was about to make a long-winded retort but I like this better. Was referring to the average being in skyrim (I don't like the term NPC)lacktheknack said:
Though in hindsight I don't understand the features of elves in the courts and if the player is an elf.
I get that. I do. I think people are taking me a might bit too seriously. I just personally don't like the way the elves look. I don't care if anyone else likes them or not, it's no skin off my back if someone disagrees with me.Kakashi on crack said:
I just thought your post about how difficult it is to cultivate food in Skyrim was funny in the context of the mechanics in the game where food is abundant and easy to come buy because of bugs in the game and just the overall lack of any attempt by the NPCs to stop you from stealing their food. I wasn't saying you were wrong, I was just poking fun by lampooning the game.
Sarcasm aside, if you're going to use that as a retort then your whole rant was moot in the first place.Elamdri said:Well, yeah, except for the fact that elves aren't real.
Well, tough shit old timer. The world changes everyday, live with it or go lock yourself in a cupboard and ride it out untill 2012.Elamdri said:
if that's what you think, don't play morrowind, you might get an aneurysm.Elamdri said:
they look like elder scrolls elves. not much left to say.
You know, I have to agree somewhat. Really, the only races I like in the Elder Scrolls are the Khajit, the Argonians, and the Orcs because quite frankly they're exactly what I expect.Midnight Crossroads said:
I mean, I've said too much on the elves already, and if I keep going someone is going to threaten to burn my house down for having a minority opinion and being vocal and adversarial about it.
That being said, the Bretons, Nords, and Imperials are none too impressive either. Especially the women. I remember last year that someone from Bethesda said they would do a better job on the women in Skyrim and frankly, I feel lied to.
The only thing that really bothers me about the elves, is the eyes. But I don't personally mind the way they did elves. It's not like you have to follow presets or anything - make an elf that YOU like. I think just about all elves in Skyrim are ugly, but I made an Altmer that I thought was actually semi-pretty, if a little manly around the mouth, but I couldn't figure out how to make that more feminine. Elves aren't human. Elvenkind doesn't look like Humankind, and Bethesda has only come to support that. So +1 for Bethesda.

Could you give us some specific examples of exactly what it is you find hideous about them? I think they look fine. They look like... well... elves.Elamdri said:
Who cares if they aren't good looking to humans? Unless you're a disappointed elf fetishist or something. Which is fine with me, whatever you're into.
Elamdri (isn't that the name of some elf from something or other?) hasn't really set up an intelligent, meaningful debate here. He's blowing off steam and having a laugh. He doesn't like the look of the elves. I don't like them either, but it doesn't bother me as much. Some people do like them, to varying degrees. There's not much more for any of us to say about it, so yeah: kind of a pointless thread. But we all chose to chime in, so there's no reason for anyone to get offended. Dude wants to riff on Skyrim, making fun of not-so-scarce food, baskets-on-heads, and weird-looking elves, among other things.. and so far, it's been somewhat entertaining. Let's all calm down. I think some more funny pictures of elves are in order.

untill 2012.

Really though, don't make an apparent big deal about something (whether you mean't to or not is beside the point, I'm sure everyone will agree you've come across quite forcefull in your opinions) and then say "Well, yeah, except for the fact that elves aren't real." I'm sure that would have annoyed you if someone had told you to stop complaining because Elves aren't real because you obviously feel quite strongly about all this.
Just for the record, the guy that sells you decorations and gives you a guide is a Breton, soo... Yeah.Elamdri said:
You don't have to buy them, you can live in your Viking shit heap if you want to.
It's really not that hard to create a good-looking elf character. Just spend a little time on the creator, maybe put some actual thought into what you modify? I personally like the elves in Skyrim, it's nice to have a change from simply Humans with long ears.
