3.1 Whiterun

                The first thing I noticed while I was walking around Whiterun is the priest who is hanging around in the town square. Shouting all this nonsense about Talos. I figured I might as well see what Talos was. He told me that Talos was a nord who became a godly figure. With his limitless wisdom and power. He also had this nifty ability called the “voice”. I guess he had the power to use shouts too. It seemed like worshipping Talos brought out the extreme in the priest as he said he wasn’t afraid of being arrested.               

                Talking with various residents gave me the feeling the Whiterun is a city full of mainly nords. Many residents would casually drop in the fact that they are a nord. For example one resident said something about being a strong nord. While another person was complaining how female nords should be able to do anything a male nord can. Be it slaying a giant or cooking a meal.

                Something I noticed was the lack of non-human races. I didn’t see one argonian or khajit while exploring Whiterun. Maybe I just didn’t search the right places. One resident actually told me that khajits are supposed to be skilled in trade. The conversation with her also gave me the feeling that khajits don’t have the best reputation out of the races in skyrim. That explains why so many people say “don’t even try” when I just happen to crouch behind them.
                 Whiterun was the first major city I was exposed to. Immediately I could tell that I couldn't get away with as many things as I did in Riverwood. I felt like the reinforced the idea that Riverwood was made to be a place where players who noticed, could take advantage of all the items laying around.
