Daggerfall features eight playable races, each with unique starting attribute bonuses, skill affinities, and special abilities or resistances. For example, Bretons are naturally adept at magic, receiving bonuses to Intelligence and Willpower, and a resistance to magic. Redguards excel in combat, with high Strength and Agility, and a resistance to poison. Nords are hardy warriors, resistant to frost. High Elves have high Intelligence but are vulnerable to magic. Dark Elves are balanced, with good combat and magic skills. Wood Elves are agile archers. Khajiit are stealthy and agile, while Argonians are resistant to disease and poison. Choose a race that complements your desired playstyle and class, as these starting bonuses can significantly impact your early game and overall character progression. Some races also have unique social interactions.
