Re: The Elder Scrolls XVI: Sworn to Carry Your Burdens
Lokir was actually the Dragonborn. Alduin was just there to make sure he got executed. Alduin put the power into you instead, and then everything from that point forward was Alduin covering your escape.
When Skyrim 2 comes out, we'll learn the deeper meaning behind Alduin's plan to have you "kill" him.

Re: The Elder Scrolls XVI: Sworn to Carry Your Burdens
My reasoning is, he doesn't know there is a dragonborn until the first dragon's soul gets sucked up, that is when he is aware of your presence. For Alduin, I think he attacked Helgen first a simpler reason. He was just plain PISSED!
Imagine you are Alduin, ruling all over Skyrim with your Dragon army, only to see a rebellion of these puny mortal races and when your first few dragon minions fail to kill the leaders at the throat of the world, you step in personally. After all, you're practically immortal being able to gobble up dead souls for sustenance, so you don't see them as a threat. Then they have the AUDACITY to create their own shout! And not just any shout, the Dragonrend shout, a shout that's sole purpose was to strip a dragon of its dragonhood, something that couldn't be comprehended by any dragon, and it was just used on him!
Okay, these humans have to die now! No more games! Wait, Is that an Elder Scroll? Oh crap! OH CRAP!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
*Poof* Where am I? Still at the throat of the world? But the battle is gone. The world looks different. Paarthanax! Get out of my way you traitor!
*Takes off*
*Surveys the area*
It's true! They took me out of time and those filthy mortal races decided to populate the world on their own instead of beneath their rightful place below my claws. Well, time to stoke fear into these mortals. And since I'm still an immortal dragon that can eat the souls of mortals, I obviously have nothing better to do to let out this unyielding rage against them for stealing my title, poisoning my land with their existence, and for using that Dragonrend shout on me! Oh look, there's a big settlement of them there if I ever saw one. All I had to do was fly south. Let me pop in and say hello and put the fear ofgodme back into them again.
*Lands on stone tower of Helgen looking down at the mortal ants*
"I'm Back Bitches!"
*Clouds and meteors start raining down*
*Chaos ensues*

Re: The Elder Scrolls XVI: Sworn to Carry Your Burdens
...It's bad that I can't tell if you're talking about Fallout 76 or Elder Scrolls Online.
Either way I'm thinking Bethesda needs to get more creative.

Re: The Elder Scrolls XVI: Sworn to Carry Your Burdens
Picked up Daggerfall: Unity again. Really enjoying that I stuck the Small Dungeons modifier on. I still have to wander and look for things, but it's a much smaller space to wander.

Re: The Elder Scrolls XVI: Sworn to Carry Your Burdens
Well, that was a bit of a shock. Microsoft has just paid $7.5 billion to buy Zenimax Media (owners of Bethesda), so they now have control of both the Elder Scrolls and Fallout franchises:

Probably won't make a huge difference to anyone who plays the game on PC, of course, but will be interesting to see where this goes.

Re: The Elder Scrolls XVI: Sworn to Carry Your Burdens
Oh, good, someone else commented on this thread so I don't have to double-post to talk about Morrowind.
Cana, the Eternal Champion (I even named her class Eternal Champion, so people will address me as that in the text) has been in Vvardenfell for a while now. She's about to become Archmaster of House Redoran, and it's mostly her skills that are keeping her from becoming Archmage... duties keep her from running the Fighter's Guild, because her Blunt Weapon is 100.
I'm slowly climbing out of the "Enchantment is better for everything" stage... my skills are getting better, and I'm throwing stupid amounts of money into training. I'm still using a dwarven mace ("Snowy Crown", which throws in some frost damage) and adamantine armor, but have upgraded to a glass shield (which now gives me permanent night-eye, because I was tired of the dark dungeons). I need to get back to the main quest, but I might also do Tribunal... I beat Bloodmoon the first time I played it, but I never did go to Tribunal.The Cranky Gamer

Re: The Elder Scrolls XVI: Sworn to Carry Your Burdens
And the Thieves? It makes me happy to know someone is playing Morrowind again. Thank you.
Sadly, Microsoft is much too fond of money for that. Once you've designed the interface to work across multiple platforms (and that will have been the first thing to happen), it takes virtually no work to translate your game to other platforms, so proceeds from them are basically Free Money.
A much scarier prospect is that they might go the SimCity route and create an online-only game. ES76, anyone?Last edited by veti; 2020-09-21 at 02:18 PM.

Re: The Elder Scrolls XVI: Sworn to Carry Your Burdens
I've stalled out a bit on the Thieves Guild... I just haven't gone to Vivec to track them down and work there, yet. I did take over the Fighter's Guild last night, though. With enough Persuasion, you can pretty easily get Eydis, Sjoring, and the Orc in Vivec to attack you... though I kind of wish I'd laundered some of my more expensive gear through him, first. I have a truly unreasonable amount of Ebony gear, and the best solution I've found is the fighter's guild smith in Balmora, where I can sell things to him, train for a while, sell some of it back, train for a while more, sell more back. Eventually, he resets, and I can sell another expensive piece to him, equalizing by buying every Vivec-damned thing he has.

You can also alternate between taunting and bribing them. They'll have all your money on them when you're... Ah, done talking.

“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”
