For it's juvenile form anyway. Before the metamorphogenosis.

thats the kind of mentality that made the nazis evil

on topic- imperials should look italian , dumner should be dark grey with skin of an uneven colour to fit their voices. orcs should be much less green. orcs should either go pale or dark, but not a massive green.

i would like khajits to be a variety of colours that real cats have. i would like argonains to be primarily blue but with a few red/green/grey members

I'm so hoping for a white Khajiit. Like white Tigers. That would so fit the snowy landscape.

In Oblivion, you could customize your character's skin color to an extent, however it could produce really strange results, depending on how you adjust it. Hopefully in Skyrim, changing skin tone will be less prone to causing such bizarre discoloration in certain areas.

Grrrrr I hated that! As someone with East Indian and Portuguese in my blood it drives me crazy that I can't give make my character look like me without making her skin look hideous... Oblivion skin tone sliders really favour the pale characters for some reason. :sadvaultboy: And I couldn't put on any makeup whatsoever without screwing up the entire look of my character and making her look like a dude. I am seriously hoping they fix that issue in Skyrim. :confused:

And the snow leopard or white tiger Khajiit would be pretty damn awesome.

And dunmer should go back to having grey skin, either like the shade of soot or a light smokey grey... :wub:

Nothing crazy.
Dunmer should stay blue.

Excuse me? Dunmer never should've been blue to begin with, at least not as the norm. Give me my gray ashlanders over those blue, pasty imperial converts.

yes! I want to be a snow leopard furred Khajit very badly

» Sat May 28, 2011 2:00 pm

Unless the Khajiit naturally start growing differently colored fur based on their environment I don't see why there would be white furred Khajiit just because it's a more snowy area. They aren't animals native to Skyrim, rather they are a people from Southern Tamriel. Granted the Khajiit choice in Skyrim could be one of the unknown types.

You could make characters of different skin colors in OB.

I had a red Orc named Hellboy once. I had a light skinned half Redguard half Nord character (Redguard base) I used to play.

And yeah, i've had a blue Dunmer. With dark blue hair.

I don't see what the problem would be with mixed races either. Especially mixed race humans, which is natural anyway.

There are so many different types of Kajiits too. I'd love more choice in creating them. Like lion or leopard like Kajiits or whatever.

Well, men can't get other men pregnant. I don't know who taught you how it works, but that's definitely not how it works.

when a man and a women love each other very much....

Goodness, that was horrible in Oblivion.
Of course you should be able to adjust your skin color, but only in a reasonable, given margin. No more dark red imperials please.

Albino redgaurd? That's ridiculous.

they exist in the real world

lol yeah i know, would still be really awesome

There are albino blacks, even though they are hunted down by black blacks for their skin to be used in magic potions.

So there's no lore about half-reptilian humans?

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Notes_on_Racial_Phylogeny

"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."

Also, what would a half argonian half khajit look like ?

"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."

So, Notes on Racial Phylogeny suggests that Men and Mer are interfertile, but offspring will resemble the mother thus the seeming lack of large numbers of obvious "half-breeds":

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.

And as quoted above, it suggests Khajiit and Argonians are unknown quantities with regard to offspring, Barenziah's antics aside.

Orcs also get an interesting treatment:

"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."

Orcs being Mer, one would think the standard Man/Mer rules would apply...of course it could simply be that other Mer are trying to deny the kinship. :shrug:

Albino redgaurd? That's ridiculous.

Well there are plenty of albino black people where I come from. In fact my ethnicity is known for high albino prevalence.... just sayin

And Gernac i know exactly what you speak of but you do understand this only happens in a specific area correct? And its illegal. Punishable by death

like what if a redguard man slept with a nord or a redguard man seplt with a orc

If a redguard man slept with a nord woman the baby would be nord. if a redguard man sleeps with a orc the baby will be a orc.

Nothing crazy.
Dunmer should stay blue.
