    My brother, read the fucking lore. Atmorans (Nords) are the fallen gods who followed Shor. Elves are the fallen gods who followed Auri-El. Redguards come from a different Kalpa (rebirth cycle).

      Aka

      Are a different species

      Dumbass

      But I’ll give Bethesda credit, as others have noted the Nords have basically the same stats, so it’s more a bad look/Romabooism than a white supremacy thing.

        Aka Are a different species

        A.K.A. a different race, as per Tolkienian storytelling and myth-building

          I’m not going to argue the semantics of racism and their historical contexts in regards to human speciation with a gamer in “Suck Off Bethesda And Admit No Flaws” mode.

              I was wondering how much of a clown you’d have to be to compare the two settings for this discussion, is it a professional thing for you or are you a hobbyist?
