I’m of the opinion that besides the Redguards, it’s very difficult to tell which human race in The Elder Scrolls is which just by look alone. Their most distinct visual difference is height and that’s about it, Bretons, Nords and Imperials are all white, with Bretons being the shortest, Nords being the tallest and Imperials being in the middle and slightly tanner then the others, Boring, Boring, Boring. Where’s the visual diversity?
I could never expect this to be changed officially, but my own personal headcanon/CODA of the Imperials has them look Indian. They still keep their Roman/Southern European/Slavic/Southeast Asian influences but the people themselves are Indian in appearance.
Partially I like this cause I think it adds needed visual diversity among the human races of The Elder Scrolls and to a lesser extent I do enjoy the idea having people that look like me in my favorite fantasy setting. I am curious what others think about my headcanon.
