Why do people always think that Altmer are asian? Apart from a picture in the Oblivion manual which showed them looking similar to a samurai warrior out of armor there is nothing referencing them being asian. I'm not by any means being racist but High Elves are what like 6ft 5inches tall on average and they also have very strong features, and lets face it, Japanese and Chinese are not the tallest of people, the tallest people in the world are Dutch and most europeans, I agree to a certain extent they could be greek's based on their knowlege. I personally think they are based around The Holy Roman empire, based on their views and pollocies, or at least something similar.
