If you transformed into a playable race which would it be, and why?

If I was transformed into a playable race, it would be an Orsimer. Why? Not only are Orcs the stronger race of Elves when it comes to innate strength and Endurance, I can really relate to them - for I am a pariah in society, just as they are.

Furthermore, in my opinion, Orcs are the most beautiful playable race in all of Tamriel (yes, even in Oblivion).

If I were to be transformed into a playable race, it would be, without a doubt, an Argonian. I admire their focus on all things natural as well as their resourcefullness in instances of difficulty (such as warding off the Daedra in their homelands during the oblivion crisis).

Also, who wouldn't want a tail?

I like Altmer, even though I never play as one. I think they're so classy and cultured. ^-^

Also apparently that's the race I'm most like, so yayay.

I could be if I tried. There's nothing quite like treating everyone you meet as if they're inferior.

I'm assuming this is by choice, It'd probably be Dunmer, I love the culture (aside from slavery )and dry wit. And as much as I love Khajiit, I don't think I could deal with such a dramatic body change of having fur, tail, and a muzzle (Let alone psychology). If it wasn't by choice and instead a matching personality/traits, It'd probably be Nord or Orc

Nord.

Not through choice, but by nature: I already have a natural 50% Resistance to Frost.

I'm pretty biased toward the Dunmer. Morrowind was my first really in-depth TES game, and there's a really intricate lore behind them, even with the dark spots. But there are so many really deep motifs woven into their culture, even just narrowed down to the history of the Tribunal and how that shaped them, that I could probably write a thesis paper on it. The simple, mundane themes of humanity woven behind their godhood is really fascinating. I find the story behind their story really relatable.

Plus, I mean, I'm already the local s'wit, so.

Buuuuut deep down in my itty bitty lil' heart, I am a shameless Imperial lover and think my personality might fit them better. I can be pretty diplomatic...although not always a very good diplomat, hah.

Imperial for nothing else for the Personality boost. A Decrepit Shambles also appeals as a monster. A lesser Sheogorath type would be fun as a non-playable race.

I went with "Hybrid," just because I couldn't choose between Breton and Imperial.
