Gentlebeard Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 After reading up on their history and how they'd been treated, I just feel like not killing them anymore. They were a normal bunch of elves, the Nords just massacred the shiet out of them, so they resorted to living with the Dwemer, who treated them as slaves. There are thousands of traps and torture equipment in dwemer ruins, and the Falmer seemed to look pretty handsome before they had their eyes gorged out. There's a statue you see during the main storyline of the Thieves Guild which shows a Falmer in his true form. What are your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelV Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) You missed the part about the Falmer slaughtering the Nords until only 3 men remained which sailed back to Atmora to return with an army to take revenge on the Falmer. I dont feel sorry for them. Edited February 1, 2012 by ModelV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchan05 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The Snow Elves attacked the Nords first when they were building Saarthal and found the artifact there. The massacre was retaliation for that, so they kind of brought that down on themselves. The Dwemer bit though was just sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think the Dwarves were further punishing them for lives (going to be) lost caused by making the Nords hate mer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlebeard Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Come on, one ruin had that floor fan blade with spikes on both sides of the room and at the end of the moving fan blade a spiky door flings open onto your face. Now throw hundreds of Falmer women and children in there, and hear their cries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectVRD Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I am just thankful that they didn't make this game to realistic, or the Falmor and Bandits would be given handouts and a free house etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krawll Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 This should be posted in the Spoilers section though. Not everyone knows how the Falmer became those underground dwellers. Now to answer your question, if i was in their position, i would probably act the same way they do. But since they basicly attack me on sight. It makes them an ennemy and i don't feel bad for killing someone who's attacking me. Now i do admit that i felt a little something after i read about them and their history but at the end of the day , they're still monsters . Their ancestors, the Snow Elves, were treated very badly but the ones you're fighting are Falmers not Snow Elves . They are the decendants of the Snow Elves. Something very similar hapenned to the Forsworn. They were rather peacefull people for some time and they basicly owned the Reach and they had their own Kingdom. Then they got overthrown and are now seen as Evil Barbarians, If i'm not mistaken, i think Ulfric Stormcloadk has a lot to do with what hapenned to the Forsworn. I'm just gonna leave it at that though. I wouldn't wanna go further into Spoilers than i already have . There is a book about that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachdonin Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 As far as the Dwemer thing goes, their behaviour in regards to the Falmer is... Well, out of character. I suspect that it's just bad writing, but if i were to explain the situation in Lore-Friendly terms, it would be something like this. The Dwemer take in the Falmer survivors.The Falmer (After a few years/decades) pressure the Dwemer to take revenge against the NordsThe Dwemer refuse, and the Falmer attempt a coup (We're led to beleive they were rather militaristic, given the Snow Prince and how easily they drove humans out the first time)The coup is put down, and the Falmer enslaved as punishment And you know the rest. It fits more with the overall character of the Dwemer as portrayed in other sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesapien Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think the writers have a thing for dungeons and torture and this why we see it as a reoccurring theme for every race and history of. And I will leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
