Gender no longer affects your stats either, they added in 2 origins that do that now
Gender had an effect on stats in the original?
Yep, was the case in all TES games before Oblivion as well, typically more strength in starting male characters but more intelligence in female characters varying depending on the character's race. Only went away in Skyrim as they'd simplified the stats so much that starting stats were more uniform.
All I remember off-hand for what stats are affected in Skyrim is that Khajit start with 5 more points in Hand-to-Hand due to their claws 🤣
high elves start with more spells, magicka, and more skill points in some of the magic skill trees. they also can disguise themselves as a thalmor guard at the embassy and bypass the combat
