    Or that they just never moved around enough evolve like the nords did?

    Yeah, she doesn't have the wrinkles, of the pudgy face. But the eyes, they look at least similar to Breton eyes. But lets get back on topic

    Reachmen are the mutts of the elder scrolls races.

    Hey, its a possibility.
  • July 20, 2015 4:52 PM EDT
    So the nords and Skaal have a common ancestor, similar to apes and humans.

    Dude, Atmorans are just ancient Nords. Skaal are just a little closer to them than the Nords of Skyrim.

    Yeah, but still a difference.

    There's not really any distinct line between when atmorans became nords and skaal.

    Think of it this way:

    The Skaal just live in a different hold of Skyrim. The Nords of Hjaalmarch would differ slightly than the Nords of The Rift. Likewise, the Skaal are just a little different than the mainland Nords but they are essentially the same race.

    Yeah, your right.

    I can't find it. It might have been a loading screen. 

  • July 20, 2015 5:03 PM EDT
    I disagree on them being just a little bit different, but yeah, they're the same race.

    No. They're a separate culture, not a separate race. Bretons and Reachman are both Bretons, Colvonions and Nibnese are still both Imperials.

    Hell no, they're worse than the nords but that doesn't make them a race. After seeing them hunt down a cute Netch family they are KOS for me! They didn't hunt the Netch because it was hostile or because they were hungry... THEY DID IT FOR THE LULZ! Fuck those guys!

  • July 20, 2015 5:07 PM EDT
    I agree. I just disagreed with the idea of them having a tiny difference in culture to the mainland nords.

    I'm not sure if this is a troll or not XD
  • July 20, 2015 5:12 PM EDT
    But on a serious note they do use the pieces of the netch. The game just doesn't have a animation for them cutting them up and peeling the shells off, and stuff like that.
  • July 20, 2015 5:15 PM EDT

    it's half trolling but 100% serious!

  • July 20, 2015 5:16 PM EDT
    Ok....

    It's just one of many misinformed people.

    Yes, like any appropriate hunter, they use all they can from the Netch. The Skaal even tell you that themselves. 

  • July 20, 2015 5:25 PM EDT
    I wonder if they make armor and weapons ouf of the netch?
  • July 20, 2015 5:29 PM EDT

    Nu-uh! They say it's for sport and glorious battle. T_T it's not glorious! It's 3 angry nords attacking my floaty tentacley friends...
