    Not true. My main is a Nord DK tank in PvP and you'd have to drop a keep on him in order to kill him.

    With a 6% damage reduction I'd say it's probably more of the DK than the Nord part.

    Every little bit helps.

    One day Nords will be as awesome as Argonians in the game. One day.

    They just don't have the stamina or magicka buffs that other races have for DPS. If that doesn't concern you than you will be fine.

    Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

    I suppose a reasonable man can't argue with that

    The Dunmer passives benefit a magicka based pyromancer DK a lot more compared with a Nord, likewise, Imperials have solid tanking / stamina passives which are arguably better if you plan on rolling a more stamina orientated DK. However, a Nord isn't a horrible choice and the difference is minimal. If you enjoy the race and want to roll a DK Nord, go for it. At worst you're not as optimised compared with some players, but ultimately racials are being looked at, so who knows.

    As an Imperial, check out the flexibility that an extra 12% health and 10% stamina gets you. Then drink some drink and check out your insane overall stats. It's not exactly what it gives you directly but more what it allows you to do in order to improve your character.

    Ok really what makes nords so weak I been a nord since oblivion and I haven't notice anything that makes my race weak. After all we did slaughtered a entire race in one night with 500 warriors and took Skyrim through right of conquest. How is that weak.
