oblivion-whats the best race everyone please post their opinions

Well, depends on your playstyle for one thing, and how u wanna play the game.

Oblivion's stats can be maxed pretty easily, along with skillz, so race becomes more like how you want ur character to look like. I took the cat looking race. Or if u want the resistant and some natural buffs.

The sad thing about my Oblivion experience, is that I when I finally maxed out EVERYTHING and got like |337tz items and top ranks for every guild and association, my PC got F-ed, had to reformat and I lost all save files.

Meaning that, I've never played the Main Quest before. And I'm too lazy to actually restart the game. Haha.

I hope this helps ^^

Same thing happend to to me...:cry:

I like wood elves because theyre good archers and theyre hippies, you know, cuz they live in the woods.  The chicks are hot too, I made an Angelina Jolie lookalike.mrbojangles25

LOL! Exactly the same here - I, too, made a Angelina Jolie-like wood elf archer/thief... One really ugly Angelina... :)

If only Oblivion had an online mode, we could meet up and get them to kiss and spoon.

I think Breton is generally considered the "best" safe choice magic race because they get +50 magicka, and magicka resistance, with no downsides.

You can pretty much do melee fighting with any character.  I find that even if I choose a Nord/Redguard/Orc I still end up using magic anyway, because the way the game was made, its pointless just being a 'melee' type fighter, you might as well do everything at once.

Dark Elf saves life if you are a vampire and preparing to into oblivion gates.(Fire Res)

And also have Destruction mag bonus.

Don't listen to the guy telling you willpower is not important, it is what destruction and a few other magics use. The higher your willpower the more powerful your destruction spells and the less mana they use.vfibsux

I like Bretons because there a mix between combat and magic with no down sides.

My personal favorite is Khajiit (the cat looking). Because of their natural speed, they make good thieves.

Or if you want your character too look like a human at least, i prefer Dark Elf.

Actually, whoever has the most luck is the best race, as you can eaisly max out every other stat with X5 multipliers.
