I wasn't chilled in... I'm sorry the way I type makes you angry but it aint changing. Plus I don't change the size just the color and bold.

I like to be different it's quite boring seeing the same thing over and over plus it makes my posts stand out from the usual suspects. If you would like to discuss this further however PM me, or through a shout on my profile as I don't want to derail the topic at hand any further.

@koreankracker
I was wondering that as well really can't wait to get my hands on Skyrim.

It's hard for me to answer some of these stark "yes" or "no" questions. I really like how the male Dunmer look, though I think the females look like aliens (or almost avatar-esque), but I still answered yes for females simply because they look better than they did in Oblivion.

When I do play a Dunmer it will probably be a mix class. A battlemage.

I'm still not sure on which character I'm going to pick first (with how great they all look it's so friggin' hard), so I just picked no for undecided.

And I picked "I'm quite fond of them", because I would never want to be a dunmer IRL, but they're pretty cool and I'd happily buy one a drink :foodndrink:

Honestly, I think pretty much everyone looks kind of ruthless so far in Skyrim. Like, I have not seen a single character model that made me think, "I should go poke that guy/girl in the chest." It's not just the Dunmer that got an intimidation upgrade. :B

The Bosmer are a huge leap in that regard. Hopefully there will still be some wimpy characters in the game (I'm sure there will be).

Never made me angry and don't remember saying so :unsure2:

If my reaction to your way of posting a reply made me look angry then let me tell you I had no such intention.

Actually, you should see much more dunmer than would normally be in Skyrim, and not just b/c the provinces are adjacent....

From TIL:

Oh, I'm sorry I guess I just read it that way,.





Yeah, I think another member pointed that out as well. I'm really looking forward to see how the Dunmer are surviving as a race and what measures they're taking. I mean they can't really all be hatful of outlanders not that they are them, so this makes me think they'd have to bond more with other races. Seeing as the Nords allowed them to crash in Skyrim however must show that at least those two races would better accept one another, but they also may pull a district 9 and have all the Nords hate the Dunmer for being there.

I wouldn't say they look evil. Intense, is the word I'd use. They've always been described as a serious and dour race, add onto that over a hundred years of living as refugees amongst their formerly ancient enemies after Lie Rock crashed down causing Red Mountain's eruption (not to mention the Argonian invasion that happened soon after)... You'd look pretty pissed off and serious as well.


EDIT: stupid words getting all backwards.

1st post.

Really love the series [can't wait for Skyrim].

As for Dunmers I think they are cool but I already know I want to be a Breton just like in Oblivion. :wink_smile:

The Dunmer have few choices when facing exile and their numbers dwindling on endangered. Theres a thread up about continuing oblivion characters, and because mine is a dunmer I assume its relevant here too. Anyways....

I intend to continue playing as the Nerevarine,....I've done this through Oblivion and plan to continue into Skyrim.

Heres my post from the other thread:

RP backstory

Welcome to the forums! Have a http://images.uesp.net/c/c4/Fishystick.jpg!

Thanks this forum seems really cool so I guess it will be a regular place for me [at least to talk about the game].

But I don't like fish sticks.. :shakehead:

Of course im gonna be a dunmer.. im always a dunmer the first time around. Dunmer assassin no less. I love the way males look, and females to a certain extend. I'm interested in seeing how many different scar types we get to choose from

Exactly my thoughts.

Welcome to the forums!

PS You stole the white on purpose didn't you <_< fine guess I'll go back to green.



You may want to rephrase that...but yes the male Dunmer are definitely look more bad ass than the females.

There will always be some who cling to the old ways, after so many years it's pretty easy to come up with a personal view on the happenings. Who's to say that the supposed nerevarine wasn't just a person who together with ashlanders and other supporters conspired against the tribunal? Vivec proves his power in the trials and dissappears, maybe it was his last statement of godhood before he ascended into the heavens where he rules?
Far fetched ideas spawned from no evidence or personal recollection but when you're a fanatic it dosen't really matter. I would seriously doubt that a lot of the dunmer still follow the tribunal. However I think that when a lot of time has passed and most people from that time are dead a small revival isn't illogical.

Also on a side note, morrowind did go to hell when vivec dissappeard, the argonians did attack morrowind when they had the chance... What does this tell? That the dunmer went soft and failed,
therefore the whole "we can't be misslead or show remorse this time" will be a popular view among some nationalists I can imagine.

It would be nice to see some sort of house or new organisation that strives to bring back the old "glorious" days of the tribunal.

Like others I first thought the Dunmer looked too evil and even demonic, but looking at them again it's actually not that bad. Some of these guys could look quite amiable if they could manage a smile.
I've also noticed that every face is just as gaunt as the next, changing that just a little could do a lot for their look. Especially the females who are way too gaunt, which is a large part of the reason they look pretty awful.

I'd rather see some screens of NPC's, or even videos. I'd like to be reassured that they don't all share this look and apparent manner.
Especially since I suspect Dunmer will be one of the most affluent race besides the Nords, perhaps even outnumbering them in the east since there ought to be huge amounts of refugees besides dunmer that already settled Skyrim in the past.

I think I'm convinced to start out with a Dunmer rogue again though, as always.

Fans will never be happy. You cried like babies in oblivion because they all looked the same, now they give you the model of what the dunmer should always have been and you still cry for being too evil. If there's ONE grim looking race in the world of TES, that should be Dunmer. Especially after what happened in their homeland. I find the presets amazing so far for all races. Lore-wise the only one I wouldnt agree on would be bretons.

I truly love how they all have the ghoulish look they had in Morrowind. It really sets them apart from the other elves instead of just being a pallet-swap.

I hope they bring back the smoker voice.

Heh! This mean we're getting talking bats in Skyrim?

Agree, I can say that im really looking forward to making my dunmer Assassin. The grim look is more fiting for the race thats been cursed in more ways then one and fits the lore.

They look too evil. I thought they were supposed to be kind of good looking in a "dark" way.

If the Ice Wraiths in the gameplay trailer and screenshot are anything to judge by, I'd venture a guess that ghosts/spirits in general have been improved so that they don't float at a snail's pace anymore. In retrospect, the wraiths and ghosts of Oblivion were kind of silly. :tongue: So, the dunmer ancestor ghosts should be improved as well.

Really hope so it would be nice to get a Spectral Dunmer follow you around for a bit, maybe able to summon different ones: Archer, Mage, Warrior.

That would be awesome! Especially depending on your play style. Say you're a warrior, getting up close and personal against enemies, but you would like to have magic backing you up in a fight. Just cast the ability, and bam! Instant mage ally. :flamethrower:
