I think this is a great time to add the fact that I'm glad Beth added diverse skin tones to their game. So many fantasies are color less.

Altmers (High Elves) - Germans
Argonians - Mexicans
Bosmers (Wood Elves) - Asians
Bretons - Italians
Dunmers (Dark Elves) - Arab
Imperials - ancient Romans
Khajiits - Spanish
Nords - Scandinavians
Orcs (Orsimers) - Russians
Redguards - African Americans

Anybody agree with me? :D



Altmers are tall, a bit too self-confident like Germans.
Argonians are Mexicans because... I don't know.
Bosmers are short and they have little eyes so they're kinda Asians.
Bretons are Italian since they look like Italians.
Dunmers are Arabic because of eyes and mastery in magic (bombs!)
Imperials are ancient Romans since they look like them and they are good at speech.
Khajiits are Spanish since they're macho.
Nords are Scandinavian since they live in cold, snowy Skyrim...
Orcs are Russians because they are ugly, they fight and never think...
Redguards are African Americans because they are black.

This is going nowhere, non-applicable nor relevant to the real world. Stop comparing cultures of Tamriel to our world.

Utterly idiotic. Why is it that simpletons have to draw invisible/meaningless/irrelevant connections to things?

Bretons are obviously British... romans = ancient italians, so Imperials would be italians.
How are dark elves arab? O.o

Redguard are moors.

If youre going to flamebait, at least put a little effort into it. >.>

Khajiit come from a rain forest region, kind of India. But they do talk like Antonio Banderas.

Bretons are Scottish for me.

Red guards are moors.

Imperial = roman/italian

Nords = Scandinavia

Elves are elves...and argonians are from Louisiana.

Redguards are based on the Moorish culture specifically.
Bretons are Britain.
Khajiit are loosely African based.
Argonians are just plain weird, but I get a distinct Vietnam feel from Black Marsh.
Nords are Scandanavian, Vikings, Nords. Not much else to say there.
Altmer are Asian, closest to Japanese.
Bosmer are kind of traditional Elves that live in forests and shoot bows (plus cannibalism).
Imperials are ancient Romans and classical Greeks.
Orcs are your generic tribal Barbarians, with some Scottish highlander influence.
Dunmer are the most unique culturally. Somewhat Asian like all elves, but still very alien to anything on our world.

This type of topic has been posted before several times and each time it has had to be closed because of inappropriate and racist remarks. I note they are already creeping is so I am going to close this one as well.

This is a fantasy game, it has nothing to do with real life.
