It is a pretty moot point and genetic messups happen all the time anyways so if anyone chooses to have one, it's probably going to be achievable in other ways. I just have a hard time seeing Midlanders being related immediately to a race that still has an enhanced olfactory gland, tail, vertical pupils, etc. or a race that's 3 ft tall. It sort of denotes whatever shared ancestor they had was thousands and thousands and thousands of years ago-- or I guess, magic.Â(03-06-2015, 10:55 AM)kotori birdsong Wrote: Sterility is often attributed to the different number of chromosomes the two species have, for example donkeys have 62 chromosomes, while horses have 64 chromosomes, and mules and hinnies have 63 chromosomes.And all the "Races of Man" have the exact same number of chromosomes, making this an entirely moot point.
Haha, no, I don't know that for a fact, but I really doubt they even thought it through to that level of detail. Either way, it's mostly an irrelevant point because very few of us will RP cross-breeds when there's no way to represent them in-game and even fewer of those will try to breed.
There are tons of people to roleplay crossbreeds, even without the ability to represent them in game. Midlander/Highlander is most popular, there's Seeker/Keeper, definitely some Wildwood/Duskwight, and possibly Hellsguard/Seawolf. I know at least one Plainsfolk/Duskfolk, and then some Miqo'te/Hyur, Elezen/Hyur, and so on. That first one is pretty popular.
