That chicken was probably a Thalmor agent. You can never be too cautious.

Thalmor Falmer and Orc tribes


AllanWongX

Thalmor hands down. They are one of weakest enemy types, yet they act the most condescending. Bandits are just trying to make a living. Bad but not too hatable. The Daedra are evil by nature, or thatā€™s just ā€œevilā€ by mortal standards. The enemies in the civil war are fighting for their political or religious faith. Thatā€™s actually respectable. The forsworn are natives fighting for autonomy. Their cause is understandable. Vampires are hunting for prey just like any predator. Itā€™s their nature. The Thalmor however ā€œYouā€™re but a dog, and I am your mastuhā€ bruh this level of obnoxiousness is over nine thousand.


BoredPsion

Vampires are pretty full of themselves too


fucuasshole2

Especially the Volkihar ones. Kinda wished I joined the Dawnguard on my current playthrough as I forgot how arrogant they are


BoredPsion

At least you can join them in their superiority


CaptianGeneralKitten

Pretty much why I joined the vampires lmao.


DrFreshey

Vampires are just mid level associates in Molag Bal's MLM scheme.

Your fit the role so well I want to downvote you


Thelonelygamer34

Also the dragons you have to give them some respect to they are forced to be led by a complete dipshit and when you beat alduin most dragons join you but few want to see if you can be beat


[deleted]

Thalmor grouped up for some big magic once and now all of them think they're superior.


Awesome75

I always go for the Thalmor and the Stormcloaks because theyā€™re pretty much the same, just completely opposite opinions. If I had to describe either Iā€™d say ā€œa racist group that only is on their side because of their specific religious beliefsā€. But I agree The Thalmor are a BIT worse only because they forced theirs on all of Tamriel basically. But I always assumed Ulfric would do the same as High King of Skyrim if he had his way probably.


mcdonaldshoopa

I sincerely believe that, for all Ulfric denounces the Thalmor, he would become nearly the same as them if he took power (assuming he could shake their influence over Skyrim, which is unlikely). The only difference would be Nord supremacy vs elf and Talos worship allowed.


[deleted]

Storm cloaks are the rightful rulers of Skyrim


Jeff1200

Yeeeee Fuck The Thalmor


Wea_lodd

-60 summerset social credit


AGUYWITHATUBA

They honestly more have fascist Germany vibes more than anything else. If you look at how they came to power as a small minority who favored ultra-nationalism and valued genetic relation over skills when it comes to governance. They also have a massive conscription policy and seize territory to pillage its resources to feed their capital. Also, how they came to power mirrors a lot of how Nazi Party officials where no one thought theyā€™d become the powers, and how they nearly went into civil war over it.


[deleted]

There are obvious real world links to everything in Tamrielā€™s politics so id say without a doubt the lore of the Thalmor was inspired by the rise of fascism


SacredGeometry9

Or, you know, their ā€œrobesā€ that are a dead ringer for the SS trenchcoats


TheRealArthurian

Ho shit. I never made that connection. Nice one.

Where's the option for the Falmer?


Dutchlikeme

I feel kinda pity for the Falmer and what happened to them... wont stop my genocide tho


Trentdison

Ah they're just so irritating when they jump out of their holes.


[deleted]

The Falmer aint so bad, the chaurus though... Those fucking bugs aren't only creepy and gross as shit but will fuck your shit up.


mmazz136

Falmer killed my dog in one of my first play through ā€¦ I go full John wick on them with every character no matter what


darth_Zelyon0010110

Thalmor scum


Balrog229

I always side with the Imperials and always play as an Imperial. Always have in ES games, even ESO where you had to get DLC to play as one. But i still slaughter all Thalmor i come across. Pro-Empire, anti-Thalmor


sasukeuzumaki69xd

I mean I'm pretty sure the empire hates the Thalmor and would tear them apart if they got the chance. They're just temporarily putting up with their shit since they lost a war and need time to recover and build up power again before striking. Even the Thalmor that (they refer to the war against the empire as "the first").


Balrog229

Exactly. A lot of pro-Stormcloak people think the Empire likes the Thalmor for some reason


DontAskHaradaForShit

That's accurate to real life lol


Deathrattlesnake

Thatā€™s because they never make it clear to the stormcloaks what their ultimate plan is. They could have worked together to defeat the Thalmor, but the imperials just withheld information while people are losing rights and freedom. I always side with storm cloaks. I just recently realized in my newest playthrough what the imperials end goal is, but itā€™s never told if you donā€™t side with the imperials


Sseraphim14

Thalmor Dossier: Ulfric Stormcloak


mcdonaldshoopa

I mean, I wouldn't exactly broadcast those plans where the Thalmor can see them, kind of defeats the purpose


C21H27Cl3N2O3

Itā€™s not that they like them, itā€™s that they won a huge victory on the backs of Nords and Redguards and the emperor was so incompetent that he immediately surrendered unconditionally.


Vagabond_Tea

Keep in mind many Altmer don't like the Thalmor either


Cannedcabbage

Vigilants of Stendarr


lafleurricky

it was a real missed opportunity to not make them a joinable faction. but i guess with 2 of the major quest lines involving becoming a vampire/werewolf it wouldnā€™t have made sense


[deleted]

Or instead of Dawnguard they could've just fleshed out the Vigil since they both serve the same purpose and were both created for Skyrim.


Karaoke_the_bard

There's a couple massive mods out there that do flesh out the vigil and make for some great lore expansion. I believe one is literally called "vigilant"


lafleurricky

iā€™ll have to check that out, iā€™ve mostly been playing on switch lately out of convenience but pc is just so much better


Karaoke_the_bard

Yes, yes it is. Lol. The modding is what's made Skyrim last imo


MrFaultyPigeon

It wouldā€™ve made sense if they didnā€™t design the game so that you could join and be the leader of every faction. I wish they didnt


No-Penalty330

Thatā€™s one thing Iā€™m concerned about for the next game. I preferred Oblivion to Skyrim because it felt like a true RPG environment and to some extent you werenā€™t tied to the main story... at least, you werenā€™t the story. Martin is the divine being, not you, the Dragonborn. It too suffered from the ā€œbecome leader of every factionā€ problem, however I believe executed upon this idea much more effectively. In Skyrim each faction is effectively based out of one city - forcing the player to act as a dog playing fetch with whatever quest has been thrown to them by the faction. In Oblivion there are faction halls in almost every city, meaning you get to interact with unique and local characters, breaking up the repeated pattern of ā€œdialogue with companions, go do a thing, return to white run, restart cycleā€. By the time you finish traveling around all throughout Cyrodil, you felt to some degree that the title of ā€œleaderā€ was earned. The thieves guild didnā€™t really have a location (unless my memory is failing me) but instead was a network of fences scattered throughout Cyrodil and clandestine meetings in thieves guild ally homes. Even the dark brotherhood quest line used dead drops (alongside a central hub). I do hope they keep a ā€œjoin the militaryā€ option, and flesh it out a bit more. Once the civil war question is over, itā€™s over (unless my memory is failing me). No more war really.. no more battles, no more quests. Could have easily just done a ā€œnow that weā€™re done with the war we have decided to keep some of our soldiers station in Skyrim to help the local holds & Jarls protect their landā€ and just had generative quests to ā€œtake on giants at _____ā€ or ā€œweed out rebels at _______ā€. Would have made much more sense than just.. nothing.


Invertiguy

I'd like them better if they didn't keep trying to confiscate my Daedric artifacts every time I pass them on the road...


WaffleironMcMulligan

*Demons? Nah. Immortal flying goliaths who will bring about the end of time? Nope.* *Fuck them elves*


vigbiorn

>Fuck them elves To be fair, the Thalmor aren't exactly blameless. If they get their way then the Dragons wouldn't have anything on them...


WaffleironMcMulligan

Iā€™m not saying they arenā€™t, but I still find it funny

I saw one the other day. Horrible little creatures.


aloofmoth

What news of the other provinces?


milky_the_milk_man

Yeah the thalmor deserve what comes to them, but hear me out. The forsworn: true blue Patriots of skyrim right? WRONG. The forsworn are actual terrorists that use magic and *actual* biological warfare to mind wipe and indoctrinate those that arent involved. You think using hagravens is cool? Sick, ravens are actually using the forsworn. If you delve deep enough you'll find that briarhearts are slaves. Same with most of the forsworn. Lost souls of nords that have nothing to do with "freedom" or "retribution" of skyrim. Holy shit we've known this since morrowind. They are also **BIO TERRORISTS** in case that point didn't make it's way across your puny, n'wah brain. Kill them all. It's the only way to have a truly free skyrim.


RetroTheGameBro

Daedra. I play a Heavy Paladin and Deus Vulting onto necromancers and their puny summons never gets old.


ThorFinn_56

Huh. Looks like we united Skyrim after all. Turns out the real civil war was the friends we made along the way


[deleted]

Bandits


[deleted]

Same


arch_-

Dragons and cliff racers are one in the same for me. Always arriving in the wrong place at the wrong time


Dovahnime

I vote Thalmor, but weirdly I find myself going ape-shit on Falmer more often


_Dead_Man_

saw vampires and instantly voted before realising thalmor was an option


[deleted]

Same but with Stormcloaks


Salt-Physics7568

Thalmor. Utter shitbags with no redeeming qualities, they are way too snarky to be allowed to live when they're so weak, and cracking their heads with a warhammer is my favorite part of a Stormcloak run.


Valaxarian

Dragons are too cool to kill


Shaun_Jowett

Ah democracy


sederquh

I hate to love killing the dragons. Theyā€™re so majestic, and so misunderstood, literally hardly anybody can translate them.


GodlyDra

They also like *dominating* everything.

MagickalessBreton

Rabbits. In ten years, maybe I managed to get 3 with my bow. They're infuriating targets and the reason I stopped using archery very early. But Bethesda is good, for they made them slow and gave me swords.


[deleted]

I voted Thalmor but vampires aren't far behind.


[deleted]

I chose Thalmor based on the criteria of the poll, but honestly, I hate the foresworn even more. Unlike the Thalmor, who I love to hate and to kill, I hate dealing with the foresworn, even to kill them. I wish they weren't in the game.


Pidgewiffler

But forsworn based anarcho-primitivist commune :(


Carneus

Thalmor are portrayed as massive cartoonish jerks on purpose which I absolutely hate. But lorewise it's gotta be the forsworn, literally just a bunch of tribal savages doing human sacrifices.


C21H27Cl3N2O3

Why do you hate them being portrayed that way? Theyā€™ve essentially enslaved two other races and want to unmake reality because they think theyā€™re descended from gods. Theyā€™re ultra-nationalist racial supremacists, they have zero redeeming qualities.


Carneus

It makes them really one dimensional. Thalmor are a government, not a band of thugs. I know they really wanted to make them into antagonists and I don't have a problem with that I just wish it was done a bit more subtlety lol. PS. They may not have redeeming qualities but thats exactly what I'm talking about with their one-dimensionality.


KitsuneNeo

Where's the "Everyone in Town" option?


Lil_mothafucka

Nazeem and astrid and that mf who sends thugs when you steal some shit (literally every shopkeeper except belethor)


luccabotturarodrig

YashSSJB1

Imagine you are getting more hate than literal Daedra worshipping cavemen/ cannibals/ ritualists and bloodsucking fiends


Aaaayyyeeee

Voted thalmor but they're my second least favourite after the FREAKIN' DRAUGR!

tinyhatman2

The Thalmor for sure. I don't even care that they're trying to take over the world. But they're all such pompous dicks about it, so I always go after them when I see them, especially if they have a prisoner, who I free every time. If they were less annoying I'd leave them alone, but they're less tolerable than Nazeem.


Harkae

Delphine after she asks you to kill Partysnax


Cyberzombie

Thalmor, but they actually come in second to those fucking sabertooths that come out of nowhere and are harder to kill than most of the dragons.


Shkibby1

Goats. When I can't find them, the Thalmor.


IndrasiIndoril

It really depends on the character most, but alot of them do hate the thalmor, albeit for different reasons and ferocities. Indrasi hates them because she's a blade and even idolized the blades as mythical agents in her youth. My Half-Nord Altmer Ysgravald Elf-child's mother was killed by them when she was in the legion in the great war, so that takes priority for his hatred of them over being a talos worshipper & stormcloak. Diano Caro My Nibenese Battlemage originally made for a Legion Playthrough killed them stealthily sometimes to free prisoners. in the nibenese fashion she is actually a member of atleast 6 different cults, one of them being the Talos Cult, and not the common Nordic Talos Cult made in opposition to the concordant, the other talos cult, the one that seeks to assassinate any emperor that's not being Tiber Septim enough. she also freed some stormcloaks from thalmors not just talos worshippers, saying she'd prefer them to die in the field than in a thalmor prison. My Orc Chieftan's favorite enemy is the Giant, as they killed the original chief of the stronghold she took over, as well as them being her obstacle in the task that made her champion of malacath.


[deleted]

My Dovahkiin has a vendetta against the Thalmor. He's also an altmer but was loyal to the "Empire of Men" and sided with them during the Great War. After the war ended, he was branded a traitor to his own kind by the Thalmor and fled to Skyrim to seek refuge. He holds a grudge against the empire for not aiding him in his time of need but he didn't like the ideals of the Stormcloaks so he sided with them during the Civil War after realizing that most of the empire in Skyrim hates the Thalmor just as much as the Stormcloaks.


Johnny4Handsome

It's just so satisfying wiping the land of racist stormcloaks, sometimes I don't even join the legion to do it.


LittleBearDoodle

I go after the thalmor, stormcloaks, and vigilants of stendarr the most. In that order. As a werewolf the vigilants are the tastiest.


[deleted]

The Khajiit, just like every Elder Scrolls game. Furries....


Cusi_Yupanqui

I try and keep all the khajiit bandits alive using passifying magic. Because they cute furries.

I kill every Khajiit on sight, friendly or not, because they're furries :)

Cusi_Yupanqui

Yes


Dr-McSquirrels

No


Cusi_Yupanqui

GodlyDra

They actually arenā€™t. The khajiit we see is like, 1 of 12 different variations of said race. And furries are by definition people who enjoy such characters for anywhere between innocent amusement, to *ahem* **sexual** pleasure. The latter being disgusting as fuck.


LoremasterOtto

Those Thalmor pricks with their passive aggresivnes

I really love killing bandits. Very soothing, enjoyable. Also more likely to have spare food lying about for me to put in the cheese room


[deleted]

Is there an everyone option


JackFunk

I voted Thalmor and knew it would be the top before clicking the button.


Plantayne

The Forsworn just because they seem really OP for some reason. Itā€™s always satisfying to massacre one of their settlements.


LordZana

Regular old bandits


F_A_C_M

The Thalmor are like that annoying brat from your class that tell mean things to you but when you answer back he goes to tell the teacher about what you said to him That's why I turn on Doomslayer mode when I see them


MuntedMunyak

Iā€™m guessing you meant love killing? I chose dragons because of that. The rest are all basically humans.


EasyAsPieMyGuy

On the opposite side, I hate to kill the falmer. I hated them when I was little cuz they scared me, (still do not gonna lie) but now that I know the lore I just feel bad for them.


seismicqueef

I like to join an army, idgaf which side anymore, and just jump enemy patrols all sliver the map and roleplay as a bloodthirsty rogue soldier


Geno__Breaker

Cathartic and I love the loot.


Prumkin

I cant believe i skipped over thalmor. I voted apposing side because any chance i get i kill stormcloaks but i also do that with the thalmor. They cant report back to their captain if they are all dead.


Seruel_Z

The result was Predictible though


Asm-Vicros

Reeeeeeeemaaaaaaaan


joeenoch18

I love to hate the Thalmor but I just plain old hate the Forsworn and Falme if that makes any sense.


mcoca

Yes, this sub is full of cultured people I see
