If anybody could learn the Falmer language I would skip the Hard Answers quest every time lol. Mercer was going to kill probably going to kill you anyway I meant how did she save you when you could kill Mercer, resurrect him, kill him again etc as many times you like? She saved Mercer by paralysing the very dude who would have pwned him than dragged that dude out. I don't care what Karliah says, actions speak louder than words.

Also, the poison working and not being able to learn Falmer language is a problem with the limitations in gameplay mechanics, not lore accurate.

If it played out as it should, lorewise, it would be like: Karliah shoots vampiric LDB, arrow bounces off daedric armor. LDB is distracted, Mercer trys to backstab him and fails horribly as his belly is opened by a sword, Karliah does nothing and the LDB is just confused.

Also, I still do not have a very high opinion of Gallus. He is a thief and he knows what a thief is, yet he trusted Mercer and everyone else? Don't these jobs require you to trust only yourself??
