I feel a bit more immersed. I thought I might as well make a nord save and do alot on that character just to experience the game how they meant it.

I certainly feel more at home in Skyrim. As much as I love to play as Altmer sometimes I feel out of place as them.

Tbh, I don't feel anything.

The potions lady in whiterun ruined it for me anyway (She calls you a nord no matter your race).

I wish race actually mattered in game....

I feel like I'm more a part of the culture in Skyrim, that's for sure. And that's the same reason I'm playing a Dunmer in Morrowind

Yea I feel like more comfortable using the various shouts.

I feel very dirty, playing as a nord.

Indeed...

I'm pretty comfortable on my redgaurd tho. I use Soulrend and Bloodscythe with some enchanted stalrhim. I him a nordic redgaurd.

I feel lost and out of place as any other race than a Nord. I love Nords, their culture and religion. I love the immersion that I experience. I am a Nord myself so I kinda feel like I "have" to play a Nord, to relate.

"Hm, nope. No matter how I dress him up he's still an ape Nord. Why don't I just play a Breton, it's virtually the same thing? Time for a new character."

I'm more comfortable with any race other than Nords, Orcs and Redguards, tbh.

Also, am I the only one that finds it odd that you're still called "outsider" and "foreigner" even when you play a Nord? Can any race play this game without feeling out of place?

Indubitably.

No different, really.

I feel different playing a Dunmer, Altmer or a Khajiit, though.

Because I always play as a Nord I feel right at home. I think that has alot to do witht the fact that Skyrim is primarily Nord country.

The times whan I felt my race mattered the most, was when I was in Windhelm and played a Dunmer or an Argonian. And for the Argonian, even in a positive sense because the other Argonians treat you as one of them (which the Khajiit in the Khajiit caravans don't, if you play a Khajiit ). I haven't tried to enter an Orc stronghold as an Orc though. Other than that I feel race matters very little in Skyrim.
