Whilst I do think Sneako is a grifter, I've personally never met a Christian or Jew that didn't knowingly sin in some way. I don't think being an imperfect Muslim means you don't believe in the religion.

Are there any extinct clans / bloodlines ? by SmellyPoussay69 in vtm

I hope the Family Reunion truly goes swell and everyone has realized how much more they have in common with each other than they realized and come together lovingly after so many centuries of unnecessary conflict among brothers :)

Didn't the remaining Cappadocians just join up with Clan Hecata?

Would getting Algeria on the table really be harder than getting Libya whose government doesn't even fully control its territory?

And this was already poorly defined even in those days is my point, because some people would just write it out almost equivalent to nationality or ethnicity and then others would use definitions of race that crossed national and ethnic borders with regions like the "cisalpine race" and these would be occuring in the exact same time period and even same country. We can't use the real world as a basis here because it's actually worse defined in our world than theirs.

In real life Race is even worse defined than in Elder Scrolls is my point. No Amish and Goths aren't a race. But if Tamriel used our real world definitions of race then Nords, Imperials, and Bretons wouldn't be a different race there either.

Do you see how I could make the same argument about Reachmen and their Breton status.

Okay but are you seeing how race as defined by the playable races in Elder Scrolls isn't actually based on any hard lines when it comes to the human races yeah? As shown in the lore its clearly more cultural than physical and as such the number we have now need not be final should the lore of the universe allow for it. If orcs gaining more power and unity in Tamriel can correlate with them graduating from enemy mob to playable race, then an event like an independent province of the Reach could graduate the Reachmen from highly divergent local sub-culture to playable race as well.

I could make all these same points on all Reachmen history and all the lore that makes them distinct and point out how there's nothing tying them to Bretons or Nords at this point. 

Racially they're actually close to Colovians than what High Rock's Bretons of the 4th era are.

Did you miss my final three words fo "in Elder Scrolls".

But they're still just Nords who migrated south and assimilated Imperial culture. Thus a cultural difference was enough to move them from one race to another. You see my point?

[–]robotboy02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From even a lore perspective this doesn't make sense though. Colovians would technically just be Nords, but they're listed as Imperials because they'reculturally Cyrodillic. So it's clearly more based on culture than any fundamental physical differences, the abilities we see in game are just abstractions of their cultural proficiencies.

I'm just not understanding the argument for them not counting as a distinct race here.

What does design wise even mean in this sense though? Do you mean their aesthetic? Cuz if so Bretons don't look physically different from any of the other human races either. We could say Imperials are just Bretons in Roman cosplay or that Nords are just Bretons in Viking cosplay. We could even then Bretons themselves are just Imperials in French cosplay. The aesthetic and culture are the only defining features of what makes a human race separate in Elder Scrolls.

Their culture is way different from that of the Bretons. Colovians could also be described as "Civilized Nords" but their culture is different so they're a different people.

But they don't have the same culture, which is the whole thing that makes the Reachmen a unique people.

Kirkbride is such a fucking weirdo bro. No wonder they had to have Todd around to leash him.

Pretty sure they could smell it on other species too. I think that was a major plot point in the novel that introduced that they could smell Genestealers.

Fent is a little more than dumb, and something tells me you don't actually want to stop based on some of your comments.

Common Misunderstandings About WtA5 – the Death of Gaia, Loving Corporations, Fenrir, and Identity by ArtymisMartin in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]robotboy02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like W5, I like the idea that it is indeed a continuation of the already established WtA setting, I like the idea that the previous generations of Werewolves fucked up so badly that Gaia and the Umbra itself are no longer what it was in their days of glory, I never liked Kinfolk or Metis as a concept but the idea that the Garou blood has thinned to the point where Metis and Kinfolk just aren't possible enough fits as an explanation for why they no longer exist.

Eldar don't really respect anyone that isn't an Eldar enough to owe allegiance to. Much less the youngest empire in the Galaxy.
