Don't Dwemer have longer ears, light gray skin, and dark hair?

So no, I don't believe a Dwemer without a beard would look like an Altmer.


Why do people keep posting that pic as proof of what a Dwemer looks like?


Because that's a picture of a Dwemer from the game?


No it isnt, god youre a useless poster.

And arisen, every depiction of the Dwemer i can recall shows them bearded, so it certainly seems to be a cultural standard.


Now now, no need to be insulting lol

Now while I can understand how someone could think that is an accurate depiction of a Dwemer without the proper information you have to realise that Bethesda never intended for that npc to be "de-ghostified".

so the colour of the skin really can't be used in a discussion about Dwemer skin colour.....for all we know giving that npc that skin colour was the best way to achieve the perfect ghost colour Bethesda was going for.
They could well have used purple skin to achieve this.......but we wouldn't be sat suggesting the Dwemer were purple if they did would we?

.....the facial features on the other hand I'm not too sure about?
When Bethesda have made ghosts of npc in the newer games they haven't wildly changed facial feature as far as I'm aware, so who knows?

Would probably be a good bet. I mean, there could be other facial structure differences and whatnot we don't know about though.


Right ok, because correct me if I'm wrong but i thought the Chimer were practically identical to Altmer.
Only being a "separate race" because of them branching off from traditional worship and instead worshipping the Daedra?
Did Chimer always mean "changed ones/folk"
Or did it come to mean that after being "changed" into Dunmer by Azura?

So many questions man :S

Ps. I'm quite hurt that you think I was trying to troll *sniff*
:'(
Merry Christmas by the way dude


Lol. It was a joke, because I always search for "lore." murry xmas bb

And yeah that dwemer is a ghost, hence the look (de-ghostified). Some clown kept trying to use that once as proof that the dwemer looked like that -__-


Haha I know you were joking dude :)
I think I'm one of the select few that can actually tell when you arn't being serious and just having a laugh lol

Have a good Christmas then dude?
Did Santa come and empty his sack all over you and your room? :)

Oh he sprayed his magic white snow all over me.

<_____<

I feel kinda bad getting 400$ cash and a bunch of other crap when I'm 21, probably more than I got some years when I was younger, lol. But....I'm not complaining.

You have a good one?

Oh I hate when he does that!
.......I can never get it out of my hair :S

Yeah pretty much the same dude, even at 25 I'm still getting a crap tonne of gifts I didn't need....I appreciate it don't get me wrong.
I just think some of the money spent could have gone to my younger family members to really make it a special Christmas.
Kids nowadays just get a few gifts that cost £200 a piece.
Where I'm guessing your childhood Christmases' were like mine and you'd walk down stairs and find a mountain of action figures, video games, board games....etc.

It just doesn't have the same magic for the younger generation lol

Now on to more important things.....I FINALLY HAVE DRAGONBORN!
Not sure if you have it but my god does it deliver on the Morrowind nostalgia haha

Oh yeah I had the piles of crap too, lol. But I did get some LOTR legos from my mom this christmas, so that certainly brought back some childhood memories ^__^ (Probably my favorite gift :P I always whined about how I always wanted LOTR legos as a kid, and they never made them, but now they have them).

Yeah I have DB, and love it. It's also incredibly more substantial than I thought it'd be, as far as the amount of quests and stuff to do goes.

I almost choked up upon hearing some of that MW music start playing, lol -__-
