Seriously guys they need to change Dark Elves name to Demons lol. They look epic, and scary. Bethesda really really stepped there game up! So do you guys think the Dark Elves look like Demons? Oh and also are you guys going to play in third person more now?

They look like Dunmer, which in turn resemble Hell spawn.

I like it. The one with the white face paint looks like he would eat your first born

They definitely have demon-ish look - but that's how they were supposed to look.

Agreed. :tes:

Edit: The Dunmer were cursed because of the treachery of the Chimer (what the Dunmer once were) Tribunal demi-gods, Sotha Sil, Almalexia and Vivec.

Heads up, a lot of people are about to flame you for blasphemy against the lore :flamethrower:

If any creatures could be called the "Demon race" of TES, it would have to be the Dremora. But they got sealed out of Nirn 200 years ago, so...

Ahh, I can tell you didn't play Morrowind then? Here's the brief breakdown. Way back before the start of the First Era, the Dunmer, then called Chimer, were at odds with the Dwemer (the Dwarves) about their research into using the power of a god's heart (The Heart of Lorkhan) to make their race immortal. It eventually errupted into a war, in the midst of which the power of that same heart somehow made the whole Dwemer race disappear. Thus the Chimer's leader Nerevar, aided by the Daedric Lord Azura, was victorious, but legends say he got severely wounded in the battle. Among his last orders to his advisors was that the heart never be used again for profane purposes. They swore an oath, but they broke it - they used the fruit of the Dwemer's reasearch to turn themselves into the Tribunal, a trio of immortal demigods to be worshipped by their people as actual god-rulers. Infuriated by the broken oath and their acts, Nerevar's patron diety, Azura, punished the Tribunal and their people by turning their skin dark and their eyes red, to forever remind them of their unforgivable transgression. Thus the Chimer became the Dunmer ("The Dark Ones"). She also foretold that Nerevar's reincarnation would return to right the wrongs, and that reincarnation is the main protagonist of Morrowind.

Understand that, according to the lore, demon is a mistranslation of daemon which is a (mis)translation of daedra. It is the daedra who are demons, one way or another.

A few "Chimer" killed Azura's toyboy so she decided to make the whole race suffer for it by giving them red eyes and grey skin, thus they became the "Dunmer".

Nice short summary.

Well, actually that's just one of the versions. It was quite intruiging in Morrowind how noone, not even Vivec - one of the Tribunal, could give you an exact account of what really happened in the battle of Red Mountain. There were 4 versions to choose from, most of them biased. That's also why noone knows for sure what caused the Dwemer to disappear.
