      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

        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.

          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.

              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.

                    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?

      They don’t come from the same gods because they’re from a different Kalpa. Stop trying to create drama.
