Sup folks, I was just thinking about the Grey Prince from Oblivion and then I tripped over the thought of being able to play as a mixed breed yourself. I realise that some fans that have been around since like Arena will probably be like 'Oh no no no my GOSH it would DESTROY the elder scrolls' but I think it would be cool and I would at least like to see a mod where the races can be mixed. I mean in Oblivion alone it was frequent to encounter couples of different races but when your creating your character you could only be fullblood of one race. I think the game would become more realistic and diverse if there were more mixed npcs around and if you could make your own it would be awesome, think of how different and unique your character would be in terms of looks and abilities. Just a thought that hit me so I thought Id bring it up. What do you guys think.

According to Elder Scrolls lore children of mixed parentage generally resemble their mother, so there is nothing wrong with using the basic racial templates: if your character's mother was a bosmer and their father was a breton then create the character as a bosmer and let their backstory influence how you play (maybe they're magically inclined).

I mean, technically the grey prince was just an orc with a weird skin tone. You can give yourself a weird skin tone when you make your character at the beginning, most people just don't realize it. I've seen people make jet-black khajiits (like a panther), completely white orcs, and even red & black (sort of darth maul looking) Argonians.

Beast races can't produce offsprings after having intercourse with men or mer. That's why they are kept as six slaves by certain nobility, read the in-game books for once, they are only several pages each.

As they are a different species, would that not be bestiality?

After much anolysis of living specimens, the Council long ago determined that all "races" of elves and humans may mate with each other and bear fertile offspring. Generally the offspring bear the racial traits of the mother, though some traces of the father's race may also be present. It is less clear whether the Argonians and Khajiit are interfertile with both humans and elves. Though there have been many reports throughout the Eras of children from these unions, as well as stories of unions with daedra, there have been no well documented offspring. Khajiit differ from humans and elves not only their skeletal and dermal physiology -- the “fur” that covers their bodies -- but their metabolism and digestion as well. Argonians, like the dreugh, appear to be a semi-aquatic troglophile form of humans, though it is by no means clear whether the Argonians should be classified with dreugh, men, mer, or (in this author's opinion), certain tree-dwelling lizards in Black Marsh.

The reproductive biology of orcs is at present not well understood, and the same is true of goblins, trolls, harpies, dreugh, tsaesci, imga, various daedra and many others. Certainly, there have been cases of intercourse between these "races," generally in the nature of [censored] or magickal seduction, but there have been no documented cases of pregnancy. Still the interfertility of these creatures and the civilized hominids has yet to be empirically established or refuted, likely due to the deep cultural differences. Surely any normal Bosmer or Breton impregnated by an orc would keep that shame to herself, and there's no reason to suppose that an orc maiden impregnated by a human would not be likewise ostracized by her society. Regrettably, our oaths as healers keep us from forcing a coupling to satisfy our scientific knowledge. We do know, however, that the sload of Thras are hermaphrodites in their youth and later reabsorb their reproductive organs once they are old enough to move about on land. It can be safely assumed that they are not interfertile with men or mer.

One might further wonder whether the proper classification of these same “races,” to use the imprecise but useful term, should be made from the assumption of a common heritage and the differences between them have arisen from magickal experimentation, the manipulations of the so-called "Earth Bones," or from gradual changes from one generation to the next.

This. Thats why even though the Grey Prince was mix raced, he still just looked like a pale Orc (the paleness was probably just because his father was a vampire anyway).

As they are a different species, would that not be bestiality?

Lmfao Imagine things like:
Orc + Khajiit
Khajiit + Argonian
