GR - "4chan's video game board /v/ has put forth the idea that the races in Bethsoft's Elder Scrolls series have correlations to early real-life cultures like Native Americans, Dynastic Chinese, the Ottoman empire, and the Vikings, among others!"
IGN : How does the new The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, released in 2025 for Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam, and PS5, compare to the original 2006 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion released on Xbox 360, played via Xbox Series X/S Backwards Compatibility?
With The Elder Scrolls 6 still far into the future fans have been taking matters into their own hands with projects like Skyblivion.
Skyblivion remakes Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, and the huge mod is nearing completion, but the team could use some assistance.
Interesting....
It's cool to see the specific parallels but it's not that big of a surprise that they relate to real life cultures.
I can see where they are coming from. Imperials are an obvious one!
I never really thought of the Dunmer being Feudal Era Japanese, but they're main amount of landmass is an island with a live volcano in the center. ;)
