How did they do it then?
Not that it matters for me >.>
I just do graphic stuff.
I'd argue for making hybrid childs be stillborn always (and assign them the mother's portrait by default) so there is no problem XD
Edit: I think EK always assign the child the mother's ethnicity
I don't know the first thing about the lore haha. (I asume you mean the part about killing hybrids, right?).
Keep in mind that being born a half-ogre does not necessarily make you a mok'nathal, as seen in a quote by Rexxar's father in Cycle of Hatred.
Or you could take it the other way, that being a halfbreed does not guarantee you a spot among the Mok'Nathal, they have other requirements for entering.
Or he was just being philosophical with his son and going on with "What you are born as does not define you" bullshit.
New chronicle will probably make Rexxar a half arrakoa, half sporeling while leoroxx is half botani and half naaru if blizzard keeps up their blizzard bullshitting.
Thrall will have been foreseen by the shamans, making three of them take the perilous journey to the location of his birth following a green star.
Arthas will have written a book named "My struggles as a teenage prince".
Kel'Thuzad is the Azeroth world champion in folk dance.
The naaru are actually powered by happy thoughts.
There are miniature ponies living on a previously unexplored island in the centre of the maelstrom, strange birth defects of inbreeding include strange moles on the flanks, some single horn growth and wings. They also dont talk, they sing.
and so on and so on.
Fucking blizzard.

On top of events for some species and lack of actual breeding for beastmen, I think I remember for humans and non-humans (i.e. elves/humans) the child automatically dies at birth.
Pretty sure EK automatically gives the mother's racial trait to the child; however, this isn't just a design choice but is based on the game's actual lore
Neither way is really applicable for half-elves etc, unless you're talking about giving them a special event at birth that gives a half-breed trait if the parents are different races/half-breeds themselves.

I actually meant giving character married to a non-compatible race a -fertility trait.
That would be annoying, coding in a "you married a non-compatible partner" event needs shits of code to include all races yet not trigger when both are the same race.
Unless human and elf combo since half elves are proven to exist.
And Mok'Nathal.
And some others.
Probably easier to just make a placeholder "gets fathers graphics and mothers trait"
That's problematic. Consider a human married to an orc, with the human having a human lover and the orc having an orc lover. You'd want the orc not to breed with the human but yes with his same-species lover, nd the same for the human...
Creep creep females are facing left to make sure you can tell the difference.

On the concept of inter-planetary breeding, Blizzard do have their backs saved by the fact that each planet mentioned has likely been visited by Titans and reformed.
Azeroth obviously had and Draenor has been revealed to be Titan-touched in WoD. It's entirely likely that Argus was too. Anyway, it's been mentioned before that Titans use a common "matrix" to form their seed races: Earthen and such. This matrix eventually passed onto Humans, via Vykrul. The Orcs and Ogres likely originated from the Titan formed furies of Draenor - seen in WoD - so they also have a variety of this same matrix. The blueprint the Titans used across the cosmos. The same may have happened on Argus.
Now I'm not an expert on Titanic Matrix Association, but it's possible that this did allow for interbreeding after the curse of flesh fucked them up (it's implied to have occurred on Draenor too). That doesn't explain Half Elves, but that might be explained by the Night Elves being altered by the presence of Azeroth (the Titan) from Trolls - which then passed onto High Elves. Maybe.
