Silly Willy Nilly Vanilly in the Milly
Blame it on the rain
The Dunmer seem to be a popular race, can't really understand why. They have that fire resistance, but Skyrim is a land of ice! Most of your magic using enemies (Draugr, Falmer, bandits) use ice (or lightning) spells, and I find dragons alternate between fire and ice breath fairly evenly. But if you're going to play Dunmer, I figure you gotta go magic user.
I enjoyed playing with my Altmer as a mage, but I just like straight up wrecking people with a battle axe or great sword so much more.
I guess it's because I was so used to using the dunmer in Oblivion, it just carried over.
