Haha, I'm currently on my 5th character. only finished the main storyline with the third character I did. and that was really only because I wanted to see what the rest of the story held.

Dunmer Male first (didnt like how he was turning out so restarted about 20 hrs in) Argonian Male second (did EVERYTHING, except finish main quest to get a feel for what was available, spent about 200 hrs) Nord Male (sneak thief but relatively good guy, only stole when absolutely necessary, mostly in first 80 hours to get established) Nord Male (Uber Good Guy, defender of the people, harbinger, weapons specialist and craftsman melee and ranged, healing spells only magic) Lastly, Nord Female (playing thieves guild, dark brotherhood, did companions questline to become werewolf; essentially a bad ass female assassin with a preferance towards female domestic partnerships haha; weapons specialist who enjoys paralyzing weapons and spells at range then once the prey is down, quickly moving in for the kill...

I like the nord character because it is set in their homeland. Thats really the only reason. Other races may have better starting stats for some of those skills I prefer to use but if you like to power level for completions sake, every skill will balance out to 100 anyway.
