Who agrees that Nords are asses?

You accuse all nords of being racist, but isn't making overarching negative generalizations about every person of a particular race, by definition, racist?

I have to say nords especially guards are very ignorant i made a 2nd character as a nord to get away from it yet they still call you something -_-

I don't think it's ignorance it's more like banter from a bunch of guys at a real work place the manual labor sort's because thats what they do.

I don't.

Who agrees that OP is narrow minded?

I love how hypocritical no. 2 is relative to the topic of this thread. Hilarious.

Also, I do not think Nords resemble anuses. Sure, they might have them, but, uh, I do not see any resemblance.

I disagree with the OP. But if I ever want to role play a character in any province other than Skyrim that shows up to piss people off I am going to play as a Nord.

I agree they're asses..bad-asses :P

most nords are honorable and rule by might is right, my kind of law..even the "evil" ulfric doesnt assume the high kings throne when given the chance, he beat torygg in single combat as is the nords way and even drove the forsworn from markarth. I stand by his side as a true son of skyrim :P

Who agrees that Nords are [censored]s? I hate them! Obviously this doesn't take anything away from my love of Skyrim, but I just cannot stand being near then. The reasons I hate them;

1. IGNORANCE
Most Nords tend to agree that Ulfric Stormcloak is the one to follow. Pfff. Although I can understand that Nords want their province back, they are ignorant to not face the fact that a victorious Stormcloak rebellion would only mean the Thalmor come in and smash their asses. Their best bet is most definitely to stand by the Empire for the time being, like in the Great War when they aided them in the Imperial City, because the Aldmeri Dominion is way, way, way too powerful for the Nords to fend off.

2. RACISM
Probably the most racist of the races; Orcs can be a bit discriminative of other races but at least stick to their strongholds, rather than, for example that [censored] Nord living in Windhelm who feels the need to walk through the Gray Quarter shouting insults at the Elves. Khajiits have to stick to living outside cities, any Elf is unwelcome in Skyrim, and Argonians get a pretty rough time. The Nords simply hate other races living in their province ("Skyrim belongs to the Nords!"), unlike for example Imperials who welcome anyone into Cyrodiil.

3. DRINKING PROBLEMS
Practically all Nords sit around all day getting hammered in inns, some Nord NPCs only having lines such as "are you gonna buy me another drink or not?" (or something along those lines). Even Jorrvaskr, they sit all day in their mead hall doing nothing but drink.

4. HATRID OF MAGIC
Boohoo some insane magic users following Mehrunes Dagon caused the Oblivion Crisis, therefore all magic must be awful! This attitude annoys me, magic in TES is great, and they dismiss it in practically all forms. Except of course the College of Winterhold. but they still claim that they College members caused the Great Collapse (if you ask me it was merely the Sea of Ghosts, and the College is still upright because of its magical protections.

I agree. They're asses as a race.

Stupid, backwards and anyone who hates magic should die.

The racism, come on! That's just stupid and very overdone! It does'nt even make sense!
They started the empire, Tiber Septim/Talos was a nord. He was'nt racist. But they are now?! Really?!
Every other race has little to no racism. There is no reason to be.
But, despite many millions of people entering skyrim all the time, some at their own behest, they are somehow racist.
And they do look to have a drink problem, considering the sheer amount of alchohol downing they do. All the time.

As individuals, there are some nice or good nords.
A lot of Nords are normal, ok to good people.

But as a race? They're worthless gets.

The Nords' "racism" is nothing on Dunmer and Altmer racism.

If you've ever read the First Pocket Guide to the Empire, then you'd know that Tiber Septim's propaganda was extremely racist. If I were to name all the racists in the game only 2 are Nords.

This hence the sig. v

Not to mention that a magic user almost wiped out everything thats why the Nords hid the Eye of Magnus.

I agree. Nords svck, they're my least favorite race in TES. Bunch of troglodytes..

But I'm glad they're around nonetheless.. They still svck though.



So much truth in this post.

Tiber Septim was Hjalti Early-Beard who was either Breton or Nord.
