What race do you hate?

Post » Sat Dec 26, 2009 8:15 am

So what races do you hate in Morrowind? I hate argonians and khahits because I want to kill them all when I hear them say "The prey approaches" etc. That line annoys me so much. They both have their stupid lines.

I also hate dark elves because the ordinators say "I'm watching you, scum". I seriously want to kill them too when they say that while I am walking around.

I love how the Kajiits and argoines are shown. It is very much how I would design the characters.

I just hate the Dark Elfs because they are always complaining about something and its annoying.

Why all the Dunmer hate? You n'wah! They're my favourite race >.<

Anyway, I don't hate any race, I just never play as an Orc.

I've always hated Imperials, because I started playing the Elder Scrolls in Oblivion.

However, here in Morrowind, the Dark Elves are close contenders to the Imperials.

I never really liked the Argonians, Kajhiit and Orcs much. I always prefer either more human-like or smarter types.

Argonians. They are only in these games to make us familiar with the reptilians :gun:
Before knowing that I actually liked them :dry:

I don't hate any races, but single members of said races annoy me.

Bosmer, because they are idiots: Fargoth and Galadriel first of any other. Death to them!

I like when MCA give me the opportunity to kill a Bosmer footpad, thug or bandit, i massacre them with a ferocious Nord smile into my lips, and this isn't racism, only justice.

Definitely Bosmer, just because every single one of them has a squeaky voice and acts like a creepy back-alley rapist.

I voted breton due to the fact that when I first played (xbox) I saw a female friend of mine playing as a female breton and took a look at the racial skills and thought "why not..." then tried it and couldn't get over sounding like a lil wimpy-B boy when the male breton cries from getting hit. I was sooooo angry! Now I like the fact that I can alter these things with the CS, but I've grown fond of the dunmer since then.

One thing about MW to give Bethesda props tho: it engages a players emotions!!!

Depending how you play the game, the Ordinators can be very nice (as Ordinators go). They've greeted all of my characters with "Greetings, citizen, how may I help you?"

I don't really hate any of the races but lets look at it this way:

There are awesome khajit ,imperials, nords, breton females, dark elves and high elves are just plain awesome ("and there I was... NAKED!!")
Argonians and Redguards are decent, not as many noteworthy individuals but all-around pretty cool.
I dont like wood elves too much but the books involving them feature some awesome Bosmer characters.


Saying that... All the orcs in the game just svck. They are stupid, uninteresting and either imperial dogs (all with the same imperial chain cuirass too) or some cult of some dumb daedra that isnt even really a daedra anymore because it got dropped on its head when it was kid. Did I mention they were stupid.

P.S. THANKS FOR THE "ROCK"... IDIOTS!!

P.P.S. OF COURSE THE ORC DID IT. WHAT KIND OF ARGUMENT IS "GROBAK NO MURDER GROBAK SWEARS HE DIDNT"

I can't say I dislike any race, there are awesome members of all of them dotted around Vvardenfell. I've never been able to make a Khajiit, Argonian or Orc character I like though.

The Altmer get on my nerves. The Bosmer have silly-sounding voices. I play a Redguard though... we basically only get love from other Redguards.

None, as I am a paragon of tolerance and understanding!

Okay, Bosmer. And Quarians.

No. I cannot hate any race. Or any person. Or any computer game character. Hate is much too exhausting and distressing.

I ignore bosmer. That's much more relaxing.

(The females have a really annoying voice in the german game - and the males too.)

I hate Argonians. I always have. I don't know exactly why, maybe it's because I hate lizards in real life, but I hate the Argonians and my charcters in both Morrowind and Oblivion are "lizard hunters".

The Nords and Orcs are really stupid, but at least the Orcs aren't boastful and pretensious about it. The Nords are more like "Yeah, well I'm a BIGGER moron.....", and proud about it. So far, I've found it impossible to scrounge up the motivation to play a Nord. At least I gave an Orc character a try for a while, before boredom struck.

I've played and enjoyed Imperial, Argonian, and Dunmer characters immensely, as well as played Redguard, Breton, and Altmer characters with reasonable enjoyment, and played but not really "gotten into" the Kajiiti mindset. I made a Bosmer character, but the squeeky voice (especially when hit) irked me to no end, and I deleted the character. I seem to recall that Fargoth had several "accidents" in the next few games. The Breton wasn't much better in that respect, but not so bad that I couldn't deal with it, and that was about the only thing I didn't care for (other than perhaps a curious lack of hairstyles that aren't half bald). I found a serious shortage of Redguard hairstyles that looked even "acceptable", but the characters were enjoyable to play otherwise. The Altmer's weakness to magicka was a hinerance in a lot of cases, and he never could deal with all of those MCA-spawned Mabrigash (Ashlander outcast witches) throwing Poisonbloom spells in quantity, plus I wasn't overly fond of the "attitude".

At the end of it, I'd have to rank Nords at the absolute bottom of the list, followed not far behind by Bosmer. Either Orcs, Kajiiti, or Altmer would be a distant third. I certainly wouldn't want to see any of them removed from the game, though.

I always found the argonians somewhat annoying. Also the typical barbarian retardation of the Nords. It's also somewhat disappointing that wood elves are described as irritating clowns rather than elegant and honorable like elves (Mirkwood/Lorien elves, etc) in Lotr.

[HitlerMode]All of them but the Arrryan ones!!![/HitlerMode]


What has hating all the non-whites do with Hitler? These misconceptions are scaringly common.

A quote from him, for example regarding the Asians:

"In saying this, I promise you I am quite free of all racial hatred. It is, in any case, undesirable that one race should mix with other races. Except for a few gratuitous successes, which I am prepared to admit, systematic cross-breeding has never produced good results. Its desire to remain racially pure is a proof of the vitality and good health of a race. Pride in one's own race—and that does not imply contempt for other races—is also a normal and healthy sentiment. I have never regarded the Chinese or the Japanese as being inferior to ourselves. They belong to ancient civilisations, and I admit freely that their past history is superior to our own. They have the right to be proud of their past, just as we have the right to be proud of the civilisation to which we belong. Indeed, I believe the more steadfast the Chinese and the Japanese remain in their pride of race, the easier I shall find it to get on with them. (13th February 1945)"
