i'm probably inviting a virtual flogging by even mentioning this, but i really think the argonians and the khajiit should be banished from the ES universe. they're absolutely ridiculous, even for a fantasy game. as much as i try to understand or at least appreciate their relevance, it becomes almost impossible to ignore just how out of place these two races seem within the tolkien-tamriel universe. perhaps this is more an issue with the lore than the narrative, but i almost think they'd be better suited within the context of a futuristic sci-fi. for some reason that feels more appropriate for a cat and a lizard, or maybe i've just seen one too many episodes of star trek.
maybe the idea was to bring in another race to layer the whole man/mer power struggle, but i'm not buying it. i'd imagine it's too late now, at least in terms of future ES games (though i'd certainly be willing to look the other way) but these overgrown lizards and cat-people are so dopey and cheesy they almost ruin what is otherwise an interesting balance on the struggle between mer and man.
So, because you don't like beat races they should be banished?
All of their lore wiped out?
What about Black Marsh and Elsweyr?
No, they shouldn't be removed as they have some of the most interesting lore and best provinces.
