Does anyone else just adore the Thalmor or am I the only one

Post » Mon Jun 18, 2012 8:05 am

I've seen arguments between stormcloaks and imperials, and they all seem to have one common goal and enemy: Thalmor, and killing them.

I always play Altmer or Bosmer characters in TES games, so when I read up on the Lore before playing Skyrim and saw all the stuff on the new Aldmeri Dominion, I just had to join.

Yes, I have an Altmer, clothed in elvin armor, with the sole purpose of DESTROYING ALL INFERIOR RACES AND RAINING DEATH ON THE EMPIRE AND SKYRIM!!!

Anyone else do the same?

I'm afraid I don't. With as much difficulty as Bethesda has telling stories and making me care, they did succeed in one area. I really don't like the Thalmor and I kill them every chance I get.

I can see why people would love them, but I hate them and I'm an elf-lover.

Basically this.

I hate them. Every time I see a Thalmor hauling a prisoner I give the prisoner a dagger and kill the Thalmor.

I like the Thalmor and would love it if there was a future DLC involving them. My characters are always Altmer, Bosmer, and Imperials.

The Thalmor are awesome, I really wish they were a joinable faction, but as far as I know there's only one quest you can do for them. I normally play Altmer in TES and I'm kind of disappointed Beth didn't put in more Thalmor content given they seem to have such a prominent role in the 4th era.

I wished there was a DLC that was based exclusively on killing as many Thalmor as possible.

100s by your own hand and maybe millions by Divine assistance

OP is just a Hipster. Too cool to be one of the established factions so he has to go for the bad guy. Too obvious, yet still cute in a way.

I don't agree with them, but they do have cool robes. That's... something, at least.

Considering most people react as if the Thalmor personally punched out their grandmother and ran over their dog when ever you so much as mention them, I think the haters have more issues than those who can appreciate an awesome faction for what it is and represents vis-a-vis a fictional game world and roleplaying... you know, just saying :dry:

Likewise. Only met 10, 9 were butchered, with utter disgust.

Truthfully the only reason that I like the Thalmor is because of their robes (They are stylish!) and they are badass mages. Besides that....they are dragon-fisting [censored] bags.
I murder them for their robes.

Well since I roleplay Redguard assassin, I like them. I mean I like killing them like they did with my people.
When I roleplay others, I still hate them but their robes are awsome.
Still kill them on sight though.

The Thalmor are even nuttier than the Dwemer. The Dwemer attempted (and succeeded) to uncreate themselves to merge with the brass god, which turned out to be a fate worse than death. I guess vast amounts of knowledge will cause things like that to happen, eh? And the Thalmor want to unbind Mundus from reality to achieve the state of divinity they had before being bound to Mundus with the humans..

That's a huge mouthful, so I hope you get the basis of it.

Oh, but you don't realize that it is actually far, far worse than that. The Thalmor essentially want to not only kill every human being, but erase them from existence. But wait there's more. The Thalmor actually have a plan to achieve that goal, which is where their interest in Skyrim stems.

No, I do realise that. I just think it's odd people have such a visceral emotional reaction to them, it's like watching the boards light up with a hundred very violent Al Sharpton's when ever you so much as bring them up. People will bend over backwards to justify the Stormcloaks being racists, (emotional hofflenosh about their 'rebel' image fighting 'the man'), but the instant you have an elf faction treating other people like [censored] grab the torches and pitchforks.

That might have something to do with the fact that every Thalmor agent you speak with in the game seems to ooze resentment for the very fact that you exist at all. The voice actors did a brilliant job with that, TBH.
