The Skyrim/Elder Scrolls thread

[Zanera]

what is your favorite character race that you played with, and what have you accomplished with that character in Skyrim?

When it comes to the Elder Scrolls games, it seems I make a character at first just to do everything in the game. (Try doing KotN being in the TG or DB tho). My first character was a Bosmer and I rarely used a bow. When I did, it was against dragons, and when it landed I always immediately put away my bow and went for a sword. I went back to Skyrim and I did an Imperial character, and I went as far in the MQ as visiting Paarthurnax and I think doing the Thalmor Embassy quest.

At first with the Imperial character I was mainly focused on fighting with the Legion against the Stormcloak Rebellion. I let Tullius kill Ulfric (damn dragons stopped it the first time). Sometimes I'd see Thalmor on the road and slaughter them with no regret, and when they sent Thalmor against me I made sure they were pretty dead. I went and did the Kill Greta (whoever, however you spell it) quest and slept so I could initiate the Destroy the Dark Brotherhood! quest to kill off the DB for the PO. I think I also went ahead and wreaked havoc at the Thalmor Embassy when the quest came up. Then I went and got a Closed Imperial Helmet.

If I ever play Skyrim again I'd probably do a Bosmer sneaky bow build that doesn't really give a fuck. Get some legit magic usage in there, like Illusion and Conjuration.

The new Warden class in ESO looks cool. Especially the Green Balance skill line. But I haven't bought ESO so can't play it. Still looks cool.

On the subject of memorable play-throughs.

Once, back in my Oblivion days, I made a Bosmer archer (yes, I know, very original). The catch, however, was that I role-played he was a veteran of a war between the Bosmer and Khajiit mentioned in one of the in-game books. During the war he was caught and tortured by the Khajiit and has since suffered from a very violent form of PTSD: whenever he sees a Khajiit, he would go into a mad rage and attack them. At any time. All Khajiit.

Spent a lot of time in prison with that character and murdered a lot of people, only most of which were actually Khajiit. Got kicked out of every guild, too. I finally ended the game by gathering an army of Bosmer (some followers, most temporary NPC followers) and purging the Oblivion game worlds of all non-essential Khajiit.

The grand farce of it all? The war he was a veteran of was hundreds of years ago and he would have had no way of living that long. So there never was any PTSD, he was just a crazy racist.

The Five Year War? That was only 40 years before Oblivion took place.

I keep thinking "How does some genocidal cyborg from the future mistake Khajiit for Bosmer", but I think he killed from the Ohmes.

that aside, ignoring Skyrim, the Khajiit aren't really innocent all things considered. I mean, no race is, but the Khajiit are too supremacist for a bunch of anthropomorphic felines

Supremacist? I haven't looked very much into Khajit history, so all I know is that they may have genocided a race ages and ages ago, so I'm not sure how else they could be supremacist.

generally in their history, like almost every other race, when not in a civil war (They're exceptionally prone to civil wars, being a confederacy of separate city-states barely held together by The Mane) they're waging war against other races.
also, in Oblivion (the only game where the average khajiit is not an outcast or a slave) their dialogues kinda have the stench of racial supremacy.

[Pilarcraft]

I just wanna say that the entire TES universe is set in the dream of a Sleeping Schizophrenic. None of it is real,
Queen Ayrenn is a Ayleid Mining vehicle from the 9th Era.
Pelinal is a terminator/Robot sent from the future to protect St. Alessia.
Vivec and Talos are true gods
Talos is Lorkhan.
#LorkhanDidNothingWrong

Ayrenn being an Ayleid mining vehicle doesn't make sense tbh. in the story that says that, it also says that she was brought to the first era. and yet, enslaved by Ysgramor (who legit died like, an era earlier)
also doesn't explain much in the matter of the actual Lore, which is ESO)
But yeah, I think Pelinal was also from the 9th era. I think.

I remember a khajiit in Bravil who was racist, maybe one or two in Leyawiin too, especially against Argonians, but there were plenty of khajiit with no signs of being racists. I don't really think that's enough to declare them all racists, at least no more than most races in Tamriel.

That's just about every other province on Tamriel though. War with your neighbors in uneasy times happen, it's just that Elsweyr doesn't have Khajit neighbors. The races I'd truly call supremacist are the Altmer (Aicantar of Shimmerene is prime example) and Dunmer (their "n'wah" slur, and...uh...slavery). The Redguards have genocided the Left-handed elves and the native Nedes of Hammerfell when the Ra Gada were arriving, but I think they can respect other races that are formidable in war. They probably didn't respect the left-handed elves and Nedes much after they genocided them...oh, and maybe most the Iron Orcs too...

I didn't pay much attention to the Oblivion dialogue. I'd be interested in examples. (Can just link me to the specific character pages on UESP, it'll show all their dialogue.)

Wait, did Zenimax remove Jagga and Rotmeth from ESO?

[Uinted Communist of Africa]

I love how most people didn't follow the elder scroll series until skyrim....noobs

[Imperial isa]

Wait, did Zenimax remove Jagga and Rotmeth from ESO?

Going by a 2015 thread i found form doing a google Yes.

That sux, but I think A Dance In Fire has sated my hunger for Valenwood lore for a time...

Jagga and Rotmeth feature in Valenwood quests in ESO repeatedly.

Can you make them though?

I was watching MrAndersonLP's playthrough of ESO: M and Warclaw Ferhara sounds racist, if not kind of supremacist.

So there's a definitely racist Khajit.

But I don’t think they’ve had a cultural history of it.

Me neither.
They're either slaves, skooma dealers, drug addicts, or good bow material. I wouldn't expect them to be very supremacist.

Sands are cold, but Khajit feels supremacist in your presence.

Thanks for reminding me that a Khajit is around me. Now I know to protect my coins!

Oh, there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red,
Who came riding to Whiterun from old Rorikstead
(pause)
And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade,
As he told of bold battles and gold he had made.
(longer pause)
But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red,
When he met the shield-maiden Matilda, who said;
(shorter pause)
"Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead,
Now I think it's high time that you lie down and bleed!"
(pause)
And so then came clashing and slashing of steel,
As the brave lass Matilda charged in, full of zeal.
(pause)
And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no more-
When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor"

No wonder I dislike the Khajiit. They like sand.

And sand is coarse, and rough and irritating. And it gets everywhere.

Just like the Khajiit.

If they should go anywhere, it should be the plantations of Morrowind!
