Especially males
All the nords i saw they have the same face and they have little diversity(I went to windhelm and the male nords most of them have the same faces)
Has anyone observed this?

    Something that only nords know; like klingons and the headridges... What's up with that?
    Is all that we see or seem

    my problem arises when i want to make a male nord character and most of the time he looks the same as other characters. maybe this problem needs to be addressed to ZOS

    All look same.


    It’s probably the beer goggles (or the inbreeding, or both)

    There's a pennywise, perfect people reference there somewhere.

    Male Nords are all the same. I tried hard to create different Nords - all look like the first one, though I put sliders to very different positions

    This is the answer for " why male players have female characters in game?" threads. Cant really make a distinct character and be happy with it. it feels like just onebtype and thats it.

    True
    My main is a nord male and i am not satisfied with his appearance and
    playing my main as a female is difficult for me. It doesnot sit well with me

    All I can say is they sure are a dirty lot though it's nothing a sheep dip and bath wouldn't cure.

    The triangle with the draggable dot (heroic, angular, soft) makes a difference on facial features. I remember when creating one of my Nord females that she looked like she was wearing lip liner when that little dot was set closer to certain areas (can't remember which).

    I don't currently have a Nord male myself, but I've seen a couple that are more distinct, at least in my opinion. Like Snorfin:

    Definitely takes work to get ones that feel less template-y though, for all characters.

    This one has problems telling humans and elves apart.

    Khajiit comes in all sort of fur colors and patterns. How many colors does say Nord have?
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Sliders are for tweakening. The only thing that can really chage the face is triangle at the top. Try different positions, in betweens and so on.

    There has only ever been One Nord.

    All others are clones.
