>mimimi, humans don't have their own feature, mimimi, we have to invent something
Necromancy right here. When was the last time you saw non-human necromancer, lich or vampire? That's right, they practically don't exist because other races are simply inferior when it comes to necromancy and those non-human undead are so pathetic that everyone forgets about their existence in 5 minutes . Except for that one orc, but even he understood that he was worthless and therefore got himself a human body to finally become a full-fledged lich. So yes, here is your feature humans - necromancy, you know that I am right, you can't run away from the truth forever.

Mine are typically non-human, even though they look human.

Go ask in the other necromancer thread.
>>
>>97816513
The D&D game I literally played last week had an elf necromancer as the main villain.
>>
>>97816567
It's literally everywhere, just try to find a non-human undead, it's practically impossible and all such characters are forgotten. So only humans remains and that one orc from WoW.

Well yes. Not necessarily because humans are better at it. Humans are just more primed for necromancy, vampirism and other dark means to extend your lifespan via dark powers because of their lifespan and general intelligence.

For the same reason that I think humans would be naturally the most religious race. They live long enough to get attached to life, but live short lives (relatively speaking) that mortality is a real concern for them. And they are smart enough to ponder about mortality and what lies after. Short-lived races like goblins may live in the moment and aren't intelligent enough to have deep thoughts about mortality and death. And long-lived races like elves and dwarves may view death more as a release after a long, fulfilling but also hard life.

Humans, therefore, will either look to the heavens and pray for a good afterlife. Or they will shun morality and seek immortality through means like necromancy.

Elder scrolls has plenty of dunmer necromancers.

If they are so common, you can provide me with a list of known characters, right?

And some of those necromancers are necrophiliacs, too.

Oh, you're one of THOSE retards. Thanks for clarifying, next time do it in your opening post. Preferably on /pol/, not /tg/.

But sure, your unknown characters show that there is no humancentrism at all, there are tons of nonehuman undead, it's just that no one can remember them, but why should such a trifle stop you from denying the truth?

Nah, I just can't stand this zoomers "ironic fantasy" that's afraid to take anything seriously and therefore hides behind a mask of sarcastic cynicism. Plus the characters will always find a way to be incompetent deepshits at the most inopportune moment, so no, I prefer something in the style of Cyberpunk 2077 or The Witcher.
>>
>>97816950
Funny you mention Witcher, a franchise where vampires are in fact not humans, but are in fact blood-consuming monsters from another plane that merely imitate humans to facilitate easier hunting.

Once again you prove yourself a retarded tourist grasping at straws because your media literacy and knowledge of the genre you're talking about are almost zero. It's fine that you're stupid, but don't act like you're speaking for anyone other than your own kind.

Holy fuck you're retarded. I'd ask if you're trolling, but if trolling isn't funny (and yours isnt, its just sad) then that just makes you a faggot.

And none of them are particularly famous. But your neurodivergent brain seems incapable of grasping that fact. Oh well.

I'm not sure if the skid marks are from you moving the goal posts or shitting yourself. Probably both.

Elder Scrolls was mentioned upthread, and that's pretty damn famous at this point.
Thoughts?

You have alot of experience with neurodivergence, don't you? Again, stop trying to speak for everyone else when you're the retard in the room.

And none of them are undead, they're just mages, in other words regular elves. But you looked at their uniforms and thought they were undead. LMAO, and who's the tourist here? GTFO.

>>97817070
Games? Yes. Undead from these games? Not really, I would say the most forgettable element of the setting.
>>
>>97817079
Vampires aren't undead in a bunch of franchises either. We should rent you out of a farm though, you could plow fields the way you move a goal post.
>>
>>97817093
Name these "bunch of franchises", I'm waiting.
>>
>>97817091
Why would you single out undead, when vampires and necromancers are also a part of the topic?
It couldn't be because you know that necromancers and vampires have been huge parts of not only side stories and faction stories, but even some main stories of the Elder Scrolls series, could it?
>>
>>97817136
Don't bother. OP is in full ego-protection mode after basically everyone else in the thread pointed out how much of a retard he was being. He probably doesn't even realize that this is an anonymous board where nobody is keeping track of his e-peen points.
>>
>>97817136
Oh yeah, when people talk about Elder Scrolls they immediately think of the undead, not something else that is much more original and interesting. What's wrong with you? Don't answer, I know you're one of those who believe that 1% of exceptions can invalidate 99% of the rules just because you feel like it.

And that isn't getting into the Great Houses of Morrowind (ESPECIALLY House Hlaalu), almost all of which were rooted in necromancy, the Dunmer ancestral tombs, which utilize necromancy to protect the bodies and valuables of the entombed, Dagoth Ur who created his own variant of undead through Corprus, fucking Alduin, who raised DRAGON CORPSES as the main fucking plot of Skyrim.

Oh, but no, every necromancer is a human with practically no exceptions teehee.

Fucking faggot.

>>97817250
I won't even mention that no one remembers them even among TES community, it's obvious that you're an autist who's obsessed with them and can't understand that their existence in a forgotten corner doesn't change anything. I know better not to argue with autist, facts just slide off your smooth brain.
>>
>>97817289
Trust me kid, the "TES community" would be ripping you a new asshole harder than everyone in this thread is. You're not in middle school here, the """arguments""" that work in your lunchroom don't work here.
>>
>>97817289
If you've ever played an Elder Scrolls game, chances are you have run into a side or main plot involving non-human (Breton/Imperial/Nord/Redguard) necromancers and/or vampires.
There's pretty much no avoiding it.
>>
>>97817276
So we're going to throw away all tabletop settings and choose your favorite VIDEO GAME(!) as the reference point? How about you going to fuck off to /v/.

Bretons (from the Ehlnofex beratu meaning "half") are a hybrid race of both human and elven ancestry that primarily inhabit their ancestral homeland of High Rock, and the Systres Archipelago.
>Nords, also known as Northmen,[1][2] Bron in the Language of Dragons,[3]:1096 or the Children of the Sky,[4] are a race of tall and fair-haired humans from Skyrim who are known for their incredible resistance to cold and magical frost.
>Redguards are a human race that primarily inhabits the province of Hammerfell, but have roots that can be traced back to the continent of Yokuda.
>Imperials, also known as Cyrodilics[1] or Cyrodiils,[2] are a race of men from Cyrodiil, the province in the center of Tamriel.

Bro, you've never played an Elder Scrolls campaign at the table? I feel sorry for you.

Then again, you have to actually play games to have a campaign. And to do THAT you need friends, or at least people who will tolerate you presence. Don't give up though, OP, medical science might find a cure for faggotry one day!

It's true that being human-based makes undead more compelling.

>>97817510
But as was previously proven, necromancy and vampirism aren't uniquely human to any degree.

As was pointed out here>>97816702 only human are interested in necromancy seriously. For other races necromancers are freaks and exceptions, not the rule. So the maximum what you have is an elf who goes through the necromancy phase as a teenager.

Dude that pic is from a game called minion masters I remember saving that ages ago, its not the usual suspect.
