Anyone playing as an imperial? - Page 2

I'm using an imperial. I always think heroes should be human. Not elves, orcs or lizards.

who said anything about being a hero?....i've killed half of skyrim

The Imperial (if you care) has a starting boost of ten in restoration and of five in destruction, enchanting, one handed, block, and heavy armor. He can be a batttle mage (all magic and heavy armor), spellsword (armor, switches between weapon and magic) or a mage tank (shield and spell). You can also do warrior or mage builds. Or you could go against starting stats and be anything.
Nords have boost of ten in two handed and a boost of five in smithing, one handed, block, speech, and light armor. Warrior builds are usually better with light armor. Berserkers use heavy armor. You can be a knight (a warrior with good speech skill), a warrior (a weapon and a shield), a weaponmaster (dual wielding), a berserker (two handed), or again go against starting stats.
Both have somewhat similar racial powers. Battle cry makes all creature scared in range. ALL. Voice of the Emperor makes all poeple friendly. People, not animals or draugr.
Nords have 50 percent frost resist, great for a battle hardened warrior who likes to explore nordic ruins and face draugr. Imperial luck gives you a bit of extra gold wherever you look (in all containers that have it, you get more. If it is empty, no). It is only a small amount (up to 10 gold), but it will eventually add up.
Now, finish your debate about Nord vs Imperial.

My Imperial is currently lvl 20 and whacks stuff with her 2H mace clad in heavy armor, having a great time and not running into any issues or being wimpy in any way.

The game is what you make it. Create whatever you like.

Or create both a Nord and Imperial, play them for a few levels and see what you like best. That's what I'd do, personally. It's not like you're limited to 1 character.

I always play as an imperial. Never played a elders scroll as any of the others. My imperial is big and muscular. They are superior race for obviouse reasons

Right now I'm a level 40 nord and my highest combat skill is one handed with 84 and my two handed is only about 40. So you can be any kind of charecter with any race with hard work.

I was considering being a imperial for my second built but now I think ill be redguard.
