Their starting stats will require some tinkering to fully understand, however.
For greater detail, see the table below, comparing the Attribute bonus and special abilities of each race.
Below the table, we’ve outlined each race in greater detail.
Argonian
The Argonians are the lizardfolk of the Elder Scrolls franchise.
They also make decent archers thanks to their Marksman bonus.
Imperial
As the typical human residents of Cyrodiil, Imperials are all over the place.
Soif you want to talk your way out of problems, play an Imperial.
(For a ranged rogue, it’s more effective to go with a Wood Elf.)
Orc
Orcs are pretty self-explanatory if you’ve played any fantasy game.
Orc magic resistance is also decent, and their skill bonuses are better than Nords.
And that’s a wrap on which race is best for your Oblivion character.
