Am I the only one who actively hunts the Thalmor?
I am a proud Bosmer, and I consider myself accepting of all races, since I am technically an immigrant to Skyrim myself. I also know that not all Altmer are smug Thalmor sympathizers, but every Justiciar patrol and Thalmor soldier I have ever come across were... well... unpleasant to talk to, to put it nicely. They, however, are not very nice with their words, calling me a "pathetic excuse for an elf" on more than one occasion. I was repeatedly told this exact phrase one too many times, and the last Thalmor patrol to say this to me ended up wiped out, each with a crossbow bolt in their faces, so not even their miserable mothers can identify their corpses. In fact, I've been killing every Thalmor agent in this manner when I encounter them. Who else does this, or something similar to this?

I don't actively look for them, but if i happen across any on the roads, they're pretty much dead. Besides, the soldiers have good armor and such. Helpful during the early levels. Never cared for high elves anyway (fine as a race but usually haughty), even before they were blatantly arrogant Thalmor.

Yeah regardless of the side I pick in the war, I kill them. Every so often, I'll sneak into the Embassy and murder the whole lot of em..... then come back later on and do it again.

Yeah of course! I am hoping to kill enough where they start sending kill-teams after me, so far though they don't judge me as a big enough of a threat so their people will continue to die until they wise up. Then I will kill their best men they send after me.

I ALWAYS kill them. While other Legionnaires have to bite their lips and cringe at the idea of having to let the bastards go, I do what I want. If it causes a political incident, Tullius can just say "We beat the Stormcloaks and let him go off on his own. These are acts of his own volition." Meanwhile, I give him a high-five every time I visit Castle Dour. That'll teach them for tearing Elsweyr apart.

i collect their ears, and wear them as trophies. those knife eared mana dust worshippers have no place in this world. death to the dominon. death to the elven scum.

I think most players dislike the Thalmor and kill them every time you come across them. At least I do and I play High Elf.

Wait, who is that? (I'd suggest using the spoiler tag for anyone who doesn't want to know.) I've gone through that quest a bunch of times and only ever saw two unique Thalmor in the main party room, both of whom I never saw outside of that quest.

Hmmm... He must not show up if you haven't done that quest then. I'll have to try that some time and see what kind of a distraction he causes. I've always loved what Jarl Ravencrone does if you get her to do the distraction.

I kill the Thalmor patrols but also the Imperial patrols and free/share items with their prisoner if they have one.

Victory or Sovngarde!

Won't you get a bounty for killing Thalmor? And doesn't it count as murder?

I mean all these peace loving Thalmor want is to enforce the law of the land and hunt down criminal scum who break the law.

well, i aint actively hunting them down, but whenever i see Thalmor patrols, i piss them off and let them attack me. nothing is more fun for me than killing those arrogant Thalmor soldiers

If you get all of them in an isolated encounter, the bounty is withdrawn when you eliminate the last witness. The Nord prisoner won't rat you out, either. Whacking the Thalmor near the Markarth throne room has consequences, but you can get the bounty removed if you have earned the title of Thane of Markarth.

The female elf in the embassy is also in the peace talks quest in the main quest as well. Not sure where else she shows up.

For the sake of RP my character has a burning passion of "Not liking" them. Whenever he is not doing assignments for the Companions or the locals of Skyrim, being a wandering hunter of monsters, vampires and criminals, he tracks Thalmor patrols in order to save their prisoners.

You know, with all these Dominion forces being picked off by.... Um.... Everybody.... You'd think they'd go to official war with Skyrim.

They say the civil war is good for the Dominion, yet it seems they're losing more men than the Empire & Stormcloaks combined.
