What about two humans who are incapable of producing offspring together?I tend to lean this way as well. In my mind, if they can't reproduce due to being too different biologically, then maybe it's not the best idea for them to be romantically involved. I don't know about "illegal", but if I woke up in Tamriel, I probably wouldn't get sexually involved with a species that I can't have viable offspring with. I don't view them as different "races" but more like different "species". Someone mentioned black and white people being romantically involved irl. The difference there is we are definitely of the same human species and can produce viable offspring if the two people wanted to. Again, not sure I'd make it illegal, but that's my personal taste. I could see having a relationship with a Khajiit for example, just not a sexual relationship.

well that doesnt change the fact that its bestiality even if they are humanoid.
they're still not human and more bestial
Nothing wrong with it as long as it's consensual...Khajitt and Argonians are more "aware" than their earth counterparts. They are not merely "animals" and therefore it cannot be considered bestiality.
And in case anyone is interested: here is my concept for a Hybrid character creation mechanic in ESO:

This is from that thread:
Bosmer Mother & Argonian Father

I fear for the people who would consider others as lesser... just because the are a different species... mind you a fully sentient species... that causes genocide. Whether you like it or not, the creators of the game have added many interspecies couples in the game... DEAL WITH IT.

I don't watch any of those shows you mentioned infact I ain't got a clue what the 2nd one is, also they are animals, they are after all classified as Beast Races in pretty much every ES game.TX12001rwb17_ESO wrote: »They are animals, Argonians lay eggs for crying out loud, that should be enough to tell you not to do it.
How dare you call Argonians animals? Just because of their looks? And because they lay eggs?
Have years of Star Treck, DS5, Dr.Who and so on taught you nothing?

Im pretty sure the mudcrab merchant can talk and is fully aware of its existence, would you not call it an animal when it is still physically a mudcrab? also if it makes you feel any better I share the same views that many Dunmer do, I want my Suthay Fur Coat and My Saxhleel skin Boots.Well then you probably should start watchingTX12001rwb17_ESO wrote: »I don't watch any of those shows you mentioned infact I ain't got a clue what the 2nd one is, ...
Of course they are called beast race as they needed to coin a term for those anthropomorphic Races that didn't sound too modern to fit into their settings. And as an an.alogy though a mass-murder on earth could be titled beast or bestial, he/she is not an animal either.
However all of the player races in ESO are sentient and as can be seen from the spirits you encounter in the game apparently have something that we would call soul. We should not fall into the earth-centered trap here.
These Races are no animals, no more than any human is on this planet.
[snip] ...it is obvious you love Khajiit and Argonians and your sharing your views and I as well am Sharing my views but you don't see me name calling and directly insulting others because they do not share my views.KhajiitiLizard wrote: »You would kill people just for shoes and a coat? You sir are all kinds of screwed up.
RPing a character's views is one thing... but...
Many Khajiit (Dagi, Ohmes, etc) actually look pretty much the same as Bosmer... that sexy Bosmer chick you have a crush on? Hah, she's Khajiit. Go play TES:II and the Khajiit look very human to me.

You can personally attack an entire race (even fictional), and it's fine... call one person out on their bullcrap and it's not.

Say, you told that Bosmer man who has a Khajiit wife, that his wife if s filthy animal...
What would happen? You'd get a blade in the gut.
It's fantasy game... and having anthropomorphic races is a fantasy staple that goes back decades.
On Nirn, the beast races are more alike to the elves and humans than you realize. How many animals wear clothes?
Anyway, I'm done feeding the troll.
As I said I share the more Dunmeri view where many of them see Argonians as mere slaves who should work the fields..this has no reflection on how I view things in real life just so you know although I do believe having a relationship with anything not of your species is wrong and even if Argonians are sentient they are still a different species to a Human.TX12001rwb17_ESO wrote: »[Im pretty sure the mudcrab merchant can talk and is fully aware of its existence, would you not call it an animal when it is still physically a mudcrab? also if it makes you feel any better I share the same views that many Dunmer do, I want my Suthay Fur Coat and My Saxhleel skin Boots.
There is no sentient creature that I would call animal.
Mudcrab, Daedra who is anyone to humiliate them just because they do not look human(-oid)?
I recently have very ambiguous thougts about Gorillas and Chimpanzees and other kinds of monkeys and even whales and some dolphin sorts. As they appear to be even more sentient than general belief would credit them.
I must admit with the last sentence I have a huge issue. Making clothing from a sentient creatures fur is no laughing matter and I do assume this is non reflected provocation so I will not dwell on it.
