If you lived in Tamriel...

[h38fh2mf]

If you lived in Tamriel which race would you like to be and where would you want to live?

 

I would like to be a dark elf, I like their culture and I would want to live in Morrowind. I know it sucks there because of the ash and it would be difficult but still.

 

Also did anyone else wonder why they don't give the wounded soldiers in temples some healing potions?

[Misplaced Reality]

Also did anyone else wonder why they don't give the wounded soldiers in temples some healing potions?

 

It's a game. Nobody  how Mario likes to hit bricks with his head and get coins, or why Simon Belmont can hit walls and find a roasted chicken.

 

I mean, wtf, what kind of currency is traded strictly through bricks? Who put the coins inside the bricks?

[Suludi]

Because they got an arrow in the knee. NOTHING can cure that, you can only try and easy their horrible pain.

 

I'd like to be a Breton farmer in Rorikstead. Breton cause they're Forsworn, pretty and can use magic, farmer cause I can then leave all the killing to those pesky adventurers, Rorikstead cause I love the Reach landscape.

 

[Guest]

If I'd actually have to live there? Probably an Altmer or a Dunmer, as long as I wouldn't have to live with an alien face like the vanilla elves. The aptitude for magic could be pretty useful...and pyromancy is awesome!

[Guest airdance]

I would like to be a Nord Jarl in Skyrim specifically Markarth, or Solitude.  I would like my character to look something like me.

[Khiropter]

A 4000 years old Snow elf vampire same as my character, but male 

[cornbreadtm]

Dunmer. Blackmarsh. My life would pretty much be like Rambo First Blood.

Originally in the original mario game those bricks are toads...Sad but true, so each brick you destroy is a toad..and those coins are there money...mario isnt as nice as we thought And I would probably end up being a Imperial or nord and live in skyrim in a nice cabin in riverwood.

 

 

• According to the Super Mario Bros. instruction book, when the Koopas first invaded the Mushroom Kingdom, they turned its people into blocks."

[h38fh2mf]

Hah cool answers I really like swamps and marshes but I hate snakes so can't live there

 

I would probably live as a farmer or warrior in an ash tribe if those still exist or in Ald Ruhn I like the houses there but no one famous or powerful.

[Lagoon0654]

Bosmer, and Riverwood.

 

No real reason though. I like the quiet life.

[Koko.Hekmatyar]

Probably a Bosmer I like nature and I love archery so it's a good fit, as for where in Tamriel I'd like to live....probably no one place just move around a lot would be My thing. Most would probably say why not live in Valenwood but it is prone to Altmer attacks so that would be out of the question.

[h38fh2mf]

I don't like Bosmers at all I find them so annoying somehow, probably from TES3 they had a really weird voice actor for Bosmers and it just stuck. This isn't racist I don't discriminate based on this opinion.

[Quemon]

I guess family member of one of the Thalmor or Empire.

Money and a smaller chance to die quick.

[StayFrosty]

Werewolf Nord, though not with the Companions...basically like my character, would want to be male like him too in a world like Tamriel. Living a wild nature kinda life style in the Rift hunting Bandits.

[Guest Lehshara]

Race Lovergirl (Or Nord) - Would like to live in Solitude and be part of Dark Brotherhood or just... well random killer I guess? <Or no no no, Paid assassin!>

[tentaclemight]

tl:dr A Nord, travelling through the coldest places of Tamriel looking for Snow Elves.

 

 

I guess I would be a Nord, a Nord that had studied everything there was to study about the Snow Elves and, upon hearing that the Dragonborn had met one (Knight-Paladin Gelebor), would've travelled to meet him and discuss the possible whereabouts of surviving conclaves of Snowelves, find those places and establish contact with them, giving them to know that there was still a place for them in Skyrim, in the Forgotten Vale, where the Chantry of Auri-El still lies, somewhat in ruins, but still... Also, even though there are not many references to this theme in Skyrim (as in the game, not the province), I think that there must be some kind of sympathy from the nowadays Nords towards the Snowelves, right? If not sympathy, then a bit of remorse? I mean, we are talking about the genocide of an *almost* entire race! Okay, the Snowelves may have started the war, but to completely wipe them out? Of course, there's always the fucking Dwemer that participated in their "transformation" to the current Falmer; my point is, should by any chance some of the Snowelves that my character would've eventually found and conviced to come to Skyrim/Forgotten Vale, it's not like they'd be attacked on sight and descriminated against, right? They're basically and endangered species; if anything they deserved help, both from the common anonymous Skyrim inhabitant and from an official level, like the High King/Queen. They are a part of Skyrim's history, and if in the 1st Era their almost extinction is viewed as a victory/good thing by the 1st Era Nords, I think it's fair to assume that current Era Nords are intelligent/sensitive enough to look at the same event but as a tragedy. I mean, there are Dunmer living in East Skyrim, a fair number of Orc Strongholds, Bretons to the West, fucking Altmer minding Skrim's business, a Breton Vampire as Cour Wizard of the High Queen, how bad would it be to have an active part in helping out the eventual surviving Snowelves?

I'm sorry, I went a little bit off topic lol. I just feel like there's so much indiference towards the Snow Elves amongst most Skyrim players, and I don't really get it =/ I was thrilled when I saw them in Dawnguard and was really disappointed by how so few attention they got in the Modding community (or maybe I'm just biased because I really like them lol). There are two Race mods, but I think only one is really good, then there's a weapons/armor mod and I think that's pretty much it. Who wouldn't want to see more of them? More of their magic? And for the party poopers that will try to convince me that they are all dead, these lines from Gelebor are enough to fuel this fantasy of mine:
"If remnants of our kind who escaped the betrayal at the hands of the dwarves exist out there, perhaps they will find this place one day.""

"It's also quite possible that there are some other isolated conclaves of snow elves nestled elsewhere on Nirn."

 

If you still want to be a party pooper and crush my Skyrim-related dreams, I don't care:

[Deep Red]

If races from mods were allowed, I'd want to be a Lunari sorceress and archmage of the Winterhold college.

 

Without mods, I'd probably be a Bosmer archer/thief. More than likely, I'd take Faendal's place in Riverwood or another similar quiet life of hunting and stealing.

[h38fh2mf]

Faendal is a dick. But I understand what you mean.

 

And that is very idealistic point of view tentaclemight, I don't think they will be attacked on sight but they will surely be discriminated and persecuted, if not even be the receiving end of violent behavior. Sure there are many races living in Skyrim but they are hated by many of the Nords for various reasons, especially now after the great war. Nords are a very welcoming people as long as you aren't a khajiit, magic user or elf. Of course not all think this way but you will meet many who do and it only takes a few to inspire the rest. I don't share your fascination with snow elves but I don't know enough on the subject.

[Hayleyrose2323]

Well..if modded in Race's count I would totally be a Elin(Im a Elin in my skyrim game)

[Uno]

With that fucking cold, I want to be a Khajiit for sure. A skooma dealer living on the road.

[h38fh2mf]

That doesn't sound legal.

[Koko.Hekmatyar]

It's not but if he sold Moon Sugar that is used to make Skooma then it would be legal.

Ah, a snitch, eh? Can't have you running to the guards now, can we? *turns violent*

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come to think of it, I want to be a Mammoth.

 

Or a dragon. Why do they even bother fighting the Dragonborn? Swoop down, snatch him, swoop up and drop him. Let's see how he can FUSRODAH himself out of falling to his death. And then WE rule Skyrim again.

 

Muahaha.

 

Oh wait. The bastard can reload, right? Ok, I want to be a mammoth.

re. Tentaclemight

 

You have more faith in human nature than I do....If the Snow Elves were human I would see the possibility of them being allowed to survive and live in relative peace, but as Elves in a Human dominated landscape....no....I can't see the Nords crying if they wiped all the Foresworn out, yet they would carry more sympathy for someone of the Human Race than they would for the Elvish. ...In fact I would see the view and treatment of the Forsworn as a good indication of the reception the Snow Elves would get and a good indication of the lack of remorse the Nords feel for wiping out another Race/Culture (they didn't learn from the first time and are obviously prepared to wipe out another race again), they would not only see the Snow Elves as a potential threat again, but as also as a another Species and an alien Culture, well people are funny about that...our own history with Indigenous People and Cultures being a clear indication of that.

 

I like the Snow Elves too and would love to think there were more survivors, but my reaction was a little different from yours....yes, I would love the idea of them repopulating in the Vale, but my thoughts having been, "But STAY HIDDEN!....Don't let the Nords know you have survived!".

Never underestimate man's capacity for evil.

 

More on topic, I'd probably go with Breton.  Modest magic capabilities for neat fire-related pub tricks, and the physical makeup is, in my opinion, more preferable than the elven races.  As far as living is concerned, I wouldn't see myself staying in one area for too long.  While playing, I enjoy exploring the world as completely as possible.  Adventure and discovery are more exciting to me than shopkeeping or farming.
