Hah, no, I'm an Imperial.

Something like this, I guess.

Wood Elves are short, noone likes that.
I like Bosmer. The best race in Morrowind.
Imperial get +10 to Barter. Larp better.
Imperials are frauds. Not true merchants. You need 100 mercantile to be one.

It seems to better to follow the 'theme' of the race, rather purely their stats. For example, a knight should probably be a Breton, because they're the France or England of the setting and have technology from around the 1300 or 1400s (late medieval)

The Imperials are cultured but morally dubious (like all Catholics and Mediteraneans), with Renaissance level technology. They're also stooges for power, unlike the free-willed Bretons (not to mention, they have nice gothic black hair) For these reasons they suit being Assassins, no matter what the stats say.

Nords belong back in the dark ages, they're true barbarians (and I'm sick of chilly Skyrim)

Like for personal character creation or as something that Bethesda should do themselves? I don't see the former catching on because choosing racial bonuses to align with playstyle is the default strategy everywhere and the later would get severe backlash after 30 years of freeform character choices.
