User blog comment:Harold Burned-Mane/Answering some criticism against the Stormcloaks/@comment-5650580-20130913163337/@comment-17114085-20130913185924

I would like to say thanks for the support, now as is my way i will try and change your mind. First off have you read my blog on Ulfric? It brings up alot of points and questions you mentioned.

I can't lie and say some of the stormcloaks aren't a little racists, calling khajiits cat and argonians lizards. But when you enter Windhelm and see those two nords being rude to the dunmer lady it doesn't represent the stromcloaks (though it does show the racial tension in the city as you stated), one is an ex-stormcloak turned beggar, the other is just some d*** who happens to be Galmar's brother (though he isn't a stormcloak). Fun fact the dunmer was Suvaris Atheron, who works at the docks, she is the boss of some of the argonians, and according to her journal she dislikes argonians and likes punishing them (so she isn't the innocent victim many people make her out to be) also her family are atleast imperial simpathisers ,there is imperial gear in the second floor of the New Gnisis Cornerclub, where they live.(This may make the nords right as her family may actually be imperial spies o.0)

What i meant about the altmer is their archetype is mage, all altmer know magic, that is why i called them mages, but yes they act as spellswords too.

Now to the climate thing, bethesda didn't make Skyrim immersive/realistic. You can swim in the sea of ghosts with no clothes on and not get sick (impossible as the water is like -50 degrees). If you download mods that make things like weather, diet, sleep matter you'll see living in Skyrim is hard, as its so cold (Frostfall is a good example for this, with that mod on you basicly need to weak fur armor in the cold, as its the warmest armor in the game, and avoid going into water), the nords' natural resistance to cold helps alot when it comes to living in Skyrim. The altmer are used to warm temperatures in the Summerset Isles, long stays in Skyrim.
