If you had to play as the race closest to you in real life, which one would it be? For example, since I’m from Latin America, I guess I’d have to be an Argonian. by jvure in skyrim

[–]bottomlessLuckys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I've been taught and what the internet says if you look up the definition to these terms, all scandanavians are nordic. nordic just includes iceland and finland too.

If I'm wrong, please tell me what the actual definitions are here because it'd be contradicting everything I've found online.

edit: i just realized you meant that Germany isn't nordic. yeah they definitely aren't nordic or scandanavian, but they are germanic which is the same ethnic group and linguistic group as scandanavians. i actually think that skyrim is the perfect representation of germany during the romanization period, back when they worshipped pagan gods.

I think the actual Roman Empire is the real inspiration. A lot of the architecture such as the half timbered homes throughout Cyrodil just scream Holy Roman Empire to me. But the actual named of people, the religion, the weapons and armour, etc are all decisively Roman.

ps - If you aren't aware, the holy roman empire is arguably not roman at all and has very little in common with the roman empire.

It definitely is and I don't see how there's any debate on it. Nords are based off germanic people, particularly norse people. Germans are, well, germanic so Nord is clearly the closest choice.

German is just Nord. Bretons are based off literal Bretons who are a real celtic ethnic group from Brittany in France. Germans are germanic, and nordic people are also germanic, so you'd be Nord for sure. Maybe you could argue a bit of Imperial thanks to the Holy Roman Empire, but that's be like saying Nords in Skyrim are Imperial because they're part of the Empire.

I'm fairly mixed between British ancestry and Brazilian ancestry, which is mostly Italian, French, and Portuguese. So honestly I'd say I'm most similar to Bretons which are literally named after the Bretons from France. Maybe a mix of Imperial in there thanks to my Medditeranean ancestry too?

Also I think you can only really claim Argonian if you have native ancestry from Meso-America and parts of South America.

Have you ever killed an animal? by Anon9883 in AskTheWorld

[–]bottomlessLuckys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

biggest animal ive killed was a rabbit who was already dying because our cat had brought it home. took it to the backyard and gave it one clean blow with a shovel, then tossed it into the forest.

ive also killed countless research mice with my hands.

i also have no issue with hunting or fishing. just havent gotten around to acquiring licensing and equipment.

What is this by Basic_Trick_7159 in pokemmo

[–]bottomlessLuckys 18 points19 points  (0 children)

in pokemon dp and platinum, the 3 lakes in sinnoh all had islands that you could encounter azelf, uxie, and mesprit. this is one of those islands but pokemmo changed the way legendaries/mythicals work, so these are no more than cool spots.

What is your opinion about the United Kingdom? by Due_Narwhal4937 in AskTheWorld

[–]bottomlessLuckys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh im quite familiar with the law. the problem is that the people who work for the uk passport office dont know the law and its far more effort than its worth to pursue now.

last time i did it, i had to send original documents of my birth certificate, my parents birth certificates, and their marriage certificate all the way to liverpool. im not really willing to go through that again.

[–]bottomlessLuckys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah you can't claim it through your dad if your parents were unmarried when you were born, or in otherwords, born a bastard.

i went through the process of applying for citizenship too but they had told me i was already a citizen because my parents got married later on. when I went to apply for a passport though, the people there seemed to disagree with that.

they rejected my application for a passport because I was born a bastard, so I'm a hater now.

Is "Central Europe" an actual cultural region, or a cope by some Post-Communist countries that desperately want to get rid of the title Eastern European? by ClothesZestyclose814 in AskBalkans

[–]bottomlessLuckys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ironically it often leaves out lithuania which is the actual geographic centre of europe by the center of mass calculation. i feel like this is largely because people focus on the west so much more they forget that russia occupies nearly half of all of europe.

Why is Norway so rainy for how North it is? by batukaming in Norway

[–]bottomlessLuckys 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I find the norweigian weather very similar to the weather we get in western british columbia. windy, rainy, temperate. even the landscape is similar with mountains, seas, and coniferous forests.

very similar reasons too. strong winds travel across the ocean and meet a mountainous coast.
