also what happened to horkers? they used to be cute and cuddly almost now there like EEEP

It was never a remake for obvious reasons, It has its similarities as Solistiem (SP) is a island just off the coast of Skyrim.

And evolution can change things dramatically in 200 years.

Nords call any sea-mammal a horker.
The ones we see in skyrim Are not the seal-like creatures of Solstheim.

Nope

Yep, the hokers in Skyrim are pretty ugly but you can get a wife instead.

Yes, we look nothing like the monkeys we evolved from 200 years ago... in 1812... LOL

OMG, Skyrim takes-place in 1812... I know those NPC's and that stray dog! I think that is the INN at Riverwood. Amazing how much dogs have changed in 200 years! Damn evolution!

Our ears do seem smaller now... What? Did you say something paw?

But we live on Earth not Nirn. Things happen differently there. Like flames from your hands!!!!

...flames from your hands is not something that normally happens here on earth?...i think im going to go see a docter now

What? Im no Evolution expert but i don't think 1 million years would make the Blood Moon to Skyrim change.

BUT, we could just assume they are a different species.

Rules and rationality are for reality... They have no place in fantasy worlds...

Like he said... Each game is a new game... They just contain some elements from previous games... apparently to save some production time only... Not for in-depth game reality.
