Not quite as fun as running in as a Nord duel wielding axes and wearing nothing but a Talos medallion, but effective. However, you're unlikely to be able to permanently defile the embassy by sitting your unwashed butt on every piece of their furniture if you go this route.
Tips to anyone trying to do this: -you’ll have to wear the Hodded (not unhooded/standard) robes for it to work. -you can walk around freely but don’t linger/backtrack or they’ll attack -you have to pass a speech check with the guard to the solar or else he’ll (and everyone else will attack you). -when you enter the solar, they’ll see through your disguise instantly and attack (unless you get the guard to leave, wait until you’re not detected and then sneak enter)(have yet to try this so not fully sure)?
Made me to remember when i was trying to sneak in embassy while playing as 2 meter tall nord (player.setscale 1.07 iirc, pretty tall and max weight) wearing a hooded robe, lol Nice pfp btw
Really bro? The thalmor are easy. You can start by getting the lord stone to block some magic. High resistance to magic cancels half your problems trust me 😎
Dragonborn: "We have to conduct a performance review." Thalmor: "PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" Dragonborn: (In their mind) "What have these people gotten into?"
Different races can get further. High Elves can just walk through, then from there Dark and Wood Elves can get quite far, human races provided they don't get too close and finally Orcs, Khajits and Argonians can't do it at all.
Bro this is so funny my first playthrough ever was as an Altmer and I remember just walking through this part thinking this was just what you had to do 😂
I still remember this quest when I forgot to wear the robes. Robes inside are bugged iirc. Good thing there's a dragon attack and it roasted the Thalmor in the courtyard. Another playthrough, it's Durnehviir time.
I've never played as a High Elf, but I've gotten a taste for magic in my current playthrough and think I might. If it helps me do this stealthily, I'm in.
@@cubeb8845 is there a particular spell you have in mind? This comments section is full of things that never occurred to me. Like summoning a Dragon, lol.
@@BinaryJoe, I just like making a scene, lol. But I have a high elf mage character account, so I think I’ll try this way with her. I’ve been playing my dark elf account mostly, and she’s got all mage skills except restoration to 100, so I might try it with her too since 100 in illusion magic can get you through just about anything without a fight. I’ve had the most fun playing as a high elf and a Dunmer, but I think the Dunmer is my favorite, in spite of the nasty comments, lol. I don’t get treated nearly as bad as an elf as I did the one time I played a khajit. 😂 They’re horrible to the khajits, lol.
Wearing Imperial officer armour gets you surprisingly far as well. I did this as khajiit in an Ultimate Skyrim playthrough. Worked for rescuing what's his face Graymane from that Thalmor guarded prison as well
I dunno but in oldrim with USLEEP it works with this condition: side with the Imperials, ask gen. Tullius to get the pardon letter, then bring it to the Thalmors. Voila
Did this quest again 2 weeks ago and just blasted everyone with high destruction magic. It sucks you can't sneak in even if have high sneak or invisibility potions.
You can definitely sneak with invisibility (spell or potions) and for the Justiciar at the door, you can use a Paralysis potion as a non-lethal way to pass him.
I like that High Elf’s Beard! lol, when I was a Nord, they spotted me right away, but with a high elf was better! I tried with a Dark Elf and they commented on my height!
I hope in future elder scrolls they will add a transmute spell that can change your race without giving you racial bonuses, it would actually be lore accurate and there are a lot of possibilities with such mechanic since there are lots of organisations that employ specific races.
Same, there's a Aldmeri Dominion quest in ESO where you must use an illusion ring to pretend to be someone else for a mission like this, Razum-Dar becoming the queen and getting all 👀 with himself always cracks me up when i do it
Anyone who doesn't do this quest as a Breton or Nord using a no shout cooldown and shouting apart every single high elf at the embassy doesn't know what fun is
non altmer with justiciar robes let's you roam free as long as they don't get close. now try the robes. and a khajiit or an argonian. the result is hilarious XD try it
It’s quite crazy that there’s still such detail to this now what? 12 year old game 😂 I learned about this on accident when I was doing a recebe playthrough late last year.
U really see yourself so far up your own ass torturing other races for literally no reason other than they're not your race? Even evil has standards...
No it wasn’t. If it were released this decade it would be DLC sized with 20% of Skyrim content. They’ll sell it for 60 euros and people will still buy 😂
I remember doing this mission at level 25 and these guys hit hard. I said I'll come back later. At level 72 I went back to the Embassy and killed everyone with fire storm and blizzard. Yes I had to use TCL.
So that's why there was a pair of thalmor robes placed perfectly on top a table in that room across the hallway...I wanna try this but...I like collecting elven/glass armor/weapons, I got better stuff but thalmor stuff always looks shiny to me.
@Mabra I know that. This person probably didn’t, though (they seem to be rather clueless about most things in this game). Either way, they most definitely didn’t “forget” when they clearly didn’t intend to have them on in the first place.
This is literally the only role playing scenario in Skyrim that involves race checks I believe. I love this game but it’s not a good role playing game. More of an action rpg with perks.
In the very first game I forgot to let Malborn hide my equipment that I want to get inside and the whole task I had to sneak and fight with what I could find. I died about twenty times, but it was great fun
What sucks is it wouldn't have been that difficult to implement a system like this for each race. Wear the Faction clothing/armor and be ignored/accepted especially if your race matches up. Imperials, Stormcloaks, Al'Akir(sp?). Khajiit caravans could give you a discount if you're a cat, Dark Brotherhood has an extra few water-dungeon missions if you're an Argonian. Orc strongholds could have missions only available if you're an orc, etc.
In this mission you can do full stealth mission IF you high elf. If you not it wont. I heard some people said you can do that too with using other race but because skyrim bugged game in first place the thalmor instantly aggressive and you can't do stealth.
Nah, as cool as this looks, I'm more of a sneaky type player. Light armor, bow and arrow, a katana, invisibility potions and I have a couple of mods that add facemasks that I use to cover my face. I know there's no mechanic for it in game, but I roleplay the idea that covering my face conceals my identity. Though this is an interesting idea for a non-stealth playthrough.
The fun part is, when you play as a Argonian (i suppose its the same for khajiits) they are like "wait ! Is that a tail ??"
Its truly pathetic that Khajiit fight for a race that wants to see their entire species and world and moons wiped from existence.
youd think Khajiits might get farther than most because lore wise they allied with the thalmor sure due to trickery on the elves side but still they are close allys
@@drachthegooboi5761 they actually aren't that close ally unlike bosmer, they kinda like mercenaries to the Thalmor, the point of khajiit having pushed to the Thalmor side is to prevent them from supporting the empire
😮
You can also pretend to be thalmor by wearing the justiciar robes if you are not high elf but if you get close enough to them they will attack you.
Resllllly
and as a Khajiit or an Argonian, they spot your tail and attack you I believe
and as a redguard they will spot your "curved sword" and attak you i belive

Considering you can pretty much walk through every other main quest, the Thalnor Embassy was "relatively" tough.
@@MerlynMusicman Wait, can't you just walk through it? I'm pretty sure you're basically handed an invitation to the Embassy or something.

"Do you need any envelopes opened? Steak cut??

Thalmor: "PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!"
Dragonborn: (In their mind) "What have these people gotten into?"
This is the kind of detail I expect out of earlier Bethesda games but not Skyrim.
🌈🌈🌈⭐️The more you know lol

You: "Hey"
Them: "hey wait a minute. What the hell!

Head palm i was a high mage and I still jumped the fence 😅 the more u know
