Why do most people on here play as other races in Skyrim other than Nords???, What's with the constant "Nord" hate in Skyrim???

Actually a lot of people choose to play as a Nord as their first race. Just look at the community poll over 27.71% of players choose Nord over all the other races.

Nords :::: The product of David Hasselhoff and Susan Boyle.

Riiight, because not playing as a Nord means I hate them...

I don't hate the Nords, infact my first character was a Nord.

My next is going to be a Nord with Conan as my inspiration

Conan? Why not Thor from the old Norse myths?

I've always played a Nord in TES. You might be speaking of those stupid WW II threads with the Stormcloaks and the Empire, some Thalmor aswell.

My "Nord" character is a combination of Conan the Barbarian and The Mighty Thor from the old classical Marvel Comics, Hazah!!!

guys, guys. Thor and Conan are pretty much the same person. ok not really but cmon. theyre both barbarians, they both have a history of general bad-assery, and they are both all about killing. just saying. only difference is, thor has a beard.

So that means that approximately 72.29% of the population chose not to play as a Nord. Myself included. I personally have hated them since Morrowind. As many naked Nords as I kept running into in that game made me seriously doubt their intelligence. I mean really, how hard is it to keep your pants on?

No they're not the same.]

Conan=barbarian

Thor=Odin's son and protector of mankind that defeated Rognorak, a giant demonic snake, and then became a Norse-hero-god.

I'm currently playing a Nord based on Wulfgar from Salvatore's novels. Been fun so far, I don't need to worry about increasing or managing Magicka at all. I still consider my Imperial Paladin my favorite and my main.

Im not really into Marvel etc, however, Conan, what a total bad a**

I generally don't play any of the human races very often. I also usually favor magic using races, so when I do play a human, it will likely be a breton.

read the chronicles, big influence for skyrim

» Sun Jun 24, 2012 1:18 pm

I'm thinking of making a character inspired from Beowulf...

Very.

» Sun Jun 24, 2012 8:04 am

Very.

I know I remember my nord for some reason keeps dropping his pants. I have to traveled all over skyrim.... In my underpants.....

» Sun Jun 24, 2012 8:07 am

Very.

I detect bragging...

And I don't know that people hate Nords. As somebody else said, you might be getting that impression from what some are saying in debates about the Civil War, but if 27% of people played Nords as their first character, Nords are pretty disproportionately popular amongst players.

It does to a Nord

» Sun Jun 24, 2012 5:47 am

Nords are stupid and I hate them. The only one I even remotely liked was Nels the Naughty. In Oblivion, quite a few Nords were the jolly ol' drunkards, but in Skyrim they really turn me off because they are all "GRRR IM A MARCUS FENIX IMITATOR IMMA CRUSH YOUR HEAD LIKE A WALNUT GRRR HONOR,MEAD GRRR IM TOUGH MAGIC SUX ITS THE DEVIL GRAAAAAAAH"

They can all die in a whole for all I care.

i also got a nord, but as i picked my main i picked the most interesting race and that were the argonians. i didn't think about racials or other things. just the looks and nords are boring as hell. normal humans.

» Sun Jun 24, 2012 7:21 am

Now that I think about it, I've never played as a Nord in any of the Elder Scrolls games. Truth be told, I can only remember making one human character (a Breton in Oblivion) and he was rather short lived. For some reason I prefer either Khajiit or Aldmeri/Dunmer.

» Sun Jun 24, 2012 3:57 am

Maybe some people don't play them because they don't go for the only reason why majority do and that is because a nord was used to advertise the game. Of course same applies to previous titles.

» Sun Jun 24, 2012 7:13 am

I don't, but my current character does because he's a Dark Elf whose family were killed by them. My first character was a Nord and he loved em, my second was a High Elf who saw them as a means to an end.
