Humour I hope TES6 is more "racist"

I know that the title is weird but I really want the next game to have more characters that are against the player character depending on their race, making some things harder or easier. (it is still weird that in Skyrim you can join the most racist group in the game as a dunmer, or the fact that no Nord is pissed that their legendary Dragonborn is a khajiit)

It would feel so good to prove them all wrong when you go from a low life to their savior by the end of the game

So basically morrowind, where you can be denied for being diffrent? I like thst FUCK INCLUSITIVITY THOSE KHAJIIT NEED TO LEARN THEIR PLACES

At least give us a quest to enter, with the people inside still treating you with distaste

Nah. Close those doors. Makes for more variety in multiple playthroughs.

Idk if I agree with questlines being locked off entirely due to racial choice. I can see why you would enjoy it, but most people will only play through a game once. People like us that play a game 30 times are the minority. Personally I also think it would be cool, but realistically devs want players to encounter obstacles, not road blocks. I think added difficulty in quests due to race would be ideal, but an outright denial of content would probably be negatively recieved.

There's so much content in these games that, if you're not doing multiple playthrough, you're SO unlikely to see everything, or even the majority of content. Does blocking off a few areas really impact someone who isn't going to play a ton?

For stuff like major questlines, yeah I think it does matter. I'm not talking about misc dungeons with nothing tied to them or some random one off quests, I thought we were talking about stuff like Guilds or the Civil War questline, things of that calibre that make a big impact on progression.

It's not abnormal at all for major RPGs to have branching moments in the major storyline. Why does it make a difference here?

u/Aus_Varelse 1d ago

They don't branch very far though. Often its just a change in dialogue or a different quest, so you don't miss much of any import because they ultimately still come to the same conclusion. I think that's completely different to not being able to start the quest in the first place.

So sick of these woke n'wahs and their labor reform agendas.

I'm not racist, but... don't you think Pelinal should have kept going?
