07:09 AM? It say 08:09 for me...

Ah, wait. You're in Britain.

Hadvar: "We'll make sure your remains are sent back to Morrowind."

Me: "Uh, as a last request, could you send me somewhere, I don't know, a little less explodey? The whole place kinda went kerfuffle when Red Mountain erupted."

Lol yeah.

My Altmer went: "But my whole reason for coming north was to get as far away from those Thalmor as possible!"

I can't remember what he told my Orc. I just got curious.

"I'm sorry. We'll make sure your remains are returned to the now sacked and smoking ruin of Orsinium"

Who gets to choose where they are born?


I am usually in favor of whatever origin best suits the developer's main story arc. As such, I have no issue with restricted (or even assigned) backgrounds; family relations, race, gender or even pre-existing personality traits.
*It's whatever the role is... If it's an interesting role to play, then I'm usually fine with it.

I want to create an Argonian now just so I can name him Prada!

I actually love this idea. The more background that we could add to our character and then let the game world recognize that would be awesome.

but every argonian has to at least visit black marsh once in his/her life to get their name and lick the hist sap, so you are from black marsh, not to mention he is sending the remains to the race's ancestral home, never did he say that black marsh was your home, he was sending yout o your race's home

p.s. argonians are the true kings of tamriel!! praise the hist, prase sithis, hail the proper overlords!

Oh I'm all for that... but that last detail is easier said than done. Arcanum did it to an extent, but it was accomplished by manipulating the PC's stats; the rest being largely implied.

You mean hatched?

But what? But that means you'd want to be buried there? Why? Why not buried with your ancestors, and more importantly, with the Hist?

Thats assuming there's any other option - who's to say other races will ALLOW Argonians to be buried in their graveyards?

What does the day and age have to do with it? It doesn't take state-of-the-art tech to smoosh together a bunch of numbers from a database. Games (pen and paper) that do that have always existed, and its not like the math found in the tables and tables of data in such games is difficult to implement in a computer.
Its either a desirable (and affordable within the creative / writing budget) game feature (in which case you can implement it at any tech level from paper to holodeck) or its not.

Hmmm,... I actually talked to a sixy looking Argonian girl in Skyrim earlier!

This joke lacks a punchline or is it simply to shock Khajiit?
