Is anyone else here an English Literature major or at least familiar with H.G. Well's story The Time Machine? I am curious to see if anybody else has a similar idea that Bethesda created the Falmer as an ode to Wells as the Falmer's creation in the lore of The Elder Scrolls is very similar to Wells' Time Traveler's theorization of the creation of the Morlocks as both were forced underground to work and be enslaved by the upper class. Their physical description as well as their demeanor is even very similar. The Falmer have worm-colored skin, large blind reddish eyes, or at least what used to be eyes, they walk with a hunch like apes but don't use all fours, are a tad smaller than an average man, and so on, all of which is near exactly as how Wells descrobes the Morlocks of his story.
