Stop with the stereotypes

Hello Everybody

One of the most annoying things in TES for me are the stereotypes.
Such as "He's a Breton he can't be a warrior" and "He's an Orc he can't be a Mage",you know how it is,there are countless cases in which people think there is " Race--->Class ".

Well,I think it's annoying.
Let me begin with an example,the Orc in the College of Winterhold,Urag Gro-Shub.
He's a librarian,a Mage,and guess what,he's an Orc.
Another example,there was a Mages Guild in Orsinium and the Arch-Mage was an Orc and a Necromancer.
Of course I can bring you countless examples of these things but I think you got the idea.

I don't think i've seen anyone do this.

i do see a lot of people choose characters based on a race lore and society / culture though. That is people's freedom of choice and many like to get involved into the lore of a races and the provinces. In fact there is an entire section on the site to discuss exactly that.

That is why many choose a Nord warrior or a Breton mage etc. They are getting into the lore and feel of the game. That doesn't stop anyone doing the opposite and I've not seen anyone tell someone else they "can't" make what they want

I don't think I've seen anyone say these things are 100 percent true, but Bretons are better mages then warriors as a whole, and the only orc mages we really see are shamans and the occasional odball.
