Another good thing about the Argonian race in Skyrim is that they have excellent Alteration and Restoration bonuses as well. With high Sneak and Pickpocket skill bonuses, playing as an Argonian in Skyrim literally lets you get away with stealing anything and everything you want. Night Eye lets the Khajiit go adventuring everywhere without any fear of setting off as many traps nor missing out on as many items. Plus, the ability to see well in the dark is a boon for the many dimly lit areas that Skyrim has.

This is especially true because Khajiit in Skyrim can do a lot of damage, even without any weapons. While the Wood Elf might still make for better archers, no other race in Skyrim makes for more lethal killers.

If your goal is to fling spells all-day long, playing the Altmer or High Elf in Skyrim is for you. If you want to play as a sneaky destructive combat mage that can also do a lot of damage from afar, then the Dunmer or Dark Elf is the race for you. Also, the great thing about the Orc in Skyrim is that all of their bonuses are meant to make them great warriors. Outside of the bonuses in Destruction and Alteration, Red Guard gets Archery, One-Handed, Blocking, and Smithing bonuses, which make them great melee warriors with a little bit of archery flair. The Red Guard has access to the Adrenaline Rush ability, which allows them to restore massive amounts of stamina for 60 seconds, basically allowing players to keep on charging with their power attacks and blocking attacks for a full minute with little to no repercussions. If you prefer to have a little variety in your gameplay, then you might want to try a different race. If you like sneaking about and solving your problems from afar, the Bosmer is a great option for a race in Skyrim. The Wood Elf or the Bosmer can make for the most dangerous stealth archers in Skyrim, which are not to be messed with. If nothing else, being an Imperial is nice in Skyrim because you get access to Voice of the Emperor, which pretty much pacifies all humanoid threats around you for a full minute once a day. So, which races in Skyrim are the best, and the worst ones? Imperials are a good example of a race that seems intent on giving you the best of multiple worlds, only to end up falling short. Your chosen race also affects what kind of skills, spells, and stats you start with, as well as any kind of special race-exclusive powers that you can use to your advantage all throughout the game. While the choice of race mostly boils down on your preferences, the fact is, some races in Skyrim are just logically better compared to the others. Home to more than just its cold-resistant natives, the towering and pale-skinned Nords, the lands of Skyrim is a pretty diverse place.
