Does anyone feel sorry for the falmer? : V - Skyrim

» Fri Dec 09, 2011 3:37 pm

I just thought they were mindless goblins who had lost their sight due to deciding to live underground. However after looking at their history and learning how they used to be very civilised until the dwemer tricked them and were complete [censored]s to them. After reading some if it, I felt so sorry for them.

Anyone felt like this?

yeah, but after they attack me and then proceed to lay in their own blood.

That never backfires.

*waits for reports of Gorbad being eaten by a Falmer*

Just kidnap a few of their young ones and problems should be limited. That way, the only motive the falmer child has to kill you is an in-born hatred against you. Not the elder of your society manipulating your opinions about outsiders you haven't met in three eras.

Naw....screw them and their worthless ghetto-ass weapons. They got what they deserved.....ambushing little bastards...

I do, until I came upon a certain residence they broke into via the underground, and murdered the hard-working people who saved their entirely life to buy their dream (which happens to be the residence), and their kids; then I just wanted to exterminate them.

No, I don't feel sorry for elves.

After entering a dungeon last night where every falmer was one or two-shotting my poor archer, I say burn their repulsive women and children and curse their ancestors. And piss in their pots.

they are most fun to kill foes for me. I enjoy killing them. I pity them after killing them though.

. Am I the only one that envisions a Snow Elf as having whitish gray skin, icy blue hair and eyes, and a Princly look?

no this is how i pictured them aswell. i was hoping for a secret camp out in the wilderness with the last remaining falmer...

Nah, playing dead is dead ruling against these idiots is a pain in the @ss. They hit like trucks some of them and they're difficult to kill. I hate them. Death to them all!!

Gone are the day's of great warriors like the Snow Prince. :sadvaultboy:

The thing that I find most curious about the Falmer, is that they have white souls... so effectively they are animals/monsters.
I'm pretty sure even vampires have black souls, (though other undead are all white) so it makes even less sense for the Falmer to not be on the same level as other living mer.

no, they annoy the [censored] out me with their poisoned weapons.

haha yes the snow prince was one falmer you wouldnt want to mess with. wonder if his spear or armor turn up in skyrim.

I keep thinking of Mass Effect's vorcha when I see the falmer. Only the vorcha seem rather more communicative...

I think that is more a design fault in that they are listed under creatures because they don't use a humanoid NPC model like Vampires do. :shrug:

But you could just say they are classed as creatures because they have devolved so much over the years.

I play an illiterate orc brute so, no.

I actually thought they were just different kinds of goblins.

I hadn't read their lore yet, but to me they seem inspired by the Moria orcs from LOTR. I could be very wrong of coarse. But learning their lore, I must say they have a fascinating story.

poor falmer. still the most boring enemies to fight.

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 1:19 am

there's a quest in the game where some guy start telling you about the history of falmer, making u feel sorry for them...right before you wipe out some ruins full off them

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 1:48 am

Slightly off-topic but does anyone else struggle like crazy when fighting falmers?

I absolutely dread entering any dwarven ruin! Stupid dwarven machines, falmers and those huge tough centipede-like animals! :banghead:

Makes me want to grab a bunch of them and get them closer to the other races, slowly getting them used to being with other races and perhaps a in a few generations be able to completely return to their rightful place among races

there is no rightful place

I have to say that I almost prefer the Falmer as the mythical elves of ages past, as presented in Bloodmoon. At least compared to what we got in Skyrim. No real diss here, it's just that why couldn't they just have put Rieklings in their stead? Although Rieklings might have been native to Solstheim, I can't remember... But you get the point.

Throughout the years of Elder Scrolls, we've gone through plenty of Goblin-like races. Goblins, Rieklings, Grummites. I'm probably missing a few here, but I just liked the Falmer more before they became "the goblins of Skyrim" I guess.

In LOTR the orcs are corrupted elves. Makes sense here. :shrug:

There was a non-mutated one in solstiem, but I beat him to death in a bar fight. (you don't mess with the Nerevarine)

In Solstheim not much was known about the Falmer yet, in fact you could do some quests for a high elf in Raven Rock who'd come to study those little snow goblins, to see if they were related to the Falmer in any way.. That was.. 200 or 300 years ago..?
In fact, those recent books in Skyrim might have been written by that high elf based on his research? Don't remember his name.

And oh yeah, the Dwarves were some pretty evil bastards.
