The most unique culture of men is Redguard/Yokuda. It has the least resemblance to a single real world culture. Close to Morocco but not really. If they were going to expand on Redguard they should look at “Spanish Moor” and Arabic influence. Could be cool to see in ESO. Khajiit is already covering the Egyptian (and Persian) influence, and while Redguard has some Egyptian already they could go in a different direction. I always imagine Lawrence of Arabia with Redguard.

Someone mentioned Russian influenced mankind culture in ESO, that would be very cool. Allods Online did a very good job of using Russian influence for the style.

I agree that the culture of Breton, Imperial and Nord is too easy/plain.

Also as a side note you can totally make a Redguard look like a Nord, an Imperial look like a Redguard, a Breton look like an Imperial etc. Their in game models can be tweaked to cross any type.

I was a bit tempted to make a joke that "men" may be a tad lacking in culture generally as opposed to "women" but... well, one does not have to make -all- the bad jokes, right?

High elves aren't unique. They're typical stick-up-their-arse "better than thou" magical elves. The only unique thing about wood elves is their tree-hugging going extreme with meat diet and cannibalism.

This kinda fits if with the topic it's more of an observation that goes along with it but I feel like men don't have a very distinct look in the game, a lot of male characters in any human like race look like they could be related somehow if not twins.
I feel like if the game just added better male hairs characters would look slightly more distinctive.
For example i feel like male Kahjiits have so many options within the game to look very distinctive all sorts of hairs and face shapes. Some may look similar but i feel like they look more distinctive then any other race.
So maybe if players had more choices they could make there human like male character look more the part therefor making that character have better culture, but that's just me looking at this topic from a different angle.

Nords are unique. They are not just brutal Vikings, they represent a unique culture full of interesting feaures - all that dragon related things. They could have rule the world, but if so many wars that keep them busy. They just have no time and resources to develop their culture.

Bretons are interesting. Men behaving like mer, ha! They put a lot of effort to become some great nation, but it seems that neither men, nor mer take them serious.

Redguards... well, a kind of dilluted nation. I wish they were more reclusive, harsh and oriental. You know, something like a human version of Dunmer.

Imperials are quite perfect. They have no culture of their own. Former slaves, they adopted a lot from Ayleids, and mixed it with the cultures of all other humans. Their "we were born to rule the world" is quite Ayleidish.
