A quote that says he looks like a Dunmer was just posted.

From 2920. Doesn't he also drink tea in that?

No, that's Almalexia.

There's also this quote at TIL:
"That's a very difficult question. If by "fiction", you mean completely invented out of my imagination, absolutely none of it is fiction. There's some conjecture based on research, certainly, and any events that take place in the distant past are open to interpretation. I could not say with certainty what the precise words of a conversation between the Duke of Morrowind and his mistress Turala, for example, but I know who she was, who he was, and where the conversation led... I would not consider that 'fiction,' because I believe that they are true, if not exact."

It makes me think that 2920 can be trusted. Whether or not Almalexia drank tea might be debatable but I'd bet a famous historian can be trusted enough to know at least the general details of the individuals whose lives he's writing about (especially when they're still alive).

Very well. I'm convinced. Sotha Sil's skin should be Dunmeri. He just doesn't look Dunmeri at all in Tribunal, and this MIGHT be because Almalexia's spells cause deformation.

Wait. According to 2920 Almalexia has "long black tresses"... And Vivec is http://www.imperial-library.info/content/morrowind-first-seed-book-three-2920-last-year-first-era not a literally half-dunmer. Or he just like the Moon, didn't show his another side? For me, that book proves nothing, too long time passed since 1E2920, Almsivi are gods and they could change their appearances. I seriously doubt Sotha Sil had any reason to keep his Dunmer look after years of isolation in his City and centuries after the last year of the First Era. Whom for?

http://pics.livejournal.com/morningstarlady/pic/006c7xs9/s640x480 picture of Sotha Sil showing how he's very Dunmer. First, there's the pale grey skin on his head, and if that doesn't convince you, look at his hand. Remember, when blood stops flowing underneath skin, the hue lightens (because skin is somewhat translucent). If you take that concept and apply it to the Dunmer's ashen skin, the concept remains the same, the overt blue and some of the red (because they still bleed red blood) in their skin goes away. Their skin is naturally pretty ruddy to begin with, so you should really think about adding blue into his face and then you'll see his Dunmeri skin come back.

Geez, I can't believe this is in contention. When you deal with the number three, anything thematically significant among two of its members will ALWAYS extrapolate to a third. Is one guy a Mage and one guy a Thief? Then the third is a Warrior. Did #1 just backstab #2? It's because of #3. It's the TES Law of Three: If two, non-Enantiomorphic concepts are bound up together, then there will be a third bound up there as well. Except when there's four. Or five.

His hand is about as Dunmer was it gets. Thanks for clearing that up, Mehrunes.

Logically, metaphisically and mathematically... I have to give up.

Even though I pointed that out already <_<

Thanks, Hellmouth. Don't be jealous.

After taking a closer look at that screen, it looks to me like the used the head of a corprus stalker when they made the Sotha Sil model.

Looking at Sotha Sil's Texture itself, I think you might be right. They just edited it slightly.

We're on to you Bethesda... :stare:


EDIT: So this is what Sotha Sil is supposed to look like?

There were (as with all of my pics) taken from in-game and have been marked with the:
HELSETH SEAL OF QUALITY :thumbsup:

P.S. I retextured Sotha Sil's face and hand myself, so don't bother looking on the internet for the mod I used.

It's only because I'm not a daedric prince.

Lol. I actually like Sotha Sil better with the Dunmer face that I made. I think that I'll keep it.

To be fair, I am quite rakish.

Well if I had 4 arms, I'd be that much cooler! But, it's the whim of Nurgle and Khorne I remain with my given 2 arms, though altered.

I can't wait until you realize Tzeentch is the best, and you are driven mad with the revelation.

Yeah....not happening. Bunch of scheming weaklings.

Us being scheming weaklings doesn't make it any less [censored] hilarious when Tzeentch tricks your dumb boss Khorne into being his errand boy, and he doesn't even realize it. For all his bloodlust, Khorne can be wrapped around Tzeentch's finger at his whim. Is that really strength? Khorne lacks the intellectual capacity to figure out the long term designs of Tzeentch, he only sees blood and battle.

Anyway, go back to your blood ceremonies while us Tzeentch cultists do the real work; rotting the imperium from inside.

Ha! You fail to remember Pappy Nurgle always seem to royally screw up your completely convoluted plans and designs. Bow before the god of the inevitable! Bow before entropy!

Nurgle is a rotting sac of pus and gas who doesn't do much apart from making the immediate vicinity smelly. Give me one example of Nurgle successfully damaging the Imperium in a permanent way. The space marines can plow through his zombies like the french foreign legion through a few layers of wet paper bags.

But the FFL can't.

I bet you a guardsman with a semi-broken Lasgun could destroy Nurgle's mightiest forces.

Says the cultist who cannot even see where his own butt is, or even remember where it was before. And that all your soldiers are nothing more than tin cans used as target practice for 6 year olds with 90 year old BB guns.

Wha-?
I've lost track of what's going on here... :confused:
