To what extent do characters change depending on your race?

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 8:07 am

As in..


Do all the thalmor give you hugs if you are a high/wood elf? (or even dumner.. how do they act towards dumner?)

( i played as a khajit) do the khajit dislike you if you arent also khajit?

do the argonians under one of the cities like you if you are argonian?

do the orcish clans love you if you are an orc?

do the racist nords hate you if you are dumner?

why does a man ask me if i am "skyrim for nords" type if i am a khajit?

does everyone love you for being a nord?

Do all the redguards boast about being from hammerfell if you are also a redguard?

if you modded the game and became a dremora or other unplayable race- what happens ?

In one of the holds they are particularly racist against elves.

I'm playing a Nord and have met Kajit and they've been fine with me.

Orc strongholds welcome you automatically as an Orc.

For the most part people are nice to nords since most are.

I hear that if you're a high elf they call you impure.

( i played as a khajit) do the khajit dislike you if you arent also khajit?


They seem friendly to me.

Uncle Ruckus.

No.

Nothing, though I imagine you'd have to pick a base race for the game to recognize.

Ive noticed that I get friendly banter from most Nords who call me "kinsman" unless we fighting in which case I am a "traitor". Guards and others also give my nord friendly unsolicited advice.

My Bosmer gets a more distant colder greeting, nothing too threatening.

My high elf gets snubbed pretty hard by all other high elves including the Thalmor. The only friendly one so far was the female at the college and even she was insufferably snooty.

My Redguard gets a neutral response.

My imperial gets the most flak, but it's not that bad.

There are two Altmer at the College. One is snooty, the other is pretty cool to everyone. So cool I thought she was Dunmer for the longest time.

You'll get a handful of comments and orcs can enter orc strongholds without doing a quest.

There is almost no difference based on what race you play unfortunately..
