In Oblivion for example, you are thrust into the midst of Imperial politics, while Skyrim drops you into Nordic lore and mythology.

So in effect you are an "Imperial" in Oblivion and a "Nord" in Skyrim, in that you are immersed in that race's culture regardless of the race you choose at the start. I don't think the anon meant that. Yes you are right about that but it is only natural to be involved or at least exposed of the politics of the region you are in. For example, I am in Spain and have been for about 7 months, and even with modern technology I am very out of the loop of many things from the US.
