3.1 Whiterun

Whiterun is a really cool environment in Skyrim, you can tell that Bethesda tried to build it up. You start in the smaller town and spend sometime trekking on a road to arrive there. And unsurpsingly, I found more evidence of how people hate Khajiit. Outside the gates, there is a Khajiit called Ri'saad. For some reason, Khajiit traders have been banned from entering the city. Mostly because of the presumption that theyh are all theives, as far as I could tell. The problem is that Ri'saad is a legitimate businessman who leads a caravan of traders. Thats what most Khajiit are, actually. They come from a desert land and seem to share a lot with the Bedouin from our world. It was a curiosity, and something I would have to investigate later.

As I entered the city I could hear the din of general other conversations, mostly about various happenings and controversies in the town. The town is fairly diverse, but VASTLY human in its representation. Mostly male, too (at least what I saw). Additionally it seems most people are of the Nord race, which is hardly surprising considering this is one of the great keeps of Skyrim. Also, it seems that almost all of the human NPC's were voiced by the same actor. The only different accents I really detected were those of the Khajiit and Argonians, Argonians sounded like a 3 pack-a-day smoker if you ask me.

Almost all of the quests try to use emotional appeals, but some just go straight to a logical reward. They would literally say something like "I'll pay you to do this" or "I've got a reward if you can do a job", and other phrases along that line. Most of the topics brought up are requests for help, or offerings of jobs. Mostly people asking me to do things, instead of making casual conversation. It was a less lore-friendly environment than Riverwood.
