I’m talking 80s/90s casting rules because I know a Skyrim movie today would be a black or Hispanic female protagonist. But I’d love to see a legit Skyrim adaptation, or a long series about the Dwemer.

General spoilers for Morrowind ahead.
As much as I love Morrowind the fact that the plot is close to Wheel of Time, in terms of the Nerevarine being the Elder Scrolls version of The Dragon Reborn, means Nerevar would get the Rand al'Thor treatment but with actual gender swapping and not just some stupid convoluted idea that Nynaeve, or any random woman, could in fact be Lews Therin Telamon.
Throw in the prophecy about Nerevar returning to save Morrowind from shit going bad and the encroaching Imperials means you also have a very likely Daenerys 2.0 white saviour plot going that modern day writers would wank themselves silly over since the native residents are the Dunmer, also called Dark Elves because their skin is the colour of ash for plot reasons.
Wouldn't surprise me if under such a production that the leaders of some, if not all, of the Great Houses ended up a particular shade of gray that was more convenient for Woke purposes while the protagonist friendly Dunmer were otherwise shaded.
