I can't see how setting a game in the dedicated black guy province can avoid being woke though. Literally anything they do is going to be hyper analyzed for any potential racism.

If I were in bethesdas shoe's I'd just have both hammerfell and high rock but I know for certain they wont do that.

• The two inner factions are both descended from either sociopaths or mass-murderers; a Redguard is either a Forebearer (someone descended from the Swordsingers who participated in the destruction of Redguard Atlantis and the genocide of its people), or a Crown (someone who has the old plantation money from their ancestors in Redguard Atlantis). There is literally no equivalent to the African-Americans in their history, since none of them were brought to Tamriel by slaveowners, with the possible exception of the lesser Crowns.
• They've participated in numerous genocides. The Forebearers annihilated Redguard Atlantis (Yokuda), the last Tamrielic humans without any Atmoran or Elvish blood in them (the Nedes), and most of the Orcs (which they called "giant Goblins") at least twice. Their ancestors annihilated the Elves of Yokuda. If Bethesda tried connecting them to African-Americans, it would go about as well as when The Woman King was coming out and tried painting the Dahomey slavers (black women) in a positive light.

Did you know that the crown/forebears conflict is based off of traditionalism(Crowns) vs openness(forebears)? The crowns are more hostile to outsiders. So you just know bethesda is going to pull some bullshit by having the crowns be just cartoonishly snobby with no point to there philosophy, as well as being secret thalmor supporters, while the forebearers are cool pirates who will never do anything bad ever and there will be no consequence to their ideals.

I also bet they'll make the crowns Caucasoid and the forebears look african, despite the fact that it would make more sense for the crowns to be more black, as they'd be pureblooded redguards.

And you just know they will bring in some bullshit about how the nords colonized them and there white privilage despite the fact that Racial relations between stormcloak aligned skyrim and hammerfell would be amazing since they're the only ones with the guts to stand up against the thalmor.

Todd a cynical Microsoft lackey, who only wants to make money, or is he a prisoner, who's still passionate about making games, but unable to adapt to the scale of the company and expectations from his parent company?

I don't think Todd is anything other than a kind of out of touch idiot who got really lucky getting to be the face of a company full of people more talented than himself who actually knew how to make a fun if messy game.

Any time he has talked about Fallout 4 or Starfield he really just seems kind of lost and confused. He can't comprehend why people are hating on the games and can't comprehend why people are mad with his company. It's kind of pathetic honestly. Hi

this, the whole "shut the fuck up and let us have a longer dev time in between games than Rockstar" mentality is very much from him, Todd was just a programmer for Daggerfall, the fact that he is leading TESVI concerns me even as someone who enjoys Bethesda Games,

As much stick as Todd deserves, he isn't a pants shitting mongoloid like Emil. He knows the meme, and he knows that he's painted himself into a corner, because more and more devtime is spent on making Gamebryo work, as poorly as it does, but all the old timers still around and keeping the studio from imploding would quit the instant they were forced to make and learn a new engine.

I don't envy his position. It's either nuking the studio and not putting out a product for a decade or keeping this heap of shit stumbling along.

The Empire already conquered them but they got a lot of autonomy due to the events of the game Redguard. A Stormcloak ruled Skyrim invading Hammerfell makes no sense though, Bethesda doesn't like definitively saying what outcome happens to reinforce the idea of player choice that's why we had that whole thing where all the endings of Daggerfall apparently happened so we likely won't know who won the civil war or the circumstances on how it ended, as well as that post civil war Skyrim will be recovering from it and the border between Skyrim and Hammerfell is heavily mountainous and easy to defend and the terrain in general heavily favours the Redguards.

You people who misunderstand Ulfric because you watched too many Game Theory videos make me sick.

They show us how the Thalmor "plays both sides" in the Civil War questline, and it's pathetic. In all likelihood, Ulfric was being patronized by someone similar to that triple agent who tries taking the Jagged Crown from you, and told that guy to fuck off during the Markarth Incident. The Thalmor call him an "uncooperative asset", which means something they benefit from in the meantime but can't actually manipulate anymore, and the end of their dossier clearly states that ANY end to the Civil War (Stormcloak or Empire) would be bad for the Dominion.

In truth, the Thalmor realized guerilla warfare was a pain in the ass while trying to hold Hammerfell, and they supported the Stormcloak Rebellion at first because they saw it as a similar conflict they could start for their enemy. They didn't expect it to blow out into regular civil warfare.

There are two actual Jew races in Tamriel:

1. The Orsimer are the empowered, Zionist Jews of Israel. This wasn't an intentional metaphor by Bethesda, but rather a sinkhole they got themselves in due to a mixture of tangled-up lore and lazy worldbuilding choices. They are the Empire's greatest ally, with a tiny city-state that the Empire (and literally no one else) considers a province. Many choose not to live in the new Orsinium (Israel), instead existing in a diaspora of tribes and Legion families. The previous Orsinium failed due to its king not worshipping Malacath properly. While the Nords of Skyrim are racist, they have a transparent blind spot towards the Orsimer (along with the Redguards for real-life reasons), and even the Stormcloaks avoid calling them out to their face. If the Stormcloaks win, the Imperial Legions will no longer be able to resupply and reinforce Orsinium (Israel), and it will inevitably be destroyed by Hammerfell (the Middle East)... unless, of course, the Stormcloaks consider them to be their greatest ally as well.
2. The Dunmer are the Jews Bethesda intended. They are an insular, conniving people, currently in a diaspora of their own that Bethesda made far more explicit than that of the Orcs. They are mistreated by every nation except the Empire; however, they hate the Empire more than any of the others, due to its refusal to send them enough money and troops while everyone on the continent was in crisis. The previous homeland, Morrowind, failed due to its king not worshipping Azura correctly; now some have started to file back in, due to the conditions being better, but the in-game books suggest that the bottom half of Morrowind actually belongs to the Argonians (the Arabs) and was given to the Dunmer for political reasons. The mistreatment of the Dunmer is due to them giving everyone else exactly zero reason to like them. Also, they're merchants now.

Tangentially related but skyrim is kinda funnier if you think of skyrim like its middle east and the thalmor as america. Racist, considers themselves more enlightened, taller, higher iq, technologically advanced.

This reminds me that canon interracial couples are actually pretty rare. Even among the races of men, they tend to stick to their own. A Nord is going to have a Nord spouse, an Imperial is going to have an Imperial spouse, ect. It was mentioned in this thread earlier about how it's wierd that Skyrim doesn't discriminate against the player for being a beast race, but you would think interracial couples would also invite comments from NPCs. What if you are a Storm cloak and married to an elf? A child is 100% the race of their mother in this universe, so you would think there would be societal implications for that alone.

There is no way the child is canonically 100% the mother though because Empress Katariah was a dunmer who gave birth to two dragonborn emperors

As with all things Elder scrolls, there are inconsistencies and retcons a plenty. They could have been elves who married their bloodline back into men I suppose. Notes on racial phylogeny gives an in-lore excuse for why you never run into any true mixed-race characters though. I wish they would straighten this out, but I doubt they'll ever touch it with a 10 foot pole.

I mean there are plenty of reasons for that to be explained. Dragonborn genes are just so strong that they override the whole 'same race as the mother' thing.

And I mean, it makes sense as a general and not often seen thing. It stands to reason that a Nord and an Imperial shacking up would probably have a kid that leans one way but is effectively mixed enough you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

You knock up an Argonian woman though and The Hist or whatever makes sure she pumps out a lizard baby rather than some freakshit.

ESO also added cosmetics to Bretons to give them elf ears to harken back to their mer/man mixed ancestry, but that's ESO, and fuck ESO.

There's also the Racemenu mod for Skyrim which greatly expands customization options including being able to give your characters pointy ears no matter the race.
I've done a breton with slightly pointed ears before actually. Not exactly elf ears but enough to give the impression he's not 100% mer or man either. Like they're supposed to be in lore.

With how anti-controversial BGS is dead set on being, it's very likely they'd just write in that a stork delivers all the babies and the parents get what they do. Fucking terrible that something as fundamental as sex and genetics existing can't be acknowledged because of niggers and troons.
