Anyone else wish Skyrim were... more racist?

True, & we have fantastic bone structure as well.
I mean, cheekbones you could cut marble on.
Our features are the final stage of evolution perfectly chiseled a refined. So perfect and flawless with a sense of magic that runs deep in our very souls.

Ysgramor and his 500 defeated the snow elves, So the Dovahkiin and his 50000 should wipe them out ist as easy.
this is what will befall the dominion if they don't crawl back to Summerset isles

Last time the empire didn't have the Dovahkiin this time a new empire led by the people of skyrim (not that spineless fool Titus Mede) will crush the dominion and free valenwood and Elswyr from the tyrrany of the Altmer's dominion
The Dovahkiin, (closes my eyes with exasperated amusemant) if i recall history not even Tiber Septim himself was not enough to defeat the first Aldmeri Dominion.

Now all you have is a lesser dragonborn one who cannot equal a Septim and an empire that has lost much of its power and is held together by the strings of the Thalmor what if the Thalmor Rio those strings apart.

Then what will all if the races have, nothing other nations will succumb to the Dominion and join us.

The Thalmor's only advantage is the fact that the spineless politicians in the Imperial city are too scared to fight once our great empire gains the Redguard, Breton and Dunmer's support we will crush the dominion and free all they oppress.(Mede made us weak Talos will make us strong!)

Talos the one that will fall from the mythos and allow the Thalmor to unbind the dragon and to the sound of the doom drum shatter the physical world, there is more at work than you know the Thalmor don't want control they will settle for nothing less than breaking this existence the physical plane of the Mundas and rising above to their plain of pure magicka. That is their goal and a reason myself as a reasonable Altmer are not a part of them they are extremist, but I do see their power their power is in fear and subterfuge and they are powerful weapons indeed.

Why are the Khajiit Caravans not allowed in any capital and yet my character can walk freely? Makes no sense.

Maybe you shall survive the purge you at least seem a little sensible compared to the Thalmor but still Mer will never rule Man as long as there are Nords in Tamriel.

I am not a Thalmor I am an Altmer wizard that has lived for two and games centuries I was born in Cyrodiil in Skingrad but relocated to the Summerset before I was even a toddler I know that land before the Thalmor came to power I know what it can be Alinor is an insult to my people and what we stand for. I know that our current leaders are dangerous, but I see a Dominion that can be without Thalmor control that can create a better empire a new world power with Tamriel under the Altmer and a new third Aldmeri Dominion.

Anyone else wish race took a bigger effect into how NPCs interact?
I do. It would be kinda cool to have different dialog options with an NPC of the same race. Talking about your homeland or something like that. Don't know if I would go as far as racism though.

I wouldn't like to see a more rasict Skyrim, I would like to see the game react more to your individual race though, NPC's, enemies, etc.

I know this is odd, but I wish race were taken into higher account for the game. For negative and positive effects. I know people playing argonians would complain if they had to do a quest or something to get into Windhelm, or a challenged by another to a brawl at every encounter for Orcs, but I'd like to feel my race makes a difference. If I'm playing a Nord, I want someone to whisper "Watch out for them damn Elves.". Anyone else wish race took a bigger effect into how NPCs interact?

I know the argument that voice acting would be effective but costly. I usually mute Skyrim and play music, so I use subtitles. I really wish I felt like a pariah or a brother.

I agree.

It's beyond stupid that Dark Elves get questioned if "you hate dark elves too." Mother [censored] are you blind?
I definitely wouldn't mind if Argonians were cut-off from Windhelm or dramatic situations like that, though obviously they'd have to change the Khajiit situation in Skyrim a bit, since the Khajiit are supposedly banned from all cities.

On a slightly different note, I wish we had less stupid racism. What I mean is, how [censored] [censored] is it that the Nords of Windhelm accuse the Dark Elves of being Thalmor spies when there's an Altmer STANDING RIGHT THERE? They're literally turning to their Altmer buddies and saying "can you believe this Thalmor spy? We should kill her!" The racism against the Argonians is never justified either. With the Khajiit and Altmer, the racism is justified, but even that isn't flawless. One moment the people are saying "oh yeah the Khajiit are all thieves, can't trust them," the next moment the guy driving the wagon service, yknow the one MOST LIKELY TO RUN INTO THE KHAJIIT CARAVANS ON A REGULAR BASIS, says "hey you ever seen one of them cat people? Apparently they exist." One moment the Imperials and Nords are cursing out the Thalmor, but yet there's not a SINGLE case of racism against an altmer citizen in the entire game.

It's so inconsistent and devoid of all logic that it's ridiculous, laughable and downright immersion-breaking.

In a way yes, but it's probably due more to the lack of PC acknowledgement rather than an inherent dislike toward the player in Skyrim. A Khajiit for example can walk around the city freely and not be questioned by anyone despite that they are bared from entering the city. Meanwhile an Argonian can join the stormcloaks despite their hatred for anyone non-Nord and the fact non in their ranks apart from possibly the player is of non-Nordic decent. I just wished my gender and race where mentioned and factored more than it is, about the most I get is "Damned Imperial" from Stormcloaks.

I always found the racism towards dark elves to be dumb did'nt they fight against the Aldmeri dominion in the great war?

Finally, I found a fellow altmer that hates the thalmor but is okay with the concept of the dominion.

We do not know the full extent of his powers he could have had every ability thay the Skyrim Dovahkiin has. I font doubt he had something as equally destructive even if he did not have that ability.

YES... I would like to see this, where the charachter may have to do something special to have certain things happen for them. I mean when you get to Whiterun Kajits are not allowed in the city... no one knows you are the Dragon Born, yet they let you right in unescorted even. I just played through Dragon Age and they do a great job of making you feel the effects of your racial choice in the game, complete with dialogue options, though most of the quests remain the same, but you feel you are treated differenctly.

Tiber Septim conquered the whole of Tamerial and thus begain the third era. Despite the destruction of The Numidium. The Empire held together until the aftermath of the Oblivion crisis.
