i always play a human or very close sort, because i am very bad at sliders to begin with and the more complicated the face structure the harder it is to make me hot
what's most important in a character creator (idk how BG3 is on this) is just real-life diversity, you couldn't make an east asian face in skyrim without mods, even though you can be a lizard person
BG3 doesn't do sliders, you choose from a bunch of preset faces, hair, etc. It's decent with diversity though. Lots of good hair options, black/latino/asian faces, my partner and I were able to make characters that were basically "what if us, but hot?"
they made a different continent Akavir the 'east asian fantasy tropes' place but i don't recall whether they have humanoid people or just snake people.
but also the Imperial Empire in the setting is in my head-canon the basically the chinese empire, so clearly 'imperials' should be chinese with roman names. it makes perfect sense. i actually replaced all the imperial military with ming dynasty soldiers in the elder scrolls total war mod lol
Akavir has dragons (including a tiger dragon, Tosh Raka), snow demons (Kamal), tiger-like cat folk (Ka Po' Tun), monkey people (Tang Mo), snake people (Tsaesci), and then there are unconfirmed rumors of rat people and dog people.
The Tsaesci were awesome snake people in the in-game book 2920: Last Year of the First Era, but then Oblivion decided they were just regular humanoids. Very lame.
It's debatable whether or not there are humans in Akavir, Mysterious Akavir says the Tsaesci consumed them but humans are present on Alduin's wall and in an excerpt from a journal written during the Akaviri invasion of Tamriel. Both of which are supposed to have been created after the alleged consuming.
So there's bigger TES heads on the site, but from what I understand no
The Empire in TES goes through three iterations: The Nedes' First Empire, The Akiviri Second Empire, and The Cyrodiilic Third Empire.
The Japanese-coded guys were the Akiviri, The Imperials (Cyrodiilic) were subjects to the Akivir Potentate until it collapses and they build the third empire out of those ruins.
i don't think so. the bodyguard blades guys are samurai for esoteric lore reasons, and before oblivion part of the province was supposed to be rain-forest, but from their appearance in Redguard they've been mostly latin-named and roman-esque

Also, genital options.
You see, asian people is going to be the big LORE reveal of TES 6

That makes sense.
It's the only source of any info about the Tsaesci that's not just, like: they look like snakes and invaded Tamriel a couple of times.
So ironically, it does the same thing IRL orientalist art did to misinform westerner scholars about the "East".
Weren’t the imperials originally supposed to be heavily Japanese inspired, instead of roman?
