What would be a reasonable "maximum" height to make a character? 1.15? 1.2?

Obviously you could make him/her look like a Hill Giant, but what would be the number that would be at the top range of 'normal' looking?

I'd like my redguard to be a big strapping redguard

I'm also assuming that, the engine keeps the body proportional to the species/"race" standards? So a 1.1 Redguard will not just be a tall lanky guy compared to a 1.05, but will actually be a bigger guy?

Buffy should just get an Altmer (my most hated race >:] ) to stand at the end of a huge stairwell, crouch under him then shoot and arrow up through his chin and let the ragdoll fun begin !!! :dance:

Looking at the Wiki for the Player.SetScale # command



So does this mean you really need to set the command in both views to get the change to be for both views?

No way to change the view for the NPC interaction window?

So we always hear what Bosmers people hate in the game...so who is your favorite Bosmer? Since girl Bosmers tend to get way more love than boy ones try to list one of each. Mine are...

Female: Cutter (She's just so messed up, it's really great. My vampire didn't feel guilty about feeding on her since he figured she'd probably like it.)

Male: Rendir (He's always so happy and pleasant. He's one of the small handful of characters that actually looks happy to see my character from the moment he/she leaves the sewers.)

Fave Bosmer?

1. Daenlin. He is Buffy's godfather, archery master and neighbor. She adores the old elf.

2. Nilawen. She is a contemporary of Buffy's deceased mother (Terry Ann). Buffy was born upstairs in Nilawen's shop and lived with her until she was old enough to join the guild of mages and move into the guild hall.

3. Alawen. The ranger from County Anvil is the finest archer in all of Cyrodiil and a wonderful friend of Buffy's. Alawen's mother was Diana - an old girlfriend of Daenlin's. . . . Although twice Buffy's age, Alawen has a naive 'creature of the forest' personality that quite endears her to Buffy.

4. Thaurron. The Anvil mage has a pet imp! How could one not like that? He is also a perfectly charming guild mate. In Buffy's world, his brother, Thernd, has half a dozen domesticated imps. He uses them to patrol the Valley of Horses located beneath the bridge to the Arcane University. He runs the mages' stables there, called Equestria.

Bosmer are my third fave race, after the dunmer and the altmer, respectively 1 and 2. I'm a total elf lover... :wub:

The Bosmer are my favorite race, and I agree that I wish the females were smaller like the males in game. I hope that is implemented in Skyrim. I don't have any warm fuzzy sorts of feelings for them, though. From what I've read of them, they are feral and aloof, unpredictable and secretive. They may welcome other races, but they'd eat them just as easily.

The "annoying" qualities that people typically react to seem out of character with the lore about them though.

They fit my favorite play style very well also- sneaky, light armor, poisoned bow and dagger.

Another thing is I hope they put back the totally black eyes as an option as they were in Morrowind. That really fits well with their feral qualities. It looks really cool. I got an eye mod just for that.

Peace, +Petrose

I actually quite like female bosmers alot, its the males that get on my nerves. They are too friendly lol.

I also love the Bosmer. My favorite Mer after the Dwemer(Too bad they vanished and all, I would of loved to play as one). So they are my favorite playable Mer. And fourth favorite (playable) race over all. After Argonians, Khajiits and Nords.

Thank you! :twirl:

Your welcome haha.

I wouldnt even mind the males if they werent so damn peppy and friendly.

"I get the feeling you and I are about to become VERY close! :hubbahubba: "

"BOUNDRIES ya little weirdo! :toughninja: :verymad: "

My favorite Bosmer?

Methredhel I have had a crush on her since way before I ever did the Thieves Guild questline. Its finders keepers, and she's a pretty good finder.

Cutter One of the only goth characters around. I love her passion for blood.

Thamriel I always feel so sorry that she doesn't hear her voices anymore. I wish there was some way I could bring them back for her.

Daenlin Just an all around cool guy.

Well. . . :blush: even Buffy must admit that some of her Bosmeri brethren can get a bit. . . annoying? Here's an example from Episode 11 of her Journal:

* * *
"Are they gone? All of them? Yes, I'm Erthor. Who are you? I've been too scared to leave since those walking dead moved in here. Are you here to rescue me?" The dark haired Bosmer with saucer eyes finally shut up for a moment.

"Yes, my name is Buffy. Well met, Erthor." I quivered the arrow. "Adrienne sent me, and I want you to come back to the guild with me. Oh, and yes, all the zombies are dead."

"Thank you, Buffy! Thank you so much! But you don't look like a mage."

Again, the 'don't look like a mage' stuff! I shouldered the bow, lifted my chin and planted both hands on my hips. "Would you like to wait for someone who looks like a mage?"

"Oh no!" Erthor gasped. "I-I meant no offense. Don't leave me. Please."

"Follow me then." I grabbed a burning torch from the wall and began to retrace my steps toward the cave's exit.

"Thank you again," Erthor chirped. "You're not from Skingrad are you? Is Adrienne mad at me? That's an awfully big bow. I'm starving. Do you know what the guild is having for dinner tonight? What kind of a name is Buffy? I'm right behind you. . . ."

The short trip back to the guild was uneventful. Erthor tagged along like a puppy, gushing his appreciation. I thought of my Bosmer mother and chuckled to myself. I could understand, perhaps, why she chose a Breton for a mate.

* * *

Haha, that quest is by far my least favorite recommendation quest specifically because of Erthor.

But there are some male bosmer I dont mind. I dont mind Glarthir too much to be honest, even with his craziness.

I don't play them that often but I like them. I'm little also, around 5'2 and they remind me of me. And of course, the best reason why they are awesome is because they are elves, and elves are awesome! I don't think that many people will agree. I never understood why people hate Bosmer so much... I don't even hate the Adoring Fan!

If there is anything I can do, I am humbly at your service...

:lmao:

My favourite Bosmer?
Well that's easy. Buffy and Teresa, hands down =P

In (my) game though, I quite like Daenlin. His advice on archery has helped many of my characters.

Oh I totally agree. That is why I love them. While quite friendly and happy, they have this darker side that makes playing one so interesting. A Dance in the Fire is my favorite book in the series. The Wild Hunt, the cannibalism, Valenwood itself... It just blew me away. It's also quite funny in places. I LOVE the part with the clerk underneath the huge bug and trying to get out while the arrow happy Bosmer keep shooting it because they think it isn't dead yet! XD

Teresa says: :hugs:

Yeah, I love that book series as well... for all the same reasons, too.

+Petrose

:blush2:
On a side note. I get that the male Bosmer's overfriendliness can be a bit annoying, but the first character you meet outside of chargen in Morrowind was a Bosmer, and the most hated one at that. I've never understood. He's nice to our characters in a very hostile land. Compare that to how many people like Dunmer, and how often they abuse the player character.

I just started Morrowind yesterday for the very first time! I saw Fargoth, but since I heard that so many people hated him, I steered clear of him. I didn't know he was friendly! XD

Oh, Fargoth's plenty friendly... If you're friendly to him, that is.

I don't get all the hate for Fargoth. He's not as bad as, say... Gaenor.

Bosmer are awesome! That's what my next character will be.

My favorite girls are Methredhel and Carwen. They're so enthusiastic!

My favorite guys are Thurindil, Thoronir, and Thadon. Thurindil is crazy and crazy characters rule, and he's hot. As for Thoronir, he's friendly, and he owns up to his mistakes. I have a high level of respect for humility like that. Thadon just seems like he'd be fun to hang out with.

My fav Bosmer is definitely Glarthir. Love that guy. Still convinced he knows something, the deep dark truth about Skingrad, but I've never managed to figure it out. Wish somebody would do like a whole quest-line mod based on that guy.

Having a hard time thinking of any other ones.
