Sepherose Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 On topic: I am sad that more female dragonborn aren't covered in the lore :( As for the other topic: While it may be true that men are physically stronger as the typical default, the default has been leveling out for a long while. Typically, yes, men can take a bit more of a beating and dish a bit more of one out. There is something that most people never seem to mention though when this topic comes up: Women have a much faster reaction time to sudden events on average. The can attack and get out of the way quicker. Also, the eyes: men's eyes are leaned more towards spatial awareness, while a woman's is leaned more towards color differential. Essentially, men my be able to tell how far away the thing they see in their peripheral vision is quicker, but, women are more likely to notice the sudden flick of color, meaning women can avoid it easier. But finally, and this is really important, either gender can train towards the natural leanings of the other, and become just as adept at it. It will just take more work. Neither is "better" or "worse" overall, just different biologically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InuyashaFE Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I hate the 'it's fantasy' argument. Why not add polka-dotted unicorns? Why not have a dragon knight or dragon policemen? Why not just make the lore all one singular race as a result of the 'alakazam' event? After all, it's fantasy. :psyduck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarKirby3333 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 i've made 4 characters so far. 3 of them female. also, as to the whole men being stronger thing. Do remember that that's an average thing. Yes women are physically weaker ON AVERAGE. But this is an exceptional person we're talking about here. Exceptionally strong women can and do exist, and most men would cower in fear from them. fyi, my male character is my physically weakest :P he's a pure mage. ^^ my strongest is Nanako, the strapping nord lass who bears a close resemblance to me, and swings a greatsword with the force of a thousand suns. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehcar Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Whatever. So we have the dragonborn Alessia. Anyone else, or would that be it? And actually, the Imperials are largely but not entirely based on the Roman Empire. Edited November 24, 2011 by Lehcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pineapplerum Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 There's a female who helps you to fight that Aldruin dragon. Weren't all of the people there to help you fight the dragon, dragonborns? That's what I thought. Maybe I just misunderstood something.I don't think it has as much to do with men being stronger, in the game, as much as it is old world customs where men were always gods and women just their servants. Even if there were female dragonborns, they probably would have left it out of the history books. I mean, if the game is anything like real life and real history.

No, she is not a dragonborn. She is a Blade. Second Paragraph: No comment, except that's false. Real life does NOT apply to video games - fiction is fiction. The Greybeards say that all Dragonborns are easily forgotten if they never achieve anything. If there were other female Dragonborns ever born at all, then surely at least some of them did something to make them memorable... nobody even remembers Alessia's actual name, but they do remember the person, and that the person was a woman.

Pineapplerum Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) No, no, no...not Delphine, where you fight the final dragon, you fight with those dead people, the ghosts. One of them is a female. And three of them are male.<br><br>And I was kind of being a smart ass with the second paragraph. But thanks for the information. <br> Edited November 24, 2011 by Pineapplerum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
