Of Argonians and Khajiit

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.

I'll show you useless.

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.



There is still slavery in every country... people will enslave others as long there are people who get their jollies from it.

Argonians are awesome, so are khajiit. They were slaves in that game only because the dunmer are racists bastards. the superior master race.

Fix'd

:P

As much as i hate the fact that Argonians conquered Morrowind i still thinks it's bad with slavery, and that one of the reasons for Argonians to hate the Dunmer was because of the slave raids.

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!

People are animals. I don't even know if evolution exists in TES like it does in the real world, but regardless, all living creatures were made essentially the same way.

I like how we have prejudices for races in a game. It has always entertained me.

Lemme guess, you failed biology?

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

I consider people who whine about furries on these forums hilarious hypocrites, given that they are often the same people going "WEREWOLVES WEREWOLVES MUST HAVE WEREWOLVES I WANNA BE A WOLF OMG!" :meh:

I didn't even realize that was a mean post against furry fans until you quoted it. Yeah it's kind of ridiculous to be irritated all because fans of anthropomorphic animals would want to play... anthropomorphic animals (big surprise there). The funny thing is Argonians are furry magnets too and he didn't even realize it. :)

I don't know that he was entirely serious about that though.

My choice on the poll depends on whether I'm playing a Dunmer or Nord for Skyrim. As a Dunmer I'd of course think Argonians beneath me, but a Nord would have more respect for individual freedoms. Pretty sure I'm playing Nord first, so that's how I'm voting.

(Please tell me this is all ironic?)

Slavery is back?

Time to dust out my slaver killing knife...


This. Though aside from Shadowscales I don't really like argonians. I've never liked Khajiit until I saw the pic of one from Skyrim. I might actually make one now.

1st of all
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
This thread is hilarious

2. Racial slavery seems a bit old.
I would prefer if Dunmers (they could have settlements in east Skyrim) would have more clasic type of slavery
Millitary and economical slavery.
Millitary- basically war prisoners who are used as manual labor (I want those slave bracers back)
Economical- slaves for debts, could be used in various positions with or without slave bracers
These types of slavery were 1st and seems more logical than racial slavery (and more diverse)

P.S. and I want alchemical ingridients from sentient beings- argonian skin, khajiit eye, dunmer liver, altmer heart and so on :hehe:
