What Happens if you Pretend to be a Thalmor at the Thalmor Embassy

What Happens if you Pretend to be a Thalmor at the Thalmor Embassy in Skyrim

[kytsurioqueenston]

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 ??"

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.

the funniest thing is that he says "must be new around here" while unsheathing his weapon, as if a real thalmor mage wouldn't obliterate him right then and there for that simple sign of disrespect

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)?

I’m noticing a disturbing lack of thalmor slaughter, I need to cleanse my palette now

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.

This totally justifies another playthrough

I’ve always loved how the exterior of the Thalmor Embassy looks like something you’d see on a Christmas card

Meanwhile knight players with heavy armor:

“I’m sorry, did you mean full unsupressed assault?”

If you do the same trick as a Wood Elf they will spot you with a comment "Seems too short..." LOL

Twelve years, more than 900 hours of gameplay and I still don't know everything in this game

00:46 He's so eager to help you that he took out his knife.

I tried it as an Imperial it worked for a few seconds but they quickly caught on

[Amadeus]

Dragonborn: "We have to conduct a performance review."
Thalmor: "PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!"
Dragonborn: (In their mind) "What have these people gotten into?"

[dundabird]

Gotta be the only example of a disguise making sense in Skyrim. Odd design decision.

I’ve spent so long trying to survive this quest and bro is just breezing through it 💀

[lremipsum]

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.

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

[TheOneAndOnlyMal]

Funny thing is, the game only checks if you have on ONE piece of Thalmor armor equipped for this. I walked in there once just wearing elven boots, and they didn't even bat an eye.

This is the kind of detail I expect out of earlier Bethesda games but not Skyrim.
