@@davidlilley2736 are you on console or pc? because i know there's a way on pc. not sure about xbox, though the old version of skyrim was like this by default.

To be fair, Bosmer men are the shortest of the races in Tamriel while Altmer men are the tallest. It's not too difficult to see why it failed from a lore perspective. Also for some reason, in most races the men are slightly taller than the women except for Bosmer, where the women are slightly taller than the men, leaving both the tallest and shortest people in Tamriel as Elven males.
@@CursedAndHauntedMiko you can do this with nearly any race but how well it works depends on what race you are. If you're a high elf; it works perfectly If you're a wood elf or dark elf; it works somewhat well but you can't get too close for too long If you're playing as a human (Breton, Redguard, Nord or Imperial); you have to keep a bit more distance but it'll still work For an Orc it works less well, but keeping a large distance will keep you undetected And with an Argonian or Khajiit it basically doesn't work at all, I mean you've got a tail sticking out, they can all see it.
Yeah. Khajit/Argonians fail by default, while humans and orcs can fool from a distance. Dunmer and Bosmer fail at the wizard check. Only high elves can bluff the wizard into letting them in without issue.
To be fair, for this quest. Faction armor if it was in the game wouldn't be enough, as they would only be not suspicious about high elves in faction armor. Though if faction armor was in the game properly, it would be great If you could get a forged document to show. So they believe you're an Thalmor spy, and you're to say deliver a report to the solar and await the host to come over to deliver said report.
Theres actually a few cool interactions when wearing faction armor. Hadvar will tell you to ditch your Stormcloak armor just before exiting the Helgen cave. Captain Aldis will question you about wearing Stormcloak armor too, you can even relieve a bounty in Haafingar for it.
The DB being an Altmer makes me laugh every time. It's just the idea of some random elf going "IDK what's happening, why these humans are basically worshiping me while actively trying to kill every other mer? And I ate a dragon soul, please help, I am so lost, IDK what's happening here" and still managing.

It's in vanilla actually. Though there's a bug that the disguise will not work if you use the Thalmor robes inside a room in the Embassy. You have to bring your own.
Imagine, four things are necessary for this to even work: 1. Must be high elf. 2. Must wear the hooded version of the Thalmor Robes. 3. Must walk instead of run. 4. Must have a high Speech skill.
I did this with my Dunmer last time. When I got to the courtyard, the guards were all flexing and going "Come here. Let me see your face". I was like NO :C
I did it with a nord in hooded thalmor robes and they just kept creeping closer with weapons drawn saying “Come here, let me see your face.” at all but the furthest range.
@@sirnilsolav6646 it _kind of_ works for other Mer and humans (not beastfolk), but it's not as effective. You'll be spotted if you stop moving or get too close to a guard.
The robes left in the side room were meant to be used for this..... however, they’re not hooded, so it doesn’t work unless you bring your own hooded robes... small stuff like this shows how much potential this game had, but the final release just fell short in the fine details department..
I remember one play through as a Dunmer I was trying to be sneaky. As I was trying to figure out how to get past the guy at the door, a dragon attacked out of nowhere and all the guards took of towards it while I just slipped past. Rather convenient timing ;)
Either it's a repurposed building, the local Nords have mostly never seen many Altmer and used their own heights for comparison's sake, or they knew and it was completely intentional.
It's more than obvious that it's reused assets and Bethesda cares little for finer fine details, but hey atleast we can say that they probably hired Nord architects and workers to make it based on Skyrim standards
I wish Skyrim would have added the Thalmor Embassy as a Faction exclusive to the Altmer. Which they send you out to take out rouge stormcloaks, retrieve artifacts, and do a little infiltrating here and there. Someone needs to make the Thalmor Faction into a mod
It's kinda an option with the Live Another Live and the Realm of Lorkhan mods. You still play out the story as vanilla but how you get to Helgen is different allowing for a "Thalmor RP" build.
Skyrim was the first game I’ve unlocked every achievement on. Did you know it’s possible to get both quest rewards from Hircine’s daedric quest? If you side with Sinding during the hunt, you can kill him at the end to get his skin, and then the Savior’s Hide. When you leave the grotto, Hircine will appear and give you the ring, as well. *:^D*
Really? I thought you have to side with him, kill sinding after he says his goodbyes, leave, get the ring first, then go back inside and then you aquire the hide.
It’s probably a good thing this isn’t a feature in the beginning of the game. Imagine wearing Imperial armor, but siding with Ralof. And when you meet the other Stormcloaks they all just butcher you.

I promise you that when ES6 is being discussed openly at E3 and other events there will be so many things promised that won't be in the game. One of them is going to be more dynamic quest completion routes like this and we'll see one example of it before the game comes out, only to find out that the example shown is the only quest in the game like that. Like how Fallout 4 pre-release promo material made us think everyone would call your character by name based on a list of thousands of names, but it only turned out to be Codsworth and only occasionally.
He did it poorly too, it didn't matter if he was crying or shouting with joy, he'd immediately make a drastic pause to utter your name in near-monotone before continuing to sob or yell or laugh or whatever he was doing. Fucking garbage gimmick.
Nah -Be me, a megachad Nord barbarian with the power of the Thu’um. -Barely sneak through Elenwyn’s party. -Get through the kitchen and Proceed to wreck shop with the power of the Thu’um. -Murder my way through the guards and into the Solar. -Thalmor inside are helpless to stop me as I Fus Ro Dah them into Oblivion. -Get the info then get into the dungeon. -Thalmor guards get halfway through using Malborn as a hostage before I put an axe in their face. -Leave the place a bloody mess and boogaloo my way back to High Hrothgar. -Kick Elenwyn out of the coming peace conference just to spite her again.
My first character in Skyrim was a High Elf named Legolas (Yes I've very creative with names) I remember doing this mission when I was 10 years old, for some reason I found this whole situation hilarious back in the day.
Don't feel bad, for a long time many of my characters just had my name because I couldn't think of another one. And more recently I've been getting into Morrowind, and named my character Nerevar for the hell of it because I know Dagoth calls you by that name. I regret this choice now that I realize I have a hard time telling if they're talking about Nerevar or me the Nerevarine. Also realized the Tribunal is hunting down believers of the Nerevarine prophecy and here I am named straight-up Nerevar. With my custom class, intended to be good with Sunder, Keening, and Wraithguard in time (blunt, short blade, and heavy armor are some tagged skills) named "Nerevarine" because I am very good at not incriminating myself in a foreign country. Least I'm a Dunmer, which I only realized later that outlander Dunmer are hated worse than normal outlanders because they don't know shit about their supposed homeland. I'm tempted to start over and look more inconspicuous, but I fear I'm too far in to start over now. So onward sweet Nerevar goes. Guess this explains the Dark Brotherhood assassins they keep sending after me in my sleep.
Ngl I had a feeling this would work since the room right over where the guards are talking, there's some armour and robes. Note though: it only works with high elves. I tried with a wood elf and they immediately went into combat
I didn’t expect this in a Bethesda game. Wowee. Very stealthy and sly, my yellow elfy friend 👍 Much better than when I did this mission and accidentally transformed into a werewolf 😅
I intentionally turned into a werewolf after a Thalmor soldier said something to the effect of 'you are a dog and I am your master'. My reply roughly was, "Oh... yeah, about that..."
@@Techhunter_Talon i was leaving Riften one time when some jerks in a nearby castle tried to sick their pit dogs on me. But i have a mod that makes me a friend of all the doggos in the game.

"with any luck it will eat the mages first, maybe give us enough time to kill it." This is the competence of the same faction that served the Empire their own asses on a silver platter.
In my very first playthrough I unsheathed the Wuthraad & left a bloody path, in the second I snuck past + assassinated most of them / made them fight each other. Now I'm playing the special edition & I'm definitely going to try this, not sure how it works with breton characters though.
@@goryanadazaghal1206 It does kinda. You have to keep your distance from other Thalmor and remain walking but getting into the building being guarded by a mage is the one hitch to this. You have to either kill them or use something to give yourself invisibility.
I remember my very first play through, I was an Argonian and I joined the Stormcloaks because they seemed like the cooler faction. At some point I made my way to Solitude and was still wearing the Stormcloak armor and was promptly chastised by a guard and threatened with jail.

I am a skyrim addict for close to ten years now, and I never noticed the door you used
I promise you that when ES6 is being discussed openly at E3 and other events there will be so many things promised that won't be in the game. One of them is going to be more dynamic quest completion routes like this and we'll see one example of it before the game comes out, only to find out that the example shown is the only quest in the game like that. Like how Fallout 4 pre-release promo material made us think everyone would call your character by name based on a list of thousands of names, but it only turned out to be Codsworth and only occasionally.
He did it poorly too, it didn't matter if he was crying or shouting with joy, he'd immediately make a drastic pause to utter your name in near-monotone before continuing to sob or yell or laugh or whatever he was doing. Fucking garbage gimmick.
Also Codsworth willl say names like “mr fuckface”, but there’s loads of normal names that he can’t say.
Hitman: "Ah, nice moves there Mr. It JuSt WoRkS..."
I had no idea you could do this
[You are still disguised as a member of the Thalmor]
Nah
-Be me, a megachad Nord barbarian with the power of the Thu’um.
-Barely sneak through Elenwyn’s party.
-Get through the kitchen and Proceed to wreck shop with the power of the Thu’um.
-Murder my way through the guards and into the Solar.
-Thalmor inside are helpless to stop me as I Fus Ro Dah them into Oblivion.
-Get the info then get into the dungeon.
-Thalmor guards get halfway through using Malborn as a hostage before I put an axe in their face.
-Leave the place a bloody mess and boogaloo my way back to High Hrothgar.
-Kick Elenwyn out of the coming peace conference just to spite her again.
You truly never know everything there is to know about Skyrim.
My first character in Skyrim was a High Elf named Legolas (Yes I've very creative with names) I remember doing this mission when I was 10 years old, for some reason I found this whole situation hilarious back in the day.
Don't feel bad, for a long time many of my characters just had my name because I couldn't think of another one.
And more recently I've been getting into Morrowind, and named my character Nerevar for the hell of it because I know Dagoth calls you by that name. I regret this choice now that I realize I have a hard time telling if they're talking about Nerevar or me the Nerevarine.
Also realized the Tribunal is hunting down believers of the Nerevarine prophecy and here I am named straight-up Nerevar. With my custom class, intended to be good with Sunder, Keening, and Wraithguard in time (blunt, short blade, and heavy armor are some tagged skills) named "Nerevarine" because I am very good at not incriminating myself in a foreign country.
Least I'm a Dunmer, which I only realized later that outlander Dunmer are hated worse than normal outlanders because they don't know shit about their supposed homeland.
I'm tempted to start over and look more inconspicuous, but I fear I'm too far in to start over now.
So onward sweet Nerevar goes. Guess this explains the Dark Brotherhood assassins they keep sending after me in my sleep.
I'm trying to complete my breton conjuration build but now you're here making want to start my high elf two-handed playthrough soonerಠ﹏ಠ
I remember being so surprised when I first did this with my Altmer Thief
master race dragonborn. cant get any better than this
Ngl I had a feeling this would work since the room right over where the guards are talking, there's some armour and robes. Note though: it only works with high elves. I tried with a wood elf and they immediately went into combat
I just booted up with my high elf witch. I may try this
YOOOO, I didn’t know this! This is awesome attention to detail!
I just like how the guards saying they hope a Dragon kills mages first, and this in front of you in a mage outfit.
Played this game for hours and hours and I’m still discovering things
I've done that before as a khajit and it worked surprisingly. I guess it might be because the khajit are a part of the Dominion.
Maybe everyone stationed at the Embassy that day were cat lovers? :P
giving an new meaning to "hiding on plain sight".
Not really. That's literally what it means lmao
In all my years I didn't know that
I didn’t expect this in a Bethesda game. Wowee.
Very stealthy and sly, my yellow elfy friend 👍
Much better than when I did this mission and accidentally transformed into a werewolf 😅
I intentionally turned into a werewolf after a Thalmor soldier said something to the effect of 'you are a dog and I am your master'. My reply roughly was, "Oh... yeah, about that..."
@@Techhunter_Talon lolololol “it was at this point, the thalmor knew he screwed up”
@@leahl5007 **Cuts to Thalmor Soldier getting his throat ripped out by a ravenous Khajiit werewolf.**
@@Techhunter_Talon i was leaving Riften one time when some jerks in a nearby castle tried to sick their pit dogs on me. But i have a mod that makes me a friend of all the doggos in the game. So the wolfies just walked up and said hi to me. I realized these badguys were abusing wolfie bois, so I transformed into a werewolf and ate every single bad man in that castle. 😆
Being werewolves is the heckin best 😋
@@leahl5007 I enjoy being a werewolf because it just feels cool to save pit wolves from the bandits, but people keep thinking I'm a furry whenever I mention it hah 🥲
I'm not even 😭
"with any luck it will eat the mages first, maybe give us enough time to kill it."
This is the competence of the same faction that served the Empire their own asses on a silver platter.
"Make sure nobody enters the solar", enters the solar immediately.
In my very first playthrough I unsheathed the Wuthraad & left a bloody path, in the second I snuck past + assassinated most of them / made them fight each other.
Now I'm playing the special edition & I'm definitely going to try this, not sure how it works with breton characters though.
it doesn't
@@goryanadazaghal1206 It does kinda. You have to keep your distance from other Thalmor and remain walking but getting into the building being guarded by a mage is the one hitch to this. You have to either kill them or use something to give yourself invisibility.

Lol the 2 guys in the beginning talking to each other with the exact same voice actor
I remember my very first play through, I was an Argonian and I joined the Stormcloaks because they seemed like the cooler faction. At some point I made my way to Solitude and was still wearing the Stormcloak armor and was promptly chastised by a guard and threatened with jail.
Whoops.
That said, I'll admit that I like the Stormcloak's armor better. Mainly the colors.
the reason why i created a high elf and surprisingly it worked.
If only we could scream "REMAN" At the Embassy...
well, when you play as a redguard all you can do is go crazy with Wuuthrad
