Dunmer and Argonian relations

Post » Thu Feb 10, 2011 4:19 pm

Whose bright idea was it to let the smurfs set up shop in Skyrim?They are like bed bugs if you don't get rid of em now you never will.(Sharpens sword) Don't worry Skyrim Daddy's coming and I am bringing Hellfire and Destruction to the smurfs.I always wanted a pet Telvanni wizard tho so I might keep one of them for awhile.

And you Argonians better be grateful or I will turn you into a swordbelt and matching boots.I wonder if you can do that with the new crafting system?

And when you sell what you've crafted, you can go like:

Should've thought about that before you abolished slavery. I'm coming for you...

But I abolished slavery to try and prevent the Argonians from attacking. Well that didn't work did it? Blame the Argonians, not me! lol.
I'm just happy you can still play as the Dunmer in Skyrim, proof is http://www.gameinformer.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/610x0/__key/CommunityServer-Components-SiteFiles/imagefeed-featured-bethesda-elderscrolls-elderscrollsv/SkillsMenu.jpg. You can see the player's race is a Dark Elf in the top-right corner. :celebration:

What I don't get is how this eruption could've been so bad, they went through it once already. From the UESP:

1E 668 - The War of the First Council; Vvardenfell erupts.
The first eruption of Morrowind's gigantic volcano, since known as Red Mountain. Ash spewed into the sky hides the sun for a year.
There wasn't an Oblivion Crisis a few year ago that royally screwed up the dunmer, there was no MoT that fell, the military houses weren't in extremely steep decline and being picked apart by the other houses, the dunmer people were, more or less, united under Indoril Nerevar and the Tribunal, there wasn't the Tribunal around to magically make everything better, and they were not fending off nord and orc raiders immediately before the crisis.

What happened was a string of extremely unfortunate events, something the Hist had been waiting for for a long time.

Well since it didn't reach Solstheim most of the mainland is probably fine too.
We have yet to hear or see what Solstheim is like right now or was like when Red Mountain erupted. They too may have been hit by ash, or the winds may have blow it southwards, which would have badly affected the mainland dunmer and not so greatly affected Solstheim.

Honestly, I think this is poppycock. Poor writing by whoever wrote the lore. An explosion of the magnitude described by the damage in The Infernal City would had definatly cause damage to Solstheim. Even if there was a hurricane at the same time that blew ALL the ash East out into the ocean there still would have been massive tsunami's. I mean, it's just not possible that the island wasn't touched. Whoever wrote this lore didn't consider the full extent of the damage a massive volcanic eruption causes.
Alright, so what's going on in Solstheim, other than a bunch of dunmer living there now? We no next to NOTHING about what Solstheim was and is like right now.

I don't think most people appreciate the power of a volcano. A eruption of the size they describe would be MASSIVE. It's likely people in High Rock could see the smoke from the eruption, and depending which way the wind blows, much of the continent may not have seen the sun for days, and seen ash deposits. They don't say how long the eruption lasted either, just that it exploded. So there is no telling if it was erupting for days or weeks...

People also conveniently forget the MOON (ministry of truth) that crashed into Vivec City with the same velocity it had BEFORE Vivec stopped it. That alone would wreck up a whole chunk of Vvardenfell AND the Mainland, but on top of that, it triggered Red Mountain's Eruption (which was btw THE highest peak in Tamriel, to give you an idea of its size.)

Oblivion did a lousy job on all racial appearances. Dunmers are ash colored with glowing red eyes and raspy voices. Not bubbly blue with widespread pink eyes , sounding as though there all on anti-depressors.

But I abolished slavery to try and prevent the Argonians from attacking. Well that didn't work did it? Blame the Argonians, not me! lol.I'm just happy you can still play as the Dunmer in Skyrim, proof is http://www.gameinformer.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/610x0/__key/CommunityServer-Components-SiteFiles/imagefeed-featured-bethesda-elderscrolls-elderscrollsv/SkillsMenu.jpg.

I hate that screenshot. It should be written Dunmer. Not Dark Elf.


-If the Dunmer still look like Oblivion's Dunmer, I'm going to exterminate every Dunmer AND Argonian in the game. If they go back to Morrowind's tribal badass look, I'll just exterminate every other race out of spite for Greg Keyes lousy inspiration for a novel.

Well, one of the developers (forgot his name) in the Art of Skyrim video directly stated, word for word "All ten races are back" so i was never really worried about that.

I think tensions will definitely be high between the races, however I think it will be fun to cut up some lizards with my longsword or fry them with a huge fireball :P

This would be a bad time to mention that my Argonian character was the head of Fighters Guild, with Modryn Oreyn (or however you spell it) as my XO.

The Throat of the World is bigger unless you count the parts of Red Mountain under the Inner Sea.

Red Mountain is larger in vertical distance than the Throat of the World, not by much, but it is.

as UESP says in the Red Mountain lore page: "After the Oblivion Crisis, Red Mountain explodes after the Ministry of Truth crashes into Vvardenfell. The explosion destroys most of Morrowind, making Solstheim and southern Morrowind the few still habitable places within the province." However, Blacklight and North Eastern Morrowind are (probably) still hospitable. I see alot of references to "Destroys Morrowind", but not much for "Exterminates the Dunmer Race", so 160 or so years after the Oblivion Crisis, and Red Mountain's eruption, we have a geographically decimated Morrowind, but the Dunmer are praised for living in inhospitable conditions which defy the norm. I believe they will make a comeback and push the Argonians back within 50 years of the current game time.

Just gotta say that Skyrim probably does not have good relations with Morrowwind or DUnmer, because when reading the Lore:Morrowind on teh UESP, it says after teh Oblivion crisis Skyrim attacked Morrowind before the Argonian invasion if I remember correctly.

Either way it 200 years later, so there might be prejudice and some hatred, but its been 200 yearas so not as bad as it was 200 years ago.

The damage caused by the fall of MoT wasn't all that bad, it only destroyed a city, Mount Doom did the rest of the doom day apocalypse.

I think we can all agree Skyrim needs a random event that plays like this.

_____________(funny khajeiit name here) "Do you have yarn ______ wants yarn if you have yarn i will lick you _______needs yarn" (Give yarn) "Oh yes yarn ____ loves yarn _____ shall protect you now but _______ need more yarn"

also what race dosent hate the Dunmer I mean skyrim is full of nords is it reasonable to expect some racial profiling? And some witty remarks to dunmer player from other races and espically my scaly little brothers

There should be conflicts among every race. Almost like racism, lol. But yeah... Skyrim is a harsh enviroment, so why not?

Almost? Racism is a must, a world with that many wildly different races without racism just isn't believable. And a believable world is essential in a game like this, if you can't suspend your disbelief to a certain degree then anything resembling immersion is impossible.
