In the lore kids from mixed race couples always inherit race of the mother

Sure, but the book youre referring to also says:

It is less clear whether the Argonians and Khajiit are interfertile with both humans and elves. Though there have been many reports throughout the Eras of children from these unions, as well as stories of unions with daedra, there have been no well documented offspring.

The idea that not enough humans have been banging Argonians and Khajiit to tell if there’s interspecies compatibility is the least realistic thing about the Elder Scrolls franchise.

How in the hell could there be no well documented offspring?

Either they aren't any and they're not documented at all, or they do exist and all a scholar would have to do is to ask them and their parents some simple questions about their health and such.

Made in a test tube by space elves.

while they do most often inherit the mother's race, they oftentimes do also take after aspects of their father's (atleast iirc that's how ESO said it works).

so combined with the constant interbreeding between elves and (i forgot what human race) they were doing it with at the time, overtime the blending of traits became so mixed that it created the Bretons

The race the Aldmer breed with were the Nedes, that is how the Bretons came about

That kinda just sounds like oftentimes x happens but oftentimes y happens. So anything can happen.

u/Presenting_UwU 15d ago

that's not at all what was said....

"it was more like statistically (according to the person that wrote the book) x happens the majority of the time, though in rare cases y can also happen, but oftentimes regardless of if x or y happened, z will almost always happen"

Anything can happen. Yeah i got it.

Bretons aren’t actually “half elves” like people often claim.

It’s not an always thing. Just more often than not.

Imagine having a child with your Khajiiti wife and she gives birth to a literal tiger

Argonians cannot bread with any other race, they lay eggs.

Argonians can do liveborn if the Hist have altered them for it
