Well, I could had sworn someone here was all like, all of you who didn't choose Nords or other men are just stupid, because their Dragonborn wouldn't be a cannon Dragonborn. I cannot stand for that. However, if that wasn't what people meant here, I do apologise.

I wasn't saying that someone here was sexist, but if they were guided purely by the default, they might believe that Dragonborn should also be only male. However, it maybe different for Skyrim, since I think they also have a female Dragonborn in "cannon". Well, you believe in Trailers, Live action comercials and Posters. I do belive they have a poster of Female Dragonborn too. But I am sure in the next game, Neloth Telvani would be like "You are too young to remember Dragonborn, he saved the world before your time." Again, I do appologise if I missunderstood you in any ways.

Also, no one said that the Altmer you are playing have to share ideology with Thalmor, in fact it is impossible to be Thalmor. It is your choice of what your play trough supposed to be like, you can play a defiant Altmer who ran away from Summer Set Isles because he or she didn't agree with Thalmor. As far as Stormcloaks go, contrary to everyone else's believe Ulfric isn't a racist. Anyone can join Stormcloaks, even if Galmar asks you why would a foreighner want to fight for Stormcloaks. He is racist in the way, but not because he asks you that, appearantly if you not a Nord, he would never trust you completly. Even if Ulfric himself trust you enough to make you Thane. Yes, believe it or not, Ulfric would even make a Dunmer a Thane of Eastmarch. Now, if you first come up to Brunwulf Free-Winter and you are Khajit or Argonian; He would tell you "What do you want cat" or "lizzard". Sound like he is being two faced, especially since he doesn't change anything when he gets to be a Jarl, only talks about it. But this is getting a bit off topic, I appologise for that too.

As far as Talos goes, finally! Someone supports my claim that the only reason why Talos is also considered Atmoran is because he have a spirit of Ysmir, who in term is Wulfhearth of Atmora. However, Hjalty Early-Beard, the future general Talos was born in Alcair, a small Kingdom in High Rock. Also, it was not really an island Kingdom. If you look at the map of Iliac Bay Kingdoms, Alcair was on the mainland, around the place where Illiac bay is making a bend between High Rock and Hammerfell. Ofcourse, there is a posibility that he was born in the family of Nords or Imperials, or even Redguards. However that is unlikely too. If I offended someone with this part as well, I appologise.

All in all, I must have missunderstood someone here, the way I interpreted that passionate argument of Dragonborn must be Nord or a human race in cannon, as an attempt to put down all who made their Skyrim character a different race. I do believe I saw something like they made an option to choose a race, to make all of you stupid people to feel better. It might not have been the exact wording, but that what it seemed to me. I really do appologise if the intent of the whole cannon none cannon idea was different from what I though they said. And speaking of cannon, please read my pasted version of Dragonborn (Lore) article and tell me if by cannon they mean for us to be Nords or human or not just them? I am sorry if someone missunderstanding me as well.

Oh and sorry for appologising so much. I just don't want to offend anyone and please try to read all what in my post, I know it might be hard since there is a lot.
