No Altmer Follower, WHY!?

Evil and good are nothing but opinions on things. There being a consense doesen't mean It can be the only one to reach.

How come there is no Altmer as a follower? come on bethesda...


Because just like many other things in this game, if it isn't a part of the gorgeous and spectacular game world and it's a detail it got overlooked. This game was released before it was done properly. Given time there probably would have been an Altmer follower just like every race would have had a marriage candidate for it...but the game "needed" to make that 11-11-11 release date so there are a lot of little things like this in it that aren't really wrong, but weren't completely finished.

The majority of Altmer were scum long before the Aldmeri Dominion was even fully formed. Pompous fools who think too highly of themselves.

Yes the majority are scum, but not all of them are scum just because most of them are.

Exactly. So my generalization of Altmer being scum still stands.

Anyone else met Legate Fasendil, at the Imperial Legion camp near Ivarstead? He's an Altmer I would want as my follower, he's got a cool backstory and none of the traditional Altmer tude at all (He's a Cyrodiil-born Altmer). He's hunted Thalmor during the Great War and expresses the opinion that he can't wait til the peace is up so they can give those Thalmor what for again.

He sounded so much like the Altmer Spellsword I plan to make that I immediately thought he'd be a perfect bro for my Altmer if he was a follower and plenty of my other characters really.


I've not met him yet, but can't wait, I too am an Altmer and a friend of most races, espescially the Khajits. I'm sure this is how Anti-Semitism started in 1930's. (edit: I'm aware that the Jews were purged against long before the 1930's).

My Char is a Altmer, but she totally hates the Thalmor... i just wish i had another Altmer as a follower, either male of female.
