Also, about the Battle-Borns:

1) Their races are totally messed up. Actually, anything about them is messed up. They have weird relationships set in the CK, and it seems that the Beth. Developer who worked on them confused a lot of things.

You also still didn't show any evidence for a Khajiit/Mer crossbreed. Also as I and Anon 80. said, Children take the race of their mother on and get a few traits from their fathers. For the love of god. This is why I swore. Both you and 80.216 have completely ignore what I've previously posted. Lets try this one more time.

1) Many relationships are wrong in Skyrim, but you cannot claim that Bergritte's race is wrong because there is no evidence of that. That is an assumption unless you have evidence to concretely prove she was meant to be a Nord.

2) I'm going to repeat myself one more time. I swear I will not repeat myself another time, so pay attention. In the book Notes on Racial Phylogeny the author clearly states: "Generally the offspring bear the racial traits of the mother, though some traces of the father's race may also be present." Notice the wording of his sentence, he uses the word Generally. usually, habitually, customarily, typically, ordinarily, commonly
 * gen·er·al·ly. /ˈjenərəlē/. adverb
 * 1. in most cases; usually. synonyms: normally, in general, as a rule, by and large, more often than not, almost always, mainly, mostly, for the most part, predominantly, on the whole; More

Now that you've learned the meaning of the word generally let me once again share the two clear examples in which the child is not the race of the mother. 1) Pelagius the Mad, although he is considered a Breton in the Creation Kit he is nevertheless a human, being more like the Imperial father than his Altmer mother. 2) All of Bergritte's children. All her children are Nords while she is a Imperial.

In conclusion the norm is that the child is the race of the mother, that is not however always the case.
