You've JUST started hating them? By the nine! I've hated them since Morrowind, ever since they spat on my face, stole my sweetroll, and shot me in the knee.

Saying all Altmer are Thalmor is like saying all Germans are Nazis. See how wrong that sounds?

The Thalmor are a** holes. I saw some on the road, and I really wanted to strike them down.

...but I didn't.


Well I did, or more accurately my character and Lydia did.

I suspect my player character will be an Altmer at some point. But not soon.

The arrogance is something I love to hate.

I hate bosmer more because of the Adoring fan... oh wait did I just base the entire Bosmer race off of the Adoring fan! :).

The Thalmor are arrogant but not all of Altmer support them, when you go the the college of winterhold you see an argument between Faralda and Ancano because Faralda distrusts the Thalmor despite being an Altmer herself. Also if you player an Altmer, the Thalmor still act arrogant against you.

Spoiler
And as it turns out, Faralda was right not to trust the Thalmor

My Nord is not a big fan of them. He has started carrying an extra weapon around just in case he runs into them escorting a prisoner. Free prisoner, give weapon, advise fighting for their life.

He has also been collecting black soul gems to trap their souls, as his personal hatred runs deep, into a very dark place.

This hatred is restricted to the Thalmor, other High Elves are left in peace, unless they turn out to be sleeper agents.

I've hated High and Wood Elves as long as I can remember.
Dark Elves, now those I only dislike briefly due to them looking so terrible in Oblivion and losing their stereotypical awesomeness.

I despise the Thalmor more anything else, More that Alduin because he's basically doing what he's destined to do.

But the Thalmor...no excuse for what they do other than Elven Supremecy, Altmer Supremacy to be more specific.

Altmer Women are pretty though, Niranye being the most beautiful woman in the game in my opinion.

Ok i wont base the entire race around it but I am really starting to hate the High Elves in Skyrim. Stupid Thalmor. First they take over the empire and they have that cocky attitude.


I remain an Altmer. . well, part. . . the rest is Daedric and a mix of Nord, Redguard, Dunmer and the Snow Elves of old in the ancestry. . . but I remain (via my character anyway) proud and loving of The Altmer race, though the Thalmor have a horrible attitude and represent some of the worst of what an Altmer can be. Just remember Chancellor/Potentate Ocato, and the good Altmer who wrote "The Rising Threat." Remember Galerion and the Pjisics, and be reminded that there have indeed been and there continue to be Altmer who are both good and great. Not all are shameless jerks.

Truth be told, I found I disliked both the Thalmor AND the Stormcloaks in this game. Two completely different groups of obnoxious, disgusting racists, as far as I could tell.

My next character is going to be an Altmer, just so I can be a superior being and try to co-operate with them. I just hope the game won't force me to kill them. :)

Not really, all they have is +50 Magicka and a once per day increased magicka regeneration. The Racial differences in skyrim are a lot weaker then the differences in Oblivion. Using spells against Warriors and Archers that Magicka does help but against other mages altmer get killed fast since they're just paper cannons, Breton on the other hand have a passive 25% resistance to magicka and their daily power absorbs 50% of magicka from incoming spells. So Altmer are not outright better mages in all circumstances (and trust me dragonskin in a battle against multiple tough mages recharges your magicka far faster then high born does).

In the end the differences don't really make that much difference. At the start of the game you get a novice hood and robes. Straight away just go the college of winterhold to get the novice destruction robes and another novice hood. In the 1st real quest you get an amulet with +30 magicka bonus, later on you get a circlet with +70 magicka if I remember correctly and finally you get the archmage robes for another +50 Magicka, -15% spell cost and 100% Faster Magicka regeneration. All in all the questline grants you gear of about +150 Magicka, -15% spell cost and 100% increased magicka rate, that alone is a bigger boon then any race gets and it's probably the easiest quest line out there.

I have despised elves (well, except the Dunmer) for many, many years. The Thalmor just give me more ammunition.

I'm neutral to mer no matter what race, but Thalmor are kill on sight.

Remember, there are six mer races in skyrim - altmer, bosmer, dunmer, falmer, orsimer and manmer.
