What race are you going with?

For OG Oblivion I went with Wood Elf, for Skyrim I went with Wood Elf then swapped to Nord, for The Elder Scrolls Online I went with Redguard, I might go with Redguard for Oblivion or Breton.

Breton probably, they have the most useful racial bonuses of any Elder Scrolls race imo, 50 extra magicka points for more spell usage and a whopping 50% resist magic in the OG Oblivion, makes them amazing spellcasters who are strong against other mages, particular useful for spellsword classes in Oblivion as between the heavy armor skill of spellsword and the 50% resist magic from the Breton racial, you can tank just about any hit.  

I think I'm going with Breton for ES VI because of where it is likely set (High Rock). In Oblivion I wanted to be a stealth assassin archer and loved the Wood Elves and description of Valenwood, I wanted to try something new in Skyrim though and the whole Thalmor fuckers made me swap to a Nord, it felt better roleplaying wise and I just killed every Thalmor I encountered, Lmao.

ESO I chose Redguard because they are also very cool and in the future post-Skyrim they're one of few races who actually fought off the Aldmeri Dominion. So if ES6 is set in High Rock then likely Breton but if it's also partly set in Hammerfell then maybe Redguard. Why not Imperials for Oblivion? I find them the least interesting race, Lol.
