And as far as "Skyrim for the Nords"? Isn't that a pretty ridiculous statement considering the vast numbers of other races that have made their home in Skyrim? And why should Skyrim govern itself if they haven't been able to keep rule held within their hands this far...? I mean, you only need a rebellion if you have lost power, right?
And as far as Talos worship goes, personally, I don't see a reason for it really. Aren't 8 actual gods enough? Why do you need to worship a man who isn't actually a god anyway? Seems to me, that is is akin to what occurs in most modern day religions where elements of other faiths are incorporated into the dominant one for the sole purpose of making the religion more tolerable to converts. For example, the inclusion of saint-worship and pagan holidays (usually through when other holidays are celebrated) to make Catholicism seem easier to take for polytheists and Pagans in general.
