Yeah, because blocking an arrow is real easy to do when you don't see it coming.

Not if you don't see them coming from afar or from behind.
Or first in the knee, the second one in the neck.

I will see it coming. You all smell like BBQ.

Highly unlikely. This is why Nords aren't very bright. Brawn and posturing over ingenuity and tactics. Lemmings to the damn cliff.

And Nords are just as pale.
And smell isn't the same as sight genius.

It's hard for him to accept it might be possible a Bosmer can slay a Nord. lol

Army vs army, bosmer aren't gonna sneak attack the whole group. Once that first volley is lauched, all they can do is run. And humans have arrows too.

You can't. Asuming you do sneak attack me, that's what the heavy armor is for.

Melee can be just as elegant. The things Redguards can do with a sword, I read somewhere is ridiculous. Slicing men up without making contact with their weapon. Gotta find where I read that.

Isn't that called Shehai or something? I remember reading something about that and the sword-singers.

Not a clue, but it sounded badass.

...Lets also note you combined sight and smell in the earlier juvenile remark...
And under the cover of night, volley of arrows into a camp send the whole place scrambling, let the chaos lead them to their doom when the next volley from another direction comes.

Lol, okay bro

Please, Nords are as cool as a cucumber. We don't panic. Underestimate the Nords at your own peril. Last people who did that were the snow elves, and they got a taste of Nordic genocide.

The Bosmer can be so skilled with a bow that they can shoot through the weak points in your fancy armor.

Dude, do you even lift? XD

Lol, jk. You assume one arrows gonna stop a nord. You better make it count.

The Snow Elves actually almost won xD
They were discouraged when their leader was slain by a 12 year old.

One arrow can stop anyone realistically. Besides, if you can't see me, what are you gonna do?

They almost won...one battle. This event took place when the Nords were already winning.

How did the snow elves fight?

You know...back in the day, I did respect Nords, but then Skyrim came along and painted them as egotistical and bullheaded, and almost less honorable than Orcs somehow...

If I want to play a Human, I'll play a Breton or a Cyrodil. You can keep your knuckle draggers who's response to anything is to hit it with a rock, and if that fails, get a bigger rock.

Take the arrow, see where you are, and kill you. Bosmer are excellent archers, but they're not perfect archers. You act as if Bosmer can hit any target all the time. They're not a race of Robin hoods. Arrows are not enough to win whole battles, otherwise they woldn't be enslaved by Thalmor right now.

» Tue Jan 01, 2013 5:56 am

Magic, swords and bows. Like the Thalmor, but more advanced.

Nords were always put in that light. It was even worse in Oblivion. Skyrim hows them as the badasses they are.

Most Bosmer are very very skilled Archers actually. They might not be able to hit right where they want every time, but you better bet your ass they will most of the time.

It wouldn't actually be so simple to find someone who's hiding and shooting you with a bow. Besides, even if you did find a Bosmer, that doesn't guarantee you a victory.

You mean as a race of people who's only purpose is to be xenophobic bruisers modeled after Vikings who's only real accomplishment is death and destruction.

No culture, unless it involves killing someone.

Yeah, they're not particularly unique in comparison to most of the other races.

They're very skilled, but not perfect, and not every one. Just like how Altmer are very skilled mages, but aren't perect or even always the best mages. As for the second part, if a bosmer misses or fails to kill a nord in heavy armor with a shield the first time, they're done. All they can do is run and hide again.
