I don’t know if it’s the same stat buffs/debuffs across all the Elder Scrolls games, but the one OP was likely talking about was the Redguard race in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (stat sheet here). And yes, it was pretty messed up.
Redguards are from Yokuda, Nords are from Atmora, Imperials come from the Nedes and Bretons are a Nede/Aldmer mix. Each human race has a distinct origin, what’s controversial about that? They’re ‘human’ in the sense that they’re not Mer or Beastfolk.
My brother, read the fucking lore. Atmorans (Nords) are the fallen gods who followed Shor. Elves are the fallen gods who followed Auri-El. Redguards come from a different Kalpa (rebirth cycle).
But I’ll give Bethesda credit, as others have noted the Nords have basically the same stats, so it’s more a bad look/Romabooism than a white supremacy thing.
The males, yes. Redguard women are subbier, more dazzling, and have more stamina than Nord women. Good base race for a skill over brawn fighter, see Syrio Forel, no points wasted on pointless magic capabilities. Also fun side observation: Female orcs are just as strong as the males but smarter and have, singular among all races, less charisma than the males. Also the lowest overall.
You kinda have to try hard to be offended by the thing. I guess though the differences between human races shouldn’t be as pronounced (modulo Bretons with all their Aldmer blood) but I guess every race needs its 50 stat. Oh and imperials being the smarmy ones makes sense.
Why are you lying? Bretons, Imperials and High Elves get a plus to magic abilities (Int, Wil), as befitting their lore of magic casters. Nords and Redguards get a plus to fighting abilities, as befitting their warrior origins.
There is more than one Elder Scrolls game… Morrowind has base attributes of 40 with different races having higher and lower values from base. Redguard in Morrowind have lower int and will than average, and compared to women male Redguard also have lower personality but higher strength.
Bethesda also released a game where you get minus to intelligence, willpower and personality for being a black man.
But they were better at stabbing people
What game is this? It sounds so messed up.

Seems accurate enough
Oh, it gets better.
They’re not the same species as the Nordic humans.
They don’t come from the same gods because they’re from a different Kalpa. Stop trying to create drama.
Thanks for admitting I’m right
Are you dumb?
No u

Idk bro, you think that, maybe, in a creationist setting, that means the “races” don’t have a common ancestor?

Aka
Are a different species
Dumbass

A.K.A. a different race, as per Tolkienian storytelling and myth-building
But Nords have identical buffs/debuffs according to that sheet.
The males, yes. Redguard women are subbier, more dazzling, and have more stamina than Nord women. Good base race for a skill over brawn fighter, see Syrio Forel, no points wasted on pointless magic capabilities. Also fun side observation: Female orcs are just as strong as the males but smarter and have, singular among all races, less charisma than the males. Also the lowest overall.

To be fair, most RPGs were quite racist until the 00s

That seems a bit of a reach

I think you’re confused. I understood what you mean, I just think it’s a reach.
Reminds me of an old flipnote animation
“I got pokemon black!”
“I got pokemon white!”
“RAAAAAAAACISMM—!”
lore accurate

Why write it if you’re being sarcastic? It wasn’t funny.
why write any joke? why did you write this reply?

What elder scrolls race were you thinking they were talking about?
The only non-elven race with darker skin are the Redguards, so there`s literally no other option.
There is more than one Elder Scrolls game… Morrowind has base attributes of 40 with different races having higher and lower values from base. Redguard in Morrowind have lower int and will than average, and compared to women male Redguard also have lower personality but higher strength.
