The Elder Scrolls is somehow the only fantasy franchise in existence than can get away with multiple variants of humans without causing controversy and anger.
>>740893598is asmongold a breton?
>>740893598>actually goes into detail to create separate races with history, culture, and traditions >no black nords or imperials or white redguards>demographics make sense (no 50/50 split of redguards in skyrim) Turns out it’s pretty easy when you actually put in the effort
>>740893598I'm probably the only one who feels like this but Imperials really shouldn't exist. It just makes it simpler to have it be Bretons, Nords and Redguards.
>french and italian people have higher intelligence than swedish and black peoplewhat did todd mean by this
>>740893598Because nearly every bad trait associated with race, ethnicity and so on was put to non-humans like the Altmer, Orsimer, Khajiit, Bosmer, Dunmer and Argonians. All the human races are pretty tame and civilized in comparison.
>>740893598Because it was established in the 90s, the last game came out 15 years ago and they can't exactly retcon it without worse PR than they've had with both Starfield and Fallout 76 combined.
>>740894048That's how it was pre-Morrowind. The Imperial Province was simply a melting pot location made up of every other race put together. Before the retcons, in Arena and Daggerfall, Uriel VII was most likely a Breton.
>>740893598All fantasy is based, race essentialism is a core part of the genre.
>>740895005protip: he still is
>>740893898>>740893598>>740894157>>740894902>>740895005Yeah expect every city, town, and household to look like an American public school/pride parade when es6 comes out. They are absolutely NOT going to respect racial population lore in that game.
>>740893598It's probably because they aren't a meritocracy and women are in positions of power and combat everywhere in TES. That's all the women who bitch and moralize online about race and gender bullshit actually care about.
>>740895565>immediately defaults to America analogy as though his third world country wouldn't look like Hammerfell
>>740895904I'm literally American speaking from first hand experience lol.
>>740893756Yes, he is a very british phenotypet. professional racist
>>740894048Disagree because Imperials fill the niche of a social and charismatic race. At the same time Imperials came to be, Bretons were turned into gangly magical half-breeds, so no overlap there.If anything, Nords and Redguards are the most redundant in terms of both sharing a retarded and warlike yet unexpectedly poetic nature. The only major things differentiating them are having opposite skin tones and opposite views on Lorkhan.
>>740896180Thanks for sharing your expertise.
>>740893598We all strive for the same thing.
>>740895565Cyrodiilcacas...
>>740893598Probably because you can customize your character. Challenge the stereotypes, even.
>>740893598Never forget that Redguards had -2 INT back when stats were a thing.
>>740896621Morrowind being the most based entry, as usual
>>740897370And nords?
>>740896621>s-skyrim doesnt belong to the nords, racist chud!!
>>740897434that’s just Vvardenfell tho
>>740898770>thoCan this trend of acting retarded and brown finally stop? It's spelled "though."
>>740893756He doesnt bath because he have dragonskin.
>>740894762>should of
>>740896597We call you people furfaggots
>>740893598The last elder scrolls came out in 2011 and was developed for like 5 or 6 years prior, before our culture broke. It cannot and will not be the same in TES6. Even if it takes place in Hammerfell, they WILL find a way to make redguards analogues for (specifically) american black people; oppressed and discriminated against in their own lands.
>>740899810>Even if it takes place in Hammerfell, they WILL find a way to make redguards analogues for (specifically) american black people; oppressed and discriminated against in their own lands.Unless the Dwemer come back, I don't really see it happening. Hammerfell will just be Wakanda 2.0.
>>740899810Yeah, 2011 was before the whole hedgefund woke gaming backing, this will be milked to farm esg dei points.
>>740898848u a whole goofy for this one bro
>>740899297you should not of made the post you're ass posted
>>740897687Correct.Nords are too dumb to govern themselves and chud is only a fake racist who is unable to see this.
>>740894157Well, Italians and Greeks literally invented the modern Western world and ergo the rest of the world.
>>740900563inventing ind*strial society wasn't a smart idea
>>740900183Just being black wont be rare in hammerfell, so im expecting a situation similar to starfield, where every single leadership position and 80% of quest npcs are strong independent redguard women.
>>740900673That was the British, actually. I am referring to the basis for the philosophy of our governments.
>>740893598There hasn't been a new Elder Scrolls game since before every leftist on the planet became a woke retard.Think about that. Bethesda already fucked up Oblivion and Starfield recently. Don't get your hopes up, you coping n'wah faggot.
>>740898848>newfaggot getting mad at "tho"Kill yourself newfaggot.
>>740895565They already stopped giving a shit about the lore longer than you've been alive.
>>740900673>ind*strial societyThat's a Nord invention.
>>740900673they didn't
>>740893598And that's exactly why we haven't gotten a sequel for 14 years.
>>740900489>Can't govern themselves Have you heard of Talos little elf?
>>740900817>2016er calling anyone else new
>>740900563The world would be better had Persia conquered all of Greece or if Alexander had successfully formed a Grecopersian empire.
>>740902965>Talos>he doesn't knowNot beating the allegations, huh
They should add akaviri as a playable race. Diversity is our strength, right?
>>740905361Fuck no thats all we need, Bethesda making Akavir lame. They already turned Cyrodiil into The Shire.
>>740899810>"The Imperials and Nords owe us reparations!"
Now, how will modern writers handle the Altmer trying to wipe out the Redguards again?
>>740905536I mean it's hard to fuck them up, they seem to be pretty much be fantasy Japan as we've seen with the Blades armor and Cloud Ruler Temple
>>740893598I want a fantasy series with multiple races based off of prehistoric hominid species.
>>740893598a shame the series gets worse with every entry
>>740894048nords = nordsbretons = anglosimperials = medsMakes sense to me. If anything there should be a slav stand-in instead of redguards. They're redundant with orcs anyway.
>>740906515Redguards are arabs
>>740906057They'll probably ignore the previous plots and do Hammerfell and High Rock having a civil war with the Redguard faction being the good guys.
>>740905361Akaviri all got eaten by snakes, they don't exist anymore.
>>740909026>Source: some tamrielic explorer millennia agoThere's probably an akaviri who says the argonians devoured all the wood elves because he didn't see any when he visited briefly
It's going to be so annoying when everyone calls Hammerfell "woke" just because the default main character is obviously going to be a Redguard, just like Skyrim's was a Nord.
>>740902965Talos is Tiber Septim bro...>>740904257Talos is the Underking bro...
>>740893598Breton male? More like Norwood male lmao
>>740909026Also they already retcon the lore to make it shittier, why not retcon it to include cool ass samurai, ninjas and hot kunoichis?
>>740906515Orcs are Finnish
>>740910986No one forced them to make the game in Hammerfell, the second most boring province
>>7408935983 different body type and a black
>>740893598Wrong, it pisses off right wingers all the time
>>740911206Hammerfell? Black Marsh would be worse its a swamp shithole with some places outside it that people can tolerate. Skyrim is a snowy shithole with some ice age megafauna and pinewood trees. High Rock would be ruined because its entire aesthetic was stolen by Cyrodiil which turned it into diet LOTR. Half of Tamriel honestly is boring because well, Bethesda has no creativity left.
>>740905536Akavir is already lame, there's a reason Tamriel Rebuilt isn't doing it.
>>740893598>>receding hair line>>body of an asian man>>mild hunch in the backWhy does Breton look so miserable?
>>740893898>>740895565They didn't respect racial population lore in Skyrim. Less than half the population of NPCs in Skyrim were non-Nords.
>>740911586it's the trade off for being the best race.
>>740911758They're one of the worst races in Skyrim. Orcs are the best, their racial ability lets you deal double damage and take 50% less damage, effects that are impossible to get anywhere else.
>>740900673Thats a jewish thing buddy.
>>740911823okay fair enough but that's because magic sucks in skyrim. but they're the best race in the better games.
>>740893598Dei wokeshit
>>740911901Orcs are the best race in every game in the series they're in.
>>740906515Bretons are both England and France. Both countries share typical western European kingdom styles while having a tribal Celtic history
>>740911823>Once a day Power virgin>passive 25% mr + daily absorbtion power ChadNuh uh
>>740905361>he doesn't know
>>740912170
>>740911746No it wasn’t fuck off you well poisoning retard.
>>740912263>heaviest race>this makes them fasternigga wat
>>740911823>"their racial ability lets you deal double damage and take 50% less damage"Why would that matter when I smith shit to kill enemies in three hits and get shitloads of physical armor? Not to mention:>60 seconds, once per dayBretons have an innate 25% resistance to magic. That's constant, indepent from the 50% magicka absorption they can do also once per day.Your entire race was popped out lol
>>740912218>Ah hello! My name is Akaviri Commander Smith, nice to meet you.
>>740912471>25% magic resistanceWhy would that matter? You play a stealth archer in Skyrim and orcs are, statistically, better at that.
>>740912540>You play a stealth archer in Skyrim
>>740906293That’s literally real life cunt.
>>740912540The stealth archer thing is a meme.
>>740909026we dont know, but I like how EK2 handled it where the akaviri are men but practice an ancient blood sacrifice where they consume people to extend their lifespan while giving them snake features
>>740912746>EK2What's that?
>>740912629>>740912726It's the most effective way to play the game on higher difficulties, and if you're not playing on the higher difficulties, you don't need to worry about racial abilities or stats or anything, everything falls down regardless of what you do. Berserk applies to sneak attacks multiplicatively, so you end up doing an absurd amount of damage.
>>740912942>you end up doing an absurd amount of damageI do that regardless, so why play the ugly poop race for 80 hours for no reason?
>>740895565you better buckle in dude cuz hammerfell is the land of the blacks
>>740912834Elder Kings 2, mod for Crusader Kings 3. Team are a bunch of lorebeards so the quality is generally quite good
>>740912540you are gay my man. orc swing big axe around on master difficulty just fine.
>>740912942>Defend orcs out of all races with the most dishonorable milk drinker combat styleYou are right but its hilarious
>>740913020You can deal 6x that much damage if you pop berserk for a sneak attack.>>740913062An orc with a dagger and full set of shrouded armor can sneak attack for 60x weapon damage, if you really need to get in melee range.
>>740913151>You can deal 6x that much damageBut I already kill everything in one hit? And Berserk is a one time a day thing?
>>740913345>berserk is a one time a day thingPress T.
Bethesda will never make another good game ever again and ES6 will permanently cripple them as a AAA level studio
>>740913389>not only is he a stealth archer, and not only is he an O*c player, he also unironically timeskips 24 fucking hours every time he enters combat for an utterly USELESS power>in a roleplaying game
>>740913840>skyrim>roleplaying game
>>740913389>>740913151incredible autism anon
>>740894157the Trvth (Veritas)
>>740898934He has been wearing that stupid rainbow shirt for 2 weeks, what a fucking animal.
>>740896597What about Human male on submissive Furry male? That's the best kind.
On console I play the altmer because he mogs.On PC i play whatever I want and still mog.
>>740912464More muscles to move with duh.
>>740896597kill yourself parasite
>>740894048Imperials fill a kind of Roman-Germanic way of thinking with organization of systems and negotiation. There is no grease in the wheels or new stones on the roads in the old history of the human race empires without the hard work of Imperials
>>740893598(((bethesda))) game studios
>>740912629Yes, I DO play a stealth archer in Skyrim.It's fun.
>>740893598I'm literally the Imperial male.
He looks like me... He's built... Like me... I ... Thank you...
>>740895565It annoys me how I know this will be true
>>740893598>3 gigachads and skinny Darksyde PhilThis is what elvish admixture does to a man's hairline.
Cant wait for ES6 where every race somehow has blacks, chinks and white in them. They will try to do it with the beast races too.Cant wait to play as a black Altmer or an Asian Nord.
>>740893598Friendly reminder that despite 10+ years of woke activism, Blizzard's flagship game remains, to this day, about a racewar at its core.
>>740906632mix of arabs and niggers actually
>>740906515Slavs hame some representation with Colovians and some aspects of Nords. Skingrad and Kvatch are prime examples and the games could do better to reflect that, but Bethesda preferred to give some Imperials names like Roderic, Eduard, Robert or Roland instead of something like Rislav, an actual king in TES lore. With Nords you can just point to aspects that the real life Norse had in common with Slavs, not least the armor and drinking. In TESO they even gave them funny accents but ESO is fanfic so who knows.
>>740925545Pictured here is also not a still of Whiterun but the second hit you'll get if you Google "medieval slavic architecture"
>>740906515Slavs are orcst. slav
>>740893598The last mainline game was 15 years ago. Just wait for there to be an option to make black nords in tes6(no white redguarss though).
>>740926309>Hated and distrusted>Ostracized, live in their own communities >Only used as mercenaries or farmhands by the civilizedCould be Gypsies if the role wouldn't already be fitting the Khajiit like a glove, could be Jews if they weren't dumb brutes.The correct answer is probably Mongols as the inspiration for orcs, notwithstanding that they are cursed idiots who couldn't conquer a bear's cave
>>740893598>actually a separate race>meanwhile you have retarded talentless boring shit like black dwarves and asian halflings>it would be so fucking easy to just make something new, fucking golnakks that are just black dwarves but they've got orangatan length arms, have horns, and are into voodoo, boom
>>740893598>LITERALLY>LITERALLY>LITERALLY>CREATED BY MULTIPLE GODS>TANGIBLE GODS>hmmm idk they're probably just the same thing but with different colored skinYOU FUCK
>>740905536They already made Akavir lame as hell with Oblivion and ESO. You'd have to ignore everything post Morrowind and be a scalie faggot to get the wacky Akavir you faggots want.
>>740893598Because they avoid realism of intermingling. If a redguard and nord have kids. Are they nord or redguard?They just stay within their race, never step out. Which is unrealistic as fuck because some argonians are looking fine
