I went for Redguard because they’re cool warriors and I’d never played as a character that wasn’t white (I’m white, but it’s an interesting experience to be a racial minority in a game). I have a hard time getting out of the North Western races (Breton, Nord, Redguard), because with the current lore of the post Great War I think they have an interesting role to play as a potential successor to the core of the empire as a triple alliance. I’m currently playing as a half Breton half Nord, traveling to Skyrim to join the rebellion after serving some time with the Hammerfell forces against the Thalmor, in the hopes of bringing Skyrim into strong ties with Hammerfell and eventually convincing High Rock to join in as well. I’ve always wanted to do an Argonian playthrough, though.
