I'll pass.
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.
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.
I agree here. This kills me, in Skyrim especially. There is all this amazingly deep and rich lore but NONE of it is represented in the game besides some flavor text in books. It makes me sad.
If you do the Thieves Guild storyline, you get to see an ancient statue of a Snow Elf
I have done it. It is just too bad the whole storyline is such a clusterfuck.

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.
Goddamn snow elves took our country!!!

.....And our jobs!!

OT: I would find this interesting if I still had Skyrim.

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. >_>
The Snow Elves started the war with the Nords though, everything was going fine until the Snow Elves decided to be dicks and attack the Nords for a reason thats never explained. Im supposed to feel sorry for them that they got their asses kicked in a war that they started?

Although what the Dwemer did to them was a bit more than they deserved though. I guess it just goes to show you, "Theres always a bigger asshole"

Well Dagon the Razor supposedly tricked the Falmer into starting the war.

http://www.imperial-library.info/content/seven-fights-aldudagga
Herkel Shield-Fed now looked at Dagon cockeyed and said, "Wait, it was you who sent that horde of elves who, though pierced to their five-thousandth rank, would not be stopped?" to which Dagon responded, "Of course! Though it was easy, as they hated you anyway, but yes, yes, it was I who stoked the fire in grim dreams and mirrors, which has only now saw fit to stop burning!

You do realize that the Thalmor are genocidal, tyrannical monsters, right?

They started a war with the Nords because Nords were multiplying like rabbits, and the Falmer launched a pre-emptive strike against them.

You do realize that the person the are fighting against, Lorkhan, tricked countless spirits into making the mortal world, resulting in the death of untold numbers of beings, the systematic spiritual degradation of countless others into mortal forms, and then has sent numerous Avatars to the mortal realm to murder elven kind to keep them trapped to force them to try to find CHIM, something they never wanted?

The Thalmor may be genocidal but Lorkhan/Talos/Shor/Sithis is no better.

Man, the less I see of the Falmer, the better. Freaking pests. Screw them. Nothing more than nuisances. And I wasn't really a fan of vampirism, so nuts to that. Similarly ambivalent to crossbows.

Guess I'm not all that excited for this patch/DLC, though I wouldn't mind more time in Skyrim.

Just be grateful its not more Drauger and snake/bird/whale puzzles
My main problem with the game right here. Maybe I'm just not doing it right, but it seems like 60% of the quests boil down to "raid random zombie-filled dungeon". I don't know, it seems to me like Oblivion had a bit more variety, though that could just be my nostalgia-glasses.

Crossbows are cheap, both in real-life and in-games. All it's going to do is make it a COD game.

You know it.
That was a great read. More or less exactly what's wrong with Skyrim, and Bethesda games in general.

Snow Elves -- #36 in the Big Book of Mythical Races for the Imaginationless. "We need a new race... We have wood elves, dark elves and high elves already... Snow elves? Brilliant!"

Bioware and bethesda also seem to share this mentality: Every single thing in the game has to be accesible on one character with every alignment and build. Thus rendering their choices meaningless. Oh obviously when they want to go all artsy and DO present a choice, it still doesn't affect anything big. Characters are simply replaced if they die, bethesda even makes them immortal, choices that are presented as having big consequences at first are retconned later etc. They should learn from CCProjektRed and Obsidian.
I don't think you understand how roleplaying works. See, the game doesn't need to give you something for your choices. Your choices should reflect your character's personality. I don't go around with my RP characters, asking for a jellybean every time I make a choice or roll a dice.

Are we really at this point? Do we really now need someone giving us a pat on the back and reading us a bedtime story? It's called immaaaaaggginnaaatiiiiooonnn.
