Anyone Ever See A Falmer Out In The World? : V - Skyrim

» Wed Jun 13, 2012 12:25 pm

Never saw a Falmer out-of-doors, but their idea of destroying the surface world will be a long time in the making if all they do is wait for spelunkers to come to them. Oh, and apparently there's a couple of guard phrases that could be what was mentioned above:

Whiterun guard: "You know I saw something near http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Shimmermist_Cave to the northeast. Some sort of creature. Small and wicked, never seen its like before."

Windhelm guard: "Tell me you've seen them. Those... things. Small and evil, like something out of a nightmare. They come from http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Stillborn_Cave, to the north. I know it."

Of course, they could be referring to chauruses.

Oddly enough, I visited Stillborn last night and some of the little buggers caught me by surprise ... which didn't end well for me.

My current character is a Nord and I from that (taller) perspective, I could see where they might be characterized as "small", particularly as they always seem to be hunched over when walking.

There seems to be a nest of them fairly close to every city in Skyrim ... except for, oddly enough given the Chaureses wandering around, Morthal ... or at least, I haven't found any yet in the nearby vicinity. And if you're living in Markarth ...

While I personally can't stand the little creeps, I am curious about them, e.g., do they have any sort of social structure, a ruler, etc.

Based on at least one of them being able to control a Dwarven automaton and their ability to domesticate #%$#%%& chaureses, spiders,skeevers, I'm guessing they aren't as stupid as their primitive living conditions might otherwise suggest.

They definitely get out and about at times ... just haven't seen any outside myself. Doesn't seem like anyone else has either.

I suspect there is much more to them than meets the eye.
Still waters, I suspect, run very deep indeed...

I swear I've seen a few in the main overworld, like outside the entrance to a cave or dwemer ruin.

I have seen them outside, but it was part of my fast travel glitch. A few times I've fast-travelled somewhere and had something unlikely turn up with me. Once it was Nihume--the spider-- and three falmer--who turned up in Shor's Stone.... Sunlight didn't seem to bother them, but then the guards took care of them pretty promptly.

Yes, actually although i am pretty sure it was a glitch. It was around where you would find the chaurus near morthal and their were 2 dead falmer glitched into the ground :confused:

(would of got screenshot but on console :down:

Actually Falmer do come up from underground! But you don't see them, I remember a quest where Caravans went mising from the road and people killed or taken. You can guess who took them.

I sense an investigation into this

They maybe did not like it. So they back in. Maybe the light is too bright.

Are people that are blind affect by the light?

I have only seen chaurus outside, but not Falmer.

Depends on the extent of the blindness. I could see the Dwemer making sure that the Falmer were extremely light sensitive to keep them from trying to escape to the surface.
