My main char in Oblivion was a Nord so I'm loving all this Nord action

I hope Skyrim is almost all Nords... more of them for me to kill.

This is really all I hear from you. How you are going to kill ALL the Argonians, ALL the Nords, etc.

What a violent person you are! :rolleyes:

Your in their home country. What do you think?

That with the adding of Orsimer and Dunmer refugees I exspect about 40% of the population to be Nords, about 10-15% for the Orsimers and Dunmers(each) and the rest to be divided between the other races.

There are too many White people in England and America.
There are too many Africans in Africa.
There are too many communists Russians in Russia.

They're all in their own home land, and if anything I would expect Nords to greatly out number any other race, considering Nords are built for Skyrim's terrain and weather, and the same is for the other races.

You sure? Nords just don't like elves, whereas Altmer don't like anyone but their own race.

I'm sure the third-place is up for grabs for someone besides Nords.

the nords have issues with all elve cept mabye bosmer and the altmer barely like eachother theyre #1 dunmer #2 nords #3

I won't be killing Argonians, they don't bother me. Just the nords.

Playing as a Nord or Dunmer will probably give you the most politically interesting play throughs.

I expect the nords to be around but I found the mix of people in Oblivion and Morrowind fine so I expect no less from Skyrim.

I hope there's a good amount of Khajiit. They look so good this time around that it would be a shame for Skyrim to only have a handful of them. I don't want that "if I want to see a Khajiit, I'll get in trouble with the bandits and see a bunch of them". I want some Khajiits to play an important role in quests and I want some good Khajiits who have a personality.

I never thought that there were too many Dunmer in MW, though there were a lot of them, but it was their homeland.

I would expect to see a lot more Nords than any other race. In fact most of the small villages should be all Nord, just like the Ashland tribes were all Dunmer in MW. In the major cities I would expect to see the other races, say maybe 70% Nord and 30% everything else. I know that doesn't leave a lot of room for the other races, but this being their homeland it is what I would expect and seems to be about what MW was like.

I think it's safe to say there will be as many Nords in Skyrim as there were Dunmer in Morrowind percentage-wise. I think Dunmer became a lot of people's favorite race due to Morrowind. I'd expect the same from Skyrim. Still, if you already have a favorite race going in, Skyrim is unlikely to change that. Although I do think you'll be enticed to play a Nord every once in a while.

I find it interesting that you would think that America is White people's land. 200+ years ago it was the American Natives land. During that time white man disease and guns killed off so many that we can now call it white man's land.

Add to that the fact that Skyrim takes place 200+ years after OB. Factor in the major global events that occurred during that time. Now look at Morrowind. Is it now (during Skyrim's time) the land of the Dunmer, or the Argonians?

I guess 200 years could make a lot of difference in a countries population. I just listed 2 examples here, one real and one fictional. I suppose given this that Skyrim's population could be rather mixed, though it would still be considered the land of the Nords.

I really like this table as a good example of how the native population should be in thier own land.

Sorry for my stupidity. What race is the powerful elf? I heard the Dunmer(Dark Elves) is the powerful elf.
