Thalmor roleplay

I don't believe that for a momment.
The Greybeards actually tell you they want you to consider whether you should stop Alduin, and the Thalmors ultimate goal is to destroy Tamriel and attain a higher plane of exsistence.

I get what you're saying, but the purpose of the MQ is to save Skyrim from the imminent dragon threat.
Would a true Thalmor to that?
I think a Thalmor would possibly stop the dragons and enjoy the elite status of being a "dragonborn", but a Thalmor would never accept the help of the Blades, and therefore never learn the necessary information about the dragons from the Blades (except perhaps by interrogating them).

How would I be a psjiic? They don't have as attractive robes and I play console. And there was no female ones.

I think there is a perk that allows you to pickpocket equiped items. And the robes are the only non available faction uniform that show up in your inventory.

Greybeards are pacifist at best, and Thalmors idealogy can be seen as making the world a better place for mer.

No, it can't, because they actually want to destroy it to go to a higher plane.

Hmm... If you gave a companion Elven armor, you could imagine they're your Thalmor soldier. There's also a Khajiit follower in the college. Khajiit sometimes work for the Thalmor, and so he'd be a good follower.

That's actually not true. All of this talk about Thalmor destroying the world is not based on any in-game lore book or official lore. It's based on an Unofficial story posted on a forum. The guy who wrote it used to work for Bethesda back during Morrowind. But the story is unofficial... and he doesn't work for Bethesda anymore. But people on the internet keep thinking it's real lore and saying that the Thalmor want to destroy the world.
Well, Ondolemar said that the Thalmor want to prove Elven superiority one century at a time. It doesn't sound like he wants the world to end any time soon.

What rank of Thalmor did you have in mind? If you're the typically run-of-the-mill Thalmor who doesn't really know what's going on, then you don't need to do much besides kill Talos worshipers. If you do so, pay your fines with a smile and continue on.

If you're a high ranking Thalmor, then acknowledge that your ultimate goal is to unmake Mundus so you can return to being a god. The first step of this is removing Talos worship, because if no one worships Talos, it will unmake him as a god, which is by association a huge hit to Lorkhan, and will be a major step in unmaking humans, whom everyone will then forget so that they never happen again. So in addition to killing Talos worshipers, you'll also want to kill any human race whenever the opportunity presents itself, though this is something you'll typically want to do in private. Certain elves that are friends with humans can go too, while you're at it. You'll also want to be a powerful wizard in all schools of magicka.

I find being Dragonborn and Thalmor to be completely opposite things. The Thalmor are planning to unmake Mundus by removing Talos worship. By being Dragonborn, you are essentially something like Talos who was also Dragonborn and thus a symbol of what the Thalmor hate. They may thank you for helping them but soon they will turn on you since you are a threat to their plans.

His lore is considered canon, I don't know why people argue against it.

They want to destroy the world to return to their godlike being.

There should be an option in game to become a Thalmor anyways.

It's annoying that the option isn't open for high elves.

Then why does it say it's unofficial right on the website he posts his stories on?
His lore he wrote when he worked for Bethesda is canon... the stuff he writes now is unofficial, and it even says so.

J'zargo's perfect. He thinks he's better than everyone else. He's definitely got a Thalmor attitude... and he's a mage.

I took that as meaning he wasn't commisioned to write it, but Bethesda does take it into account instead of writing their own lore.

Bethesda might look at it and use it, or they might not. But in the end it's still unofficial right now, unless Bethesda makes it official at some point.

Yes, it is true that Bethesda may go the route of having the Thalmor just wanting plain old world domination. (Or Tamriel domination I should say). However, we do have to take in to account that there is a strong probability that they will use MK's lore.

The White-Gold Concordat that the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion signed was his idea, for instance. And the main reason for the Concordat was to wipe out Talos worship, which just so coincidentally happens to be the first step in MK's lore regarding the Thalmor wanting to unmake the Mundus.
