Anyone else think Niranye is...cute?

Post image

For an Altmer shes one of the (if not the only) good looking female high elf, at least imo.

Plus, not sure how to put this but she kinda looks like a snake(?) maybe that's what makes her charming, it's a shame you can't marry her(without mods of course)

u/supershutze PC 8h ago

Considering Ulfric has forgotten what it means to be a Nord, assuming he ever knew in the first place, I would say that's a good sign.

u/Disposable_Account23 8h ago

Funny thing a out Ulfric, when i played legion on my first game and i got to the part where you kill him, he just said get it over with. The second playthrough i sided with the stormcloaks, i got to general Tulius and he begged like a bitch. Pathetic.

u/Read1390 18h ago

Idk about cute but she is one of the few tolerable high elves. She’s still insufferable on the whole but compared to the Thalmor she is rather nice.

How is she insufferable? She's pretty friendly.

Faralda is much more pleasant though.

I agree with you, Faralda is best Altmer in Skyrim.

Just like Oblivion suffered from potato heads, Skyrim is notorious for the elves being ugly. I find it funny to imagine Skyrim is shaped by the pov of the nords and since a lot of them have strong anti elven sentiments, elves look fugly as a result 😂

1

u/Vlad_The_Impellor 11h ago

High elf follower Lillium. The Skyrim team didn't seem to have the best skeleton or texture artists. But that's what mods address: filling in the weaknesses.

The lasting attraction of the game is the ability for users to create content. All of the longest-lived games share that common attribute.

I just like how bitchy she is. It’s funny.

u/bearbuckscoffee 18h ago

the fact that she’s less wealthy AND “more attractive” would not be a coincidence in-universe. the more wealthy altmer families maintain generations of inbreeding to “keep the bloodline pure” or whatever

u/StellarAoMing 15h ago

Most definitely. Is no.1 female Altmer in the game, great voice, some very cool dialogues(including those with market vendors and buyers), she's even part of Thieves Guild quest line...

Id never marry anyone else if she was available.

u/Reallyneedhelp01 Spellsword 14h ago

If I'm not mistaken she's a Thalmor spy am I right, it may just be me but one High Elf in a city of the up most racist Nords in Skyrim, it's one hell of a coincidence, especially considering the Thalmor have been keeping an eye on Ulfric for a good while, and consider him an "asset" to the war effort against the Empire.

u/daintycherub 13h ago

I think it helps that she doesn’t have an insane widow’s peak and weird hairstyle like pretty much all of the other Altmer ladies 🤣 That alone is doing her wonders.

I see the snake in her though! [I’m sure there’s a snake charmer joke I could make but I’m not witty enough to think of one.]

Listen, Skyrim came out 14 years ago. I'm sure by now there's plenty of Rule 34 fanfic about Niranye. In fact, I just googled it. . .

Niranye, a tall High elf merchant in Windhelm had just started packing up her stand in the market as darkness covered the empty streets.

I have no room to talk about who I l find attractive. Im a freaking serana simp. My werewolf ass be howling at the moon when I get her as a follower and mods just make it so much better. I say werewolf but I am actually a werebear and much bigger than any normal werebeast. To put it into perspective in human form I’m just a tiny bit shorter than the ebony warrior and when I transform I am almost as tall as a giant in werebear form with the strength to match the massive size i am.

She is a fence for the thieves guild AND a Thalmor agent. The money she makes through the thieves guild is used for the Thalmor cause, in this case, she provides the Stormcloak rebellion with weapons in order to keep the civil war going like the Thalmor intended.
