The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

Rolf: You damn gray-skin. Go back to Morrowind!
Dunmer: *Beats him up*
Rolf: Good to see you again, friend. :)
Dunmer: *Leaves*
Rolf: Get out of my face. >:(
I was also very disappointed that you can't kill the dude. He's basically racist Nazeem
What did you expect fron the brother of Galmar Stone-Fist
@Fianna Wrong
@Fianna It's more of a superiority complex, but I guess that makes it easy to fall into racism.
I think he's bipolar...😹
Is being a Dunmer worth it?
I don't need to sleep, i need answers
Australiansss
To be a Dunmer is the dumber bummer of a choice.
Only as the Dragonborn do you have a voice.
Otherwise, you'll always be second class with the Nords constantly up your ass.
You're filled with sorrow, like you've sinned.
You better just run your gloomy ass back to Morrowind.
@Wirr Ling long life span means low birth rate. So I don't think that's a huge issue.
@@KiX-K4T13 For your sake I hope you're being satire
Neloth is 1000 years old give and take a few years, why would a short lived nord Dragonborn be superior, to one of the most powerful wizards in Tamriel? Tough question right?
Resistance to fire, natural arcane ability, cool appearance, awesome culture, long lifespan, where do I sign up?
Even longer if you’re a vamp
Well, when you choose a race...
-N'Wah
-N'Wah
-Dunmer

Which would you choose?
@Pharaoh Sorry - a „breton“ is not on the list! I guess he already has gone to the block…
Scott saying that he wouldn't choose Dunmer feels like the biggest betrayal in history
My jaw hit the floor
Yea i had the same reaction, how dare you say the dunmer arent worth it.
Lol
A dunmer master telvanni mage or dragonborn, is too powerful to care about the political landscape or societal structure in tamriel. so scott's comment about them having a shitty deal staying in Morrowind or moving to Skyrim seems absurd.
@@thomasrosendahl2783 but most Dunmer aren't Dragonborn or leaders of the great houses, so for most Dunmer his point, I would say, is sound
"Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one" - Bruce Lee, pretty much sums up my answer.
I was wondering which race to choose, and I've recently come across this quote , and your comment is the third time I've seen it, so idk maybe I should choose Dark Elf lol
This videos literally give Skyrim a lot of sense. Bethesda should pay you, amazing content.
They purposely don't hire people like fudge muppet. They make us look for things. They could hire him to make content but don't expect them to hire him to explain it.
@@kyleanderson449 yeah, I was gonna say. They should hire them to write more lore rather than pay them to explain it.
Imagine being a Dark Elf and joining the stormcloaks.
My friend actually did that on first skyrim playthrough
I did that specifically because being an average dark elf would be shitty, but being the dovahkiin and a dark elf and being the most powerful soldier of the stormcloak army could just elevate the dunmer people in the nords eyes, and it would give them a new home.
A dunmer wouldn't get involved in the civil war imo. If you talk to the dark elves in raven rock you'll learn that they all hate the empire for abandoning them during the oblivion crisis. They wouldn't join the Stormcloaks either because they don't care about outsiders, and it's also unlikely for a Dunmer to worship anyone besides Mephala, Boetiah and Azura
I did. My character was one of those Dunmer not born in the homeland so they had little to no real connection to their people. Which is justified as Dark Elves even treat Dark Elves born and rised outside the homeland like crap.
Although I like the idea of roleplaying as a high or dark elf and joining the Stormcloak rebellion to show the people of Skyrim that there's anything good in those wretched races
I love Dark Elves so despite the hard life I would still choose to be one.
Starts playing "It's the hard knock life, for us" Jay-Z...
Fits us Dumners huh lol
You. You a Dark Elf lover? Get out of our city, you filthy piece of trash!
Agreed
@@marocho129 You're talking some mad shit for someone in crusading distance
Scott said being a Dunmer would be a shitty deal in skyrim, but no matter what race you play, being a dragonborn will always be relevant. So if a character is that powerful being a dragonborn, i do not understand the logic behind Scott's statement.
How is this the last one?
You still have mud crabs left
What about snow elves ..... oh wait
Sweet rolls
Hikoplays you would get eaten
@@Valencetheshireman927 too soon
@@Metaphix It’s been thousands of years !
Because of Morrowind and its deep dive into Dunmer culture, I love the Dark Elves. Plus you get to call people "n'wah" and "s'wit."
What other culture could have produced the Tribunal? Love 'em or hate 'em, they're *interesting* and that's more than I can say for far too many characters in rpg's.
Jimmyinvictus
They’re also racist slave owners.
Argonians are property.
@@jacobislucas Hippity hoppity, lizards are property.
The rest of the race are no less racist and slavery still exists in other forms, the Dummer are just more honest.
@@Jakovdred Agreed! I also highly recommend looking at the new whirling school website and its excellent discussion of the 36 Lessons of Vivec and Dunmeri culture.
The ending of the words is ALMSIVI
Is being a Dragonborn WORTH IT?
Complain if ya don’t mind walking about, hardly getting thanks besides many houses, etc, and doing everyone’s work for them, then yes.
Yes it is worth it for the power to literally shout your problems away
Mauricio José Osuna tbh, if I were a person in Skyrim, I’d choose to study the dwarves and technology.
Either that or try jumpstart the industrial revolution XD
Do you require air to breath?
Demigod status? Yes please!
To much work nah
Dunmer are my absolute favorite race so I would have to pick them. Morrowind may be in a wreck but I’d embrace the Dunmer culture and view that life’s hardships make you stronger and I’d help pick up the pieces and get my Homeland back to it’s former glory and drink all the sujamma I could! :)
May Azura guide you.
Imperials best race.
Only the average dunmer commoner would have a harsh life either travelling to Skyrim or staying in Vvardenfell/Morrowind, so if you are roleplaying a nightblade, battlemage, telvanni wizard or a dragonborn etc. The foreign and hostile surroundings in Skyrim, would not threaten a character that tough and resilient.
Dunmer culture is the most interesting in this whole series. thats why Morrowind was the best game and Vardenfell the best place to explore: the deep story, the ancestral worship and tombs. the exotic architecture. the great houses and their feuds with each other. they are alot like a mixture of Mongolian, Japanese, Mexican/Latino, and Caribbean cultures. Dunmer is the best race to build a vampire lord with too (fire resistance)
Right there with you, daesohn
I main as a Dunmer,
Born from the the Mountain that breed this flame throughout my body to which I feel no pain.
The shadows are my friends.
Call me an Ashlander and I'll show you why.
For the Dark Elves time has now arrived!
Do not pray for an easy life, instead pray for the strength to endure a difficult one. - Bruce Lee
The Dunmer are my favorite non-human race. I am quite attuned to hardship, so I woud do well as a Dunmer in the 4th era.
"If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best." I have the feeling the Dunmer are on their way back.
Also, if you think worshipping Azura ain't worth it, I can't relate. :)
Dunmer: worships Boethiah and Mephala.
Also Dunmer: Consider Malacath evil.
Great logic.
Well Malacath is just Boethias Turd. So really, would you warship shit?
When you're evil (Morag Tong, betrayal of Neravar, enslaving of cultures, etc.), what is typically considered good is against your values.
By Malacath's toenails
lojik
Yes, 100% worth it, not only because of the long life span but magic ! I think it's far too overlook in terms of how awesome your life gets. You control fire, frost and lighting! You can spawn servants out of thin air! You can use telekinesis, you can detect the presence of other living beings around you, you can create balls of light, you can heal basically any wounds on you or an ally. You can make your skin tough as stone, you can breathe underwater. You can make weapons appear out of thin air too, so you never have to carry any of them around. If you're talented, you can also manipulate wind! And that's not even mentioning the whole branch of Illusion magic, making you control the minds of people and animals as you choose, or just making you invisible.
Any race that favours magic is entirely worth it.
Booooooring magic
Great series! Here's an idea for another series. Try a few videos on the horror elements in tes games. Starting with tes takes on classical monsters like vamps, werewolves, witches, skeletons; and contrast it with the real world or cinema history/mythology.
This could be interesting!
Why did the dark elf fail the test?
Because he was DUNMER than everyone else. XD
I'll leave now...
man that's so terrible.🤣
James Pacheco dumb joke, even dumber profile pic
N'wah!
Fucking n’wah.
Is it bad that Jar'claw appreciated this?
Wow, waking up in Tamriel as a Dark Elf (Dunmer) would be a dream come true! Having delved into the rich lore and history of the Dunmer through Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, I feel like I'd seamlessly adapt to their way of life. From navigating the ashlands to embracing the unique culture, I can't help but imagine the exciting adventures that await. Thriving as a Dark Elf in Tamriel would be an epic journey.
BTW it is good if you want to be a vampire because the dark elf has 50% fire resisters
I'm on my way to Solitude to join the Legion, a united Empire is better for everyone.
👍
"I want to be on the right side."
Those Dunmer soldiers got it right.
I was born and raised in Skyrim, but the Nords treat us like dirt.
The best way to gain a Nords' respect is through hard work
I love the idea of the Dunmer, they are my go to mer. Life so close to the giant ash spewing mount would be harsh, I think I could live with the outsider judgement on travels though.
What Skyrim is lacking is a lore cinematic introduction to what every race is doing/fighting for before the game begins.
Dunmer is worth it if you are also a Vampire/Vampire Lord, +50% Fire Resist from Race Bonus is nullifying the Fire Weakness of Vampires
Yes if you are a wizard or a spellsword/battlemage that uses conjuration, otherwise the best thing is to get 100 percent spell absorption with first taking the necromage perk as a vampire, and after that taking the atronach perk and standing stone.
So basically betraying your entire culture and its beliefs.
@@benjaminharmon6541 how would that betray their culture?
Look, free vampire dust for me.
Fuck that lol, Dunmer for life. Even in the 4th era...we will rise again.
Skyrim is for the Nords!
We will build a wall between us and Morrowind!
And the Dark Elves will pay for it!
Bad Dragonite Ulfric Trump
I'm a dark elf and joined storm cloaks just Cuz I can, not all dark elves are bad, I risk my life in battle for your people to make Nords not think they are more superior then dark elves but rather equal
That's right i just used the N word.
N'wah n'wah n'wah
You fool. Morrowind legalized leviatation magic and they’ll just fly over
Dogeman2000 The Dunmer in the Grey Quarter live in squaller by choice - they fail to contribute to the prosperity of Skyrim and the stormcloaks, and fail to integrate into society. They’ve grown soft, and become n’wah themselves.
A true Dunmer would relish the chance to take the fight to the Empire which abandoned them.
Slavery was banned before the Oblivion crisis.
The Argonians were defeated by House Redoran. The East Empire Trading map and the Occulory map from the College questline shows that the border is the same. The East Empire trading map shows that Tear is still around and is doing trade. The map is backed by dialogue with Erikur.
House Redoran killed the Argonians that attempted to kill the Dunmer of Raven Rock.
Vvardenfell has been rebuilt according to dialogue with Neloth, Cindiri Arano and the book, the Red Year. Also according to Cindiri, Mournhold has been rebuilt.
Part of Vvardenfell has been rebuilt, but far from the entire province.
And even if Vvardenfell is still under reconstruction the new capital, Blacklight, on the coast of the mainland grew exponentially. Any dialogue referring to it describes it as a grand city.
@@smithtwentytwo3593 That's because Blacklight wasn't harmed by any of the recent troubles in the province.
@@dutchpatriot17 Yup, yup! Let's hear it for our boys in bone(mold)!
@@smithtwentytwo3593 Pah, I spit on the Redoran.
I just finished my first dunmer playthrough and it's my favorite race for sure because of the great magic skills as well as being such a unique race in the elder scrolls games. The battlemage like play style is my favorite type of playthrough I've done it's truly the best of both roles of being a mage as well as a swordsman.
I really love playing Dunmer especially because of their violent nature. Outside of Windhelm in Skyrim they seem fairly well respected
Dunmers are my second favourite race. So if I could not be a khajiit, definitely a dunmer.
But imagine being a khajiit! I could be a spy Alfiq infiltrating homes as a house cat, or be a gargantuan senche-raht devouring my foes, or a cathay travelling with the merchants caravans, or a giant cathay-raht making lots of money working as a bodyguard of a noble nord/high elf. The possibilities would be so amazing, no matter which of the 16 breeds of khajiit I were born!
And woth moon suger if ur in elswyr you can change forms
BRO I SWEAR, YOU ONLY UPLOAD WHENEVER I PLAY OBLIVION OR SKYRIM WTF
ChuckThemClouds Nah it ain’t a night for me
I keep trying to put the game down, AND HE KEEPS MAKING ME PLAY IT AGAIN!!!
(In sad voice) it's glorious......
Thats how you summon their spirit
KEEP PLAYING THEN,IDIOT! GO GO GO DO A FRIKIN SPEEDRUN!
I love how you guys are 3 hours behind me in time zone because you always upload just as i get home from work and boot up Skyrim :)
I’ve had roughly the same dark elf since Morrowind (as close in appearance I could get in all games and all have the same name “Datharyn Dilmvani”) because I like the idea that my immortal nerevarine is the hero to every story in the elder scrolls 😂
Playing a character? I AM THE DRAGONBORN!!!
*dragonporn
@Human Resources i know right? Im so original, usong one of fudgemuppets slip ups as a joke.
Dunmer is the best mer!
Praise be to the Reclaimations and their three-fold virtues of Mercy, Mystery, and Mastery!
My dunmer worships Hermaeus Mora. Boethia, and Nocturnal.
This has to be my favorite race aesthetically speaking. When I play, it's either a Dunmer, Breton, or Khajit
Then again, as a Dunmer, I tend to strive to master all schools of magic, and when available I try to join the Telvanni.
I'm similar. I always play as a Khajiit, though I'll play one of the Elven races (including Orsimer) or as an Argonian if I wanna twist it up a little. I strangely don't enjoy the human races.
@@phobiawitch835 i can roleplay as human irl. ;3
I rather play as some thing exotic in the game. But for the most part the alien culture of the Dunmer is really appealing. I'm extremely disapointed were getting yet another human expansion with the next Elderscrolls. We did the Imperials in Oblivion, the Nords in Skyrim, and now the Redguard. Yay...
As an aside I'm probably not buying it given Bethesda's recent track record. The races, skills, spells, equipment will all have to be bought seperate from the base game probably.
I would say there's never been a better time to be one! The time is perfect for attaining enlightenment! Just keep faith in the True Tribunal, and remember that this is all part of destiny!
In 4th era its worth it even more than it was worth it in the previous eras because Dunmer achieve enlightenment through facing adversities of life, and what other era is full of challenges and difficulties for the Dunmer other than the 4th era?
For a dunmer, the more it sucks, the more you progress to Chim. So 4th era dunmer is perfect.
Tho i'd sacrifice a pinky toe to live in Vvardenfel as a dunmer IRL. I absolutely love the architecture, the landscape, and the culture. plus the Dark Elves just look, talk, act, and just are cool
Picked a Dark elf my very first time playing oblivion back in 2008..They looked the coolest, can’t wait to see how they look in ES6.
Same!
Scott, you said yourself that the dunmer achieve chim through suffering. The whole psijic endeavor. How could you not want to be a dunmer in a time when it’s easiest to achieve chim?
I’ve been a dark elf for about 3 years named Darkstar. God 3 years man. Like at least once a week playing in the past month or two. Guess where I’m going after this lol
Personally i would probably pick kahjitt or Dummer. I could worship my three favourite daedra and become and amazing battle mage skilled in sneak and all schools of magic. Maybe even become a high ranking Morag tong assasin.
FudgeMuppet I think you should make is it worth it to be race videos on non playable races such as dremora/ lesser deadra, akaviri, snow elves ect
I really hope eventually the Falmer and Dwemer somehow eventually come back in later games. For example the Dwemer could be in a similar situation as Alduin and been thrust forward in time, or a group of Falmer could be hidden somewhere blessed by Audi-El and protected by from the Nords. Saying that the Dwemer as a culture are way too overpowered with their technology and the abilities they possess, the Falmer make much more sense for a return
Scotland Countryball Talking of the Dwemer, maybe they built some kind of insane technology and they never really disappeared they just are hidden from the outside world, what if they are deeper underground or made it to where the entrance to there world is invisible and only Dwemer can get to it?
Finally the superior race being honoured 👑🙏
PREACH
I'm not a n'wah so I'm choosing dunmer. Life is rough wherever you go and the dunmer are built to thrive in it.
Surely this isn’t the last episode, this format can be recycled over and over
Loreshelter A) a summary video in which they recap and the FM creators decide which races they’d pick. Also B) another one with some of the non-playable races like Akavir stuff. And lastly C) the whole series could be redone with the “4th era born in their homeland only” restriction removed. Plenty of viable content.
Oh, and a really fun one I think they oughta do next, I hope FudgeMuppet notices: now that we know what races to pick, tell us what it’d be like to live in various regions! Where would you wanna live? Where would be safe or allow unique opportunities? Etc
Loreshelter like all Bethesda games
And will be.
@KerChing ' Is being a Hist being worth it?
The dunmer are one of my favorite races probably because of TES morrowind. Role playing is perfect. And just nostalgia. Definitely worth it for me
I though Wood Elves are the only race everyone plays since every build brings you back to sneak archer.
5am Scott is on the grind, pls never stop ur the content I need
Dunmer: *Worships Daedras*
Me: Great, chees-
Dunmer: *Doesn't worship Sheogorath*
Me:... I demand a race change!!
Daedra is already plural. The singular is Daedroth.
@@angela_merkeI I feel so ashamed of calling myself a lore master and not even knowing that. Guess I'll have to go back to Master Drew's classes again. Thanks for the information fellow scholar.
@@angela_merkeI Yah, sort of. You can just use Daedra like you would use the word people, while Daedroth does mean singular Daedra, it is also a specific species and most commonly used just for that.
You can be a khajiit and worship the mad cat without restrictions.
@@GonLizio9 Indeed, all you need is fur... And skooma.
Honestly the most peaceful province at this moment is probably High Rock. So I’m terms of peace and prosperity, being a Breton would be the best. But the Dunmer are so cool
I own oblivion and skyrim. I roleplay as a dark elf that is a member of the telvanni that after the events in oblivion I return to morriwind and used a spell to preserve my life until Azura needs me again. During the events of skyrim I hear Azura and listen to her telling me to go to skyrim but I'm captured by imperials and when I'm free I follow my destiny and save skyrim but also make a telvanni house (with a mod) in skyrim so that way the telvanni will have more power.
This series needs a round up video where they compare all the options and choose which races are the worst ones and which ones are the best ones
I would have been a Telvanni Wizard Traditionalist of Dunmer Culture that joined the Legion in Skyrim to make a Telvanni Tower at Lakeview Manor when the war ended. Yes that’s my Dragonborn canon.
In my head, that's what I want too.
if you live for so long being a dark elf could be cool, once red mountain chills out there is a lot of rebuilding to do and you could bring your whole race back to glory. I cant wait to see the state of morrowind in TeS 6 hopefully it didnt get worse for them in the story lol
1000% would choose high elf for the chance at joining the psijic order.
House Telvanni will rise again!
These troubling times have simply culled the weak from our house and forged us anew. As we overcome this adversity we will become stronger, more powerful than our ancestors who live under the prosperity of false gods!
Now I am going to make myself a pair of argonian skin boots.
For those beast were made to be walked on.
Yes! Yes Please!
Argonians are property.
Hippety poppety
Lizzards are property
I’d like some of those boots too please! And a coat of Khajit fur!
Meeting for drinks later in Tel Vos, we got all the sujamma and conjured women we could ever want
Hey! My favorite elven race! Uploaded on my birthday of all days! Thank you! :D
You know what we want now: your personal worst to best of these in a lore context(and perhaps your favorite gameplay wise)
What do you mean we're not getting a "Skyrim: Being a Mud Crab WORTH IT?" video?
I always a dark elf. I think they look awesome and have a good effect of 50% fire resistance
Now this! This is a question I have had for a while!
I always always play as a dark elf first
If you play a Dunmer in a current timeline, it should be regardless of Nationality. Making a build out of them would fit the roles of Nightblades, Scouts, Assassins, Sorcerers, Battlemages, and Vampires (personally, my Dunmer is a Nightblade). As long as you build the character specifically, it would feel just right.
Finally, the video I''ve been waiting for for about a month.
Being the Race of the almighty Indoril Nerevar is always worth it. Enough said.
Indoril Nerevar was Chimer
Ailius shhhhhhh the youngins don’t know that.
Nooo i didnt want it to end!! I love these videos!!
after watching this playlist I'm glad I always pick a Breton
Proud Dunmer here, always struggling has been my lot irl too, it fits, and being a Dunmer is worth it you N'wah! Legit I try very hard not to cry tears of Joy when I am in Solsthiem, and hear that theme, the sound of Dusty, the last known living Silt Strider, seeing the great Mushroom Tower of Tel Mithryn, and of course, my own home, Severin Manor
This guy knows!
It’s always 3:30 in the morning whenever fudgemuppet uploads and that’s perfect because I never sleep due to my Skyrim playthrough😂
This video gave me an idea to play an Eilistree character in not only Skyrim but Morowind and Oblivion as well.
Dunmer is the only class that I ever play as and Iove how diverse they can be as far as builds.
Except warrior based classes, the Dunmer do not have the physical strength to pull it off. Compare them to nords and orcs especially, they will have no trouble carrying battle axes and heavy armor. The dunmer however or the best assassins/thieves and mages, spellswords and nightblades etc.
The passive fire resistance really helps with dragons early on!
One of my characters is a female vampire Dunmer. The 50% resistance to fire greatly reduces the weakness to fire when becoming a vampire.
If going Vamp, the Altmer or Dunmer make it so crash!
It's MA BOIZ! Been waiting so long for this one. Dunmer for life!
Boethiah is disappointed by your lack of resolve, Scott. When the Dunmer have overcome the challenges of our land, we shall be all the stronger for it! And then you and all the lesser races shall tremble at our coming.
In regards to the Argonians invading Raven Rock, I think there should have been a quest in The DragonBorn DLC which lets you choose to either help Argonians slaughter some Dark elves or defend the Dark elves against the Argonians
I doubt these argonians would even consider asking a stranger for help since it's crystal clear that they're alligned with An-Xileel. And you must know that they're no better than Thalmor, let alone their suppressors.
Longest living race on Tamriel? Good food? Slave economy? Seadra looking out for you? Can summon ancestors? Why not!
Worth it or not, I'm a very proud Dunmer of house Telvanni.
Wouldn't want to be anything else.
The dark elves, even with all their faults are the most interesting and exciting race in The Elder Scrolls.
One of the cooler looking ones too. There are a few throughout Skyrim that are quite good looking and their women seem to treat you well regardless of what race you are.
@@LadyCoyKoi As an old school Drizzt fan I do love 'proper' dark elves. Being able to wield two scimitars in Skyrim was amazing.
With that schedule I wonder if the Fudgemuppet crew gets any sleep at this point. Thanks for the content👍👍 hope you guys are doing great!
I'm sure they do since they work out constantly. I'm sure they are grateful to you and the other fans for worrying though.
No sleep they don’t need sleep they need answers
Maybe they are sniffing cocaine, that makes you stay awake for 2-3 days.
If the dragon born dlc didn't exist,I wouldn't play a dark elf, but it's just so cool going to Solstheim (sorry for butchering that) and seeing all my fellow Dunmer.
Tbh I want a elder scrolls game where you can legit become the emperor or high king depending on the whether you want to united just your characters people or all of the places in the elder scrolls then I would have the dunmer crusade to unite them and reclaim/rebuild morrowwind and take abit of skyrim to hold as I push for peace throughout my lands
They are so worth it! Dark elves are badass!!!
Is being a dark elf worth it? Only if you wanna be Palpatine.
AND WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE PALPATINE?
Role playing as a fanatic of the psijic endeavour is a great way to justify being a “sith” like character and it’s a lot of fun from a role playing perspective. Your ambition and lust for power outweighs your conscience...
I love the dunmer, my main will always be one. And I’m probably biased too but me too would pick this race. Although I must admit that I would indeed prefer to live in the time of the tribunal. Living in Vvardenfell under the protection of Vivec seems more pleasant.
This was hands down my favourite series you guys have done. Every video was thorough and enjoyable! I just wish there was another 10 races for you guys to cover to keep them going haha.
Would be cool if you did a, is it worth it for worshipping the daedra and aedra
Lol i chose to play as a dark elf because i thought it looked the coolest
Fudgemuppet: "Is being a dunmer in the 4th era worth it?"
Me: "Hahahahaha! Oh, you were serious? Hahahaha!"
I mean ya it's worth it sure everyone hates you for literally no reason but you get a badass built in fire cloak so.....
@@recklessabandon5678 No reason? I'm gonna go ahead and assume you don't know much if anything about the lore. The Dunmer deserve every bit of hate they get.
As for it being worth it, no, it's not at all. If you're living in Morrowind you're living in what is essentially a post-apocolypict wasteland where life is a living hell for you. If you live anywhere else you're discriminated against and at best seen as an outsider and at worst seen as a total pariah. A slight immunity to heat isn't worth that sort of life.
@@recklessabandon5678 yeah sure. No one hates you for your tendency to enslave others. No one hates you for your xenophobic attitude. No one hates you for being part of the cause why we have no Dwemer!
What about a Khajiit? I know they said traveling in Tamriel would be tough, but Elsweyr in the 2nd Era, despite the dragons and rebellion against the Usurper queen, seems pretty great if you were that race. I doubt much changed during the 4th era.
@@dr4g0nitedive29 I mean there's some pretty thick tension between the two kingdoms of Elsweyr in the 4th era. It was full blown civil war at one point but I believe under the Aldmeri Dominion the war has stopped and now the two sides are just sorta pissy toward one another. The Khajiit and Argonians have also historically been at constant odds with one another over the lands between Black Marsh and Elsweyr, and with the An-Xileel ruling Black Marsh I doubt that's changed (in fact it's likely gotten worse.) You also gotta remember that as a Khajiit in the 4th era you're likely not going to have a good time outside of Elsweyr so traveling would suck. We already know how bad Skyrim is and I can't imagine most other human controlled lands would be any better except maybe Cyrodiil. The Dominion controlled lands might be okay though. Overall I wouldn't go for it probably but it's far from the worst race to pick IMHO. Personally I'd probably go with Breton over any other race simply because their culture would be the easiest to acclimate to. I'd consider Altmer as well if not for the Thalmor and Dominion but with those in place that's a no-go. Bosmer wouldn't be bad either if I were to leave Valenwood but in Valenwood it'd suck pretty hard to have to adhere to the Green Pact.
The Dunmer are hands down my favorite fantasy dark elves from any lore. All the others just feel like they tried to make bad guy elves and it’s hard to imagine such long lived beings having the shallowness of spirit to intentionally do harm in the world. The dunmer on the other hand are their own thing entirely and it’s awesome
100% dark elf! They make the coolest looking vampires plus the 50% resistance to fire making dark elf vampires take regular damage from fire instead of being weak fire damage!
Skyrim and witcher 3 changed Story games forever! EPIC!

If you are asking is it worth it to be a Dunmer and don't think it is worth it now in the 4th era because their home has been volcanized like Pompeii and everyone technically hates them, then it still isn't worth it if it was during the time of the Tribunal. FOR ELVES HAVE LONG LIVES. You could have lived through the Tribunal at it's very best as but a babe and lived long enough to see Morrowind fall to ruin. We're not talking the lifespan of man, man lives are fleeting and they can know peace for that period of life they've lived; but an elf... an elf will most certainly live through good time as well as the bad. To know this and understand this, TRULY COMPREHEND THE GRAVITY of a long life you will start to fractionally grasp what it might be like and whether it truly is worth it or not. Me personally, I wouldn't be able to eat the ash yams... can't stand yams.
Worth it. power through suffering. You could rise higher then any dunmer ever if you save the race.
Being Dunmer is totally woth it. My favorite race since Oblivion. Best in combat and magic.
Great video! Keep up the amazing work FudgeMuppet.
I'd still be one, survival is apart of the challenge as a Dunmer. Extinction shall not come!
Final episode? Nooooooooooo! Seriously this has been such an enjoyable series, easily one of the best of the channel. Hats off to you guys.
