you know how theres dunmer, bosmer, altmer. so than in morrowind your introduced to chimer, what the dunmer are descended from. you also have dwemmer, the died out but still elven race. if you count the falmer from BM, thats 6 different elves. Plus, if you count what the orcs were changed from, thats seven, because it is written in a book (either "The Pig Children" or "The True Nature of Orcs" or something) they were once elves, making 7. So is that Seven different types or just Three? i forget, but i thought there might be one more...if so enlighten me...

from my understanding, any race that has a name with the suffix 'mer' is elvein. plus, from reading books that you find, (actually reading them, not just for the occasional bonus) you understand that there are more than just three, like how orcs are orsimer. but to me it doesnt make since how the number of races per distinction is unbalanced. 3 groups of beast races, one a pig one a lizzard and one a cat, even though the pig is actually an elf that doesnt count, and the cat can sometimes look elven. there are Four races of men, redgaurds nords imperials brettons. and only 3 playable elves, not counting orcs? how is that balanced? its too bad that you cant be more......but theres allways room to dream!(and also the tes cs if you cant)

They bypassed the limited lifespan of men by making the Nerevarine immortal (in dialogue, no spell or anything). The immortality was only longevity, actually- life forever, barring accidents.

 

Otherwise, they would have had a several-decade old human, which would not fit in.

well, i think it was not very right of the chimer to drive out the dwemmer, to be at war with them. it was the dwemmer's land orriginally. and then you her all the native dunmer, chimer evolutions, talk about how it used to be rasdayn, "Their land", when it was the dwemmer's all along. wich makes me think that the native dunmer are hipocrits. never have sympathised with the native dunmer at all, unless you count completeing MW main quest. (but this isnt the thread for that particular detail). it would be awesome if you could have more of a selection of character races, be all of the elven nations, but it would skew the history of the game and make the plot run thin.

 

(oh, bty, is this necessarily off topic? its mainly about the number of elven races, but it could be about elves in general in the game)
