Does it upset you at all if a race is riding the 'wrong' mount?

With the free Nix-Ox on it's way, this question came to mind. Does it ever break your immersion or upset you in any way if, say a Breton was riding a Guar, a Redguard riding a Bear, a Khajiit riding, in this case soon, a Nix-Ox, or a Argonian riding a Senche or Wolf?

✭Not really.I think the only time I would find this sort of "cultural" identity great would be on a larger battlefield like Cyrodiil. Including a uniform for the army of sorts etc. But alas we are not grunts but all heroes. Saviours of the planet with superpowers.

Valve✭✭✭✭A little maybe.I like to have my characters use a specific mount for whatever reason.
My Argonian rides a guar, my Nord a bear, and my Khajiits all ride senche mounts.
So I guess I care a little, but whatever mounts other people want to use, is fine by me.Dro-m'Athra Destroyerx4

✭✭✭✭✭Not really.Maybe I'm strange, but I sort of figure that what other people do in game doesn't impact me unless it actually impacts me.
Stuff that impacts me: bringing your ice staff DPS to the dungeon and proceeding to taunt the boss away from my tank, bringing your fake tank to the dungeon so the boss is up in my healer's face the whole fight, leaving useless stuff behind in chests or nodes, choosing to exploit in PVP, etc.
Stuff that doesn't impact me: which costume or mount you choose to use from your collections tab and other generally cosmetic stuff.4 -

yeah. All my characters are khajiit but in their stories all grew up or spent a lot of their lives in Cyrodiil or imperial culture, so any of them riding a senche doesn't really make sense. culture =/= ethnicity =/= race =/= nationality etcIGN @ emilypumpkin

Guars are wild, non-sentient beasts, used as mounts in Black Marsh by Argonian folk (and in Morrowind by Dunmers). Interesting article: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/25221
As for Senches:
It is said that Senches willingly serve their Khajiit cousins as mounts, however they are treated as wild animals by other races.ZOS_Lawrence_Schick wrote: »OFFICIAL ANSWER: Moon Bishop Hulan says, “Many hairless ones are confused by the term ‘senche,’ since we Khajiit use it to mean a variety of things. It is used as ‘senche’ and ‘senche-raht’ to refer to two of the seventeen distinct furstocks, or ‘breeds,’ of Khajiit. The senche-raht, in fact, are the largest of us! But we also use the term ‘senche-tiger’ to refer to our more catlike cousins of lesser sentience. Indeed, depending upon the appearance of these cousins, we might even call them ‘senche-leopards’ or ‘senche-panthers.’ So you see that the term ‘senche’ is very flexible indeed, as changeable as the Moons.”
Edit: I forgot to mention that the only thing what bothers me regarding "wrong mount" case is that you can't buy region appropriate mounts in every province (Skyrim: horses, Vvardenfel: guars, Reapers March: Senches, Shadowfen: Kagouti, Hammerfel: Camels... and so on). Of course there may be 2 or more kind of mounts in one stable, but why we can't buy proper mount in every province?
Well, Orc riding our newest mount, Nix-Ox, in snowy Skyrim will look very out of place, but... there are other things that bother me more.Edited by Streega on November 18, 2017 4:41PM⊂(￣(工)￣)⊃ Don't-Care-Bear ⊂(￣(工)￣)⊃PC EU "House Tertia" - Friendly Guild for Mature Folks (housetertia.com)
