Winged Twilight vs. Cliff Racer

UltimaJoe777

Who would win in a fight?

P.S. Sorry Antonio but everyone knows Clannfear vs. Cliff Racer is a one-sided fight lol

P.S.S. When do we get to see Cliff Racers in TESO?!

Cliff Racer, and with all haste!

Because they "fly so hiiiiiiigh!"

dsalter

Neither, they would elope instead!

cliffracers ARE in game, wander around deshaan or stonefalls and you'll see these "big birds", those are cliffracers... yeah i'm disappointed they changed them so drastically to, especially the scribs into knock off face huggers

Bal Foyen has a lot of them, but they do not attack nor interact in other ways.

Even the Dragons don't mess with Cliff Racers if they can help it.

Lysette

In Morrowind the motto to follow was, do not run from cliff racers, you will just attract even more and then you have a swarm of them following you.

Obligatory.

Lysette

Skyrim was similar - do not run from dragons, they will attract every wildlife nearby while flying around and you will end up having to fight the whole group.

Those "big birds" aren't Cliff Racers. There are actual Cliff Racers located in certain areas of Stonefalls, such as near the Lady Stone/Steamfont Cavern, Tormented Spire, Ash Mountain, etc.

Hm, true the ones in Bal Foyen have wider wings, not that narrow ones as the cliff racer in that picture. Cliff racer look a bit like the Pterosaurs of the late Cretaceous.

I thought you were referring to the ones that look more vulture-like. The one I pictured look more like the variety from Morrowind.

oh not at all, they look little like a cliffracer, maybe a cross breed? they do retain the head look and leathery skin, harpy spawns?

Lysette

Vulture like is a good description for those in Bal Foyen - they swing their wings as well a lot more often than a cliff racer would - long wings which are narrow provide a whole lot of lift and are better for gliding. They would not swing their wings that often.

Just to be sure, you referring to the one on the right, correct? Because I would say the one on the left look very much the same as those from Morrowind.

Not sure who to vote for since you didn't specify which was Hasselhoff and which was Travolta.

Lysette

now compare this to the body plan of a Pterosaur in the late Cretaceous - much like a cliff racer

What cannot be seen in this picture is that Pterosaurs in the late Cretaceous had no flight skin between their hind limbs, just like in ESO - the Pterosaurs of the early Cretaceous had those and that made them evolve to more and more smaller species, while without that they evolved later to more and more bigger species.

Edit: hm, this is a rather bad illustration actually, a lot of the features are wrong, like bones of the front limbs and there are not the required muscles in the illustration - but I guess you get the idea nevertheless. Among many others, I should have chosen a better one, this is actually very bad.

Well you see, you'd have to be willing to call one of them a woman...

Can you do that?

Also what I meant about Cliff Racers being in-game I meant interactively, as Lysette pointed out. Also I REALLY wish we could shoot birds

Hm, there would not be much skill involved in ESO, it was much more tricky to get the Hawks from the sky in Skyrim without the perks to get this zoomed and in slow motion - neverthess it was fun to try.

It's actually pretty easy with magic lol but yeah it did require precise aim with a Bow. The REAL trick though was killing them when they weren't flying over an area out of bounds... Stupid Solitude Hawks.

defo the one on the left, i knew about bal foyen not having any due to the climate being more mellow and damp, cliffracers are an ashland based beast

Well Hairspray...so yeah.

The ones that have more feathers I think are called Cliff Darters. They are different from the well known cliff racer!
