Okay, so help me out here...

Nords = Vikings/Germanics

Ian Ortiz
Dylan Nguyen
Orc is definitely sub-saharan
Justin Scott
>RPG races
problematic
Jacob Rogers
>Bosmer = Anglo Saxons
Wiuodnt that more correctly be bretons?
Evan Nguyen
races are amalgamations of several different cultures
locking them down to 1:1 analogues is retarded
Thomas Morales
This. Maybe in Skyrim they were reduced to creatively bankrupt copies of irl cultures but they were never meant to be. Retards like you only encourage this awful fucking writing technique.
David Howard
Orc is nigger
Christian Garcia
dunmer = weirder poos
khajiit = gypsies
Leo Gray
Argonians - Floridaman
Jordan Smith
mongols
David Bennett
Argonian culture is based off of the mayans in ESO
Khajiit could be Gypsys
Jeremiah Gray
orcs=niggers
bosmer=slavs?
altmer=jews
argonian=chinks?
Oliver Clark
no
argonians are aztecs
Carson Collins
More like subhuman lmaaaaaooooo
Ryan Morgan
Nords are Nordics, elves are Germanics.
Logan Moore
Why are lizards always based on Aztecs/Mayans/old south american cultures? Elder Scrolls does it, Warhammer does it, etc.
Kayden Barnes
This was already figured out retards
Austin Cook
Bretons are French Celts. I'm not really sure what the Bosmer are supposed to be other than representing the nature oriented facet of Tolkien evles, while Altmer are more the snobbish, superior side of things.
Liam Perez
>Imperials
Imperial British Empire
>Nords
Anglo-Saxons
>Bretons
Feudal Britain and Ancient Britons
>Altmer
Idealized ancient Brits, like from Lord of the Rings
>Bosmer
Same as Altmer, just as a people closer to nature rather than a high civilisation
>Dunmer
British exiles in Australia
>Argonians
Based on the British SBS and MI5
>Khajit
Based on the strangeness of liberalism spread by Britain and the British Empire, and the idea of breaking out of the feudal mode. I.e. East India Company
>Redguard
Modern day Londoners

While I would agree with that pics for the most part, I'd kind of disagree for the Dunmer. Dunmer have a fair share of middle-eastern influence to them, not only "Asian Island Buddhist Culture", whatever the fuck this term tries to amalgam under a single umbrella. Balmora has a stronger middle east vibe than an asian one, for instance. Then again, Dunmer influence are pretty much a melting pot of tons of shit, it's harder to pin point a single culture for them than it is for the other races.

Altmer are an obvious nod to Nazi Germany, the Thalmor even mirror the SS and wear similarly black uniforms.
Dunmer culture certainly has much stronger middle eastern influence than far eastern ones. Keep in mind Kirkbride liked to inject his rampant nutcase leftism into the games (including Redguards being partially inspired by the Black Panthers and black supremacist groups-- yes, that is real), so putting that into perspective, certain events in Dunmer history could be viewed as referencing the history of the Hebrew people.
Carson Price
Because they worshipped a reptile god
Bentley Cox
Mistery
Adam Mitchell
TES orcs have literally nothing in common with the mongols besides a warrior culture
James Bennett
So what? Their main god was literally just a blue guy. Quetzalcoatl wasn't that important.
Chase Young
they're nomadic, they live in low temperature areas and their armor is a direct rip-off of mongolian armor
Brandon Jackson
Dunmers=Hawaiins
Dylan Russell
>Altmer japan
What the fuck is akavir then, retard?
Adrian Miller
>altmer=jews
Carter Wright
They are not nomadic, they live in strongholds.
Luis Martin
dunmer is wrong but otherwise good
Jaxon Wright
>not knowing ashlanders exist
Unlike the orcs, they are literal mongols. From their nomadic lifestyle, shamanistic religion, yurts and reliance on animals.
