Skyrim DLC: Crossbows and Snow Elves? (Rumour)

[Cheeseman Muncher]

According to someone who's dredged the latestest patch, there are hints towards the first DLC having something to do with the Snow Elves (Falmer), some Vampire stuff and the potential return of crossbows.

Apparently we might be getting a taste of the first pack at some point next week so time will tell whether this is actually the case. But if it does turn out that these do feature in it, I'm pretty excited. I've found the tale of the Falmer to be a quite a sad and interesting one and it'd be nice to get some more background/advance it in someway.

Also crossbows. =3

So the two most annoying fucking things in the vanilla game (falmer and vampires) + crossbows.

I'll pass.

But crossbows! Crossbows are awesome! D:

Pfffft, fuck the snow elves. The Falmer are nothing but throats in the dark just waiting to be slit! So they lost a war a long time ago and were forced to migrate underground where they got into another war and were forced to go even FURTHER underground...cry me a river then build a bridge and get the fuck over it. Just because your history is full of "we just got our asses kicked!" doesn't give you the right to be pissed off at every literally living above you.

It's the same thing with the Forsworn. You fucking lost the rebellion, time to put on your big-boy pants (as opposed to a filthy loin cloth) and become a decent member of society...not a member of some crazy cult worshiping a dead guy (who I killed again, thank you very much) and who apparently has ri-god damn-diculous night vision as you can see a master Sneak with sneak-boosting equipment as though he or she was holding a neon sign saying "This Person Shouldn't Be Here!"

The vampires, on the other hand, I might be interested in...hope they make a faction/coven for vampires...I think that'd be sweet!

But the Falmer were awesome. =< Annoying at times, but the whole "betrayed by the Dwemer and left to rot underground" thing made me feel quite sorry for them. Even if they were trying to slice me open. A lot.

I agree. I felt so sorry for the Falmer, after I learned what happened to them. Skyrim belongs to them.

I swear this game, really needs some 'elven revenge' DLC, I'm sick of being made to care for,and 'save' those unwashed, ignorant Nords.

I want DLC that let's me help the Thalmore win. >_>

Thats the thing with Skyrim though, isnt it? All this lore in the background, and yet nothing done with it. The snow elves betrayal is mentioned maybe twice in some book, which is quite a pity.

It's quite common with Bethesda games though - a lot of promise, a lot of lore and background work, but a lot of potential awesomeness left unplayed.

Whats funny is that most of the big lore in the Es series is done by a guy who hasn worked at Bethesda for over a decade.

Michael Kirkbride was the man who practically wrote Morrowind and he left shortly before it came out, and although he left he and Bethesda are still on good terms and they get him to write stuff for him.

 

[DirgeNovak]

Yep. That's cool.
Tired of getting quoted so... post erased!

 

[Furioso]

Crossbows when done right are awesome, I love the raw power you feel from a crossbow bolt as opposed to a regular bow

We know, you post that in every damn fantasy related thread you come across.
Help the Thalmor, pfft. The voices in my head make more sense than that...

Whats funny is that Skyrim DOESNT belong to the falmer

It has been stated in several sources that all of humanity was born on the throat of the world at the dawn of time, humans were the first real inhabitants of skyrim.

 

[MarlonBlazed]

How about a shout that gives me the V.A.T.S. from Fallout 3+ now that would be great, call it dragon eye shout or whatever.

[triggrhappy94]

I love Skyrim, but at this point it's almost like half the people who played it have moved on.
Unless they're planning on something of whole new game porportions.

because...?

OT:I find this information to be most pleasing.

From what I remember of my brief stay on the Bethesda forums, almost all TES fans would agree with you, sir.

Now back to speculation. Maybe they're calling them Snow Elves instead of Falmer because this is a group of uncorrupted Falmer? Could turn out decent or very lame. I trust Bethesda though, they've had a lot of time to work on this. And I really have to respect them for not bombarding us with DLC from day one. Yeah I'm looking at you, you greedy bastards.

 

[SajuukKhar]

I think the snow prince is just a falmer that's less mutated then the rest.

I wouldn't be surprised if they pick the least mutated falmer to be thier king.

because...?

Its dumb becuase you might as well open up the console and type TGM

TGM is toggle god mode
