Redguard. Non-regenerating mana obviously means that Dr Hackenslash is the best choice.

Well so's your mother but that didn't stop me- I mean what.

Also I demand gratuitous violence. Hack slash chop chop.

ORC!
WE MUST CHOP THINGS UP WITH GIGANTIC THREE HANDED AXES!

PEW PEW could also be nice.

Argonian
Argonians amphibious reptilian race is blessed with intelligence, speed, and agility. They are predisposed toward sorcery and thievery.
Lizards! I have a feeling Lizard will like them. They can breath underwater, which is pretty boss.

Breton
Bretons have high intelligence and willpower and are particularly suited to use magic. In addition to their skill in sorcery, they have a natural resistance to spells.
Pretty much just especially magical humans.

Dunmer
Dunmer (Dark Elves) are known for their strength, intelligence, and speed. They are skilled with both magic and weapons.
The only cool elves.

Altmer
Altmer (High Elves) are notable for their golden skin and are blessed with high intelligence, willpower, and agility. They have less spell resistance than Bretons, but are more resistant to disease.

Imperial
Imperials are sophisticated and known for their education, manners, and highly disciplined armies.
Basically white humans.

Khajiit
Khajiit have unmatched agility and is naturally suited to becoming thieves. Their catlike appearance suits their aptitude for cat-burglary.
Adorable (and high) kittens, most of them.

Nord
Nords are tall and light-haired, with great strength. They are also skilled in battle. They have a natural resistance to both natural and magical cold.
Often found missing some or all of their clothes, typically attributed to witches.

Orc
These sophisticated barbarian beast peoples of the Wrothgarian and Dragontail Mountains are noted for their unshakeable courage in war.
Orcs tend to go "raaaaaaahhg!", and then hit things.

Redguard
Redguards are a dark race, naturally suited for battle. They are skilled with many types of weapons and have above-average endurance and speed.
Basically black humans.

Bosmer
Bosmer (Wood-Elves) have an agility and speed that gives them a natural inclination toward thievery. They are also particularly skilled in archery.

Sorry about the partially copypasted descriptions, but they'll give you a decent idea of what each race is like.

Remember that just because you're an orc, doesn't mean you have to go "raaaaaahhg" and hit things.
You can be studious, it'll just be harder. (for me)

That obviously applies for all races.

Edit:
You bastards, nooooooooo!
Ninja'd by, like, eleven people.

Edit2:
As for graphics, I probably could get them looking better, but it would mean murdering the period for which I can play without crashes.
Or that I would have to do a lot more hard work to get everything to play nicely.

Neither of which are an option in my eyes.
But, I'll experiment. I hear the SSAO shader makes everything super-sexy, so we'll see.

Also, I think Redguard is the common consensus, so we'll be one.

I can see the appeal.

Seems like the only good ones are the top three to me. The rest just don't seem nearly as good in comparison.

Argonian
Considering no other race and even hope to breathe underwater without magical crap we might want to be this.
OMG CANT USE SHUUUUS

Dunmer
That Dunmer we saw there looked badass.
Also: "The only cool elves."

Khajiit
For lol factor.
Nyaaa

Orc
Gigantic three handed axes are go.

Redguard
The bandwagon.

Mmph, forgot the Bretons and Nords. Well. They're pansies, so.
(actually Nords could probably be compared to Vikings, but eh)

The Argonian waterbreathing is a cast spell... uses Majicka. Might still be good, but we're giving up other stats for it.
And Argonians can't use shoes.

Wait what I thought Duh was a girl how does that wor-

OH GOD.

OH YEAH!

Also, for class, I vote we decide on the skills most unsuited for our race.

"Great. You'll fit in just fine."

Seeing how Morrowind is about half Dunmer, I think he might be joking.

I head into the Census and Excise office, and a robed man asks me about my profession, and about my skills.



"I'm pretty good at hitting things, with swords especially.
I can fix up a suit of armour in no time."

"I guess I dabble in magic, too, but mostly just the utility stuff.
And the healing stuff.
I got pretty good at that."

He eyes me, suspiciously. It's an odd skill set, sure.
But still, he barely finishes scribbling that down, and asks me what Sign I was born under.
I really can't remember. I think I'll just pick the one that sounds coolest, or something.

What Sign were we born under?

I could draw another picture to illustrate the reason...
In fact, I will. I like pointless drawings.



How do you expect argonians to get into the other, humanoid races footwear?

Also, now you see why I don't sprite... although I don't code either.

EDIT:
Pete, what race are we?
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Birthsigns
I vote Atronach.

Edited the post with the picture.
Note how we look like Morgan Freeman with an afro. I thought you guys would like that best.

Also, thanks for posting the link to the birthsigns page.
