I personally feel like a proper Altmer. Very long face, high forehead, prominent nose, slanted eyes, ectomorphic-leptomorphic build, aloof and preoccupied with philosophy and esotericism.

I probably have a Nord influence in pigmentation however, as the typical Altmer has a yellowish hue. :P

I was fascinated by the dwemer, and a bit surprised to learn that they had in fact been an elven race. Definitely an interesting idea!

Also, their armor and weapons ROCK. I want to be able to buy a real-life replica of the whole set.

I'm a Daedric Prince. Kidding. The Nordic seems to include my phenotype, as in Skyrim it seems to include northern cro-mags and alpine-CM.

Judging only by my phenotype:

Between Imperial and Nords (since there's no Centrals).

plus some werewolf admix.

Soon we Altmer shall control all of Skyrim. On second thought, you guys can keep Skyrim, too many mountains, and too much snow for my taste. Everything in Skyrim is on top of a giant mountain! Seriously fuck that province.

I want to be a Daedra though. They're the most badass!

Ok Im the dark skinned Humans. The other Humans are too Nordic and the Animals are odd looking cannot relate myself to them in any way

The most naturally talented warriors in Tamriel, the dark-skinned Redguards of Hammerfell seem born to battle, though their pride and fierce independence of spirit makes them more suitable as scouts or skirmishers, or as free-ranging heroes and adventurers, than as rank-and-file soldiers. In addition to their cultural affinities for many weapon and armor styles, Redguards are also physically blessed with hardy constitutions, resistance to poison and disease, and quickness of foot.

Redguards hail from the province of Hammerfell. They have descended from a long line of warriors and mystic seers. Legend has it that Redguards are innately more proficient at weapons than any other race. They are excellent in all arts concerning blade and shield.

Either a Breton or a Nord, but probably a mix of the two. However the Bretons are already a mix of Elvish and Nordish (Aldmeri-Nedic). The Nords are a mix of the Nedic and Atmoran peoples.

Seeing as the Bretons tend to be shorter and darker on average and the Nords taller and fairer, it would be logical for me to be a mix of these two (As am tall, fairly big build but medium in pigmentation).

If i supplanted real life onto skyrim i'd be some form of Breton-Nord hybrid. Maybe with a distant Imperial ancestor. ;)

Edit: I guess i could be a Reachman, as the reach is a Breton territory that has a lot of history/overlap with the Nords. Plus the Reach is also my favourite place in game.

There are the Bretons who look like Alpinoids from France. TES isn't very subtle.

It's easier to make "Nordid"-looking Breton than a "Nordid" Nord in Skyrim, since Bretons are slimmer and more gracile looking than the Nords. The Nords usually look quite Cro-Magnid.

About phenotype and personality, definetely Nord.

"Nord culture centers on the quest for honor and glory, with emphasis also on the family." http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Nords

But also could fit in Breton or Altmer due to my interest in magic

I think you also could be Imperial since they appear to be based on Romans, if that makes any sense at all. Though in my opinion "what TES race you belong" can be based not only in phenotype but also your interests and personality

Personality wise... definitely not a Breton...too artistic magical wishy washy nonsense.:D

Probably something between Imperial and Nord.
