Starting Race Bonuses

[Jenni]

When creating a character in Skyrim choosing the race plays a big part on what you plan on doing ingame. For example if you plan on doing damage from a far and using alchemy for making money on the side then you should pick the Bosmer ( Wood Elf ) race. Now If you plan on getting in your enemies face and bashing them with a two-handed long sword or axe then you should definitely pick the Orsimer ( Orc ) race. Here are a few other race bonuses.
