Skyrim Racial Perks Review?
Can someone tell me the perks of each race?
I'm at work, and most game related websites are blocked. Though I am the only one in the office, and have nothing to do till midnight. I thought I might start a new game on Skyrim. (yes, I bring my PS3 to work, be jealous) I have a Mage and Thief character, so now I am looking for a warrior character. I was thinking about the Nords, Orcs, or reptile creatures. What are their racial perks/abilities.

Orcs and Nords make the best warriors.
As an Orc, your character starts with extra skills of:
+10 Heavy Armor
+5 Block , Enchanting, One-Handed , Smithing, Two-Handed,
Nords are 50% resistant to Frost and start with:
+10 Two-Handed
+5 Smithing, Block, One-Handed, Light Armor and Speech
Nords, Orcs, Redguard: Are the more attack driven races. They are good for bashing heads in.
Imperials: The defensive and more balanced of the races.
Breton: Magic oriented and are defensive.
Khajit: Nomadic and excellent at sneaking.
Argonians: Another good sneak based race. Can breathe underwater.
Dark Elves: (should stick to this if you want sneak and magic) Good sneaking and magic, weaker when it comes to attacks, 50% resistance to fire.
High Elves: Mostly magic based. Good for anyone who wants a Mage.
Wood Elves: Excellent sneak and archery, resistant to disease.
Hope this helps.
Be an Orc, Nord, or Redguard. The Argonians (Lizards) are more stealth based.
