Upset that the Thalmor are so Easy to Hate : V

Playing as a High Elf and seeing how snobby your kinsmen are in Skyrim is frustrating. They should add another, more likable, faction of High Elves. Opinions?

Why? No other race get's it's own faction.

I think they did an okay job with the Imperial and Stormcloak dilemma being grey, but they made the Thalmor downright evil, which(while I don't care for them regardless), is a bit lame.

Good point. It just svcks wandering around as a High Elf and hating all other High Elves. Maybe another faction is a bad idea. All I want are some cool and respectable High Elves

Stormcloaks for the nords?

Stormcloaks.

Thalmor are AWESOME!!! They're not all bad. You just got to know how to talk to them in a professional manner.

I will fully support the Thalmor with my Khajiit assassin (assuming they have no plans to destroy the world) and mer shall reign supreme while I get to enjoy Thalmor luxury.

Any race can join the Stormcloaks, Imperials. You can even see Dark Elves going to join the Stormcloaks, Imperials on the roads.

This just gives me more reason to destroy you and your Vampiric Thalmor Lovin kind :stare:

I play as a Nord and I don't particularly like the Stormcloaks. And I downright hate Ulfric. There are plenty of other cool Nords out there, though.

Actually, you never see a race other then Nord that is an official Stormcloak. The one Imperial on the road is an anomaly, and neither Imperials or any other race are actually represented within the Stormcloak's ranks. They are pretty much Nord only.

Still a mute point as the player character can be any race and join the Stormcloaks, and once again Dark Elves on the roads.

Yet there are only nord Stormcloaks in the game.

There is Dark Elf farmer going to join the Imperials, but I have never seen any going to join the Stormcloaks. And the only reasons non-Nord players can join them is because they are the Dragonborn, and because people would complain if they couldn't.

It actually makes sense. Unless you are Thalmor and are working over seas, the only reason to be outside Summerset is because you are an outcast from your people. Different and none conformist. Summerset-Dwelling Altmer have always scorned ther kin who leave or are born elsewere. Nor were they welcome to return, seen as just as much a foriegner as an Argonian.

And that was in the time of Oblivion. I imagine its many times worse now. Look up 'The Night of Green Fire'.

I personally find it an interesting hook to playing a High Elf.

Edit: And on the note of none-Nord Stormcloaks, the Altmer Stormcloak officer in one of the camps would like a word with you all.

Really? I'd rather join them. Why can't I join my thalmor brothers and sisters? Why do they want me dead? It's no fair... I wanna say "Glorty to the Aldmeri Dominion!", but they're all like "no u" and try to kill me. Well shoot.

Alright. Then there may be one non-nord Stormcloak in-game, which sadly means the nords don't get their own faction.

Could just mod the game

You can join the Stormcloaks without having done any main quest except Unbound. And then you have to start Dragon Rising to continue the questline. But you can join them without discovering you're Dragonborn. And the Dark Elves on the roads say this.

"I'm on my way to Windhelm to join up with Ulfric, he has the right of it"

You know, there are plenty of likeable Altmer in Skyrim. They're just not in the Thalmor. For example, try talking to Legate Fasendil.

No. The Thalmor faction involves both Bosmer and Altmer peoples. It's simply that Altmer are more powerful in the factions ranks and besides, there are non-Thalmor high elves, even ones in Windhelm who are generally not discriminated against. Also, there are a big group of people that many people dislike: the Stormcloaks, aka Nords. There's also another group that many people hate as well: Imperials.

Where?

I know of an altmer imperial legion officer, but no stormcloak one.

There is also an Altmer Stormcloak as was stated above.

Not everyone is on PC.
