Breton Thief Oriana Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Uh, this belongs in one of the Morrowind sections. The debates forum is for off-topic debates, stuff like politics, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinJiOh Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 i thought the dwemer were dwarves hence "the disappearance of the dwarves"? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Thief Oriana Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmac Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 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.

Magatsu Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 As ShinJiOh said, the dwemer were dwarfs right? not elves. Why do the people of morrowind call the dwarfs dwemer? Thats so stupid and unnecesarry (cant spell that one :( ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormscape Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 "Dwarves" is the name given to the Dwemer by their friendly giant neighbours millenia ago. Then everoneelse called them the "Dwarves" or "Dwemer"Simply put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Thief Oriana Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
