Mating and Race/Class combining (Idea)

Jaimeh

Regardless of the queasiness of the whole thing, and the fact they would materialize as fully grown-up, what would be the purpose besides the momentary surprise of the result? Most people create characters for specific builds, and like to optimize race/class combos, and even RPers have a specific idea of that their character would be like. Most offsprings would be deleted, even as an RP function, it's not a great concept.

I always hated that book cause it implied there were almost no interracial Khajiit/Orc/Argonian/Wood Elf couplings as if lesbians and gays didn't exist in Elder Scrolls and gave a crap.

Look at Fennorian. He's pretty gay. Or extremely British but probably gay.

Could you highlight which part of the book implies that? All I see is discussion strictly about offspring and mating, nothing in regards to the frequency of any potential interracial couples. Do you mean the part about cultural bias regarding Orcs?

The suggestions on interfertility.. and the lack of evidence of any offspring from parings of specific races.

I... don't understand. How does "it's possible orcs cannot produce offspring with other races and we haven't seen any proof" = "there aren't a lot of gay interracial couples" ???

Sorry, that was absolutely on me. It was a mis-quote.

I was trying to refer to your previous post rather than the one I actually quoted. The passage I was trying to post my comment in response to was this one:

Will say that technically OP is suggesting only racial passives are mixed, rather tham a complete hybrid race. This is in fact supported both by the existence of Bretons, as well as "Notes on Racial Phylogeny" itself: Generally the offspring bear the racial traits of the mother, though some traces of the father's race may also be present.

By which I was pointing out that some pairings have not even been confirmed to produce offspring at all. This would seem to be a significant stumbling block in the OP's suggestion.

Again. Sorry for the mis-quote and the confusion it caused.

Ay that makes a lot more sense then, no worries
Yeah beast races and orcs seem to be the problem. The book does say there is historical mentions of beast race babies though, and I guess for orcs it's a magic thing. They are mer after all, but their affliction could come with that penalty...
