I disagree, Dunmer are the Jews of Tamriel.
-demand a special carveout in the Empire's legal system to have their own exceptions (slavery, home rule, etc)
-murdered their Messiah figure
-are gifted a land of their own after a mass murder they themselves caused and still pitch a fit about being refugees in the giftor's lands
-treat being called names by the Dunmer-fatigued as equivalent to genocide

Also importantly: Being one of them isn't enough. Even to other Dunmer they are assholes if they weren't born and raised in Morrowind proper.

 

[Mage Killer]

Hot take: I actually think Dunmer are the biggest niggers in Tamriel:
- rude
- not too bright
- inflated sense of self worth
- easily led (Tribunal followers, Ralis Sedarys)
- eternal victims (New Gnisis)

I voted beast races since the Khajiit are the second biggest niggers, in that they act like niggers and then complain that the whole world treats them like niggers. They differ from niggers since they prefer backstabbing over random violence and, as a rule, they tend to be soft-spoken.

Dunmers are the indians of tamriel. Think about it, they worship these demonic Gods, have this oppressive social hierarchy, there where rumors of their aryan(aldmeri) past, can be pretty crafty/clever schemers. No, Dunmers are Indians. Orcs have more nigger vibes in their failure at creating a functioning society.

oppressive social hierarchy

Not at all, the Dunmer have a pretty flat class system compared to the rest of Tamriel. It's all just focused on what house you are a part of, if one at all.

You know I never did play Daggerfall, at least in any capacity I can remember.

How much different is it from Marrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim? I know it's fucking huge.

Ever played a first person RPG from the 80's or mid 90's? That's what Daggerfall is but with a massive open world. If you enjoy that, you'll enjoy Daggerfall.

Yeah everything about Dunmer culture and Morrowinds lore and naming conventions is inspired by a mix of Sumerian and Hindu myth. At least Orcs are pretty damn good smiths, they just can't fucking organize to make their own real nation. Even then, they aren't too uppity and many will either fight honorably or keep to themselves.

Man, the weight limit in Oblivion is insane. I had to take 4 trips from my hidey hole to my house to move all the stuff from Boetha's quest. I can't imagine playing this game with Heavy Armor.

I debated turning this question into a whole thread with a poll, but a sticker poll here should suffice.

Who are the real niggers of Tamriel? Vote with stickers.

- Redguards, they look like, and sound like, real world niggers, but does that make them the niggers of Tamriel?

- Orcs, they are violent and primitive barbarians, and they had to struggle to be recognized an equal/legitimate race.

- Beast Races (Argonians, Khajiit, and Imga), sentient animals, often enslaved and used as farm equipment, the Imga are gorilla people from lore, added to Morrowind by Tamriel Rebuilt.

khajit.
They have an actual crack addiction epidemic and can't help but steal.
Actual niggers except they don't randomly chimp out. I'd guess that's because on TES society they'd get gutted if they did.

Do Argonians born out of Black Marsh have souls? According to Argonian lore, Argonians get their souls from drinking hist sap and when they die, their soul returns to the hist. If an Argonian is a devout follower of Aedra/Daedra, will their souls still return to the hist? Which game do you think had the best Argonian design?

Technically Indoril Nerevar was murdered by the Tribunal who were Chimer. The Dunmer became a thing after they pissed off Azura who is the Daedric Prince of of Egotism and Vanity is one of the "nicer" Daedric Princes that the Dunmer worship.

I like Morrowind's take on them as they were more bestial which made them stand out from the main races aka mostly elves and different shades of human. (Bethesda really need to add more obscure races as options based on the province the game takes place in). Seriously we have the Dark Elves, Wood Elves, High Elves, Sea Elves, Snow Elves (barely), Chimer, Sinistral Elves (Red Guards killed them off though there might be a few around like the Snow Elves), Orcs are also Mer, Dwemer (They're somewhere) and Bretons I guess as they have the blood of Mer flowing through them. Honestly Pelinal Whitestrake did are terrible job.

 

[Deus Exica]

Here is how I think about it.

Imperials, Breton, Nord - Pretty much the various white phenotypes they emulate.

Redguards - Despite having a negro phenotype or clearly meant to be more Arabic and don't really seem to act much like niggers when you see them.

Dunmer - Like traditionalist Israeli Jews who worship Satans, are the eternal victims despite also believing themselves inherently superior and treating 'inferior' races like farm equipment, even call other Dunmer who aren't born within the borders of their country racial slur. Also shades of Jeet, I mean, you can literally call them Dungmer.

Altmer - Political western Jews like the ones in our government who want to wipe out the whites.

Beast races - Khajiit are more like gypsy scum but like to do drugs, lounge around, sell drugs, seem to have a compulsive need to steal, they also have a fondness for highway robbery. Argonians don't seem to fit the bill that well outside of being chatel, maybe they're more like Mexicans, they do cheap labor and come from a swampy shit hole with vague mesoamerican undertones.

Dwemer (They're somewhere)

They're in the skin of Numidum dude, probably.

 

[LovisXVI]

worship Satans

The Daedra aren't Satans, least of all because they aren't rebels against anything. If anything they're Asura (the fact that the Daedra and Aedra are named that way, make the Asura and Daeva inspiration clear), very real Gods that rule over less seemly and "nice" elements of reality and can't be honestly called benevolent. Besides, calling the Daedra "Satans" is buying into the Altmer lie, as the same substance of the Daedra is what created man, being both padomaic in substance, same with Lorkhan.

I think the Imperials are possibly similar most similar to Germans and Italians with Colovians being most similar to Germans during the German Empire era, Heartlanders similar most to Romans and Nibenese being most similar to modern White leftists without the self hatred.

Redguards have similar Japanese influences too and ethnically probably most similar to North Africans.

Altmer, pre Thalmor, are probably most similar to the British during their Imperial era and Nazi Germans under the Thalmor without the central leader as we would have definitely heard about them in Skyrim.

 

[Paul-Denton]

I Can't unsee all Altmer as tunnel Jew level Israelis after the rest of them just let the thalmor take over and now they've been expanding borders since. Ensuring that they don't get badmouthed anywhere in the Empire, attempting to stop true men from worshipping their white man god may as well be the ADL. I'd liken the dunmer closest to some kind of Indian or Singaporean buddhist-hindu shitskin lovechild in terms of culture.

I think they're all just an amalgamation of all types of real world culture/ethnic phenotypes. The Elven language even uses the word El as a suffix the same way semitic languages do. But they also have a literal Kangs mythology.

Currently replaying (un-remastered) oblivion, and found this happy little guy.

Why he cheesin'?

I like the idea that Kagrinac sent the Dwemer back in time when he fucked up the beat on Shor's heart and that it wasn't the first time. They've been stuck in a temporal loop which explains their more advanced tech. Eventually they will strike the right tones and ascend. At least it sounds better than whatever the fuck c0da went on about with Khajit spaceships and sexy Mer androids going back in time.

You see dem Dwemer ruins nord boi? Wez built that shiet cuh. Wez the real dwemers in this bitch

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Dwemer (They're somewhere)

Dwemer are basically Babylonians that figured out how to make robots. They're only called dwarves because giants thought they were tiny. The Dwemer ghosts in Morrowind don't look any shorter than Bosmer.

Bosmer are midgets dwarves too, it just makes them angry if you mention it.
