Mod to remove female bandits/fighters?
It kind of ruins the immersion/realism to see half of the people coming at me with greatswords are 100 pound women. Are there any mods out there that change this?

Seriously? Does it really matter? I mean, im sure theres mods out there that can add weight to males and females, but are you really complaining about this?

I'm sorry that I enjoy being highly immersed in my game world. And I'm not asking for "weight", the "100 pound" thing was kind of a joke. I just don't like half the game's bandits being women. It completely ruins my immersion.

Loool in what way is it sexist?

Is the Army sexist for having only males on frontlines?

It's this offended mentality which makes this generation so weak. Did you know testosterone levels are at all time low?
I imagine those that are apologists are at an all time high. OP shows it.

Sexism is sexism, no other way around it. That is, when you make an argument based around someone's sex. OP clearly stated only women were to be removed. That is sexist. If they wanted to remove a specific race, that would be racist, etc. etc. You get my point.

I don't mind that OP wants to remove female bandits from his game, though. I did provide the mod after all. It was just one of those topics that could evolve into something like you just instigated.

To your other question about the army: yes, it is sexist.
But for good reason, as men are physically stronger than women.

People seem to be forgetting the meaning of the words they choose. Discrimination doesn't mean anything other than 'to distinguish'. On what grounds, however, can differ.
Those decisions should be based on a valid argument, like the army thing.

Actually it's just historical accuracy, but nope! The world has obviously always been the way it is today and wanting warriors to be accurately represented is "sexist". "Sexism" is stating that one sex is superior to the other by virtue of having a penis/vagina. The OP is doing neither, they are just asking for more male bandits because half of the bandits being women is simply unrealistic.
Also, discrimination may once have meant "to distinguish," but nobody uses it like that anymore. Languages evolve over time; get used to it.

My PC is too much of a toaster to run Skyrim at a decent framerate, but I'm curious if there are any mods that made the bandits more racially homogenous. Skyrim is overwhelmingly Nord, yet criminal gangs are extremely diverse. Gangs, IRL, are generally the same race or from a similar background.

Oh hey McKeane, managed to click your way out of the 'Noobs in Skyrim' thread?

I'm pretty sure there were female bandits just as well as male ones. I wouldn't know for sure, though. I wasn't there.
Body physique differs in men and women. Overall fat percentages, fat build-up, testosterone levels, muscle definition and mass, and height are pretty much sex related. It's why sports are still categorized and split for men and women. http://www.bbc.com/sport/golf/29242699

I'm sorry, but calling a dog a cow isn't going to change its features. Languages do evolve, where new words are added and old words are less used/die. Discrimini, however, still means what it did when it was first invented. People are quick to use it, because of its all-including argument. It's like a lingo carpet bomb that quickly shuts down anyone that doesn't agree with the user of the word in a single shot.

"Languages evolve over time;"
They can devolve too.

But, unlike cows, discrimination is an abstract concept; its meaning changes with how it is used by most speakers of the language.

"devolution" doesn't exist. Evolutionis just change, it is not necessarily positive.

If I were to remove black people from the game because I don’t like them, that’s racist. However if I remove them because for example let’s say, the particular lore has a permanent lack of sun and black people could not physically exist , yet it has them anyway , and I decide to remove them , that’s not racist .

I think people these days are so easily offended


Anyway the point is not that, it’s more that gamers and men In particular are not required to be strong like the hunter gatherers of the past and relate more to a female character in a game as they feel they have more in common with a lithe female with a thin frame than a hulking behemoth with extreme strength
It's not just these days, they just get offended by different things these days. People have always been easily offended (many of the nobles in Europe during the middle-ages would kill each other in duels over the smallest grievances)

Cracks one beer and get some popcorn.

Btw, do you know that one "greatsword" dont weight more then around 3-5 Kg.
Pretty sure that one well fitted female bandit could handle that.

You can easy handle that whit one arm, but in Skyrim they have one weight around 200 Kg.


Curius, do Op in the tread, do he/she have Skyrim?
