The easy thing to say is to repeat that TES and its cultures are a bit, 'all things to all people'. I like this, though the reason might be complicated. Since we're having this thread, may as well point out that the elements of Eastern philosophy and religion in Nordic culture shouldn't be overlooked.

The Orc's might have samurai looking armor but thats about as far as their comparisons go, Where the Yokunda (pre migrational Redguards) have a history of highly skilled swordsman called Sword-Singers who did generally the same public duties as samurai with the same code of honor, yet the sword swingers history more reflects that of the Knights Templars, but they fought for their lands instead of religion and were eventually turned on because of political ambition.

This series of mix matched histories to compare to our own follows all the races. While the Nord culture strongly resembles vikings in many of their beliefs such as marriage and names their history is no doubt very diffrent. The nords and snow elves also went to war, and the elves were either exteriminated, pushed out into lands the nords did not want or slowly incorporated into their own societies. This is a good comparison to what happened between the American Settlers and the Native Americans before the founding of USA. They landed in skyrim and befriended the local snow elves who accepted them, but as more and more nords arrived the snow elves became concerned for their culture as the nords were taking more and more land. The Nord history since skyrim is the most recent game, in their history they fled their homeland to escape constant war supposly. Intentional or not because we simply know the stories of our own history.

And I'd say looking for a real life equivalent to the Saxhleel would be a futile effort.Д«osmer aren't native american in my opinion for the simple fact that they are more scientific than native americans. Lizard guys (i can't spell their name for the life of me) are native american i suppose Argonians. I always thought the stereotypical comparison was Generic African rather than any specific country Red Guard are very easy to relate to real life. I don't think they need a real life comparison they are truly a fantasy race. High Elves, are kind of tough, I have no clue who they are like in real life. I'm sure I've seen the comparison of them and the Arabic peoples before that worked quite nicely. But I can't really pin it on any culture. I would say the Dark Elves are sort of like japanese, because of their appearance. The orcs are mongols and have signs of early germanic culture Personally I see them as more Japanese influenced but I can see the Mongolian side to them The Bretons have a french overtone imho because of their names Again fair enough

The Nords are the Sveeeedish or Norseman Yeah fair enough Tanya Parra Posts: 3435 Joined: Fri 5:15 am Someone on another forum said that Imperials had a hispanic hint to them but i disagree and another said the High elves were japanese but i disagree with this as well what do you think?
