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

[Ryulightorb]

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?.

Frankly, I think writers should be a little less sloppy with their language, and start distinguishing between "race" and "species", rather than use these words as if they're interchangable, when they're not.

"Race" implies at least some level of interbreedability between two groups that belong to the same species. By definition, crossbreeding of real species is impossible (and yes, there's sloppy use of the term even by professionals. Coyotes, dogs and wolves should all be considered many races of one species, since they have no genetic barriers to breeding (though size may be a mechanical issue that could send certain breeds on their way to genetic isolation and species-hood.)

Donkeys and horses are races - incomplete species, even though their offspring are sterile, they are viable. It's one of those weird grey areas you get in biology, if you don't have a pigeonhole mind.

Some species can not procreate together.

Elves and Khajiit can, never learn if Khajiit and humans can.

Elves and humans can, those are the Bretons.

Argonians as far as we know can not do so with any other species, which makes sense honestly.

Who they tend to favor can be random at times.

In Oblivion you meet a half orc and he looks more orc than human, so obviously there is that.

Just take an Orc and change its skin color to something more human and I think you have your mix right there.

Elves actually have an easier time procreating with humans than with other elves(or atleast this is implied) because humans are more fertile in general. If Elves reproduced at the rate of humans with the life spans they have than the world would be overran quickly.


Idk how long Orcs can live.


There is also a rare breed of Khajiit who look almost completely human/elvish besides what appears to be weird tattoos and cat like teeth. They may have cat ears too idk, basically they are furries.

What breed a khajiit is is determined by what stage the moon is in when they are born. Morrowind khajiit were a different breed than other games for example of this

I find Morrowind Khajit look better than Oblivion Khajit, and I don't know why that should be. Argonians look better, too.

I see the screenshots for Arena - my gods, Khajit look like some sort of human cat-cultists.

I like my Skyrim Khajit, though I wish I could have made him more tiger-ish.

Please, Beth, start thinking of them as a unique species that evolved from cats, and drop this elf crap - and make them more fuzzy. I thought my ESO cat was bare-skinned until I zoomed in.

[Maloy20]

I understand your pain man lol.

There is also a breed of khajiit that are literally just intelligent tigers, walk on all fours and live in the wild and all that good stuff! I'd like to see a TES game where you can choose which breed you are, except that tiger one obviously because they are just tigers.

there might be some more types of Argonians idk? There are other intelligent species in Blackmarsh that lore speaks of but they keep to themselves and obviously aren't as large of a species as Argonians

[Haunt Fox]

OH! I would LOVE to play a Tiger Pioneer - that one dude/dudette who has the curiosity, drive, and vision to want to bring his people forward/up. He learns to use his prehensile digits a bit better, learns about how clothing can mark your tribe, and all that civilized stuff.

The best backstory in D3 belongs to the witch-doctor, because of the same idea as above. He's a guy looking for a way to better his own people.

Geez, but that might be its own game in and of itself. If anyone cares to develop it, I don't give a damn about rights, just let me have a cheap copy when you're done.

Well if i'm remembering a certain quest in the game for Hermonus mora (probably misspelled his name) the dwemer blood was a combination of >high elf>dark elf>wood elf>orc, so going by dna from that standpoint we have to assume that the Dwemer were a mixed race or Drlightorb's "four part race" theory stands wih them....of course as far as I know no one has actaully seen one of them though (mods don't count lol).

You see one in Morrowind. In Divath Fyr's corprusarium (I give up on the spelling...). He's supposed to be the last dwemer. Looks like a fat elf.

Well, and the Dwemer ghosts, which look like ancient Assyrians. And the Ashlanders have ancient Assyrian names/place names.

Or the other elven races are descended from Dwemer, can work in either order

[Haunt Fox]

Or even better yet, a raccoon or rat pioneer. How would humans react if someone came across a bunch of smallish mud huts in the woods, and saw nothing but raccoons? Some duck into the huts, while others, who were playing with sticks, just stare at the human?

I _need_ a game like this.

I never trusted those Greys. Always meddling in genetics when they abduct different species.

[Ryulightorb]

Well lets see the next game i hope they make it more lore packed :D

Im guessing that maybe like when the humans and merlock met in warcraft i imagine so atleast.

I'm not intending to emberass, or make someone feel bad now, but look, I have a hard time agreeing with a statement that says Khajit can breed with elves. Biologicly that seems impossible. Cats reproducing organs are way different than humans for example.
It doesn't make sense. Cats give birth to small cubs, how would they be able to birth a big baby XD
I once again reply, no pun intended, just thought it was an interesting subject.
