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.
