I think a lot of us remember how the Dark Elf character was treated in Morrowind. You weren't a natural born so the Dunmer still consider you an outcast or Outlander. Do you think that's going to happen to the Nord player's character in Skyrim, or will the Nords be more friendly since your the same race.
I hope it is, Todd mention rasicm is back so I'm sure Nords will be happy to see their Dragon slayer as a a Nord rather than an Orc.
