Guest Irinir Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Ok, I usually just lurk around here, but I wanted input on a question I have. What happened to the goblins, did they vanished from ob to Skyrim, lore wise, or do we have a gap like in morrowind? Please, I want ansers that help me understand this lore wise, or if it's just a lapse from bethesda, I'm not whining or complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneWing Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I think they were replaced by the Falmer in skyrim... No point in having both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardivex Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) I think they were replaced by the Falmer in skyrim... No point in having both Why theres no point in having both? Goblins are very different from twisted snow elfs you know... Edited November 27, 2011 by Tardivex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYchotic666Joker Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Me thinks OnlyOneWing does not know who the Falmer really are.... Edited November 27, 2011 by PsYchotic666Joker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goblins are very different from twisted snow elfs you know...Well, I guess they are two different things... Maybe Goblins don't like the cold so much, so they don't travel further north than Oblivion...But the Falmer pretty much perform the same function, they are kind of like snow goblins... Remember, the falmer were once snow elves, but supposedly they devolved into savage creatures who dwell in caves much like Goblins. Or maybe they just realized how cliche goblins were in RPGs, and decided to get a little more creative this time around.

Falmer were actually the first race to inhabit Skyrim, and if you look up the lore on the wiki etc, you will find out why they look like they do now, and if you didn't notice by now, mostly only found near/inside dwemer ruins....hint hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarKirby3333 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Why theres no point in having both? Goblins are very different from twisted snow elfs you know... no, they are not. the falmer are identical to goblins in every way that matters. -vaguely humanoid-small-crude weaponry and buildings-mindlessly aggressive-pointy ears-vast numbers-inhabits dungeons i don't much care what the lore says. falmer are goblins. show a picture of one to any random person on the street, and they'll call it a goblin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the fact that they organise in tribes and that those tribes not always get along in Cyrodill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lore-wise... I don't think that is explained in game. Maybe we'll find out in a future release. I just assumed that it is for the same reason as why most animals and creatures tend to exist in one location and not another. It is usually because they are not mentally or physically adapted to other locations that are not indigenous to their type.
