It didn't work out, as being a pure mage in skyrim is difficult. Again.See, my first attempt at a mage was an argonian.
Redguard make good knights, High elves make the best pure mages, Bosmer make excellent sneaky bastard gloriously OP archers.Now I find myself wanting to start playing as an argonian. Aside from some perks and resistances, stuff like the dunmer resistance to fire, khajiit unarmed damage, imperial luck, all the race does is give you an advanced start on a handful of skills, which may or may not come to influence your playstyle, and of course, it has a big influence on your character's appearance.Most races give a good boost towards becoming a certain style of character.
True, I have a terrible habit of not taking these characters far, but I have played every race for a decent amount of time.For better or worse, skyrim's race system has less restrictions than previous elder scrolls games.
Okay.I've got five minutes until the veloci-person horde descends upon me, so I best explain myself.I have played as every race in skyrim.
