Any racial alignment is a big no-no for the left, the idea that different cultures combine with biology would be very different in terms of morals and societal structure is impossible for them to accept.

Everyone is exactly the same but diversity is both skin deep and the most important thing about a person.

Note that I judged these alignments primarily by game mechanics, not lore.

So why do you say Khajiit are slightly mischevious self-interested traders who just want to get by while Argonians are stealing babies to feed them to vampires? Why (even though they have virtually the same starting skills) do you put Nords at Neutral Good without comment while you spend several paragraphs classifying Orcs as mentally retarted, sexist chaotic evil drunkards? And that's without even getting into things like you claiming Dunmer have a penchant for vampirism, and your blanket statement that Elves are more civilized and the Beast Races are lawless. All of those things are - on a mechanical level - profoundly absurd.

Sure, it's a single player game so classify the races and play them however you like in your own playthroughs. But taking your own biases and then claiming that "oh, gameplay mechanics support this!" when it doesn't is just bad form.

I think I have sufficiently demolished your opinion; there is no need to address your every intuitive failure.

Nope, you just keep showing your complete ignorance of the game, and your own biases

First, Castle Volikhar is nowhere near Windhelm. Here's a handy map if you need it. In fact, the castle is in the northwest corner of the map. Yes, there is a ferryman in Windhelm that can take you near it but there are also ferrymen in Dawnstar and Solitude that can do so. And Argonians - with their high racial resistance to disease - are in fact the least likely race to contract Sanguinare Vampiris. In fact, I don't believe we encounter a single named Argonian vampire in the game, and Skyrim's code for randomly generating vampires does not even allow for Argonian vampires, and the chance of a random Arognian thrall is much lower than any mer or man race since thralls are drawn from the bandit leveled lists, most of which exclude Argonians.

Plus, what do you mean by Alteration drain spells? The general drain spells were removed in Skyrim, but in Morrowind and Oblivion were both under Destruction, not Alteration. And the one remaining offensive drain spell in Skyrim - vampiric drain - is under Destruction.

Oh, and why do you focus so much on just Windhelm, when more Argonians live in Riften than Windhelm?

There is literally nothing in game to support your premise that Argonians are kidnapping babies for the vampires. It is entirely your own invention.

(Oh, and if you want to talk about betraying humanity for a crust of bread, Khajiit easily fit that too based on quests, as seen by the multiple occasions throughout the game where Khajiit NPCs turn out to be assassins working for the Thalmor).

Not even going to bother wasting my time on why you are insisting that Orcs are evil while Nords are good, given your complete lack of any in-game rationale for it, and the fact that you continue to show you know nothing beyond the most surface level aspects of the game. If, for example, you want to pick a race which would preferentially seek out the Ebony Blade and Mail it would be a Dunmer, not an Orc, since Dunmer worship Boethiah and Mephala while Orcs would hate Boethiah because of what happened to Malakath.

TL;DR - play the games before trying to classify things about it.

Don't bother. This guy is a reddit tranny faggot spamming his failed abortion of a idea in the most "How do you do, fellow gamers" manner possible. He's posted this same shit to ConPro, and c/games as well.

Even ignoring how you are treating your personal choices in mods as canon (which they're not, on several levels) and as impacting every member of a race (which they don't, they just impact the Dragonborn), you have at least 4 factual errors about the contents of the game in your post

So, as before, you just keep showing your complete ignorance of the game, and your own biases. Play the games before trying to classify things about it.

I would switch around the Bosmer and Breton, myself.

Fuck the Bosmer.

I dislike Elder Scrolls elves intensely.

Also, cannibalism. iirc TESO correctly, they're into it. And the idea of "fermenting" meat is kinda gross.

I made a lizard in my playthrough but played him as an imperial.
