About
Oh, I guess I should introduce myself. As you can tell, I am cosplaying as Mercer Frey from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. He is my favorite NPC in the game. If you want to know why I may post a little rant for you to read explaining why. As for now, I shall leave the About Me section as is since I do not want it to look crowded.
By the way, yes, my friend and I are responsible for all of the Mercer Frey pics on photobucket.com except for one.
Why I Like Mercer Far More Than Karliah
1. Mercer never had his Nightingale Powers taken away when Nocturnal stripped Karliah of being a Nightingale entirely.
2. Nocturnal tells Karliah to never make the same "mistake" again while she says nothing bad about Mercer.
3. When asking about Gallus. Mercer goes into full detail and every emotion shows on his face. Karliah is as stiff as stone and gets pissy if you ask her too many questions, especially on her motives.
4. KARLIAH TRIED TO CRIPPLE THE THIEVES GUILD AND NEARLY SUCCEDED!! She bought Goldenglow which was practically the guild's only source flow thanks to a deal between them and Maven. Plus, the guild, while under Mercer, experienced their glory days of near infinite wealth, as stated by Vipir. Vekel, and Delvin
5. Of course Mercer is going to be a bossy old crank since no one is thankful for anything he does, and for the past decade, the guild has nearly died.
6. Why would Mercer say "Shadows Take Me!" when he is dying if he had pissed of Nocturnal and killed Gallus?
7. The journal that Enthir translates sounds nothing like how Gallus spoke, and the way Mercer was portrayed acting in it sounds nothing like him. Also, really? Maul of all people who admits not being good enough to join the TG fully is able to track a master thief (Mercer) without him knowing?
8.Nocturnal doesnt give a s**t if you take her key. She pretty much has let it go around freely for centuries from at least the time of the Second Era.
9. Gallus tells you "Good luck, Nightingale!" if you decide to run off with the key instead of returning it to the Sepulcher.
10. Gallus sounds spiteful when telling Karliah his farewells to her.
11. Perhaps the most important thing. KARLIAH SHOT YOU! Yes, Mercer stabs you later, but his huge spill sounds morel ike he was making you see him as a villain and trying to catch Karliah off guard so he could run away. I seriously doubt that arrow was to save your life. Also, everytime I wake up outside of Snow Veil, Karliah is putting away a dagger. No matter who you like better, Mercer or Karliah, Bethesda wanting you to be suspicious of both and not trusting of either. Come on, they are thieves!!
12. Why would Mercer head inland if he was going to run off with the key when he was at both the Cyrrodil and Morrowind borders? It looked like he was going to return it.
13. Mercer is actually being pretty nice in Irkngthand and funny too when he has "One step ahead. -Mercer-" carved into a room and leaves you both an upgraded version of the weapon you use most, and Detect Life Scrolls.
14. The funniest one to me. Why would Mercer leave his plans anywhere? Especially in a room in his house, with traps set up that not even he can turn off?
