Oh god... Not the rise of the Imgas! They will kill us with their shaved baboon behinds and fancy capes!
Anyways this has been a very interesting thread, I just read it all. My take is that both sides are wrong and right at the same time, and neither deserved what they got.
It was wrong that the Altmer were genocidally killed with the Numudium. Talos not being a divine is their version of the truth, if the Nords believe he is a divine, let them. Whether he is or is not (I believe he is not), does not change anything. Although the Altmer are correct, they do not have the right to persecute those certain Nords.

I think so too, but this is a game, your character is not you but a seperate personality belonging to a specific race, being raised in a specific culture. If you where to give him the same opinion on things like you he would be some kind of very weird TES character.
