what if the races crossbreeded.......

[Ryu]

i was thinking a Khajiit + Argonian would the baby have fur or scales.

Orc + high elf would the baby be orcish with pointy ears......

first child i mentioned + second child.

I wonder what you would get a furry/scaley super strong orcish pointy eared person?.

haha i was always curious as the idea of it isn;t well wrong i mean you can marry another race its only natural if they could reproduce so hmm the lore needs to explain this hahaha

considering the Orcs are basically elves I'd have to say that It would be the same idea as an african american man and a caucasian woman having a child, the difference would be in skin color other then that maybe duller teeth, and a less muscular/rigid frame

yes but makes me wonder how they stay a pure race i mean when you think of it shouldn't there be a race by now thats just a mixture of every race because ......how long have the races co-existed now?

you can't tell me well war etc because a love affair is bound to happen.

well as a rule of thumb you can technically only have more than 2 races mixed into a single distinguishable race for one generation as the next if mated with seperate and different race/species will cancel out one of the older ones example you have an orc male mating with a High elf you get an Orcelf, the orcelf mates with a nord of the opposite sex now you have an tri-race, but the next time will result in one of the characteristics/DNA sequences to be replaced, while it may not be 100% realistic what I just said it is esentaily what would happen. lolz this isn't the way i wanted to explain it I'll understand if this makes little sense but hopefully it makes some sense!

yes but over time of breeding in a certain pattern or over the years all four would start impacting and start a new race to come out overall would it not.

This question is already answered in the game. Start reading your books.

when you put it that way yes they would start a new race although at that point it would be hard to tell what features are from what races.

i have seen a couple of statues with human like faces on them as well !

The Book "Racial Phylogeny" in-game says that species of men and mer can interbreed (not beast races, alas) and bear fertile offspring, but the child will always take on the race of the mother.

elf+human=breton

If you could do this it would be cool to select that race as an avatar at the start of the game!

[Haljin]

http://www.imperial-library.info/ should contain all the information you would like to have on the matter

Huh that's actually pretty interesting, why the mother's race I wonder? The dna for both is still there after all.
