Favorite Mer : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Wed Feb 02, 2011 2:49 am

I prefer the female ones.

If you knew what I know, you too would hate them. I suggest you go to the imperial library and do some research, as they're highly oppressive, practice eugenics that would put anyone to shame, and are completely hung up on the past due to their extreme narcissism of believing they were gods before.

Falmer all the way!

I think the Orsimer get on my nerves the least out of the Mer, so yeah. They're a close second. I dunno, I always just found the human races to be more interesting.

I really cannot decide between Dunmer and Altmer. I like elves a lot in games. These two races are proud, feel superior to a degree, and since I like playing as a mage they give me the feeling of being the right ones.

Dunmer followed by Bosmer

Falmer. They seem very interesting after reading "Fall of the Snow Prince". It's doubtful whether we'll ever see them in an upcoming game though.
Dwemer would be my second since they appear to me as a very intellectual race that once existed.

Not all of them.

In fact, pretty much every Altmer who lives on the mainland was either exiled or left because they're not like that.

I love me the Dwemer!

Also;

Orcs have always been the underdogs. They've never been like this.
Bosmer have always just lived their own lives. They never interfere with others. They are actually one of the more oppressed races, what with people frowning on their ways.
Maomer don't have enough lore to properly understand their views.
Falmer are far too unknown to make a statement about anything.

As I said, all Mer are really culturally unique and different. You can't label the lot of them enslaving xenophobes because of the most prominent ones.

I still haven't voted... I'm too confused, even with the extra choice :cryvaultboy:

The elves are stagnant! Chaos is always in motion, ever changing!

I voted Ayleid. They were a race of criminal scum, and overthrowing them is what got the Imperials fixated on stopping such people.

» Wed Feb 02, 2011 6:51 am

A difficult choice. Ayleid were great. Altmer are great though. Voted for ayleid folk to redeem their honour.

Was this before the era of "HALT!"?

I was quite intigued about the Falmer after reading the ingame book ''Fall of the Snow Prince'' (think that's what it's called.

» Wed Feb 02, 2011 2:22 am

Dunmer? Really? the freakin Dark Elf? What's wrong with you people!

Altmer all the way.

» Wed Feb 02, 2011 3:54 pm

I find it very hard to vote. I'm stuck between Dunmer and Altmer.

» Wed Feb 02, 2011 8:20 am

More elves than I thought.

Why would anyone vote "death to all mer"? Do you want them to be removed from the series or something?

You obviously have not had the pleasure of meeting Hellmouth

What do you mean by this?

Well, I'm sure he'll come along eventually, lets just say that he has a very 'Pelinal' perspective of elves

I'll message him and tell him that he has an inquirer :user:

Darn he's offline

Oh well, I'm sure he'll come on eventually.

Dunmer only if they were made more morrowind like. In oblivion they looked humanish and had a crapy voice compared to morrowind.

» Wed Feb 02, 2011 6:17 am

The Dunmer, simply because they're watching you, scum. Besides that, I like the lore behind them as well as the ingame portrayal, which is rare. For example, I like the Bosmer lore, but hate Fargoth's guts. Oblivion wrecked the Altmer for me somehow, in a vague and irritating way, but they also looked like they'd been tangoed in Morrowind. Orcs are awesome in a brutal sort of way, but the Dunmer still win on this one.

Mer lovin' scum. They're nothing but a bunch of old people who are collectively hung up with the "why back in my day" because they're so full of themselves to believe themselves to be gods. Such narcissism! I think these guys need to be dragged back down to earth, preferable in their own blood. How about you mer stop obsessing on the past and actually look farther than your own nose and do something productive. Oh, and stop the baby killing just because it's 1 shade lighter/darker than everyone else, and, therefore by twisted logic, not perfect.

That's just the Altmer... :homestar:

Doesn't matter! If they're going to say all men svck, I'm going to drive an axe THROUGH THEIR HEADS!
