Argonians are the worst because they are selectively bred by their glorious Dunmeri slavemasters to be retarded and inefficient. Though this hampers Morrowind's economy greatly, it is widely considered too hilarious to not do.

>>6237 Khajiit caravans aren't allowed into towns because they're mostly made up of actual thieves, outlaws, and skooma addicts. iirc many are exiles from Elsweyr. I think it would have been nice to have a few occasions where guards confuse you for a caravanner or something though.
As for Argonians, that's just a small migrant worker population in Windhelm, not really indicative of Skyrim's attitude as a whole. The few other Argonians in Skyrim seem to be well enough off and respected, namely the inn owners in Riften. I don't really think the Nords have had much contact with Argonians as a whole to form much general cultural stigmas.
It's the Dunmer players that I think Bethesda let get off too lightly, Nords haaate themselves some Darkies. There should have been merchants denying you service and drunken Nords trying to lay the beat down on you around various corners. Though I suppose it could be argued that they're a bit more sore targets after their whole homeland destruction and all, so maybe everyone's just giving them an easier time in 4E.

Why were things like this never implemented? The engine should know what race you are at all times, so i see no reason as to why certain races or npcs wouldn't have different reactions towards you. I guess racism is too heavy of a topic to include in an elder scrolls game now that they're probably going to be more progressively watered down.

There was quite a bit of racial tension in Skyrim what with it being the Nord homeland and such, it just wasn't really ever directed at the player. Personally I feel like the entire series could put a little more emphasis on the player's race than it does.
You'd think an Argonian Nerevarine would be considered pretty differently to a Dark Elf, for instance. Or a high elf dragonborn. Really the main quests make a lot less sense when you don't play as the continent's native race.

Yeah, but that would go against Bethesda's design philosophy that all NPCs must always recognize you as the stalwart hero of the story upon first sight, and proceed to vigorously suck your balls and tell you how awesome and special and skilled you are for completing mundane tasks at every opportunity.
Morrowind wasn't exempt from this, but at least there were factions which didn't like you no matter what you did, and many others who treated you like the pleb you are until you proved otherwise.

That's what I liked about TESIV. Martin was the hero and you were his loyal companion. You took a backseat in the main quest and had to actually earn your fame outside of that. Each locale and faction gave you an honorific for your deeds (Hero of Kvatch, Divine Crusader, Sheogorath, etc.) You had no catch-all title that everyone knew you by.
TESV felt the most guilty of sucking off the hero relentlessly. It felt like all you were known for was the Dragonborn, which you didn't actually earn through trial. You were born into it. The whole game felt patronizing for doing garbage quests with no challenge.

The Nerevarine is very interesting as a concept, because he was originally an outlander, and so was shunned. So even if your character is a Nord, who one Dunmer even questions if they have souls, the fact you're mantling Nerevar, you can do that as someone who isn't Dunmeri.
Don't even get me started on Stormcloaks. They should have made that a Nord only line.
Now Redguard, only one interesting Redguard in history, that being Hoonding and his mantle, Cyrus. Even then, that's not in-game. Why anyone would play as a Redguard in TES is just beyond me.

It's been established that The Hist and the Argonians are the same thing. The Hist sap is the Hist's soul made physical and consumed by an Argonian.

Don't travel to Whiterun much, do you? Here's Brenuin. Kematu and the Alik'r are aimless wanderers, just there to hunt one woman, most likely that she was right, for the Thalmor. Amren doesn't have a job. He just wanders Whiterun. His wife Saffir doesn't do anything either but hang around and read books. It's a wonder Braith even gets to eat. Captain Aquilius, not even an Imperial Captain. He's just a bandit, like Eriana, one of the hunters after Sinding. Endon of Markarth just hangs out at the Silver-blood Inn, getting shitfaced. Surprise, he's a fence. Falion does nothing but hang out at his house or the marsh, and cures vampires. Haldyn is a pirate, which is just a violent thief. Isran moved into the abandoned Fort Dawnguard, but doesn't do shit but stand around. Speaking of the fort, Jayri just camps outside and doesn't do shit either. Typical fucking porch monkies. Namasur doesn't even have a purpose in Castle Volkihar. He's just a leech suppose that's another word for vampire . Thalmorr lazily wanders the DB headquarters, dishing out contracts that "nobody has time for", even though he should get off his black ass and go do them himself. Razelan of the Thalmor Embassy? A worthless drunk. Rochelle the Red kidnaps whomever you married and demands ransom. Salma does nothing but camp outside with that piece of shit Beem-Ja. Tonilia, a fence, a thief. Umana, a tomb raider who's "had enough of killing" but attacks anyway. Stupid bitch. Yisra burned herself to death testing out a spell. Generally, the rest of the redguards in the game are few merchants, but mainly farmers or bandits. Most of those farmers were too stupid not to charge into dangerous ruins, and now lie dead. Lets not forget about the dumb niggers of Frostflow Lighthouse.

when I first played morrowind I went Argonian, because unlike the cliche options I could be a dinosaur. However I came depressed in the game when I realized the amount of racial hatred people directed at me because of my race, especially an island 50% Dunmer. This was especially tough coming from a game like Zelda where everyone was upset but would like me if I fixed their problem.
I learned an important life lesson from this game. People don't hate you because you didn't fix their problem or think you caused it, sometimes they just hate you inherently for who you are. When I realized that it was quite liberating.
Also Argonian is sweet for immunity from diseases and poisons, which is key if you're like me and treat your character like an off road jeep.

I often roleplay as an argonian. A being made from leakage of the un-kalpa, an amaranth Hist failed to create. A dormant observer of alien world outside my other-dimensional world bleeding through deep marsh wounds. The Hist is silent and I wait for their message, for their will to be done. These reptile eyes observe Tamrielian being. My creation is a metaphysical impossiblity enabled only by transcendent Hist. My very life, religion, proof of the promissed land - they are hidden deep within Sithis, for they are but are not of this world. I am somewhere where other mortals can't go. I'm a fluid being of becoming, a creation of the void. And I'm the most interesting being to roleplay as.
Fuck your no beast races. Only a fetcher, a casual and an amateur lorefag would say they're incomprehensible. Having beast races is not pandering and is not an excercise in futility. Roleplaying a khajiit and argonians is bitching. The most exotic thing you can do.
If you're pulling the 'incomprehensible' argument, then you should allow only Bretons, Imperials and Nords. Fuck that. By the way, that argument is bolocks. There's always at least a few who 'get it'.
