The Bosmer Green Pact

Post » Sat Jan 15, 2011 9:46 am

There's a neat phrase I found: "The key to creativity is yanking convention inside-out." In which case, a game taking place in a society full of cannibalistic elves probably tops the list.

That's pretty good :nod:

Doesn't the Bosmer only become cannibal when at war and in their "burial" ceremonies?

My impression is that Bosmers usually don't kill peoples to eat them - but they must eat those they kill, and eating the deads is the normal course of funerals.

Though according to the 'A dance in Fire' series, they occasionaly fatten and kill peoples for the explicit purpose of eating (Unthrappa).

No. They eat only meat, and biggest of all they eat what they kill (all of it and anything). This is why when they go to war they fast for a few days, and try not to engage in war that much (they'd burst). Also, they don't touch bodies that have been dead for over 3 days

If one kills an altmer, they're going to eat it. If they kill another bosmer, they will eat that bosmer. Of course, the family of the hunter that killed the thing can also dine on the body.

I see, in that case, if implemented ingame, a bosmer character wouldn't do anything else besides eat people considering the carnage even good characters have to do in the game.

Yeah, the bosmer would die from overeating
