Just like this one. I wonder why so many people seem to have lost sight of that?3 -

I doubt it. The Thalmor are clearly set up as the enemy in Skyrim and we could never side with the enemy in Elder Scrolls games. In most other games too, in fact. Besides, in the long run Thalmor success means the end of Tamriel as we know it - as exciting as the possibility is, it would be a definitive end of this story. Do we really want this?AlexDougherty wrote: »I'm hoping ES 6 is all about liberating Tamriel from the tyranny of the Altmer Dominion and the Thalmor. How I hate them [snip]s.
It will probably be about choosing to aid or hinder their objectives. Via the destruction/saving of the towers of the empire (which help pin down the reality of the world). You will choose whether to help save or condemn the towers, thus helping or thwarting the Thalmor plot to redo time itself.
There's a video in one of the threads about it, the Thalmor apparently have a really weird plot to undo time and recreate themselves as the Aldmer.
You forget my friend that in the fantasy world, Endings only mean new beginnings, and new stories. There is never an end to something, until the individuals producing it decide to stop producing it.
Tamriel has been being eaten away and crumbling for the last several 1000 years, an eventual cataclysm is unavoidable. But, out of the ashes new heroes will arise, and new enemies, and new stories to be told about their exploits and heroics.
What makes a living breathing world, is one that can end, as a new one begins.

What is this madness you are speaking of?! Heresy of the highest caliber! Nobody knows what Lorkhan told Him, how he persuaded Him.
But Auri-El was convinced to help others know CHIM, as it was told to him. It failed, and he did not know it's cost - true - but he was a willing participant.
Perhaps one day Lord Vivec will find mercy for his distant cousins and share with them the knowledge of the past, present, And future. Knowledge of the 'I', and of the godhead, a gift of pity so that the Altmer children in their armor and manors won't simply be playing at superiority.
Alas, likely not, they are doomed to live within the shadow of their ancestors, a constant reminder of what could have been - and what never will be.
only chimer could elevate their prostitutes to the level of 'lord'. and dunmer follow their repulsive traditions.
Altmer know everything about the godhead - Anu - the first and only Amaranth. their destiny is to win.
madness obsessed dunmer will never unrderstand order, and that is why their worlds will shrink until the last head falls off the spine

Skyrim has some funny shrooms too. Some are fluorescent, some turn you blind, you never know what you're going to find.0 -

You know I tried those 'shrooms and it just wasn't the same.. I have never been transported to another world so completely and in such a way that I didn't want to leave as when I visited the ancient realm of Resdayn... aka Morrowind! Nothing compares.. It's truly out of this world!

I've played the last three, Morrowind to Skyrim, and, while Morrowind is my favorite I have to say Skyrim is the best TES beginner game for a newbie coming in from ESO. It's beautiful and wide open, much more so than ESO. The learning curve is gentle yet leaves much room for improvement. I played hundreds of hours with many characters but is wasn't until 2 years in that I finally built a pair of characters, a mage and an archer, who I was confident enough to take anywhere and do anything on Master difficulty. And this was all in plain vanilla Skyrim on an Xbox 360 on a big screen TV in a dark room.
Scura di Notte - Altmer Nightblade (gear)
Lalin del Sombra - Bosmer Sorcerer (alchemy/enchanting)
Angevin Sarkany - Bosmer Dragonknight

Cosima di Mattina -Altmer Sorcerer

Luca della Serata - Redguard Templar0 -
NightWatch✭✭A voice of negativity, go with SKYRIM only, at least for now. Many players have extracted 100+ hours from the vanilla Skyrim, throw in some mods and who knows how long you'll be playing. With that much content in a single game when do you expect you'll have time to play any of the others? Don't forget that the other TES games also offer many, many hours of gameplay in their own right. And of course they'll be there on Steam should you ever find the time to pursue them.

AngryWolf✭✭✭I only really got into Elder Scrolls from Oblivion, or was it Morrowind. All are great game, I just got really frustrated with the control systems and such till Skyrim, then it felt the series really open up for me. I'm really hoping they are working on another single player game. Would love to see what Bethesda has up their sleeves next. Till then, the new Dragon Age game is looking pretty darn fine!0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Morrowind is my favorite game of all time, but by modern standards, it's pretty clunky. Mod the heck out of it (Faces of Vvardenfell is, IMO, essential.), and prepare yourself for the fact that it's less of an RPG-Action hybrid than the later games. At level 1, perfect swings will miss because it's your character's skill that matters, not you own. But the enemy will miss a lot, too. Explore, adventure, and lose yourself in the world, the characters, the story. I probably have over a thousand hours of my life invested in that game.
(Also, you should probably play a warrior or thief-type character for your first. The magic system is frustrating at first.)"A probable impossibility is preferable to an improbable possibility." - Aristotle0
