Altmer with black hair

Post » Wed Jul 24, 2013 12:55 pm

Are there any altmer in game with black hair? Previous tes games?

Just seeing if it fits lore wise.

Cant think of any off the top of my head. Why not break traditional lore and make one, kind of a rogue?

Not that I know.

But lore wise? I don't see why a black haired Altmer is lore breaking.

Nords are known to be fair haired, yet my Nord her hair is as black as the night.

I cannot recall seeing any Altmer with dark hair in any of the TES games. However, I don't see why this should stop you. Perhaps your Altmer is the first of it's kind to have dark hair because reasons! Either way,http://api.ning.com/files/AMgcP5snh*Cb6Wj7RH37fCFIUZigSWI*wscPWcW56*qL8w3NE6qfr9Y1PUkYU7EekoCEX7VsXMlGf6cB3PgP26XaS-VzuV5U/AltmerEbonyMail2.png.

Well he/she is Dragonborn so it would make sense that his/her features are different than the norm...

I agree http://i.minus.com/ibnotit69ag4W6.jpg. Black haired Altmer http://i.minus.com/iCCEBKJIiDkwl.jpg! :) (Ok, I admit there might be a few mods involved there, but still. I like elves with black hair. The option is there, why not use it?)

I like both my Altmer and Bosmer to have black hair as a rule.

I like them to look like Native Americans.

I am pretty sure I have ran into an Altmer that had black hair. I don't think it would be lore breaking.

The only reason why your Altmer would be black haired is that he isn't a superiorly bred mer.

They're making a mockery of Skyrim. Naming characters names like "crotch guzzler" and running around? I hate those guys.

To be fair, it looks like he simply used preset 1 without changing anything aside from hair color.

Hell of a great preset, then.

Traditionally, I've never heard of elves having facial hair, either. Yet, that is seen.

It's called having fun, lighten up.

OT- None come to mind OP but that doesn't mean you shouldn't make one.

We Altmer through superior breeding, always have golden blonde hair. The ones with black hair, we get rid of.......

Well, at least they had the courtesy to make a backstory for him, and even a family tree. :D

I swear altmer also have reddish hair too?

All altmer I have seen either have grey if their old, Blonde in various shades and red/ginger.

If its black then its most likely there is mixed blood somewhere.

Really? Is that what it's called?

I have plenty of fun actually playing the game the way it was meant to be played.

They're making a mockery of the game.
