From Vvardenfell!

Here is a quick question... What if Cliff Racers were ONLY from Vvardenfell? (I can't remember any piece of evidence saying otherwise).

Than they are all dead.
Or maybe they came together and decided to settle on Solstheim.

I hate cliff racers they use to attack me about once every three mintues, I will not miss them.

.........................................[censored]

That is what I was thinking. If they were only on Vvardenfell (Which most Morrowind's creatures are) then they are prolly dead for sure.

Me personally I never had a problem with them


BUT it does say something about those small winged bird thingies that THEY drove the dragons out of Morrowind. Against deadly dragons, it wasnt a legendary hero or a dragonborn....no it was the cliff racers that drove the DRAGONS outta Morrowind. Let that sink in, small bird like things drove huge monstrous power winged beings outta Morrowind. Let it sink in.....

Yaknow what?

Now that I think about it, Cliffracers wouldn't be as bad this time around.

Why?

We have non-point-of-impact area effect damage now. Shouts. Ice Storm. Elemental cloaks. Firestorm. Blizzard. You could wipe out swaths of them at a time. No more missing when the projectile is bigger than them.

Dodge THIS, ya vile little terrors!

Well, they ARE annoying.
If I was a Dragon, I would have left Morrowind, too.

This and our bows no longer miss or hit on a dice roll.

Wasn't it said that he drove them out? Where do you think they went? XD

cryodiil ( never could spell it correctly lol) or black marsh....though they could be harassing whatever's left of mournhold and the rest of morrowind. Vvardenfel is just one big island in morrowind, for those that didn't know.

They're not dead, St. Jiub (bless his shirtless, one-eyed soul) just drove them from Vvardenfell to who knows where.

Wait... he drove them out right before Red Mountain erupted. Jiub probably saved the cliffracers from extinction. What a d*ck.

Actually, no. I got it. Jiub didn't actually drive the cliffracers away. The Nerevarine did. After the events of Morrowind, he walked all over Vvardenfell until all the cliffracers had swarmed behind him. Then he left for Akavir. The cliffracers followed him in a screeching ball of awfulness. That's why the Akaviri haven't been heard from lately and why the Neravarine was never heard from again after Morrowind. He sacrificed himself to unleash a horror upon Akavir the likes of which they couldn't have possibly been able to imagine. Then, of course, that mook Jiub swooped in and took the credit.

Perfect.

I once played a Conjuration/Alteration/Illusion specialist named St. Jiub in Morrowind. Tried to Command Creature all the Cliff Racers to Solstheim that time.

Funny. I watched the video about the Jiub quest from Dawnguard, and I don't remember the book stating that they're all gone.

Come TES VI, I'd love to see a Sheogorath's quest much like this series of tests one in Skyrim. One test should be him pulling out a cliff racer spree on the player character! "CLIFF RACERS! Go ahead, hack them to pieces!", and then, amidst all fighting, some snappy comments at the player. "Don't you just love how they squawk?", etc. :′D

Well i woudn't mind them adding them. More content .. More better.

Yea, I get irritated when i see eagle shadows overhead and think, "[censored], dragons are gonna kill the town smith." So I turn to get his attention real quick....and it's a damn eagle. SHOULD they add the flying vermin from hell into this game, I"ll rage quit so many times. I imagine though that without Morrowinds terrible graphics and combat setup (because of the time, not the games fault) that it would be much MUCH easier to kill them now.

Anyone who wants cliff racers back needs some serious counseling, I think. Those things drove me insane while I tried to explore Vvardenfell.

There were no Cliff Racers on Solstheim in Bloodmoon, so I don't think they would've fancied migration.

Well, between St. Jiub wiping part of them out and the Red Mountain explosion, would YOU hang out in Vvardernfell still or might you migrate somewhere with less of a k/d ratio?

Correct, cliffracers were driven from Vvardenfell, not existence.

Also, I never understood why people dislike them so.
Dragons are more annoying, they arent as easily dispatched.

The fun I had just casting a weak levitate at them and seeing them plummet, or killing five in one go with a lightning bolt.
They were only a problem for level 1 characters, really.

As for any Vvardenfell creature being on Solstheim, there is this old fan-story that I love:

"Captain's Log of the Imperial Trader Wanderer

Sun's Rest year ...

We were coasting into the lee of Vvardenfell when my lookout awoke us all to the danger or we would have died today. This is what happened:

Lookout calls: "Ahoy there Capn - movement six points off the starboard bow - 2 miles distant and closing!"

I rushed to the bow and watched intently for some minutes through my spyglass as a vast, dark tide spread towards us accross the strangely calm sea from the not so distant coastline.

Then my mate Raffy, a sharp-eyed Bosmer, called out: "It's a white guar! He's leading them!"

And the nine bless me if that wasn't exactly what it was - straight out of the Tales of the Nerevarine my dunmer mother used to tell me - Saints preserves us.

I looked again and saw that the tide was made from every sort of creature you had ever heard of inhabiting that war-torn Island. And then all the hair on my head stood up as if in a great wind. There was a huge flash of light and several seconds later a monstrous report.

"ALL HANDS ON DECK!" I bellowed. "MAN THE LINES AND SET FULL SAIL, BE READY TO RIG FOR A BIG STORM! TIE DOWN OR JETTISON ANYTHING LOOSE, CHECK THE CARGO IS SECURE AND MR RAFFY, FOLLOW THAT WHITE GUAR!""

I didn't say existence sir, just that after all the hell they've gone through on Mainland Morrowind, I for one would want to migrate somewhere else to live. So it's not too far a stretch for them to have moved to Solstheim. As to killing them, no it wasn't hard for a mage. For anyone who didn't go mage, they were a pain in the ass. Try hitting a flying bird swarm with a sword while they're floating above your head. You have to jump just to get close to hitting them. Being a mage seems to put you at an advantage in all the TES games though. I kill Dragons as easily as anyone does the undead playing my mage.

They weren't nearly as prolific though... In Morrowind you couldn't get from point A to point B without having to deal with at least 3 of the damn things. After a while it gets old. After 300 hours of gametime their screech drills you to the core of your bone with agony. Add to that they frequently carry disease, and, well, it's not that hard to understand why even the devs wanted them dead.

South down to Black Marsh is a far more likely scenario. The picture of Argonians being annoyed by the buzzards is hilarious.

Ya know, that's something I hadn't even considered. Disease played a BIG role in Morrowind, EVERY other freakin creature had a disease it was more than happy to share. I had mark on either the mudcrab merchant, or the temples at all times. And yea, after tons of gametime, seeing them is more annoying than listening to that [censored]in' fred kid. As to Black Marsh, I"ll never visit then. OH GOD....what if they're in TES:O??? I hate my life...
