Come to think of it, I only want cliffracers in the game if it's something a dragon turns into after I whack it with the Wabbajack. An easter egg of sorts, you might say

"Overrun" is the key word.

transitive verb
1
a (1) : to defeat decisively and occupy the positions of
(2) : to invade and occupy or ravage

Not really the term for "there may have just been a lot of them and the dragons couldn't kill all of them and they kept stealing the dragons resources", but perhaps you are right.

Ehhh but we will see in 294 days 3 hours and 41 mints i guess....

I will die laughing if i see a swarm of them take down a dragon. "Stop it! Get away you foul beasts!" :rofl:

Cliff Racers = Dragon fodder

Actually, I don't want cliff racers. I want something new :shrug:

ACTUALLY the cliff racers were part of the reason the dragons disappeared from Vvardenfell. So no, not exactly dragon fodder. In fact, having cliff racers almost sounds like a blessing since they did the dragons of Vvardenfell in. Perhaps a spell that allows you to summon a swarm of cliff racers?

I was being facetious

First off... the Cliff Racers weren't exterminated, they were 'Exterminated from Morrowind'... as in, those which were not killed, were driven off from the island. It'd be pretty damn hard for Jiub alone to have wiped out the entirety of the species. And due to the 'comical' nature of the comment, I would highly suspect that there may not be a great deal of truth to the rumors of their destruction there even.





This is precisely the kind of thing that spurred the argument in the first place! This isn't logical or reasoned out thinking... this is... well... I lack words to adequately describe what -this- is... but I can barely read it, anyways. So moving along...


In Morrowind, Cliff Racers were portrayed as the dumbest, most suicidal creatures in the entirety of Nirn... and the fact that they weren't all wiped out in one kamikaze charge against Balmora must have been an act of the Nine.

This is -precisely- the reason we should want them back.

Because other than that there were too many spawns for them throughout Morrowind, and that they attacked you if they so much as glimpsed you from a cell's length away... we don't actually know a damn THING about cliff racers. They're aggressive and territorial. They are resiliant. They live in the mountains, and like to soar along through the valleys to hunt for prey. They may be predatorial... or hell... they may just be territorial... it's not really ever been discussed -why- they are so aggressive.

But sure. Let's all jump on the ignorance bandwagon and hate them.

After all, that's what the cool kids are doing, right?

No wait... all the cool kids are claiming that anyone who -likes- things from Morrowind obviously only does it because that's what the "cool kids" are doing.

Wow... gotta love the paradox, there.

[edit]: This post does not apply to anyone who does not want cliff racers because they would prefer new creatures. This post merely opposes those who mindlessly hate them, and the people who propagate this hatred for their own petty reasons. These are the ones I condemn, not those with explanations which actually make any kind of sense beyond: "Boo-hoo... there were so many of them, and I died. The end." [end edit]

Hillracers instead?

Your not being true to your Siggy Madcat

Cliff Racers make sense in small numbers near the Morrowind border on the east of Skyrim. They could be annoying and nostalgic, while not overrunning the game. They would also add to the diversity of animals seen across different climate regions.

Also, the legendary ability of Cliff Racers to drive out dragons could be a far-fetched (and entertaining) backdoor win for the Main Quest.

frostcrabs/icecrabs should be the cliff racers/mudcrabs of skyrim

Incorrect. If I were, I would be going "Oh no, they're putting cliffracers back in, this game is RUINED". Irrational and pessimistic.

I am, however, voicing my vehement opposition to putting Cliffracers into Skyrim. Which you should be too, unless you're some kind of masochist. NTTAWWT.

And I did not vote. If I actually cast a vote in a topic poll, it is because the poll is not frivolous.

Around the Eastern Border where the Dwemmer ruins are supposed to be HELLS YEAH!
Anywhere else would be annoying and silly,

Hell, even if its only one mountain range on the eastern border would make a hell of a lot of fans happy, to walk down memory lane.

That'd be a quick way to finish the MQ - Mage travel to Morrowind, bring back a pair of breeding cliffracers, sleep/wait for a year, all dragons are dead!
