I'm starting to love High Elves : V

They're just so cool. Their confidence, their power, their.. Height.

They're just awesome. I'm even considering playing Altmer over Argonian these days. Plus the Thalmor have kickass outfits.

The Altmer themselves I don't mind.

Altmer are great. Look at Faelian, he's a real amiable chap.

They're just so cool. I wish I had acknowledged this before, I would have been playing Altmer long before I got Skyrim. Plus I love magic, and Altmer are pretty much the best at it. Though Argonians are still awesome to me, so its hard for me to decide between them.

I might just flip a coin...

I played my first Altmer in Skyrim and I love them too.

I had a lot of fun playing an Altmer in Skyrim as well. Though it is weird how I suddenly get about six inches shorter whenever I go from third-person to first-person view...

I generally dislike elves in fiction.

this goes doubly for Dunmer and Altmer, as one is completely and utterly hypocritical and the other is absolutely condescending (the same as most elves in fiction, unfortunately).

Best race IMO 50+ to magic F**k yeah
And in the thalmor embassy infiltration mission, while wearing hooded thalmor robes you can tell gaurds to leave positions WOOT

Now can you tell them to take a long walk off a short pier or even tell them to make like a tree and leave?

i love my only character, a High Elf, she's awesome. the magicka bonus and regeneration power (Highborn) have both saved my life numerous times

Altmer are broken in this game. Walk up to a person, and swtich from 3rd to 1st person and watch their heads go up and down.

Good job ruining Altmers Bethesda! You dropped the ball!

I love them them as a race, the Aldmeri on the other hand...

I WANT TO JOIN THE THALMOR But not ban talos

I understand what you mean. But this-.. this is why they don't want you.

» Wed Jun 13, 2012 10:52 pm

I don't mind them, but I downright HATE the Aldmeri Dominion and particularly the Thalmor. There's nothing wrong with self confidence, but using it as an excuse to look down on others is where I start to have problems. Not to metion the little part where they want to enslave over the Human races and forced a ban on Talos worship.

The Altmer and Argonians are my favourite. Too bad I cannot have an Argonian (with it's breathing ability) and the magic skills of the Altmer haha.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:47 am

Thalmor have put me off Altmer for a while

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 3:19 am

Ancano for next emperor of Tamriel. LOL. & Ondolmer for High King of Skyrim.

» Wed Jun 13, 2012 10:41 pm

Altmer power!

» Wed Jun 13, 2012 11:20 pm

Would have loved to see a Thalmor faction in the war to control Skyrim though, that would have made things intresting.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 11:56 am

It would be cool if they added a special faction of renegade Altmers to fight the Dominion in the DLC. A secret organization that hopefully doesn't get sent to the next emperor with all their heads chopped off

I also played my first Altmer, because the Breton female presets all look 50 years old. They're tall, which is nice. I like the tall willowy thing. Nelacar is a nice enough guy. It's too bad you can't marry him.

Sher Khan hates the Thalmor... silly elves. :devil:

On topic: I've not tried an Altmer in Skyrim yet. I figure if I want to ever run a God of Magic character, then I'll fire one up. Until then, I'll stick with my beloved Dunmer and Khajiit.

You're completely right.
Game ruined.

OT: I love my altmer arch-mage. He's old, has a look of sorrow about him and has made it his life's mission to change the nords ideas about magic.
