I was considering being one on this gameplay, but having been an elf already...
While the Bosmer racials are pretty meh in Skyrim, I grew to love them in Morrowind (and Oblivion to a lesser extent) for their sneaky, alchemical, arrowy goodness.
As the mechanics in Skyrim are far different and are focused on always-on abilities and one-per-day powers (which I find I have rarely used in any of the TES games) and do not give skill or attribute bonuses... for me, selection of race has become more about RP potential than anything else. My gameplay style tended towards playing sneaky fucks that would just as soon put a poisoned arrow in your neck as look at you, so Bosmer I remain.
Come to think of it, I've never played a Khajiit, Argonian, or Orc in any of the TES games. Hmm. Perhaps I should.

I rarely do as well. My victims usually are dead long before they're in shout range.
Though I have been known to sneak up behind someone and Fus-Ro-Dah them off something tall.
