Ppl play fantasy RPGs to do stuff they can't in real life, we all know this. And as a black dude, The Elder Scrolls was the only high fantasy game series where black people were powerful and cool instead of being caricatures represented by orcs, goblins, trolls, or other bestial species. Or just non-existent entirely. Now Todd suddenly has a fetish for Arabian culture and are pushing it on Redguards despite Redguards being different from that in the last 4+ games in the series.
Imagine if Imperials were just suddenly turned into Amazons because they live in a jungle. Like literally, no Roman influence at all besides a line of text in a book you're probably not gonna read. Or imagine if Nords were suddenly and completely turned into Egyptians (besides some text in books) because they practice mummification. That's the level of fuckery going on with Redguards. For fuck sakes, ESO turned Hammerfell into the Middle East and Redguards into just Arabians. At this point Redguards will be pale skinned with straight hair screaming allahu akbar the next game.
How the fuck is Michael Kirkbride cool with Todd destroying his vision:
>That said, when I started writing Redguard I really thought about how unique the black people of Tamriel were: they came in and kicked ass and slaughtered the indigenes while doing so. They invaded. It was the first time I had encountered the idea of "black imperialism"
Because he is based and wants you to see them as foreigners. If redguards were walking around dressed like nords, that would make the player uncomfortable unless they're American or French.
Evan Sullivan
Have you not played Daggerfall? Isn't Hammerfell like comically Arabic in that game?
Jack Nelson
>imperialism is badass when somebody without white skin does it

Then dress them in African inspired garb like pic related. Why my people cant have their culture represented on their in-game counter part? They would never pull this shit with the white boy races, and the fanbase would never allow it to just happen either. Let them retcon Nords like they did Redguards in ESO/Skyrim and all hell would break loose. White boys would be fucking pissed, and rightfully so.
It's a fantasy world made by white men, why do you think "your people" be represented at all?
Joshua Nelson
**deserve to be represented at all
Adam Sanders
Because they're using black bodies in their game, to sell their game. And cut the fag shit out, if they did what they did to the redguards with the Bretons or Nords you white boys would be raging and calling foul all the same. Fuck you and fuck off, you dishonest faggot. Go bullshit someone else.
Jack Garcia
this but unironically
Brayden Williams
They were never black. Like every race in TES, they've always been an amalgam of multiple race's and cultures. TES is the only thing I still enjoy in my life, so fuck off and leave it alone, you cultureless nigger.
Jackson Reyes
Desert biome people = arabs Either this or discount egyptians
Christopher Morales
because arabised muslim blacks were the most successful and strongest negroid africans they were kangz and had empires
Blake Sanders
Curved swords
Kayden Hughes
This, they were and still are the KARA BOGA
Austin Sullivan
This, OP.
Cooper White
Nigger the fuck are you on about, theres plenty of black arabs/muslims and like said Redguards have had islamic influence since the first fucking game. And no I wouldnt give a shit if it happened to the whiter races in TES in fact it would be funny to see Bethesda get shit on for "appropriating" "minority" cultures.
Kayden Green
Americans deserve to be burned alive

>Now Todd suddenly has a fetish for Arabian culture and are pushing it on Redguards despite Redguards being different from that in the last 4+ games in the series. dude what
Evan Jenkins
what's it like being living a worthless, irrelevant life?

So you're dead ass going to pretend the white boy human races cultural base inspiration doesn't directly come from their real world counterpart. Like your dead ass going to be so dishonest to pretend like nords aren't a fantasy mixture of Germanics, Scandinavians, and other assortment of Northern European battle clans? You know, the real world ethnic groups that the in-game nords look just like from a phenotype perspective? And you're going to pretend this design pattern doesn't hold for the Bretons and Imperials too? Like, you're so bad faith you're going to pretend all that doesn't exist? Seriously?
Truth is, redguards were Arabs in arena and daggerfall. Just check the daggerfall faces for the redguards in character creation, they were clearly meant to be middle eastern flavored. What happened is kirkbride came along during tes:redguard and retcon them into blacks due to his BBC cuck fetish. Beth basically went along with this change and redguards in morrowind/oblivion were basically generic black dudes. Then skyrim came along and redguards got arabized again, and eso took it to another level and made them full Arabs in look and culture. As of now, who the fuck knows where tes6 where will take the redguards. I have a feeling their going to get africanized hard if I had to make a guess.
Daniel Butler
You just proved my point, nigger. Try googling what amalgam means.
Try creating some culture instead of latching onto a fictional race's. You're like those faggots who pretend animal crossing characters are trannies. You and people like you already make real life unbearable, get a life and leave my escapist fantasy alone.
Cameron Richardson
I didn't know real life nords could yell loud enough to shape reality of that the real life Bretons were half elves. Thanks for the handy history lesson, retard.
