those crazy bosmer...

Post » Tue Mar 15, 2011 1:04 am

well, im sure most of you people remember gaenor from tribunal... that beggar-bosmer who becomes a god-like warrior in just a day or two?

then in oblivion we met glarthir... that paranoid schizo who thinks all of skingrad is conspiring against him...

...and finally, the only HARMLESS crazy bosmer i've seen, thurindil, who lives in anvil.

im just curious if bethesda will keep up this trend of placing insane bosmer in the games, i'd personally LOVE to see another gaenor... i mean, not one of you can say that fight with him wasnt difficult or fun [unless you cheated]... hell, gaenor was probably one of the most difficult fights in the history of TES... i wish the bosses were that much fun!

i wonder what else they could give us in terms of insane bosmer... im sure they could think of something, but does anyone here have ideas for those mental ward escapees?

i'd kinda like to see a bosmer suffering from the same condition smeagol/gollum from lord of the rings was... some serious schizophrenia, talking to himself, even when in a conversation with you, and maybe even have a little quest to help him get something back that belonged to him [similar to fargoth and his ring in morrowind, but a real quest] only to go completely ape-[censored] on you when finishing the quest. :laugh:

I'd like to see another insane one sure, but I'd prefer the race as a whole be taken more seriously

You forgot to mention the annoying fan :/, though he is just more annoying than say insane but he could be crazy in his admiration for the arena champion. But yeah I agree whats Elder scrolls without these nutty Bosmer?

You know, I'm surprised we haven't seen an asylum yet. I'd like to see an asylum of some kind, should make for fun stuff.

My favourite race is the Bosmer. I really hope they don't make them out to be the joke they were in Oblivion.

exactly. While I really hate bosmers, I'd love to be able to take them seriously. I don't want any races to be generally a joke. As I said one insane bosmer is fine, but the rest of the race should have some actual cool people

gaenor was definitely no joke, if ya ask me...

i never had a problem taking bosmer seriously, sure they are the only race with insane people shown so far, but the other races have oddities among their ranks... in morrowind there were several naked nords, tricked by witches, indicating that nords were idiots with no hope of common sense.

im sure you can look at the other races and see some common things that you could make fun of.

its probably just that the bosmer are a bit more obvious with theirs, i suppose.

Or maybe that fact a lot of them looked like they had various flavored ice cones on their head, or that you met few important bosmers who werent in some way weird. OR that they all looked sorta swollen in their faces... just plain weird.

And while Gaenor certainly was a tough fight, he couldn't be taken seriously as a person

Would be funny if there was a crazy Bosmer with messed up make up on that would be in a hospital mumbling about blowing the place up, or locked up in the psychiatric wing.

Maybe some of Fargoth's descendants will be looking for their ancestor's Engraved Ring of Healing, lost over 200 years ago :P

I just want to be a shapeshifting, cannibalistic god of war living in a bone hut on a massive moving tree city. You know, like they actually are.

I think everyone seems to forget that there are crazy and weird people of ALL the Races.

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Therana
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Ra%27Gruzgob
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Big_Head

And all the people who live in the Shiverings Isles, especially Cutter... (although you can't really blame them)

edit: Oh, and don't forget the weirdo http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Crassius_Curio

Well if they don't mind having the game rated mature maybe we could see some of that in action.

All your Bosmer are belong to Sheogorath!

We need those wimpy whining and crazy Bosmer males. Nords need someone to ridicule. Shor decided it to be so long ago.

Also, standing several feet taller than your Bosmer male gives even more meaning to "Seen any elves? Hahahaha..."

No wonder they go crazy :P
