I'd say it would take generations of adapting to the surface world before they would be able to adapt again. They've spent thousands of years secluded in the caves. It certainly would take just as long if not longer for them to adapt again, and they wouldn't be welcomed additions either.

After doing the Lighthouse near Dawnstar, I hate falmer. I'll kill every one I find.

Are you cereal?

i am super cereal

The thing with echolocation is that, it doesn't work well in the open and noisy places, like in a huge battle. In a chaotic battle where blood is spilled everywhere and you will find it nearly impossible to differentiate friend or foe by smell alone.

Basically falmars are powerful in their own homes underground, but will fare badly as an invasion force.

On the other hand, they do have massive chambers full of thousands of chourus (sp?) eggs. I have done tests whereby 30 basic imperial soldiers are torn apart by 5 reapers without any dying.


So in short, their battle strength is extreme high on the defensive and unbeatable by any single faction without the help of the Dovahkiin while their offensive range is extremely short and limited to waylaying travelers that wanders near.

I can see an espansion about them looking for revenge. They start out by attacking small villages at night. Man that would be so cool. Even though i hate them, they are mean creatures with their bug pets.

Nords will die first, dont worry. At last, the dark elves of windhelm will be happy.......for a short time.

Falmer are weak and pathetic. They were almost completely killed off once. They would have absolutely no chance in a "war". My character could carry out Ysgramor's unfinished business single handedly if he knew where they all were....and if they didnt respawn after a certain time...

The higher level falmer can easily beat a mammoth or a giant if you played to a very high level. Like what many people said earlier on, they are huge in numbers, since its being thousands of years after they became falmers. And since not many people wander into the falmer territory(or get killed), there are no potent predators of the falmer, so they will reproduce quickly.
The falmer armors and weapons are higher end and can easily match an orcish or even ebony. And since falmers according to the lore are good at range, they can easily beat any imperials. the chaurus is a bigass tank and can tear through a few humans. And i believe there are more falmers and chauruses in blackreach alone than there are humans(non fighting and fighting) in skyrim.

plus, have you seen the falmers' slaves? They are nords

They wouldn't take out Tamriel as a whole. I'm sure they'd spend ages to plan an attack on a town. The people will be ready for it.
Even if they destroy one town, the Imperials/Stormcloaks/Altmeri would get themselves ready with huge advantages.
