I'm feeling love, not hate.

So this is skyrim, land of the nords. We hear about how khajiit ar'nt loud in the cities, Argonians have to work in the fisheries or ports, Dumner have to live in the grey quarter yet I, a Dumner/khajiit/argonian can walk freely where I want, I can walk into the stormcloaks own city as a dumner and buy one of the nicest houses. I an Argonian can walk into solitude and buy the most expensive house.

What i'm trying to say is that Bethesda could have really made the atmosphere amazing by adding in hate towards your character. I mean to enter whiterun as a khajiit would be easy just say for the dragons, but they could have had like, secret tunnels into the other cities that had a hate towards a certain race, you could bribe guards to let you in. walk the streets of winterhold as a dumner and people could scould you, you would not be able to live anywere but the grey quarter. Add quests were if your an argonian you could start off as only being able to be a dock worker in Solitude but you could raise a rebelian or something, have it intertwine with the Civil war stromcloak side and have it end were you take solitude for the stormcloaks and you and your argonian friends are free.

I guess that's really radical ideas but their ideas, it's better than listning to a fellow Argonian complain about being stuck working and living in the ports of solitude and you just leaving, strolling through sollitdue to your super expensive house. I mean sure you have a few remarks but that's really nothing.

there could have been an option when picking a beast race or elf race if you wanted... I have no idea what it would be called, hate i guess towards your character. There would be no option to turn it off or on during the game due to if you buy a house that's not in the grey quarter as a dumner than it would just mess up.

What are your thoughts? would you like to have seen more hate towards beast races? I mean with Radiant A.I. it could happen. Post bellow guys!

This would be a brilliant thing to add to the game, however even without it you can still Roleplay these things. For example for the Khajiit thing, simply don't enter citys.

There are places to live. There are various bedrolls around Skyrim you can sleep in, and some even have campsites.

True... but you can't store your items any where, I mean there are safe places but their near and far between.

Not arguing or trying to be difficult just... pointing out flaws trying to make my idea seem better lol, all in good fun. but what i'm trying to get at is there really isn't any hate at all, even when your not dragonborn, sure a guard do a little one liner but that's it... kinda seems dumb.

There's the one guy in Markarth says it's your people's fault if you are a Mer, and, well that's all I've got. I miss "something on your mind, Goldenrod?"

khajiit's are alowed in the cities, only the caravans aren't because of their bad reputation of Skooma smuggering, Skyrim is simple to cold and far from Elsweyr to claim the interest of many khajiit who are not outlaws or caravan traders :smile:
also Argonians in Windhelm have been moved to the docks to avoid conflict with the Dunmer, wich is totally comprehensive due to the bad blood beetween the races (dunmer keeping Argonian slaves, argonians invading, burning, pillaging and killing everyone in Morrowind and etc q-)

but i agree with the OP to a degree, would be cool to have more recognition/racism towards the player's race, not just is the background or a few commentries here and there :smile:
