[Stereotypical Villain]

I find it amusing that there are two races which has claws, but only one is allowed to use them.

Yiff yiff yiff yiff yiff yiff yiff

 

[RK47]

?????? High Elf now regenerates magicka ? What happened to their weakness? What the fuck?

Imperial find more coins when looting...how the f?

Licking anus shd've been Khajitt's racial skill.

Those mofo reps already have too many advantages.

"2 effects of an ingredient are revealed when testing it for the first time (instead of just one)"

Guess you have to experiment with them to see what they do now. When they said they revamped alchemy I was hoping they would have included bombs and the like. I'd give an arm and a leg (not mine, DraQ's ) for hexen style flechettes in TES.

Imperials are now the Jew race. I knew something was up when they made them a seperate species from the bretons, bethesda's representing their overlords more clearly with skyrim

I don't think bethtards would appreciate having races with both strengths and weaknesses.

The Argonians are the master race in reality. All the human races are merely cattle, rats in a cage.

 

[Andhaira]

Actually, I prefer races to have strengths only, and not weaknesses. Makes more sense.

Bethtards gonna bethtard.

Guess you have to experiment with them to see what they do now knowing single effect without having dimmest clue about alchemy was still not next-gen enough.

Fixed.

The Imperial special ability sounds completely useless, since (by example of Bethesda previous games) youll be rich very quickly either way.

 

[DraQ]

The Imperial special ability sounds completely useless, since (by example of Bethesda previous games) youll be rich very quickly either way.

It also sounds completely moronic - how the fuck is it supposed to work in-universe?

What about bethpizda's beloved immershun?

Derp, derp never changes.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

The high elf magicka weakness was irrelevant once you found marginally decent armor / shield spells. Magicka regen should discourage the usual Fight-Rest-Fight-Rest shenanigans so it's alright. I'd still like some sort of weakness, though.

And I see wood elves got the shaft again. Oh hey, you have high Sneak and archery skills - so I'll give you defensive skills! Oh yeah, and once a day you can control a giant rat for five seconds. Sweet, huh?

It also sounds completely moronic - how the fuck is it supposed to work in-universe?

"Luck", I guess. There's even a stat for it.

*slap*

Fix, don't remove, dammit!


And you could make so many interesting things with resist/weakness mechanics.

Not any more.

Imperials know the true value of rare coins better than other races? I remember seeing this explanation used for a similar perk. Can't remember if it was FO3, NV, or something else.

The fillings in their teeth are considered coin of the realm.

 

[DragoFireheart]

Fuck this stupid racial shit, give me a better version of Daggerfalls advantage/disadvantage system without all the exploits in it.

Anyways, racials are more dumbed down than even oblivions, though I'm surprised they gave more than one to some of the races.

 

[CrunchyHemorrhoids]

Call it Luck of the Emperor.

- 10% price buying from opposite sex

Prostitution confirmed.

Almost nothing but % increases for the perks, terrible.

 

[abnaxus]

Probably related to Wulf somehow, who gives the player a lucky coin in Morrowind.

 

[Darth Roxor]

DARK ELF: Ancestor’s Wrath (surround self in fire), resist fire

Oh yeah, human torches, time to larp Fantastic 4.

Also, Sanctuary is for suckers, who needs it when you can just set yourself on fire.

 

[SCO]

This is what happens when the competent are driven away.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

I read "surround self on fire" as "can cast fire shield", which doesn't sound terribly useful since dunmer already have resist fire.

Maybe it'll work like the elemental shields in Morrowind, hurting enemies that get too close?

 

[Mastermind]

DARK ELF: Ancestor’s Wrath (surround self in fire), resist fire

Oh yeah, human torches, time to larp Fantastic 4.

That sounds awesome actually. Which is why it'll be just a shitty fire shield spell. Oh well, still better than summoning an ancestral ghost.

 

[Excidium]

Wood Elf looks kinda shitty.
