I think some of the races will get better perks to start out with. Which would be cool, because this would actually force us to think twice on which character to pick, instead of going for good looks. You could easily be an Altmer warrior/marksman, and even orcs or so could become potent mages if you didn't mind not having the boost of 50 magicka. For instance, in the Skyrim list of details you can see the Bosmer having the "Animal Allies" ability. I see a strong correlation with the "animal friends" perk in Fallout, where animals would stop attacking you and even come to your aid in battle. This ability is only for bosmer, because I really don't see what skill you can level up in order for animals to like you.
