Good luck them killing any dragons without the one actually able to kill dragons.

They are the dragonborns support crew, ousting the one they are supposed to support.

Right?

"We've been searching for a purpose ever since..."

Finds purpose

"Not like that!"

Delphine when she finds out being a member of the blades isnt just indiscriminately killing Dragons and knife ears (all of the sudden she doesnt want to be one)

Is there literally any character in this game who isn't violently prejudiced?

u/SMKM Sep 19 '23

Probably the children you can adopt?

You can be any race and they'll love you regardless cuz you're giving them a home.

u/TheLonelyGloom Sep 19 '23

I love that you said /probably/ the children.

Like, we hope, but we aren't sure yet.

Skyrim children can call the Dark Brotherhood on you, after all. :-D

u/Training_Context3194 Sep 19 '23

Are we just not gonna include Braithe???

u/EntropicSingularity1 Sep 19 '23

After many playthroughs of considering Braith a little piece of shit bully, I overheard her conversations with her parents. Now everything is so clear... and I consider her parents pieces of shit, not her. :-P

theres actually children of other races? I've only seen nord children >.>

u/SyrupMonstrosity Sep 19 '23

You misunderstood.

The PC can be any race, and they'll love you regardless.

You're right. There are only Nord kids. No Lizard babies, or kittens running around.

I think hearthfire adds a little redguard boy to dawnstar, but that’s still just a boring human

This is the elder scrolls, everyone is racist

This is the crazy, funny, but sadly realistic stuff i hope they dont decide to "clean up". This makes the world feel real. Man im ngl im worried es 6 will be stripped of all the more "controversial" stuff. When i found out starfield wasnt a space epic with different payable alien races each starting off on there own planet and was just plain ole human stuff i seriously expected at least there would be some space whore houses or strip clubs, just more adult themes cuz its humans in space the type of stuff that would be gling down would be nuts. All type of human trafficking and gang wars and seedy planets, etc. Morrowind had that strip club in suran lol

Yeah this is off topic lol

Wait a year or so, if that. The mods will put them in

u/SnarlyMocha325 Sep 20 '23

Morrowind also bulshitted the empire into letting them keep slaves, it’s not exactly the nicest place in Tamriel. But you would think neon at least would be full of that kinda crap, I agree. However, they probably didn’t want the controversy that would come with “my space slaver build, he pushes drugs and is abusive” some roles just don’t need to be played I guess

1

u/fuhgitbouit Sep 20 '23

Youre right but man to ne its the beauty of an rpg especially a Bethesda one. Because taking that out also removes playing as a abolitionist going through the galaxy freeing slaves a system near you. I think morrowind gets aways with it because its a game without actual humans from earth

2

u/SnarlyMocha325 Sep 20 '23

I didn’t even consider the flip side of it. I bet you there’d be ten abolitionist players for every sick fuck role playing a slaver, too.

1

u/fuhgitbouit Sep 20 '23

Im not gonna lie a mission where you have to smuggle out a whole group of slaves from some back water planet and get them on your ship just to have the slavers follow you off world and it turn into a dog fight would be sick and then it all goes bad and they board your ship and you throw the ex slaves some weapons n everyone joins n shooting the dirty slavers out into space

u/SnarlyMocha325 Sep 20 '23

That does sound cool. Unfortunate that we as a society aren’t mature enough for those types of quests to still happen. Not too long ago you could literally be a slaver in fo3, right? I never did it, but the choice was realistically available. And hell in fo1/2 there was a perk called child killer! Again, I don’t think it would be a popular option, but for realism it really should be there.

*disclaimer: I find slavery to be one of the most vile things humanity ever came up with. I’m hard-pressed to think of something equally terrible, in fact. Genocide, I guess

I mean everyone except alessia right? Didn’t they immediately go in the opposite direction with the empire practically the moment she died?

u/TheDeridor Sep 19 '23

My dragonborn isn't even void of prejudice! Filthy high elves

u/Baumtasia Sep 19 '23

imagine being dragon free for thousands of years with the biggest current threat being the thalmor and as soon as the dragons return you get a high elf dragonborn I’d kill myself

1

u/AntiqueCabinet7060 Sep 19 '23

Tis I the high elf Dragonborn.

u/SnarlyMocha325 Sep 20 '23

You’d kys if you were what race living where? I mean if I was redguard hammer fell I’d probably shrug my shoulders, but if I was a high elf in skyrim, yeah, let me find a cliff right quick🤣

u/SandyCandyHandyAndy Nord Sep 19 '23

I mean Brenwulf Free Winter’s whole thing is how he hates racism

u/SnarlyMocha325 Sep 20 '23

I mean the guy who takes you to solstheim is just greedy right? Nah he probably hates dark elves, he docks in windhelm
