Now I'm wondering what Skyrim would be like if the Nords were more like actual Nordic cultures and less like the white supremacists fantasy of vikings.

@starkatt as a [possibly imagined] Viking descendant I wanted to support Ulfric Stormcloak right up until I found out about "Skyrim for the Nords". Fuck no, I'm not joining the Nazis, I'd rather singlehandedly save the Empire.

(And assassinate the emperor on orders from a creepy mummy, but ssh)

@starkatt I was so upset by that narrative. Vikings weren't saints, but they sure as hell weren't nationalists.
