Actually orcs are the most comparable to black people. Most are voiced by Afro-american voice actors for starters.
Redguards are clearly more meant to be arabic.

I have to agree with this guy. I'm Arabian, and Redguard culture (living in deserts, having curved swords, specifically scimitars, and wearing turbans/head wraps). Orcs are always arrogant and lack in reading skills and comprehension, which is kind of what the stereotypical black guy is seen as.

I'd say they're more of Islamic Africans. Of course that includes Egyptians as well as a few other nationalities that resemble Arabians. But it also includes places like Somalia.

There was this one moment in Skyrim that I just love. I believe it was in the theives guild quest line and you need to go through a cave to get to the meadery or something.

So there I am walking through the cave (daedric bow, 100 archery, wood elf, sneaking like a pussy) and I was just taking down creatures left and right and really noticed there was a **** ton of skeevers. Like a proverbial ******** . However after just slapping them with a one hit kill with daedric daggers and there was just a mass of dead skeevers littering the ground this dude just rushes up to me and tries to shank my ass, but in turn it was he who was shanked.

So I keep rummaging around the cave and I come across the journal of the crazed wild shanker. It was a story of betrayal and revenge, how he had stowed away in this cave for 10 years training the skeevers to be his minions, his plan was almost complete and he was about to exact his revenge any week now.
And all of that, 10 years of brooding, planning, and waiting, all ruined because some ****** waltz's into a cave and mercilessly slaughters everything in site.
I honestly felt bad afterwards.

The journal states that the people of Whiterun will "Get what they deserve", and not in a good way.

So maybe you're better off killing him.

That's deep y'know? It's like time travel; you see something bad happen, and you have the option to press a button and revert time back to a point before something happened, so you have a second chance of ensuring it doesn't happen.

I mean, but it's only a game.

That shouldn't happen. His death is scripted, even if you killed all the guards and the executioner before they kill him, his head should roll off by itself.
