Why is there such a meme that the beast races of
elder scrolls are shit?
Khajiit can be an amazing assassin/shadow archer
And Argonians are fucking amazing lore wise
Ex
>Argonians fucking up deadra
>Khajiit have fucking battle cats, cat spies, multiple cat soldiers
>Khajiit colonize the fucking moon
>Argonians fuck up dunmer
>argonians get warned and buffed by the multi-dreamed time seeing space trees
>Argonia practically un-invadable
>khajiit dominate bosmer in the 5 year war
>both originally roamed all of tamriel
>khajiit best at unarmed combat
The beast races are fucking godtier

>>375771362
This isn't a meme. It's disgusting furries people hate. Beast races are okay.

Argonians are usually considered one of the coolest races to play in TeS.

Also
>Khajiit coonize the fucking moon.

What? When lore mentions Khajiit climbing to the moon it's a euphemism for getting high off their tits on moon sugar.
>>
>>375771362
Khajiit have cool lore.
Argonians are fucking faggots and the alien time-travelling trees aka Hist are the ones with cool lore.

There is a quest in ESO where you go to the moons with the Khajiit. Or at least around the moons, or some decayed part of the moons, whatever.
And they do actually colonize the moons in C0DA.
>>
>>375773189
Hist are trees. Argonians are their sap-licking slaves they can create or evolve as they see fit.

Most of the Argonians live in Black Marsh and lick Hist sap regularly for whatever the fuck reasons they do it, which puts them under Hist control. The Hist also controls their gender, appearance and even if they are sentient or not. Some of the """argonian""" population are actually just regular lizards.

This is not exclusive to just The Elder Scrolls but I hate beast races that are just humans with different skin and a tail. They don't have different postures or body structure, they don't even have paws or webbed feet, they have regular human hands and feet with 5 full fingers and toes. I know there's a lore reason about why they're so humanoid but it doesn't make it any better to me. They just don't feel beastly to me.

I think you might have replied to the wrong post.
But anyways, I don't think any major choice between factions conflict with each other. And if they do, we already have the explanation that 99% of the records of that time in the Second Era were lost (this is established lore since forever) so we will never actually know what choices/questlines actually happened and what didn't.

Because of the lies people like you tell about those races. It gets annoying.

>Argonians fucking up deadra
This is true. However it was not until Martin Septim defeated Dagon that the gates were truly closed. Without this its likely things would not ended up so favorable for Argonia.

>Argonians fuck up dunmer
Red mountain beat them too it. Kicking an enemy who is already down isnt exactly impressive. The Argonian invasion did not even progress very far before Redoran got their shit together and took back almost all of the land that had been taken. Again, on the heels of the Red Year.

>argonians get warned and buffed by the multi-dreamed time seeing space trees

More enslaved by the trees.

>Argonia practically un-invadable
Argonia does sound interesting, but in the end it is a putrid swamp that very few non-lizards want to visit anyway. And yet they were still incorporated into the empire at one point...

>khajiit dominate bosmer in the 5 year war
True, but in turn become tools of the Altmer. Plus Bosmer are not exactly a strong province themselves. See Argonia and the Red Year.

>both originally roamed all of tamriel
Then ousted by Elves and then Humans.

The rest is personal preference. All of the races have something to like, but also not perfect. Beast races least of all.

>Indeed, if the history of the Nords is the history of humans on Tamriel, then Cyrodiil is the throne from which they will decide their destiny. It is the largest region of the continent, and most is endless jungle. Its center, the grassland of the Nibenay Valley, is enclosed by an equatorial rain forest and broken up by rivers. As one travels south along these rivers, the more subtropical it becomes, until finally the land gives way to the swamps of Argonia and the placid waters of the Topal Bay.

>Rivers connected the city-state to both its profitable outlying territories and the friendly inland ports of Skyrim and Pellitine. Rice and textiles were its main exports, along with more esoteric treasure-goods, such as hide armor, moon-sugar, and ancestor-silk.

That would require work.
They would rather spend time and effort on another boring open world with 'infinite quests' where you protect settlements.
I mean, who cares what race you are? It's not like racial prejudices matter anymore, you can't have that in games or you'll upset people.
And soon it'll probably not even be an option if they decide to fully voice your character, enjoy being a imperial/nord/breton/redguard and having a family you are supposed to care for and your main quest will revolve around them.

The argonians actually won the conflict against them, and were doing so well that Mehrunes Dagon and his Lieutenants had to forcibly close the gates to stop it.

The Dunmer could only "hold it off", even with a giant fucking beast.

Oh and the Argonians use giant worms for transportation, like subways. They've tamed the wildlife in the most deadly part of the world, your giant mudcrab which isn't even around anymore is shit in comparison.

The White-Gold tower is already fucked in terms of a lore-standpoint, imagine somebody using it as a club. It's stupid, it's over the top, it's perfect.

>Imperials flying in with a giant moth
>Khajiit have a giant cat powered by the moon.
>High Elves have their own robot based off of Dwemer designs
>Wood elves use a giant tree beast
>Orcs forge a really rough robot that's nigh indestructible.
>Redguard make a really big suit of armor and enchant it with the power of Hoonding, then it uses Hoonding as a sword
>Nords have a giant spirit of Talos come into play.
>Bretons don't do anything because nobody likes them.

"The Redguards are comprised of two groups. There's the Crowns. These are among the most talented warriors in Tamriel and are from the second wave of Yokudans that settled Hammerfell, an official colonisation party.

Then there's the Forebears. These ARE the most talented warriors in Tamriel. They are descended from the Sword Saints, Voice users that made the Nord Tongues look like choir boys and who used the Voice and their swords to split the atom and decimate Yokuda, leaving a largeish archipelago half the size of the Summerset Isles where once there was a continent larger than Tamriel. When they landed in Hammerfell, a translation of the Dwarven word for the region, Volenfell (City of the Hammer), they purged all other races that still inhabited the place (the Dwemer were fortunate enough to have disappeared from the face of the planet prior to this) and made it their own, and no pissant Nords had the balls to tell them to fuck off. The blood of the forebears is why the Redguards are regarded as the finest warriors on Nirn.

Of course, the Nords have Lorkhan on their side to beat up the big mean elves when they start to get spanked for attacking the native elves with inferior numbers, forces, training and intellect, and he comes around fairly often as a Shezarrine to hamfistedly change the course of events where the Nords would almost certainly become extinct from their rash military behaviour. The Redguards have a more hands-off parent, the Hoonding. This spirit has only ever manifested twice, once as the incarnate Hunding who led the Forebears to Hammerfell and once very briefly via the legendary sailor Cyrus as he cut down an Imperial general. However, the Hoonding isn't merely strong like Lorkhan. He is literally the embodiment of victory."

Redguards are the descendants of the Ra Gada, a group of Samurai (called Ansei, or sword-saints) who followed Frandar Hunding, a clear analog of Miyamoto Musashi (a famous ronin samurai of the 17th century, who wrote the Book of Five Rings that is often used as a guide to strategy by businessmen along with Sun Tzu's Art of War; Hunding's equivalent was his Book of Rings), over from Yokuda to Hammerfell. The Redguards are all descended from samurai. They're also not closely related to the other races of man and mer, though they are still Ehlnofey afaik."

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Redguards,_Their_History_and_Their_Heroes

"They're a mix of Moorish, Japanese, Arabic, Cajun and North African, and their history is mostly Japanese. They're the only race with samurai except perhaps the Tsaesci, though the Tsaesci culture seems by all accounts to have favoured warriors more like ninja than samurai."

"Katanas in general exist in the lore though, they're just more localised to Hammerfell and Morrowind. Morrowind most likely due to commerce with Akavir at some point in the past, Hammerfell because Yokuda randomly invented katanas themselves in the past and the warrior caste that became the Redguards were based on samurai."

I didn't know it was "cool" to get booty raped by argonians, have your homeland raped by a volcano, have all your women be giant sluts who breed exclusively with nords and cats, meanwhile they all act like haughty unlikable cunts the whole times.

Redguards go to the Far Shore, which is described as one of the "Walkabouts" when it comes to metaphysics. They're able to maintain themselves through different kalpas so if each kalpa is the same except one thing, then Yokuda should continue being the focus of the dream like it used to be and even if it isn't, Redguards should be able to accomplish much of what they did. That is, unless the one thing that changes is something like the focus of the dream.

The Ruddy Man was two things. He was one of Molag Bal's forms in a different kalpa. When Vivec and him fucked, one of the things that got created was the Ruddy Man in the current kalpa. Basically, Molag Bal and Vivec eventually gave birth so much that one of the kids either resembled Molag Bal's old form way too much or Vivec managed to pull out some shit from another kalpa. It's in one of the sermons too.

"Vivec, in giving birth to the many spawn of his marriage, had dropped an old image of Molag Bal into the world: a dead carapace of memory"

So the current Ruddy Man is a skin with power but it was also one of the forms of Molag Bal in an old kalpa.

Lorkahn manifesting in Nordic military campaigns isn't set in stone like Hoonding's involvement. That's just what people say when they don't want to admit that Nords are THE FUCKING STRONGE.

Sword-singing is like the thu'um except more religious and potentially potent. The Ansei, the Yokudans who later became the Ra Gada (Redguards), were an order of monks or saints who perfected martial arts using swords, and they would perform sword techniques that merged their discipline with the weapon with the power of their Voice. They would also meditate or practice by channeling their spirit into a sword via their Voice, the Shehai or spirit-sword. However, in most cases these Shehai were too weak to be used in real combat. A notable exception was Hunding, who fought primarily with his Shehai in his later years.

A more advance technique called Pankratosword had an effect similar to a nuclear explosion (though from MK's illustration of it it looks more like it tore reality itself apart in Yokuda) that ravaged the entire continent, around the same time that Hunding took his followers over the sea to Tamriel where they found Hammerfell (Volenfell, which means the same, being the Dwemer name for the place) and would become the Redguards.

HoonDing is the Redguard spirit of Make Way. He's similar to Trinimac in some regards, but older and more powerful. His domain is basically over winning. Like, he controls victory the way a fire mage controls fire. He rarely acts however; IIRC he has only manifested twice in recorded history, once through Frandar Hunding and once through Cyrus.

The Redguards are the men of the previous kalpa, who perfected a method of stepping sideways through time by copying their gods to survive the Eating of the World. They're thus not directly related to Nords, Imperials and Bretons, and they're more badass than the men of this kalpa in general. They are also the only race of men in this kalpa that tend spiritually to be Anuic rather than Padomaic. When this kalpa began they inhabited the continent of Yokuda to the west, which was larger than Tamriel and had empires rise and fall upon it long before any empire of man on Tamriel existed, but their equivalent of Tongues caused a calamity that resulted in Yokuda being destroyed and all but a small archipelago sinking into the ocean, and the refugees settled in the formerly Dwemer land of Volenfell (Hammerfell).

HoonDing had manifested once more as Diagna, Orichalc God of the Sideways Blade and helped fight against Orcs of Orsinium and IIRC the Left-handed elves. He's still residing in the Dragontail Mountains to this day, albeit as an old spirit of battle.

Being able to breath underwater is fucking useless when there's only an empty ocean at the edge of the map and shallow fucking rivers everywhere.
Being disease resistant is fucking useless when even someone without that shit gets sick maybe once in a blue moon and the debilitations that come with sickness are negligible.
Extra claw damage is fucking useless when even iron weapons can do more damage after a short trip to a forge.
Being able to see in the dark is fucking useless when there is only one place in the game dark enough to justify using that ability. Using mods to make everything darker fucks up night vision to the point that it is still dark as fuck even with it activated , making it once again useless, but this time for different reasons. Don't know how that happened.
Fucking Skyrim, man.
