People tend to stick with their own people. The single-player TES games are a completely different case, as most of the intros are set up for the player to be a foreigner. But if you actually paid attention in Skyrim, you would notice that the vast majority of NPCs (named and otherwise) are nords. Also, I am aware that this is a preorder bonus. Go ahead and tell me that nearly every player won't have preordered the game (at least after release).
