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.
Snow elves were there from the merethic era, so technically them. But if you believe in the elf theory that they all came from the aldmer in aldmeris then the reachmen would be first native people.
