What do you hate more , the Thalmor appearance or their pers : V

Hello Everybody !
I'm wondering , what do you hate more , how the Thalmor look like or their actions ?

Me , I really love their 'Civilized' way of life , their fine clothing and their order , there are agents and such , I really like that.

However , they want complete domination of Tamriel ( it seems ) , they are against Tiber Septim , they want to erase the Men races , these are the reasons to destroy them all ( for me at least

)

Their actions. I don't mind how they look at all, but what they say and do is just...slappable.

I was walking through Falkreath forest , they ambushed me , there were like 12 of them.
The nonsense they are saying , wow.

Remember, Thalmor are High Elves, and not all High Elves are Thalmor.

As to the Thalmor, Their attitude makes them ugly.

Appearance or behaviour... well between looking like they looted "Ming the Merciless"s walk-in wardrobe, and their combination of chauvinism and plutocratic airs... it's a bit of a toss-up really.

Their actions, obviously. Most of them are really darn attractive, anyway. If that is what you mean by appearance.

(which doesn't make them any lesser jerks, obviously

)

I know , I spoke of the appearance of the organization. ( and the personality of it )

Attitude, I really dislike their attitude. But the look is ok I guess, need a re-vamp on the way they walk in the Elven armor...

I opened this thread because I saw the Thalmor loading screen , where he was holding Daedric sword and wearing Thalmor robes.

I just saw it and thought:"Wow , that's amazing , I want to go to the Summerset Isles."

For most of the beginning of my current playthrough I was wearing the hooded Thalmor Robes as they do look cool, so I don't care about their appearance.

I do hate their personality, I think that Bethesda made them too easy to hate in my opinion.

yeah that IS a pretty cool picture of them.

I hate their ideals more than anything. They are basically just a more powerful version of well... look up the phrase, "Godwin's Law" there ya go. That isn't how I would describe them, though. They are more like dictators who actually have an end goal and aren't just ruling one country. They are trying to have a continent wide ban on worship of Talos, which is pretty much what seems like the start of more strict restrictions to me. They are basically an organized army whose ideals are basically that of most dictators.

I won't even use any Thalmor gear. Their gear and robes are tainted to me despite this being a video game.

I agree that Bethesda made the Thalmor too easy to hate. In Fallout: New Vegas ( which was NOT made by Beth), once you got to know Caesar's Legion and their goal then they were a little less "bad". They should of done that with the Thalmor, made it so the Thalmor were fighting for the "greater good" but in a very questionable way.

I hate them for both reasons equally; for appearance because they remind me why I always wear a helmet as an altmer. For personality because...they make Serana look like a low maintenance mute woman. :devil:

If you overlook the [censored], slavery, anti-technological doctrine, and sixism...and they want to take over the world. The reason you can't change your view about the Thalmor, is because you can't join them and get to know them and their goals.

Am I the only one who doesn't think the Altmer look bad? *crickets chirp*

Yup.

The only reasonably good-looking one is Elenwen imo, and that's only because of her overdone LBD

Why dissect and disseminate what we hate most about the Thalmor? Easier for me to say the whole package.

That said, I don't hate the High Elves who AREN'T card carrying members of the Dominion or the Thalmor. One character concept I've kicked around often was a Thalmor dissident who broke away after the Great War, but I just can't get over making the Nord's greatest hero be the same blood as what many perceive is their greatest enemy. I feel like High Elves have a little too much lore going for them right now, and that makes it hard to play one as a main character.

Actions.

I don't hate their appearance but they could stand with some better hair styles, their attitudes? over-confident, selfish, stuck-up pencil pushes, and they have genocidal tendency for every race other then high elves [the purging of the bosmer tribes for instance]. So not much too love unless your a high-elf supporter to them, but they do have one good quality.
They get roads built! I'm kidding. They may or may not have good benefits for their citizens,mages, etc. but until they at least show some justification for their reasoning of their domination agenda.
However Ondolemar seems to be the only sensible thalmor.

The Thalmor are difficult to take seriously. They're so "in-your-face" evil it's almost comical; all they're missing is the moustache twirling.

» Mon Jul 23, 2012 2:53 am

whenever I see / find Thalmor guys I take my dagger and backstab every single one of them. >:[

» Mon Jul 23, 2012 8:27 am

I love high elves, but the Thalmor are just a blight on Tamriel. Their personality, I do not care about, I've met Dunmer and Nords who are worse. It's the Thalmor's actions that make them a blight.

» Mon Jul 23, 2012 8:36 am

I like the Thalmor. I appreciate their attitude of superiority! And they look cool.

That said, if they defy me... THEY DIE! haha

agreed 100%.
they are comedy villains,however i find it easy to hate anyone with a torture chamber.
and i hate their supid haircuts.
and their smarmy stuck up attitudes.
and their emo clothing.
and the way they speak to me.
and their poncey embassy.
and their jumped up girley armour.

but i love the way they are unable to maintain their enegmatic,mystical haughty manner with a big hammer in the face! cheers
