Honest reply, Argonians

>Some Argonians taken in from birth to become master assassins, the Shadowscale.

High Elves are close too. Besides Thalmor/Nazi relations, High Elves are definitely influenced by Germans. They have a society of geniuses and creativity while at the same time has an amazingly disciplined military.

Was anyone else disappointed that the NPC's almost never addressed your character's race, and your race had no effect on the quests whatsoever?

My first playthrough was a High Elf character, and I thought I'd join the Stormcloaks just for shits and giggles. I was expecting some kind of "A traitor to your own kind? That could be useful" dialogue bit, or at least some hostility from the Thalmor-hating Nords, but I was able to walk right in like I was just another fucking viking.

I hope the next game does this better, or at least makes an effort like Oblivion

Orcs can be straight up broken on an optimized melee build.
>>
>>340674983
Has race ever significantly changed NPC interaction in Elder Scrolls? It would be great if it did but I think at most they just slightly change how some NPCs greet you and still let you do anything, even playing as Dunmer in Morrowind did nothing to alter the quests.
>>
>>340674740
They're not a separate species, they're still human. Technically all humans on Tamriel came from the settlers of Skyrim. Reguard have darker skin due to the region they adapted to much like people in hotter regions. Bretons apparently came from humans and elves interbreeding which is why they're more proficient in magic than all the other human races.

>>340675482
Aren't you automatically accepted into the orc tribes in Skyrim if you play as one?

That's always been a problem in every elder scrolls game. In Morrowind you could join the dunmer religion without being a dark elf. The only thing race changes are small lines of dialogue.

Difficulty doesn't make the game more challenging, just more tedious. Enemies are massive bullet (blade?) sponges and do a bit more damage but all you need is a shitload of restore health/stamina/magicka potions. Otherwise you'll end up running out of resources before killing anyone and have to run around for a few seconds waiting for them to regenerate.

It's buy to play now. It's a feast if you like lore, especial regarding less popular races such as orcs, bosmers and argonians. They've been fleshed out a lot compared to the main games.

But it's not for everyone and people expecting Skyrim 2.0 will be disappointed.

Its bretty gud. The quests are well written enough to be entertaining, and the mechanics are solid, with plenty of space for specializing any type of character you want to make.

But dont expect to enjoy PVP until you are a max veteran level super soldier, or you'll just get insta-stomped by other max veteran level super soldiers
>>
>>340678450
I remember when it came out normies critised it for not having a good enough combat system like the one skyrim had. Thing is combat system is way ahead of "skyrim's keep swinging or casting the same spell until everyone dies" combat. I think their problem was that it didn't "feel" as good as skyrim. What the fuck? You seriously think the combat is bad because you camera doesn't move as much when you swing your weapon. Fucking casuals, man.

Well... you could attempt to every quest in the game, but then you'd be an old man. After completing your Alliances areas and the main story, then you are warped into the starting area of one of the other Alliances, and the quests are all scaled to your new level.

So after you complete all the quests in every area, for every Alliance, you could take a crack at the DLC which has some different arena modes, or the raid dungeons. There is a ton of content in this game, and I can't actually answer your question properly because I havent seen it all for myself. And I've been "end game" for months now.

And yes, the questing endlessly does get wildly grindy unless you are entertained by the stories.

>>340681024
That's why I always side with the Empire. The Stormcloaks are dumb, shortsighted cunts who can't see the big picture of the Thalmor being a true threat that all of humanity needs to rally against.

Tullius makes it pretty clear that the Empire is gathering their forces to make an attack on the Thalmor as soon as they can, but need the Nords on their side to do it. Ulfric and Tullius both want the same thing but Ulfric's too stupid to see it and Tullius can't say anything about it without alerting the Thalmor.

You actually don't destroy anything there is no way to permanently kill a deadra. And killing Daedra native to Oblivion in Oblivion only makes them return faster. Literally a pointless battle that's why saying the daedra feared some lizards that couldn't realistically threaten them is silly.

The Hist is actually a threat to the realms of the deadric princes. I actually think The Hist is the realm of Sithis. It makes a bit of sense considering the Argonians are extremely committed to being assassins.

But Npcs do mention your race. The dark elf woman in Windhelm mentions you, if you play as a dark elf, guards usually call you differently if you play an Elf/Kha'jit/Argonian.

Even the Imperial woman at the start of the game calls you a fucking cat, lizard depending on your race. Ulfric mentions you differently depending on your race when you first join the Stormclocks.

There are tons of npcs interactions like this.

They don't actually influence gameplay though, they just change a few dialogue lines.

Sure, the guards call you differently but they won't run you out of Windhelm for being a Kahjit or an Argonian who's not confined to the docks. Ulfric Stormcloak might say something a little different if you're an elf but he won't tell you to get the fuck out of his city for being a dirty knife-eared, Talos-hating faggot.

And before "but you're the dragonborn!", all of these things can be done before you even kill your first dragon.

I think it's so weird that the human races in Tamriel are mostly all human cultures names. It must be surreal for Europoors.

It would be like if you started playing a fantasy game and three of the human races races were...
>Minnesotan: These mighty warriors hail from a temperate taiga in the cold North. Favoring their traditional axe weaponry, they are fierce fighters and bold warriors, but distrustful of magic.
>Georgian: Although not native to this continent, these dark-skinned warriors have a proud culture based around clans. They are respected for their martial prowess.
>Massachusettsan: Skilled in the ways of magic, these often-eccentric humans are said to be half way between man and mer.

That's one thing I don't understand. They make so much content for their games that people will get bored of it before they complete all of it but locking the player out of a few quests is an irredeemable sin in their eyes? How about a second playthrough as something different so you can make other choices and see what you couldn't during your first?
>>
>>340682878
Some do effect quests. If you play as a High elf and wear the Thalmor robes, the Thalmor doesn't attack you during the Thalmor Embassy quest.

If you play as an Orc, you are freely allowed in Orc settlements, and you don't require the Blood-kin status, nor you need to complete the Forgemaster Finger quest.

I was going to try this but I never ended up getting to it because if I'm pretending to be loyal to the Thalmor why the hell can't I turn around to the hostess of that party and tell her the Blades are being ratfuck meatheads jerking each other off in an inn while trying to get me to do their work for them. Or purposefully benefit the Thalmor while screwing over both sides of the war at the Peace Treaty meeting.

Uninstall immersive weapons and get the lore weapon expansion for way higher quality. Immersive weapons is filled with plastic looking crap and mashups of vanilla models.
Get apocalypse spell package for spell variety.
Get imperious for better distinction between races.
For combat I'd recommend ASIS, combat evolved, deadly combat and TK dodge instead of what you currently have.
Also if you're getting bored from doing the same quests over and over again get some quest mods. I've heard good things about the forgotten city, the fight against the thalmor series, the pit fighter series and moon and star.

Honestly if you actually, genuinely, ACTUALLY go ANYTHING but a Nord you might as well kill yourself. The nords are obviously the perfect genetic breed and physically superior to all other races. They're even the tallest, high elves don't count.

I'm sure, if a nord were to even try, he would succeed at Magic much better than mudhut high elves.

Honestly you all niggers need to read the Race Theory but Eric Blood-Pencil, it's a fascinating read and already approved what I believed.
