Ah, just purchased Planescape. It should arrive sometime next week. Now to hope it runs on Win7.

[Superfluous Crow]

I have just started playing Planescape on my Win7 computer and it works fine.

I think you did that backwards.

Meanwhile, back in Tamriel...

Which race are you guys going to start with?

I know two of my friends will be playing Nords regardless of anything else. I tend to be all over the place. My favorite character in Morrowind was an Imperial, while my favorite character in Oblivion was a Kajiit. I think my Skyrim character will probably be... Hmm. I like the Imperial's voice of the emperor ability, it makes interacting with people so.much.easier. But at the same time, I really like the Viking feel of the game, and being a Viking (i.e. Nord) would be pretty dang cool. I'm re-playing Morrowind right now with a Redguard and I have to say, I do like their mechanics (Adrenaline Rush is soooo good).

Bah! I'll probably just roll a die :)

[Ninja D!]

In Morrowind I was usually Redguard for the mechanical superiority. Otherwise, wood elf rangers were great.

In Oblivion, I don't remember. The races were more balanced and mundane. Diseases had also become a non-issue.

In Skyrim, maybe I'll recreate my first Morrowind character: A Nord warrior called Heimdall.

[Nomadic]

My favorite character's in Oblivion were Redguards. I'll probably do a Nord first in the spirit of the game and roll up a Redguard second time around.

Haha, look at us - Three Redguards talking about how awesome we are. ^^

Khajit, definitely.

Again, sneaking and shanking. That's what cat people do.

...Or if I'm playing while friends watch, as is often the case, a Redguard with big eyes and HUGE LIPS. Because there's nothing more hilarious than engaging in racial humour that your white friends are obligated to find offensive.

Be sure to name him Bubba Blackface and have him wear ratty pants, no shirt, and a straw hat while wielding a pitchfork.

I approve of all of this so much...

I suppose the humor would sort of be lost on people that didn't realize you're a dark-skinned fellow, if that's what you mean.

[Superfluous Crow]

I usually end up making like a trillion characters and none of them ever make it very far. I had a crazy dark elf warrior-mage in Morrowind, but I was always sad that I hadn't trained myself in using all that cool, cool high level heavy/medium armor there is in that game.

[Ninja D!]

The medium armor was the coolest...Oblivion hurt so bad.
