Does anyone else only play races that do not have spell/poison/disease resistance?

For me picking something like a Breton is almost cheating. I feel that by picking certain races you are really doing yourself a disservice. It kind of diminishes the quality of the experience since you have such a high resistance to spell damage. Parts of the game that might be a heart pounding experience for other races....means nothing to you. I feel the same way about Dunmer, Nords, Orsimers, Redguards, Argonians, and Bosmer.

For the full Elder Scrolls experience the only real options are: Khajiit, Imperial, or Altmer.

Even if Orcs did not have spell resist I still would not play them due to how incredibly ugly they are. I've seen a lot of ugly people in my life time, but none of them compare to the Orcs. I feel like they made Orcs even uglier in the remaster. That is a face only a mother can love.

Racial bonuses are a bit of a dated mechanic I feel. I'd rather my apperance be completely cosmetic and then pick other things for a background that gave me passives, like the birthsigns.

yes, breton is little too good.
variety makes the role playing more interesting.

[EASY PETE]

I choose bosmer

Do not take the last good thing about rpg character building away from me.

Never. Getting diseased by every rat you encounter is no good especially since they are the first critters you run into at the beginning.

I only play beast races.

For who could ever love a beast?

Literally playing an Imperial for the easy street personality check. i also am using atranotch birth sign and an extra 45 spell absorb to make myself essentially immune to all magic (that 5% hardly ever matters, and never enough to worry). oh, i'm also a vampire, so fire spells which are crazy common in the game, heal me more thanks to my weakness to fire lol

might play a wood elf if i do another run later... ngl, they actually look kinda cute this time (ik many people think the character models are horrible, but everyone has their aesthetic taste i guess, and ill accept i'm the weird one here XD)

As an Englishman, I only play Imperial.

Possibly, I just chose a male Breton, as of the nostalgy factor.

Was basically the first char I played on my 360 back then. <3
