The Big Fat Altmer Poll!

Post » Wed Mar 30, 2011 4:13 am

Of course, Altmer are very high and mighty, and an Altmer mage is one to be feared...

...until he gets an arrow in the heart from my Dunmer Assassin from 200 feet away.

jus' sayin :)

Dunmer :flamethrower: Altmer :D

On a serious note, I have to admit I have never played as an Altmer yet, really should give them a try.

screw altmer...

i prefer the dunmer, and nords are tall AND strong, while the altmer might break their overly-spoiled limbs if they even tried wielding a weapon fit for an actual man.

also, the altmer race is tainted by having one of their strongest members being the king of worms... a soulless necromancer... and my dunmer killed him in 2-3 hits.

take that, ya golden skinned fairies.

I hardly notice the Altmer at all. They can keep their head as high as they like - which saves me from having to look at it and just move on by ;)

They aren't as good as the Ayleids. Nuff said!

As for the playable races, I'm tied between Altmer and Argonian as my favorite race.

i wanna see a humanoid ghost of a ayleid soon in tes series, so we know what they look like :confused:

Oh don't remind me, I visited that retched tree they call home 30 years ago, and I stumbled upon some books there ;yes they have books I was shocked as well; that mentioned that Bosmer will not only eat the flesh of enemies, they will, in fact, eat each other in case they should come under a long siege, they won't touch anything that comes out of a planet, be it fruit or vegetable and would rather eat a corpse than pick a perfectly good apple that is going to fall and rot on the ground anyways!!!


Really, brother? You do not jest? You have been to Valenwood? How did you manage to stand being in that filth-infested forest? Didn't the stench from those musky, Vitamin C and Iron-deficient Wood Elves not knock you for six? How did you manage to refrain from slapping every Bosmer you encountered with the back of your hand, so repulsed must you have been by their overall wretchedness? Surely, brother, you are a rare Elf indeed to have endured such a horrifing ordeal.

Return to Summerset soon, brother. There's no telling what continued exposure to those contemptible little cretins might do.

High Elves are known to be aloof and snobby, but wouldn't you be if you had an inner conviction that you were utterly awesome?


:rofl:

Good thing the game isn't out yet.
If I would have seen this poll while playing I would have slaughtered every High Elf I saw in game for at least half an hour.
Besides they have their specialization just like other races have theirs, I don't feel that they're better in anyway really.

The altmer just follow whatever the dunmer do. Dunmer worship Daedra -> Centuries later Altmer start worshippin Daedra. Dunmer make peace with Dwemer, then wage war against them -> Altmer make peace with Empire, then secede and mostly likely wage war on it. Dunmer get cursed and turned ashen. Altmer will be cursed and it wont change a thing because really they can't get uglier... Dunmer Island homeland gets blown to pieces. Can't wait to see what'll happen to Summerset.... I hope it takes out Valenwood too, and then the Khajits can invade them !!! :D

Nah its all good. I just dont like the Altmer, I dont like the elongated faces. The bland skin coloring in Oblivion didnt help.... but then none of the elven races were much to look at in Oblivion....

I do not know which cowardly, intellectually-stunted race you belong to, but surely with this utterance you are attempting to exhibit some strange and primitive form of "wit"? Not better in any way? *haughty, sneering laugh* Oh, my poor, deranged fool. You lesser races are even sillier than I thought!

I wholly refute the claim that High Elves are superior to the other races and I will attempt to slaughter them on sight.

I already have to kill all redguards and argonians on sight, I guess the annihlation of one more petty race wont be too much trouble

Hmmm, I suppose that Nords are perhaps amongst the less instantly-repulsive races, although they are still nothing more than muscle-bound, empty-headed ignoramuses, and just as worthy of our contempt.

Incidentally, why must you slaughter Redguards and Argonians?

Ha! No Altmer brother worth his salt would travel through the forest at night without a reliable Detect Life spell activated. You'd need to do better than that, Dunmer. :thumbsdown:

such hostility....

It clearly proves our superiority, everyone hates winners *super snobbish laugh of epic proportions*

My dear Vadagar.

Honour of the ancestors upon your path. May your way be well lit.

As a fellow Altmer I could not help note the ruthlessness in your personality and the singularity of your path.
While keeping in respect the full lineage of your ancestry and the purity of your blood I do feel it is my obligation to gently chide you and remind you of the other roads.

The lessons of your house have taught you the proper veneration and rituals, and you are strenghtened in the ways of the world. I feel, however, that your experience is a singular one and that you judge on experience instead of potential.
Mind your Father and his house, mind the corners.
You have met many adversaries obviously out for your blood, so the words you do not write tell me. And the words you do not write explain the most.
But these same hidden words to me speak of a one sided experience.

When you visited the walking tree of the Bosmeri, did you try to accustom or did you lock yourself from the strange qualia, not least the smell, that came upon you?

Oh, the ways of wisdom are such: Wisdom is a pearl, a cube, a bag of salt. It is all these things and one. When one approaches from the way chosen, one does not see the other facets. When the centre is reached, only then will all paths have lead to the same, and all the truths revealed as facets of the same immutable.

Head the words of the old.

Take from the other races what they deem wise. Do not seek strife or dominion.
As you were taught when you were young, wisdom comes in many guises. Take this wisdom from he who came before.
That wich is given freely comes at less cost than that wich is taken.

There are many ways to glory.
But they are all empty unless recognised.

May those that walked the path before you leave you a guiding star,
Merari.

alas my journey shall take me to Skyrim, there are rumors of dragons returning, and snow will be a nice change, but thank you for your concern and which me luck, I hear the Nords are particularly savage.

As a Redguard and Ansei, I feel it is my duty to teach every mage(Altmer and others alike) I encounter of the only "magic" that counts; Shehai Shen She Ru.
That is all.

Traveller Merari,

Again, you stun and amaze us all with your ability to look beyond our race's innate superiority, and speak of the lesser race's own, admittedly meagre, positive traits. How the sons of Summerset could do with more of your kind, as we seek to rekindle the glories of our ancient culture, and to spread our values and rituals throughout the whole of Tamriel. Praise be to you, Brother.
