Nords would rather enslave mer, if they have slaves at all.

I've never understood how argonians make good slaves, their ability to breath under water should make it to easy for them to escape. Kajiits on the other hand make great slaves. :biggrin:

What's a "cliff strider"?

Bird-like creatures in Morrowind that were very anoying because there were way to many of them. The devs even admitted that they didn't mean for there to be so many. In fact it was so bad there is somewhat of an easter egg in Oblivion where you here about Saint Juib and how he drove the cliff raders out of Morrowind (lol I wonder if there in Skyrim now).

P.S. The first person you meet in Morrowind is a dark elf named Juib and driving the cliff racers out basically makes him awsome :smile:

Edit: Oh lol your correcting him well nevermind then. Also this is the second time today I've seen someone mix up cliff racers and silt strider. I hope this isn't becoming a trend.

I said "cliff striders". It's in one of the poll options. Was kinda rhetorical, to point out that they mixed up cliff racers and silt striders.

As an argonian, I must protest against my enslavement. Oh, and khajiits are cool too.

I hope there are a few slave camps or something in skyrim, but with locals as well as beast races. Illegal slavery, potential questline fun :D

I used to blackmail Orvas, then I decided to just kill the guy instead in every session played. And freed the slaves in the various caves. In Oblivion+OOO, I always killed the Camonna Tong slavers and freed the Argonians. And I almost always play Khajiit.

I dont understand why so many people seem to have in-game racism. its ridiculous. When you look at it Argonians are actually one of the more intelligent races even though they apparently dont think like humans they are still intelligent. Khajitt are intelligent but have a little less control on impulse. and both of the races have advantages but i don't think enough people actually played with them. argonians had some of the biggest advantages for me. I almost never got sick. i was resistant to poisons like hell. and when i was a low level character and was about to die in a fight i just took a dip in the water and went to the bottom of the lake. if u followed to the bottom u wuld eventually drown but not me unless ur argonian of course. anyway i think slavery is wrong in or out of game especially since it really didn't seem to add anything in morrowind except make me not like the continent of morrowind as much. but it doesnt add anything to the game realy and i can't see that happening in skyrim. The nords are people who face enough racism as it is i dont think i will see them dishing it back out on others especially a race that prides themself on their strength and hardiness. they'll be damned to be receiving so much help from another race. i dont want it. no slavery and if ther eis it should mostly be POW's. nords enslaving other nords.

Actually I hope the argonians have enslaved those dunmer jerks in TES: Skyrim. If they have, then I'll be helping some local slavers catch more (well if it's an option). :laugh:

The thing with racism in games, although it adds a certain weird apeal, it can go too far. I play as an argonian because it rocks my socks, and I dont mind people saying I'd make a nice pair of boots... but did anyone play Dragon Age 2? BLAH BLAH BLAH MAGES BLAH BLAH BLAH ELVES BLAH BLAH BLAH QUINARI BLAH BLAH POLITICS... It drains from the game because it becomes some political issue. Slavery, too much

Touch the Khajiit or Argonians and you're screwed. Argonians annihilated the dark elves, and i'm sure the Renrijra Krin khajiit will be ready to kick ass.

It's probably elves that are gonna be enslaved in Skyrim. Nords hate elves. :P

Take that you filthy elves. I just noticed that I don't like any of the elf races (plus imperials). Altmer are arrogant whippersnappers, Bosmer are annoying little twerps, and dark elves, thoguh kinda cool, are real buttcracks.

...based on appearance...


I really hope you don't believe this is why others may hate a certain race. Plus, your use of, "and prejudice," hints to me that you have received that all too special "education" we in the states call school and tv. You live in Finland, clear your head, breathe that fresh northern air.

Though, really, the Dunmer ****** up enslaving Argonians and Khajiits. Say bye-bye to your homeland and previous way of life, the important without the slavery. "Don't shelter thine enemy in your own home." It seems interesting that a certain Skyrim town has basically taken the former post of Morrowind though. Nords can't possibly enjoy that.

This thread is completely preposterous.

Nobody is going to take it seriously. OP, if you can't see that Argonians are superior to every other TES race, we can't help you. You're way out of your element.


I am out of my element!? Hah! You are probably one of those lizard-fish! Go back to your "element", water, where I can fish you up with hooks!

What's a "cliff strider"?


By Azura, by Azura, by AZURA!

Argonians and Khajiit are people too.


O, what foolishness! How can a lizard be a man, as thus the same for a cat? People don't have gills, nor furry tails! They are but equal to animals and the like! And don't say people are animals, for we are not! We are peoples!

Option C:
Previously 'noble' Dunmer are forced to pay reparations to Khajiit and Argonian families they once enslaved.

I know that's not happening, but I hope slavery is long gone. It would be interesting to see some of the previously arrogant slave owning Dunmer working as lowly paid servants in some Nord homes. It would be a total twist: they'd be treated with more respect than they ever treated their slaves, but they'd still feel like a slave due to their arrogance.

Obviously not all Dunmer were slave owners and not all Dunmer supported slavery, but I'm talking about the former owners since Dunmer are long lived and doubtlessly some slave owners survived and fled to Skyrim after Black Marsh took Morrowind.

If slavery is in Skyrim I may put aside my "no murder" clause if there are no less violent means to free slaves. Considering Imperial law was in Skyrim until the civil war broke out though, I doubt there is slavery.

For reference:
Slavery has been abolished for over 200 years by the time of Skyrim. It's barely 150 years in the USA since it was abolished. Could you imagine people suddenly taking slaves in the Southern USA? I certainly couldn't, and it's just as preposterous if there are slaves in Skyrim in my opinion.

If the rebels have pushed off Imperial law and started to take Dunmer slaves, I'd go after the Nord owners. Slavers can't be honorable people. They'd have crossed a line that would make my character their grave enemy. I also plan to defend innocent mer from bigotry as well. Evil is evil, no matter the source. If that evil manifests as some Nords being bigots to mer, then those Nords are my character's enemy. Race doesn't matter.

People dont have gills? people dont have pointy ears, red eyes, live thousands of years and call themselves elves

Argonians I can tolerate. Khajiit? They are furry magnets. And thus must be purged.

i detest both of the disney caricatures. supposedly female argonians make good maids and six slaves but other than that both of them are useless.
