im disappointed that ZoS took these qualities to stereotype most Nords. not the honorable death in battle and the valor that goes with it. that they were blessed by Kyne. or that a mere couple hundred Nords slew there way across all of northern tamriel and sent the elves that lived there packing.

whatever. . .

    Probably for the same reason that stereotypes are so common in the real world... because most of the time, they're right.

    INB4 nerf DK's...

    You mentioned Nord, and that's all it takes on this forum to get a DK nerf thread going.

    Cause had they made Nords to be how awesome they really are no one would play any other race. Then it would be Elder Nord Online. Then how would Nords dominate all the other races?

    The only Nord that comes to mind is Shalidor and he's hardly a drunk. That being said, there's a running joke in the Elder Scrolls series about drunk Nords and witches, but for the most part they are viking-ish in culture, what were you expecting?

    It's like how most, but not all, Altmer are incredibly rude or how Argonians are always willing to kill themselves for some aspect of nature.. Because Argonian.

    If you WANT to live in a frozen waste, you have to be dumb or drunk or both.

    Maybe you just like snuggling with those luscious nord wimmins and keeping them warm.

    well they originate from a much colder climate, and are acclimated to the cold weather (even in their skill bonuses) so it could be very likely that the climate of Skyrim does not seem cold to them and is a perfect temperature. however if they were to go someplace rather mild like cyrodil that would seem hot and uncomfortable to live in.

    OP provided the perfect answer to the thread in the title.

    The reason they are "dumb and drunk" is because they are Nords.
