You get to mantle a god in Shivering Isles, whilst in KotN you put on some genocidal dick's armor and kill some Ayleid dick again.

They were just misunderstood.

At one point he was slaughtering Khajit until he figured out they weren't elves.
The Ayleids deserved it (there was actually Aedra-worshipping Ayleids but they got beat out by the Daedric-worshipping Ayleids. Might have made a difference...maybe.), but the above leads me to believe he didn't distinguish the differences between Mer all that often.

Man, back when I had an xbox 360, I used to play Skyrim all the time. I built a really big house at the place in snowy area by the ocean. Sorry I ain't able to give exact location, it's been way too long.
It's too bad. I really miss that game.

"According to legend, the Ayleids literally turned cruelty into an art form, and many Daedra-worshipping Ayleids across Cyrodiil derived strange pleasures from "art-tortures".
Typically, Ayleid kingdoms where the most malevolent Daedric Princes were worshipped also proved to exhibit the worst treatment of their slaves.[18] Various settlements became famous for their particular, elaborate method of torturing their slaves, such as "wailing wheels", "gut gardens", "flesh-sculptures", and forced ingestion of hallucinogenic drugs, as well as nighttime "tiger sport", which involved the immolation of human children"

Oh, sorry humans, you just don't understand how much I want to burn your children alive for funsies :^)

He was only trying to rid the franchise of furries, can't really blame him for that. :^)

The Khajit have warred with Valenwood when the Altmer weren't making us allies, and it's theorized the Khajit genocided the Bird-Men in Cyrodiil so I'm not going to go on about the Khajit. He could have been killing Bosmer. Though, if you're willing to go to Ayleid cities which have that freak-ass artwork...eh, IDK.

I keep thinking "How does some genocidal cyborg from the future mistake Khajiit for Bosmer", but I think he killed from the Ohmes.

that aside, ignoring Skyrim, the Khajiit aren't really innocent all things considered. I mean, no race is, but the Khajiit are too supremacist for a bunch of anthropomorphic felines

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

Dunmer culture is more moral than Khajiit, and the Dunmer think Boethiah and Mephala are absolutely fantastic.

[Prumia]

All this talk about Oblivion DLC has me thinking about Knights of the Nine again... Shivering Isles was way better, of course, but Knights was not bad either. But you never hear anyone mention it and Skyrim only brought it up long enough to say it happened.

You get to mantle a god in Shivering Isles, whilst in KotN you put on some genocidal dick's armor and kill some Ayleid dick again.

Like I said, Shivering Isles was way better, but Knights of the Nine still had its moments. That final fight with Umaril is one of my favorites in gaming.

I just wanna say that the entire TES universe is set in the dream of a Sleeping Schizophrenic. None of it is real,
Queen Ayrenn is a Ayleid Mining vehicle from the 9th Era.
Pelinal is a terminator/Robot sent from the future to protect St. Alessia.
Vivec and Talos are true gods
Talos is Lorkhan.

Supremacist? I haven't looked very much into Khajit history, so all I know is that they may have genocided a race ages and ages ago, so I'm not sure how else they could be supremacist.

[Zanera]

I took a glance at Khajiti history/lore and they seem more inclined to be humble rather than supremacist to me. I'm sure there's a few prideful Khajit, but they don't even seem as stuck-up as the Dunmer.

I also read some Altmer/Summerset Isle-related lore and their society seems to be based on being smug assholes, so I stand by my Altmer-related assertions.

Is it just me, or are almost all the Bosmer-style armors aesthetically-challenged? (I don't play ESO. If I did, I'd ride a bear tho)

Chop down a tree and nobody cares, but put one skull on your head and everyone flips out!

I know Bosmer probably ain't known for wearing heavy armor, but it still looks dum tho.

He and his tribe live here in stately and exotic palaces built from massive timbers of Valenwood oak, whose territorial borders are only a few hundred miles away.

"Though they are excellent archers, the Green Pact forces their bowyers and fletchers to use bone or similar materials, or to buy bows and arrows from other cultures. The use of woodcrafts created by another race is not forbidden, nor is the sale of their own Valenwood timber as long as it is collected by a non-Bosmeri.

First, Valenwood should invade Elsweyr for their bullshit over at Torval.
Then I figure out what 'collected' means.

what is your favorite character race that you played with, and what have you accomplished with that character in Skyrim?

Dunmer (my main character in Morrowind, my second pick in Oblivion) and not a thing in Skyrim since I never made a Dunmer character for Skyrim.
