Cliffracers? : V

» Tue May 17, 2011 3:24 pm

Skylamps. They would actually be, moretheless, the Cliffracers. In short, the cliffracers came to Vvardenfell and pushed the dragons out. At one time, dragons flourished in Vvardenfell, being drawn to the comfort of the warmth in Red Mountain. The cliffracers grew in numbers (just as they appear to do in MW, since they seem to pop up behind you every 8 seconds). At first, this was not a problem for dragons. They were actually pretty good eating. But, just as a praying mantis is a big king of bugs, 1000 ants can easily take him. Thus, the dragons found themselves in a losing battle over the territory. Food sources and dwellings became overrun and the dragons simply packed their bags and moved on. The cliffracers plagued Red Mountain and in the end, drove the dragons out.

Hah, anyone remembers this old interview? Now I can imagine the main quest - you have to bring cliffracers to Skyrim in order to defeat the dragons!

And now seriously - would you like them back? Personally I kinda like those annoying bastards and it would be pretty nice if they appeared at least near the Morrowind border...

I believe I saw a possible cliff racer in the video released today by Game Informer. Unfortunately, it seems like I'm the only one, as no one else has commented on it.

You have to find them in their nests high up in the mountains, hatch the eggs, train em and then hurl em at dragons to defeat them!
Yes!

Mo of course not, they're horrible, annoying and useless.

As much as I love Morrowind, Cliff Racers were one of the most annoying things about Morrowind.
They're fun to joke about, but in all honest - I really wouldn't want them.

Lady of the Sky also mentioned something good:

No, it's native to Morrowind.
Getting tired of topics about wanting Morrowind stuff for the sake of it being in Morrowind...

What time?

I never minded Cliff racers all too much. Sure it was annoying to have to kill all the monsters around you if you wanted to sleep, but not to the degree made out by the forums. I'd just cast a ranged spell and knock them out of the sky like a flak gun shooting down a bomber in ww2.

Maybe there could be an easter egg? Like a 25% chance of encountering a cliff racer in a small area far away from the nearest road.

I liked their existence in Morrowind, but did not like their massive spawns.

Cliff racers are originally from Skyrim. They expanded south into Morrowind.

I like to thin that St. Jiub drove them away to akavir, and that they are currently bothering those who live there.

I'd love to stumble upon a small colony of cliff racers in some Skyrim cave, and then to slaughter them all mercilessly :flamethrower:

The Dovahkiin shall find an unlikely ally in the Cliffracers of Skyrim in his quest to stop the rauaging Alduin.

There. I can smell it from here.

And you actually can use flamethrowers in Skyrim...

Try 46 seconds, to the left of the two colored city photos. The label on the picture is even two words.

Deep fried cliffracer FTW

Nice example of inter-specific competition between two organisms which occupy the same biological niche.

I had a biology exam on Monday. :nerd:

Dude.

Cliffracers are confirmed. Only they changed the name to Dragons.

Those are scrolls, not cliff racers.

We're... going to see more scrolls?

:D

Those are some funny looking scrolls then. Normally people do scrolls with tops and bottoms that look alike, and the scroll doesn't roll out of use one end. Usually they roll out evenly spaced between the holders.

Now, if you wanted to say "that doesn't look anything like a wing", then I would have agreed with you. It doesn't look very airworthy to me, but it was my best guess for what it was.

Considering Jiub drove the cliff racers from Morrowind, maybe they MIGRATED TO SKYRIM!!!!!!!

p.s. Those are definitely scrolls. The one on the top is rolled up. The bottom one is unrolled.
