Has anyone been able to use the races in Skyrim to create a character who looks somewhat Asian, preferably Chinese or Japanese, and preferably female?

I managed to get an Imperial to look a bit Japanese, but I ain't so good with the character creator and was wondering if any of you achieved it.

No, I do not and would not use mods.

I have found that it's much easier to create Oriental-looking characters with Nords.

In fact, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Erdi who looks so.

Are you on console or PC? The Ashen Race mod is what you are looking for if you are on PC.

I can. with and without mods.

I've created an Asian looking Breton female.

I've also considered creating an Imperial male who believes that he has Akaviri ancestry, and make him look either south or east Asian. But I have so many character ideas...

Apparently, you have the same disease that ravaged our internet user: comment first read later.

Anyway, with all human race it is possible (not elf) it is possible to create asian looking character especially Breton.

This thread is an example why Beth' should introduce a race of human Akaviri.

I'm sure there are many like the OP wanting to make an Esian type character. Especially those of that line of ancestry.

Every ass loves to hear himself bray.

If only the one Asiatic human race didn't get eaten by vampire snakes.

whatever that Tamriel folklore actually means or whether it even has any grounds of fact behind it

The Akaviri? I'm pretty sure its confirmed that they were eaten by the Tsaesci...Right? Well, either way, they're gone.

it is in lore but only as folklore and not a real account of what happened. No one actually knows

Being "eaten" is probably symbolic for something

Why would you refuse to use mods if you're on PC?

I actually find Orsimer to be quite Asian-esque, at least when looking at the majority of their hair and eye options.

Yep Breton women are the best choice for creating someone who looks like they have Asian ancestry.

Ever heard of purist term?

I was once like that, even now I only use USKP, Texture Enhancer like WATER, etc. even though my PC more than capable running a lot of mods.

What's the point, though? Why not make use of them if your computer will handle it and you've already done a vanilla playthrough?

many of us PC players just don't see the point, as we enjoy the game enough as is, the way it was meant to be played..

Frea looks pretty damn East Asian

I believe theres an Asian character on that famous faces of Skyrim website.
