Skyrim, Cultura dos Jogos, Raça, VideogamesResumo
O argumento desenvolvido neste artigo é que o tratamento das relações raciais em Skyrim cria uma experiência de jogo paradoxal onde a raça é um elemento determinante no destino dos NPCs e no curso dos eventos retratados no jogo, mas continua a ser um aspecto negligenciável, mesmo cosmético, da experiência do personagem criado pelo jogador. Afirmamos que, apesar de uma forte racialização do lore de Skyrim, o personagem principal não experimenta a sua mecânica. A partir daqui, argumentaremos que a aparente 'neutralidade' racial da experiência do jogador é de fato a experiência de uma posição social dominante. Isso tem um efeito sobre a própria coerência da metanarrativa implantada através do jogo.Métricas
