How does it make you feel to know that:
The Nerevarine
The Champion of Cyrodiil
The Dovahkiin
were all canonically Nords?
How does it make you feel to know that:
incorrect the nerevarine was an argonian, the CoC was a dark elf, and the dovahkiin was a high elf
The other games do a decent job making it plausible for the hero to be any race, but anything but a Nord in Skyrim feels out of place
Fuck off (((Mer))) before we turn Summerset into a giant oven
based
>play argonian or khajiit in morrowind imagining the eternal butthurt of the dunmer at the knowledge that their great hero and national idol reincarnated as a slave race
lmao imagine the cognitive dissonance
i know
Theyre all Elves.
All elves have been genocided
Nevarine = Dunmer
Champion = Imperial
Dovahkiin = Nord
Fug off.
Nerevarine: brings about the destruction of Morrowind and the Tribunal. It’s only fitting that he should be a Nord, the ancestral enemy to the Dunmer
CoC: The empire was founded by Talos of Atmora. It only makes sense for a son of Atmora to save it.
Skyrim: it’s the home of the Nords. Why wouldn’t the Dovakhiin be a Nord?
Todd confirms this.
Breton and Imperial LDB make sense too.
Actually, Nerevarine makes most sense as a Khajiit or Argonian.
This
Talos was a Breton, Imperial, and a Nord. All other choices are stupid.
doesnt make me feel anything bc im depressed and had anedonia for almost 10 years now
>son of Atmore
Lmao, everybody point and laugh at this retard
Even little kids know Kyne breathed nords down in Skyrim in the Dawn time
Out of Atmora is pseudohistory
>Talos of Atmora
Good one.
What’s Todd’s favorite race?
not the Redguards definitely
I found it really hard to roleplay as a high elf because being dovahkiin is a human thing and my elf hates humans
Why is Todd so racist?
There’s is exactly 1 (one) baste Altmer. No more.
>reincarnating as races that you consider to be talking farm equipment and degenerates
>making sense
What?
You don’t get to choose who you get reincarnated as. Besides the Nerevarine destroyed Morrowind. Azura likes the irony of having her people’s champion being a race the Dunmer hate like Khajiit, Argonians, and Nords.
>Besides the Nerevarine destroyed Morrowind
technically Vivec did
Azura and the Nerevarine set it in motion though
>you consider
When did Nerevar ever express such views
>Nords created by Kyne in Skyrim
>Nords conquered Altmora (Elf Wood) from the native elves there.
>Rename it Atmora
>Atmora gets too cold (no more of the distant green summers)
>Nords being the “Songs of the Return” back to Skyrim.
It’s not rocket science user.
>Azura and the Nerevarine set it in motion though
Vivec and the rest of ALMSIVI did put themselves in a place of power they shouldn't have had
their downfall and the consequences thereof were inevitable
The significance of the Prisoner in TES mythos is their indeterminate origin. You are nothing, so you can become anything.
This. Everybody knows that one always plays the race based on the game’s setting. The default race for ESVI is going to be a Redguard.
What if it’s Hammerfell and High Rock?
MC is a redguard who was raised by a breton man and his wife the mc's mother
Nah, they were all REDGUARDS
Meant for
>played an imperial in morrowind
>played a dunmer in oblivion
>played a dunmer in skyrim
n'wah
I see what you did there.
Altmer do not exist.
>Talos of Atmora
Literally a fairy tale made up by the Nords. Talos was a title granted by the Greybeards, there was no Talos of Atmora. Hjatli and his war in the Reach is mentioned though, and one of his dead soldiers thinks you're him because you're also Dragonborn.
If every TES hero is a prisoner then they should all be a khajiit
It’s valenwood
>>Champion = Imperial
>Dovahkiin = Nord
Obvious
>Nevarine = Dunmer
Less so. The dunmer as such weren't even there when Nerevar got btfo, and while the prophecy merely states that he will return as a foreigner and can be anything, it sounds strange if he's a dunmer.
Not really. The people of Vvardenfell are absurdly xenophobic, even to dunmer from the mainland still in Morrowind's borders.
They were all Imperials.
Only a Khajiit could be capable of the feats in these games. Other races are much too weak.
Fellas, I think we can all agree at least that none of them were *rcs.
>FACT: Khajiit are the most powerful race in all of Tamriel
Until one chad nord yelled at the moon once and turned all of them into mindless Sabre cats
or the time a murderous time traveling robot killed so many of them that the gods had to tell him to stop
All three of those were Altmer
thats kind of the point...
Sheogorath is listed as a Breton in Skyrim.
Therefore the COC was a Breton canonically.
The Dovahkiin is FACTUALLY a fat tiddy argonian slut who exclusively fucks Nord men.
>console designations having anything to do with canon
>the Nerevarine destroyed Morrowind
Not really. The Nerevarine's purpose was to undo the actions that ALMSIVI did. Everything that was going to happen happened, the Nerevarine was just the catalyst.
Would the heart of Lorkhan be tainted if Nerevar wasn't betrayed? It's doubtful. Would Baar Dau have impacted Morrowind if the Tribunal didn't mock the Daedra? No. Seeming as one of those two options are the most likely cause of the Red Year, it's entirely the fault and consequence of the Tribunal.
>CHIM
He’s a Breton because Sheo needed to be short like he was in Oblivion
That means there’s an 11th race of abominations called “elders” roaming around Skyrim
See
Nerevarine being a dark elf doesn’t really make much sense. The prophesy said that an outlander would be the Nerevarine. I know they still try to bullshit their way into it by saying that you were born outside of Morrowind so you still count as an outlander but it feels like a cop-out. The temple going apeshit and trying to kill you for heresy makes more sense when a dirty fetcher is claiming to be one of the greatest dark elf heroes of all time.
The cannonical race for each Hero is the race of the games setting
The Nereverine was a Dark Elf
The CoC was an Imperial
The Dragonborn was a Nord
TES Heroes aren't just prisoners, they are Prisoners (a title)
A man or woman that has seen beyond the bars of fate, shackling them to a destiny, and the knowledge and ability to break free of this cell. Once freed, they are the only ones with a truly open destiny.
the fluff is literally constructed in such a way that ANYTHING is plausible
You could say the same for dovahkiin being an argonian.
I don't really think Nords have too much of a problem with Argonians, the dock situation is actually done on the suggestion of Captain Lonely-Gale because he's worried about a race war breaking out between them and the Dunmer living in the Grey Quarter.
