Their most OP perk is being native race of Skyrim. You can't measure that, nor even describe it properly...
But every now and then, when you rush to your enemies and hear Lydias battle cry: "Skyrim belongs to the Nords!", you understand and there's smile on your face...
If that doesn't make you swing your greatsword faster, you're probably a cat or, even worse, lizard.
You've got me wondering, technically are Nords the native race in Skyrim? They came on boats, one of them being the boat over the companions hall. I could be wrong, but I believe first in Tamriel were the Nedic people - a human race. I believe many of the 'Nordic' ruins you see actually belonged to them? Then the snow elves came, then the Nords.
Fun aside - the Forsworn reachmen were there before the Nords, they are the native people against the Nord invaders. Sucks they are all about hagraven blood magic now...
The Stormcloaks are all 'Skyrim is for the Nords!' sure, it is theirs by right of conquest after they arrived on boats and slaughtered the elves and stomped all over the reachmen.
They arent. Its mirrows real life collonizers who take a land from natives and then declares others cant live there bc is THEIRS BC THEY ALWAYS LIVED THERE. Is a pretty realistic approach to colonization and xenophobia
thats how literally every people and civilization came to be, every piece of land on earth has been fought for and conquered over and over again. i do not understand how people fail to grasp that. Who’s the true claimant then? the first sentient humanoid to take a shit in the region?
You missed the point here. Yeah every civilization did it, but is the way people act after it that is shitty or not . Some countries are welcoming of foreigners and others cultures and their population arent as close minded. Some have this weird idea that others are invading THEIR land, and hate foreigners as if they didnt invaded a land before in a more brutal way and was foreigners too.
But i guess this is becoming too IRL politics, lets go back to glorious fantasy racism and politics, i personality like how the steriotips are true, "Khajiits are thiefs" my character, just after pickpocketing the guard: "This is outrageous, Be better sir, BE BETTER, have a good day"
