I've been reading alot about the serperate continent of Akavir and the four races on it. One of the races are the Ka Po' Tun.They are catlike just like the Khajit but they are all trying to turn into dragons which there leader has already done. Apparently he is the most powerful dragon on Nirn. right now the Ka Po' Tun are fighting the Tsaesci, another race on Akavir. But they say that once they defeat the Tsaesci that they plan on invading tamriel. Maybe the main story for The elder scrolls 5? What are your opinions?

It could happen. 200 years after TES:IV is a long time.

It'll probably happen eventually. I'd rather not see it, but we likely will. I don't see it coming in the next game though.

Not a bad theory, honestly.

Thanks
But i hope it does happen so that way will see new races and find out more about the other continents

"I'm the son of Julianos and Mohi-Titona, Queen of Akavir"

"Mother's coming for me in the dragon ships"

"These slugs crawling up my spine itch something fierce"


Ok well that third one isn't a reference to akaviri, but still, we've already had one crazy predict an upcoming game before. Given that Morrowind is kind of a mess now, perhaps Skyrim it's neighbor will be playing host.(With Morrowind likely already overrun if it's habitable again)

I forgot about those lines...

It is true that Bethesda did do a nice job of foreshadowing Oblivion in Morrowind (plenty of details that made no sense until you actually got the OB announcement)...

Maybe Skyrim will just be overrun with MW's refugees.

That's Solstheim, not an area of Skyrim. Though the nords of Thirsk seem to import mead from there.

I doubt it would be the subject of the next game; the status of the world following the Oblivion Crisis seems like the most obvious subject to turn to. I'm sure it would happen eventually, probably sooner than later, likely thanks almost entirely to people whining that they want more dragons and katanas.

This. It really would be hopelessly lame if they used an Akaviri invasion as a cheap plot device for the next game. It would show to me that they're only interested in making "epic" stories, and I would probably complain about Tes:V like many Morrowind fans complained about Oblivion. It's not going to happen, though, most likely. In another game, possibly.

What is wrong with "epic" stories? Isn't the whole point of an RPG to live through an "epic" story? When I pop OB, DA:O, Mass Effect, or any other RPG into my disc tray, I want an "epic" story. In fact, I think that was one of the major reasons I never liked OB main quest, it never made you feel important as Martin or Jauffrey.

More on topic: While I wouldn't mind an Akiviri invasion plotline, id'e much rather play something akin to Morrowind; the comming to power story of Morrowind is by far the best in the TES series. In Morrowind, I always felt I was the hero, not just some guy doing errands for the hero. :facepalm:

But Solthesiem, being a majorly Nordic land, have accepted the Dumner, surely this means the Nords want some peace between the races, and are willing to help the Dumner? Of coarse, there wouldn't be a huge amount of Dumner, because they're an endangered species now, even after 200 years. Myself, I think it'd be awesome to have some refugee Dumner around.


Everything. epic stories shouldn't be epic the whole way through. You say you like Morrowind's story? Morrowind was far from epic until the very very very end. I hated how within 10 minutes of playing Oblivion I was already saving a town from a Daedric invasion, and destroying an actual plane of Oblivion belonging to Mehrunes Dagon. Honestly, wtf? In Morrowind, your first real quest from the main quest was to get an item from a Dwmer ruin. And even before that, you where told to just join some guilds and make something of yourself. Morrowind started getting epic once you where talking to Vivec.

The Sload are often referred to as slug like.

like to dance?


i always thought about the akavir invasion possibility when i heard him refer to the "dragon ships"....it's a plot i wouldn't be opposed to...but i'm not really looking for too many more races in TES games... i feel like we have plenty of established races as it is.

Ive never thought of it that way. I suddenly feel like I should replay alot of Oblivion just to see if theres any material that could be a hint towards the future. Im not sure what Id think of an invasion in the next game though. As long as they did it properly I doubt Id mind, but I think its better if Akavir and its inhabitants remain shrouded in mystery for a bit longer. Afterall, we have a few provinces left to explore.

Because it would mean they disregard much more interesting story-telling potential in order to make yet another "OMG end of the world/invasion!" story. If they're going to make the main quest epic, then fine, do that, but not another saving the world story like Oblivion's. And handle it better than Oblivion's. As RellacFTW said, you were already a hero, almost straight away. Hell, you're a hero from the second quest. And even before the last missions in the questline, you were saving every town from Oblivion Gates. Don't get me wrong, I like being a hero, but I'd prefer it handled better, where you're not a hero from the start.

TESV: The Yellow Menace

While the civilized areas in Solstheim are filled with nords, but they're not the same as the ones in Skyrim. They have a much different belief system than mainstream nords, with Shor and Alduim being aspects of The Adversary and Anuiel being their All-Maker


Agreed. In DF, you were a pawn the whole game; never really a hero, though a very powerful warrior later on. In Morrowind, you don't become the hero till you are named late in the MQ. Before those portions, you are told to either deliver and explore places, learn the land, and keep a cover.

This. I mean we just had an incredibly cheesy Daedric invasion that has "generic fantasy demons from hell" written all over it. Let's take a break from these cinematic stories and return to something a bit more latent, like in Daggerfall and Morrowind. Besides, I think if you just threw Akavir into the game you would severely reduce the mystery and "coolness factor" of what is supposed to be an incredibly mysterious and isolated land.

What I think is very interesting is that not being the hero(as was the case in Oblivion) was requested by many Morrowind fans, like many other changes. Yet, those Morrowind fans then turned around and claimed to hate the new changes, which they requested. It seems people are always divided, but it would be nice if people actually decided what they want(or let the developers know exactly what you want changed, including details, not just saying that you want it changed to be something like ).

To read everything you need to know to prepare for the invasion visit the Imperial City Mages Guild.

I don't think they'll do that until there's a game set in a province on Tamriel's east coast. It would be a huge plot hole if the Akavari chose not to invade the currently devastated area that is Morrowind, but instead choose to sail past it and invade Skyrim.

I wouldn't mind seeing it eventually, but imo it couldn't work in a game not set on the east coast.

Fighting off an invasion sounds pretty mundane to me. Maybe if you were arrested under suspicion of espionage, but can't remember aanything becauuse you were supposed to be disposed of. Then you have to kill an akaviri naval commander or something before they could convince the dunmer of solstheim to revolt against the nords. Lol idk.

Heh, that's a good point.
