Unknown Race

Well, they were trying to look like the originals. The only problem was that they were under the delusion the Daedra were the originals.

Says what?

Because if one of the two is going to look different from the would-be-Orcs, its going to be the one's they had the least in common with...

Back then, the "Chimer" were just Altmer with a different philosophy.

Yes, but the Chimer aren't the ones trying to look like the originals... And really you can look at the Altmer or the Chimer, it doesn't matter, however since there are no Chimer to look at we must turn to the Altmer...

Almalexia.
And no, the Altmer are not trying to look like the orginial Aldmer.. They are trying to look like the ideal Aldmer.

I think (Because I personally believe it will be set in Skyrim) that perhaps not introducing a completely new race such as these Birdmen, or the Avakari, but introducing a race that is known to have existed in Tamriel but havn't been seen for ages, the Falmer: the Snow Elves. That would be a very interesting storyline for TES V: The Falmer re-emerge into the world from gods-knows-where and invoke strife and chaos into their occupied lands? :shrug:

Yea, which is why I said it doesn't really matter...
Almalexia.

Hardly a quality source since she can really appear anyway she wants, sorta like looking at an airbrushed supermodel to see what the average person looks like...

That's like, the same thing. And it still doesn't make any difference because you can still look at them to see what the Orcs would have looked like... just take away the feminine snootiness...

The falmer, if they are not extinct, are incredibly rare, and most likely very wary with humans, considering the two peoples were at war with each other for a very long time, and the nords wiped them out completely, or to an extremely low number. If they are going to be in the game, they will probably have as much exposure as the last dwarf did in Morrowind, most likely.

If it doesn't matter, why'd you bring it up?
And in fact, it does matter, because the Chimer, Altmer and would-be-Orsimer were all the same. Since then, the would-be-Orsimer were changed, the Altmer changed themselves deliberately, but the Chimer did not change (well, untill the whole Red Mountain mess), at least not a change we know about. So, the Chimer would still look the most alike the would-be-Orsimer, even if they had "the least in common with them".

Hardly a quality source since she can really appear anyway she wants, sorta like looking at an airbrushed supermodel to see what the average person looks like...

There's the whole "Sotha - Dunmer; Vivec - half/hald; Almalexia - Chimer" theory to take into account as well. You know, she was to proud to wear her the new Dunmer look so she changed herself back into Chimer appearence.
But, yeah, that is kinda right.

That's like, the same thing. And it still doesn't make any difference because you can still look at them to see what the Orcs would have looked like... just take away the feminine snootiness...

Meh the feminine snootiness would probably have been there as well.. Actually, I think the best way to think about the would-be-Orsimer is just some slightly shorter Altmer.

And I pray to god they won't suddenly have Falmer ruins littered all over the map.
Though one or two, hidden underground somewhere, wouldn't hurt, I suppose.

I didn't, you did... :P

And I'll agree about the short Altmer comment...

there aint no such thing as a "aquamer." if there was, they would have come from the Aldmer like all other elves.

Well why don't they make you in TES V be a [syyasee] slave in their land. You get the reference in SI when you read Grommok's journal and when you get Dawn Fang.


i kinda hope that there are no Falmer ruins in TES5... if there were they would be all over the map like Ayleid ones in Oblivion. its simply not economic to make a tileset that will only be used on a few ruins... unless its part of the MQ. a few cool new ruins would certainly be awesome. Giants would be hella cool as a new race, ala the Aldudagga.

Well, theres been alot of "mutant" races that have come from interbreeding between species, and alot of other regular species that died out because they couldn't dapt to the changing environment. I'm not sure about a hidden species thats still thriving, if there was one, I'd imagine they would live on an island that hasn't been discovered yet.

Already exists. They're called Lil Kim. No wait, sorry, http://www.imperial-library.info/pge3/blackmarsh.shtml. Yeah, I don't know what was going on either.

Who [censored] cares?

I hate the idea that just because there's a cat race, there's a dog race.

Christ...focus your talents on something more relevant than a possibility of an unknown race.

The OP should just make one up and leave this thread alone.

How can we have the vital age-old conflict between cats and dogs if there is no dog-race for the cat-race to conflict with?

Because you don't need to have your pets to know that's really a fight between the queer lady with 24 cats and cat-piss smelling house and the weird 40+ year old chubby lady who trains dogs at Petsmart.

Na, its Rajhin hands down, no need for discussion.... or is it Vivic.... or it could be Cyrus since he technically beat Vivec in a duel... but Vivec is the thief of the world (that has to be the strongest doesn't it)... ah, the possibilities hurt my head... :cheat:
