Show Off Your Mixed Race Characters

Post » Sat Dec 17, 2011 1:37 am

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but this sort of thing doesn't actually happen in TES lore. The child takes on the traits of the mother, and very rarely have very slight resemblances from the father's race. Argonians and Khajiit are also not capable of breeding with men, mer or eachother. Only their own kind.

Not to rain on your parade, it's a cool console trick, but that's the way it is and personally I try to stick to the lore as much as possible.


But it's always confused me about the Bretons. I get that this is the accepted lore, but if that's the case how come the Breton race was born? I thought they were the result of interbreeding between elves and humans.

Mer means elf. All Dwemer were mer, but not all mer are Dwemer. All mer started out as Aldmer.


Also known as Ayleids, if I'm not mistaken

There are no "Half-breeds"... but I don't think it's 100% conversion either. Likely, the father passes on 1-10% of his racial qualities: Hardly noticable within the first few generations. But, over hundreds or thousands of years of interbreeding, the compounding interracial qualities create a distinct race.

You are mistaken. Altmer and Aldmer are the same race, just as Nords and Nedes are the same race. The reason the names changed is because of millenia of evolution (Whether magical or mundane).

"Nede" is to "Nord" and "Aldmer" is to "Altmer" is like how "Dog (Canis Lupus Familiarus" is to "Wolf Canis Lupus" - All breeds of Dogs are evolved from Wolves, yet we still have Wolves.

No, the Ayleids descended from the Aldmer, as did the other mer species. The Ayleids, after their fall from power, still persisted in Cyrodiil and became known as Wild Elves.

A Breton + Altmer is a Breton. :) and that picture is probably much more realistic to what Bretons look like then Bethesda's copy paste of Imperial base humans, Bretons with no slightly pointy ears? bah.

That's something freaky.... I think the muppets have a new recruit.

Not at all what I had in mind, lol. I had imagined a cool blue argonian with dunmer eyes and possibly darker horns. That.... that was just hideous. Does it randomly swap attributes between races or is it only determined by the order in which you choose the race?

It seems to be determined by the order, I had an Argonian and then used the command to make him a Dunmer. Sadly using "player.setrace argonian" on any other race just transforms the race into the default argonian, no mixed features (at least in my game).
