The Dunmer's Rage : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Mon Nov 28, 2011 5:19 pm

So after the Oblivion crisis the Red Mountain erupts and Morrowind is conquerd by Argonians. So we already know that there is some sort of race war between Nords and Bosmers. What about Dunmers and Argonians, shouldn't they hate each other more than ever ? I wonder if there is going to be some sort of race war between them too.

Discuss !

Edit: Skip the ''Race war'' thing, that was a wrong word for me to use. Lets say hate between the races.

Thanks for the spoilers!

Wha-what? Race war between Nords and Bosmer?

Spoilers? Hows that? its been common knowledge for quite some time now about morrowind.

The amount of time that has past has a definite impact. All of that didn;t happen the day before Skyrim begins

Its a way of saying he should put spoiler tags in, not everyone has read the book.

I doubt that, lizard...However, you'll make a fine pair of boots once I cut you down.

I havn't the read the books either, but you'd have to be very, very lucky (or just plain oblivious (no pun intended)) to avoid seeing people talking about what happened in them in here.

In a similar manner not everyone knows everything there is to know about the lore, which could contain similar "spoilers". IMO you aren't really
spoiling anything if it has already happened, you are just clarifying and stating facts.

EDIT:
And yeah - I didn't know there was a race war between the Bosmer and the Nords either? They seem to get along nicely if you ask me.

Such a big thing won't go away easy.

200 years ago, the United States and Great Britain were not very friendly

Today they are buddy-buddy

Alsace-Lorraine is another region in which changing times have softened racial (yes racial) hatreds

Look at the Ukraine in WWII. many Ukrainians actually hailed the Germans as liberators. At first. then it was hoo-boy, look out. And the Soviets took a horrible toll on Germany proper at the end of the war

70 years later, how many Germans howl for the blood of the Russian people?

Big things can go away in 50 years

Morrowind was built on the backs of many an argonian slave, the reason the dunmer hold argonian slaves is that argonians have a distinct ability to survive harsh conditions. Morrrowind is practically the rightful property of the argonians.

5 posts before this became another fantasy racism mudflinging war. New record? Probably not. Either way, I'm out.

Ah, getting upset over pretend insults about a pretend race of lizard-men...Brilliant, sir...Brilliant.

This is just misinformation. Slavery is apart of Dunmer society, but it wasn't built on it. This will just turn into another pissing contest between Dunmer and Argonian fans though.

That's like saying the ''Roman Empire'' belonged to the slaves :confused:

Haha!
:rofl: -> :laugh: -> :happy:

The Argonians and the Dunmeri should just look eachother deep in the eyes, say "I'm sorry, bro" and just hug it the fudge out.
:hugs:

I'm at the brink of changing my first-playthrough character to an Argonian just so I can marry a Dunmer or vice versa - just to prove that love
is the strongest force of nature, even in Tamriel. That'll show 'em! :celebration:

Love IS the strongest force on Nirn, just ask Vivec.

I can't find anything that says Morrowind is returned to the Dunmer, so maybe their rage continue ?

That Elder Scroll, we can guess, is yet to be written

» Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:35 pm

I am sure I will hate argonians,nords and imperials. Maybe orcs,too.
I will rob them, and even kill them if they really deserve it.

» Mon Nov 28, 2011 8:45 pm

Seeing as though my Argonian was once a imperial he doesn't care very much for the whole hate thing apart from it stopping. My Dummer thief on the other hand hates them because of what they did and tends to not stand close or trust one for a second, unless he was planning on stealing there keys, robbing there house and leaving chees about the place (He thinks they hate cheese, cause he loves it so much).

That logic has more holes than Swiss cheese after execution by shooting where bullets were replaced with mice.

Love IS the strongest force on Nirn, just ask Vivec.

But Dr. House says that air > love.

Some people just don't know how to have fun.

Er -- I agree with you this time, dunmer, but don't think this changes anything.
