i'm extraordinarly late to the discussion about racial perks
i think its completely out of the ordinary to NOT have them, it would add a lot of depth.
and you all seem to make the argument that people would "have to choose between something they don't want"
the glory of these games, rpg games, is that you don't HAVE to pick something you don't want.
though skyrim has a lot less rpg than other bethesda titles, the fact that cats get more unarmed damage than a human, will NOT stop me from playing the imperial. i want to play a character however i want regardless of how it looks like, and in that process i'll get a bonus to something else that will make it even more unique. same goes here, if i want to be a big minotaur with a bonus to strength and a weakness to intelligence, i would still do it. it makes my character more personal and much cooler/unique in my opinion.
plus, tits is easy, you could intentionally cut all of your PCs arms off and they'll still be able to kick their way through 90% of enemies.
...kick? maybe there should be more melee, monk like weapons as well
