Are Nords only good for tanking?

    Yep, half moon shaped eyes.

    Like a D with the straight part at the bottom.

    Not your fault - nothing you can do about it.

    That has to do with the amount of eye squint you select :)

    I like to do 2H, 5 medium, 2 heavy, 60 Stam, 4 HP, queue as tank, Inner Fire (taunt), and just slam your way through everything because you're strong and tanky.
    You can solo normal dungeons too.

    Nords lend themselves best to tanking. But that is no their only use.

    You can make high survivability stam dps characters as well. Or picking a Nord can allow you to distribute CP differently to focus on other areas.

    Last but not least, Nords are well used in PVP, due to their high survivability.

    Admittedly, of 18 characters I think I have one Nord, and its a tank, lol.

    Pretty sure it doesn't, because the one I made was on minimum squint and still has D (or half moon) shaped eyes.

    I tried hard to minimise it, by making them as wide as possible and changing the angle and yet, still, they are D shaped and slightly too narrow.

    The squint doesn't change the shape of the eyes, it just makes them more, or less, open.

    A slightly less narrow D is still a D.

    Hmm, neither of mine have that issue. At all. More almond shaped.

    Just remembered another problem with them.

    They have no depth to their lips (in profile), at all, however full you make their lips from the front:

    ...and their upper lip always looks far fuller than their lower lip (or does when I make them, anyway):

    I assume they're supposed to be modelled after real life Scandinavians(?), but real life Scandinavians don't seem to have any of these issues, as far as I have noticed.

    Nordic people generally have pretty thin lips. Those who don't needs to use lip balm through all winter, at least in colder areas. The rest of us never have that problem. ;-)

    Rather than getting into a discussion about the average fullness of Scandinavian lips and the lipbalm implications of that (although, I agree that fuller lips need more balm!), I will return to my original point.

    Which is not that you can't make them full, when viewed from the front, because you can.

    It's that, even if you make them full when viewed from the front, the upper lip doesn't then become fuller when viewed from the side, which is both a practical impossibility and doesn't happen with other races.

    Actually, sometimes it happens a bit too much with other races (e.g. Bosmer).

    Sorry, couldn't resist to post my Nord in Skyrim, vanilla character (no char mods). IMO, Nords are best looking race in Skyrim.
