Race Relations

I Can't Believe It's Not Vanilla!

The features You want... Without the fluff You don't!

⭐ Balances the Relations, Stats, Skills, and Abilities of each race/gender according to lore and in-game descriptions.

ALL relevant lore taking place before the events of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion that I could find,

spanning the entirety of the series, has been taken into consideration.

Lore and racism have more of an effect on the game now.

⭐ The strengths and weaknesses of each race and gender combo have been accentuated,

making every race and gender combo feel more unique and fun from the start!

⭐ Some Starting Abilities have been altered for a more hardcore, rewarding and lore-friendly experience.

Natives of the civilized, cosmopolitan province of Cyrodiil, they have proved to be shrewd diplomats and traders.

They are skilled with heavy armor and in the social skills and tend to favor the warrior classes.

(If character is this race, NPCs of the following races' disposition toward the character affected accordingly)

Imperial +5 (subconscious bias)

Breton +5 (lore; long-term allies; similar cultures)

Redguard -5 (Redguards deemed Imperials ineffective since 2E 862, especially since 3E 249; lore)

Dark Elf -10 (Dark Elves are prejudiced against many races)

High Elf -10 (High Elves are prejudiced against many races)

Khajiit -10 (border disputes with Empire; territory annexation by Empire)

Voice of the Emperor

Charm 30 pts for 30 secs on Target → Charm 30 pts for 60 secs on non-creature Target

You can no longer use Voice of the Emperor to Charm Creatures. Nothing will happen as they can't understand you.

Star of the West

Absorb Fatigue 100 pts on Touch → Restore Fatigue 10 pts for 10 secs on Self

Imperials naturally having the ability to Absorb a target's Fatigue once a day does not fit my vision for this mod.

A cryptic Power, not much is known about it.
