By the way, preventing the player from using a Falmer helmet need not have been as strenuous and mind-boggling as assigning one of the imagespacemodifier items from the dropdown list. If that had really proven too difficult, all that needed doing was to refrain from checking the "Playable" checkbox in the bottom left of the various Falmer helmet forms - given that a helmet without visibility would have been unusable anyway. The fact that each of these forms had their "Playable" checkbox meticulously checked communicates that the whole Falmer blindness story is a red herring - probably to make the game a little less dull for mentally active players.

This may come as a surprise to some, but some of us play TES to do things other than constantly hacking and slashing everything that moves.
