Oh, it gets better.

They're not the same species as the Nordic humans.

The "whites" in this game are the imperial, nordic have the same debuffs in willpower and intelligence.

Edit, with the exceptions of nordic women...

For some reason the race distinction doesn't bother me as much as the gender one. What the fuck

[-] cro_magnon_gilf@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah the sex ones are more odd... When you chose race and sex I think they don' give you the stats at all, they just mention in text what a race is better at. They don't mention there being gender differences or those differences differing between races at all.

I feel a bit cheated tbh

Redguards are from Yokuda, Nords are from Atmora, Imperials come from the Nedes and Bretons are a Nede/Aldmer mix. Each human race has a distinct origin, what's controversial about that? They're 'human' in the sense that they're not Mer or Beastfolk.

Idk bro, you think that, maybe, in a creationist setting, that means the "races" don't have a common ancestor?

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

My brother, read the fucking lore. Atmorans (Nords) are the fallen gods who followed Shor. Elves are the fallen gods who followed Auri-El. Redguards come from a different Kalpa (rebirth cycle).

Aka

Are a different species

Dumbass

But I'll give Bethesda credit, as others have noted the Nords have basically the same stats, so it's more a bad look/Romabooism than a white supremacy thing.

Aka Are a different species

A.K.A. a different race, as per Tolkienian storytelling and myth-building

I'm not going to argue the semantics of racism and their historical contexts in regards to human speciation with a gamer in "Suck Off Bethesda And Admit No Flaws" mode.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Take it up with Tolkien and the entire genre he spawned, buddy.

I was wondering how much of a clown you'd have to be to compare the two settings for this discussion, is it a professional thing for you or are you a hobbyist?
