What is the strongest race to pick in Skyrim?

There's no single "strongest" race in Skyrim, as it depends on playstyle, but Orcs dominate melee/tank builds with their Berserker Rage (double damage, half damage taken). For mages, High Elves (Altmer) are supreme due to their massive Magicka pool and Highborn ability for rapid regeneration. Redguards excel with blades, Nords are great warriors with Frost Resist, and Bretons are fantastic for magic defense with their Magic Resistance.

Should I hand over the Redguard woman?

Whether you turn in the Redguard woman (Saadia) in Skyrim's "In My Time of Need" quest is a moral choice, as both sides have potential truths and betrayals; turning her in leads to her death, while helping her lets her escape, though many players find her story more compelling and side with her, sometimes killing the Alik'r warriors first for double rewards. Lore suggests she might be a traitor who sold out her city, but siding with her feels more heroic, and you get paid either way, making it a player-driven decision.
