i have to wonder though, if the Thalmor actually succeed in their (*cough* insane *cough*) plans. They'll pretty much be finishing what Mehrunes Dagon started.

Kill the humans, shut down the towers (not that they can actually do that since the Adamantine towe is controlled by the Convention), and ascend to godhood, right?

In actually, they'll just be breaking the structure of Mundus and I think we all know what happens when someone does that. (Oblivion Crisis anyone?)

I'm tempted to let them go through with their plans just to see their reactions when it all goes terribly wrong.

BUT, to answer the original question: it's entirely based on POV. To the Thalmor and the rest of the Dominion, I'm sure that killing their ancestoral enemies and becoming gods sounds like a great idea. To everyone else, it would probably be less so. Does that make sense?
