This looks absolutely amazing... Mehrunes Dagon and Sotha Sil... a death cult preaching about the end-of-times... perhaps mysteriously tied to Dagon's own Mythic Dawn?
Everything I have seen so far from this is precisely the kind of thing I've wanted out of the Tribunal main quest.
As for those who say Sotha Sil should die... why?
He's more machine than man now, anyways... even without his supposedly divine powers he could probably live on for centuries if not millennia. Stripped of his powers, he's little more than a mad clockmaker trapped in a city of metal gears. To leave his sanctuary would be to show all of Nirn his mortality and frailness. Like Vivec and Almalexia, isolation from the public is the only way to keep up appearances.
Besides, even if Sotha Sil is dead... nobody would believe it. Nobody believes Vivec or Almalexia can die either.
So why should killing Sotha Sil off be 'mandatory' as a part of the Quest? If this is a re-imagining of the Tribunal main quest, as Antares has said, then let us let his vision of Morrowind be the one which shows through... not our preconceived notions of what it ought to be. Tribunal did the 'Divine Betrayal' plot already. For me... it left nothing but a bitter taste in my mouth. After all, my character is supposed to be the reincarnation of Nerevar. My prophetic [censored] just came back from the DEAD, saved Morrowind, and put an end (or assured the reign of) Dagoth Ur!
Almalexia... my wife from a former life... the very woman who helped betray me and very possibly had me murdered... has had lifetimes to reflect upon her actions. She has witnessed my slaying of a God... and the salvation of Vvardenfell. Mad Goddess or not... I am a force to be reckoned with... and she would have to be divinely -stupid- to actually think she could slay me. Yet she does so... and is summarily defeated with -ease-.
That isn't satisfying. That's lame.
So keep up the epic work, Antares. And do your own thing... tell the story the way -you- want it to be told. Either we'll love it, or we won't... but it's guaranteed to be of superb quality no matter what..
