The beast Races in Skyrim.

Post » Wed May 18, 2011 7:24 pm

I was wondering what you all thought on this issue it seems to me to be a big topic and maby this poll could fix that. I personaly want a Morrowind-Skyrim style beast race. What do you think?

Here's a novel idea; How about more Skyrim like, and forget both Morrowind and Oblivion. All that does is feed the Vs. threads and fueling the Oblivion/Morrowind wars.

Bias. Poll responses written with extra unnecessary "editorial comments" intended to steer you toward picking the option the poll's creator wants you to pick. This is often done by tryin to make one option sound "cool" and the other option(s) sound "lame." For example:

No like Oblivion cut and past a head and tail.
No like Morrowind beastly and more real and feral feeling.

The first obviously implies "Who cares, paste a funky head and tail on a person" while the second implies (equally obviously) "Make them fearsome, beast-like, and feral!" The implication is that one is superior to the other, and the options worded to make those picking the "wrong" option feel as if they've sold themselves short. The most obvious indicator of this is the second, OP-preferred option containing the term "more real" thus implying the first option to be like old rubber-mask movie monsters.

I typed it how I saw it but I tried to make the top one sound better re look.

I kind of want them to be more like Oblivion, either way though doesnt matter too much to me.

Civilized vs Feral, eh? They are humanoids. I suppose they are more man than beast. Wait...
Personally, I want the beast races to be barely human. I want them to act ferocious when intimidated, yet friendly when...you're friends. Argonian mages in Cyrodiil were the most polite npcs I've talked to.

True the best races seem to be nicer to me than alot of the others.
