Races Don't Affect the Story Much

Post » Mon Mar 25, 2013 3:53 am

If there is one thing that sort of bugs me about the narrative part of the game is that no matter what race you are, usually nothing in particular happens differently. For example, how most if not all Holds frown upon Khajits entering the city, and I think to the point where they are not allowed in, yet as a khajit yourself you can enter when you feel like it without no one telling you to get out.

They probably did this on purpose for the sake of affecting gameplay, though maybe there could be minor awalk arounds out of situations regarding your race, but it still bugs me just a tad. Maybe someone else wonders the same?

Ay, I was extremely dissapointed when the Alik'r didn't acknowledge me as a fellow Redguard. The only race specific dialogue I've seen is the Orcs at a stronghold telling my Orc that he had forgotten the ways of Malacath or something.

It's only the Khajitt caravans that aren't allowed into cities, as they sell illegal drugs.

It was the Khajiit caravans, not Khajiit in general, that weren't allowed in the holds.

No problem, just kinda getting tired of people overlooking that small detail.

I was also disappointed. It's much more obvious in the main quest, where playing as a Battlemage Breton, Pure Mage Female Khajiit and Warrior Bosmer didn't bother anyone at all. I mean, this is the Nords' cultural hero archetype. Why doesn't anyone deny my status as Dragonborn? (I mean the shouting and everything's obvious, but I should have to prove it to them)
