only considering about good-looking appearance.
However, If you guys really wanna play this game not as an assignment for an engl131 course but as a game which you really wanna take it seriously, I would recommend considering about your class before choosing your race. For example, argonians can have 10 extra point on picking skill and 5 for sneak, light armor, stealth. It's perfect for a rogue using knife but not bow. The high elves can rapidly regain mana in 60 seconds and it has 50 extra mana in total. It also has 10 extra point on destroy skill, so it's perfect for a destructive mage (idk how to say it in engl srr). For warrior, I would highly recommend ORC for its special skill: deal double damage and reduce damage taken by 50%. That's really useful for a short-range warrior.
I chose nord as my mace and because of the mod I have installed before. It really don’t bother me whether my character is good-looking or not. I followed the Imperials this time. Actually I chose the Imperials for my first round and Stormcloaks for the second. So I don’t really care about it that much. The most impressive thing is always the dragon’s language. I noticed that the dragon really said something which I can’t understand when I’m in my first round and I was really interested in dragon’s language.
