I agree on the Imperials being the Romans and the Nords the vikings but I'd say the Argonians are based on the incas / inhabitants of the south American rainforests. The Redguards are the turks and middle east in medieval times. Bretons - not sure on these I'd reckon western europeans.

Argonian because they look awesome in skyrim and you can make some real badass looking ones if you spend time with the character creation screen. I'm quite proud of one of the ones I made :)
True, they fell a little out of place in the province of Skyrim which is why I'm glad the devs didn't...
You have certainly put a lot of research into that post. My knowledge The Elder Scrolls lore is limited as frankly I find it hard to follow especially seem as I started playing them with Oblivion. I don't think the Nords would be happy with my Argonian character being the king of Skyrim though...
Pfft.. Money problems never go away. :) Well mine did for a few months but then major expenses in the form of car repairs threw a spanner in the works.
Spambots can get around that - spammers set up a 'throwaway' email address (or use a compromised i.e hacked server on a genuine domain) and then configure the spambot to check that mail account for the confirmation emails. The spambot program then replies to the email confirming the account...
Just to give you some ideas I'm playing Skyrim on a 5 year old PC with a graphics card that was replaced last year. I'm able to play on full detail with the Goddess ENB graphics mod which makes a vast difference in image quality without the frame rate drop.
The PC I use is a quad core AMD...
I set the 2 min wait to stop spambots from submitting multiple topics straight after another. I have now changed it to 30 seconds.
Yes you are correct it does make conversations harder, my forum gets much less traffic so it isn't really an issue. Maybe setting it to 15 seconds may help here?
Here are the settings I use:-
The user is presented with one of three random questions to answer that are based on the forum's subject - ones that if you play that game you will know the answer. One question is a random code they have to enter specific characters from.

It's the Vance Miller kitchen spammers that seems to be the worst on my forums. Almost all come from Indionesian IP addresses including the hackers that have on one occasion caused my server to crash by using a program to brute force the admin & moderator account passwords.
Banning their IP...
Going by their teeth I'd say they eat raw meat and fish. However ones that have been integrated into society outside of Black Marsh cook their food and eat off a plate rather than ripping chunks of meat off with their teeth.
No you are not the only one; I have seen other forums image bombed with weird perverted stuff including that thing with boobs and a penis. I reported them when I saw them.
As for the other spam, as a forum owner myself it's a constant battle against the spambots as they can get around CAPTCHA...
Yeah I knew they were pretty far ahead with Skywind but Skyblivion there is nowhere near as much updates & recent forum posts on it. A lot of the landscape looks done but I think there's still a ton to do before its anywhere near complete. The video looks promising though so I'm hoping it will...
Their website is http://tesrenewal.com - you may not have heard of it as they are not allowed to discuss it on the official forums for some legal reasons. You have to own original copies of both games + the expansion packs for Morrowind as well.
I don't see why hybrids e.g half-elfs cannot exist in the game so yeah I think its possible except for Argonian and Khajiit - that wouldn't work.
They probably would have to be NPC's though as it may be tricky implementing it in the race selection for the player character.
