Yeah, I have to say -- if you want me to do any Dunmer you can forget about them sounding like Bert the chimney sweep. It'll be straight back to Vvardenfell. Never forget where you came from.

I also cannot do an Australian accent. Ironically, I consider it to be the hottest of all accents. Not much call for it in Tamriel, however. "G'day, n'wah."
First of all, "railroad" isn't a literal term here. It refers to a system of smuggling people under the noses of some authority adverse to their migration.
Second, is this quest something that you want to do before, during, or after the main quest?
IMO, how the quest begins should depend on whether the player has become allied with the Imperials or Stormcloaks or neither.
If you work for the Imperials, you are commanded to go "under cover" and use it to spread chaos for the Ulfric -- creating a racial anti-Stormcloak brigade.
Similarly, the Stormcloaks want you to infiltrate the organization -- but they want to root it out and destory to keep non-Nords out of Skyrim.
If the player is non-aligned, s/he stumbles upon the quest as a rumor.
The player should have the opportunity to be "evil" and follow her/his orders from either the Imperials or Stormcloaks. But there should also be a choice to do "the right thing" and help various non-Nords settle into various towns and villages throughout Skyrim.

Not true, depends on the region/state/territory/province.
It was a joke, eh.

Whether the quest is "good" in this case has more to do with whether the assassination target is good or not rather than with the player's choices/actions. If the target was an evil guy, preventing the assassination would not necessarily be good in a fantasy world. A true do-gooder quest centers on the player's choices being good, which means (IMO) that the player must have the choice to be evil as well.

I think I'd rather have a pooch follow me around than "Hi, I died again" Lydia.
Was this outside of Falkreath? I think there is a quest to find a stray dog out of that town -- turns out to lead into the Clavicus Vile quest. Also, you can buy a dog outside of Markarth. He's called Vigilance but, if you want him to live, that name would be better applied to you.

That certainly sounds right for the Imperials to me. It probably made the game's first cut but then they were like "nah, it's more douchey to never let the player in on it."
Sandra has gotten sensitive about the way I talk to Lydia. After my scare of losing her, I think Sandra has come to realize that Lydia is a very special girl and that perhaps the way I yell “GET THE feth OUT OF THE WAY DUMMY” at her when she stands directly in my line of sight when trying to shoot my bow is rubbing Sandra the wrong way.
Plus, last night I used a healing spell (Healing Hands) on Lydia because she was hurt, and Lydia say “A healing spell? Are you a priest?” and I said to her “NO YOU DUMB BITCH YOU KNOW I’M NOT A PRIEST.” and Sandra was like “DID YOU JUST CALL HER A DUMB BITCH?! IS THAT WHO YOU ARE?!” and I was like “No, you don’t understand. That’s how our relationship is” and Sandra didn’t buy it. So now I think she sees Lydia as like, a battered spouse and I have to be a little more sensitive about how I talk to my housecarl. Sometimes I’ll say “move dummy” and Sandra will just shake her head, disgusted.

I like how the camera stays on the girl as she rolls around, failing to recover from Unrelenting Force. The music works as well/better than the original trailer for this.
I'm no Stormcloak but it'd be gross to be covered in scales. Just ask Waylon Jones how many girlfriends he has. Being a half-human, half-cat abomination is no better.
People with psoriasis don't seem to like it. That's what it reminds me of.
Look, I don't want to drive the lizards from Skyrim or anything. I just wouldn't want to be magically transformed into one. That's gak. You and your friends go into a computer game and your buddy is a Nord and your girlfriend is some kind of hottie Dunmer ... and you're a dinosaur man. How do you think that's going to go for you? You still think you'll have a girlfriend by level 2?
