Proofs ? Where are the proooooofs ?Lightspeedflashb14_ESO wrote: »@Casowen orcs were created when the Daedric Prince Boethiah defeated the Aldmeri god Trinimac, transforming him into Malacath and his faithful, the Orsimer, into Orcs. Not the result of interbreeding. Most races are created like this, from intervention of deities. With the aforementioned bretons being the only "half-breeds" in the lore.
Official story thus bigot story, and it's a bit inconsistent regarding facts : Ashlanders who never ceased to praise Azura, are mutated too.dodgehopper_ESO wrote: »*Orcs are not a mix of elves and goblins and they'd probably hatchet people in the face for saying so. Orcs are the result of their progenitor-god Trinimac being gobbled up and defecated after a war he led against Boethiah and her Velothi servants. Its not entirely clear what went down in the dawn era but all that is known is that the followers of Trinimac fought with the followers of St. Veloth and Trinimac fell. After this his race of Aldmer was cursed into the form you see today. It is interesting to note that Orcs are not the only twisted race. Dunmer were once the gold skinned people you see in Summerset. It wasn't until they abandoned Azura that she cursed them with red eyes and dark skin

Well that makes sense. I can imagine human and elves much like the way I see lions and tigers together, though I never see argonians and nords, or elves and khajit ever together. I am an Altmer in game, and I would love to have it with a khajiit. I guess ESO lacks romance options, where as swtor had quite alot for instance.
Update: I Am really not sure what to makes of orcs and imperials actually. I if I had to guess, the imps(swtor joke) are just about every human race melting pot of nords, redguards and bretons, while orcs I thought where some mix of elves and goblins, though I am really not sure.
Read lusty argonian maid and you will see nord and lizard "stuff"

And the game contradicts itself too because there is that couple in Stonefalls - Nord husband and Dunmer wife, but all their kids are Nords...
adopted? from a previous relationship?

Malacath. Malacath is the proof. When there's literally a god-turned-Daedric-Prince backing up the story, it's probably legit.

from this in-game book.

i just want to point out that it is ridiculous to ask for "proof" about something that is made up and can be changed at anytime per the creators (zos and Bethesdas) whim.

hehe! I was meaning...no-one here has witnessed the Dawn Era. All this is matter of faith again
Who knows ? The daedra themselves, maybe, but can't them be decievers?
Supposedly "eaten and mutated", Trinimac is still a thing in himself nowadays... because he's praised in Orsinium and the prelates do get manifestations of aedric light. His link to Malacath in ESO seems a bit doubtful aside from the traditional stories we "learned".
Even Mauloch seems a bit different during the quests of Valenwood, he could be a third god or a syncretism
Maybe I'm biased because of altmer in-character, maybe I'll upset the faithful who need "Absolute Truth in the lore", but this case really looks like a Dunmer propaganda to magnify Boethiah and mock the gods of dark elves' foes : Trinimac hero-ancestor of the Altmer, conquered, and Malacath god of the Orsimer, a poop.

Khajiit x elf seems legit to me (for I suspect the so-called Ohmes-raht form to be "in fact" a stable khajiit x mer hybrid population).
Moreover, the khajiit are commonly stated as ehlnofey descendants, who would have been magically mutated from non-beast people, just the way peoples of today can become werewolves ... Khajiit are maybe a stable form of "weretiger" somehow. Maybe this can reach the myth if the person how performed this, was an ancient powerful ehlnofey called Azurah...

I think from a logistical point of view, supporting half breeds would be difficult. Which racial bonuses would they have. Is the game engine even able to cope with blending two base body models.
Talking of offspring, the game is devoid of any children. Children existed in Skyrim but have been left out of ESO.
As regards lusty Argonian maids, I have to wonder why reptilian women have breasts when reptiles don't produce milk?

As for the question, yes there's many interspecies relationships;
The stable master's daughter in Windhelm wants to sleep with the Argonian stable boy.
There's a Dunmer woman who's husband is an Argonian born away from the Hist.
There's a Dunmer woman banker(?) who has a female Khajiit merchant flirt with in Coldharbour.
There's a male Khajiit in the giant tree in Grahtwood who's clan wants him to marry either an Altmer or Bosmer woman for alliance purposes.
It's not ESO, plus she's not born yet, but read The Real Barenziah v4 (Morrowind game version is uncensored). Barenziah has graphic public-sex in a tavern, with a Khajiit who jokes about his ***.
There's many more.
We don't make the lore the TES team does. On Racial Phylogeny and the rigidity of racial lines in TES

I know, like I said it's a sad excuse to not create a new character model for human/orc human/elf half breeds. I had an Altmer before my HE/Nord who I made have darker skin. I made it that his mother was a Redguard but he still kept the elvish ears and body of his father.
