Back along I unintentionally created a new class of character for TES. My Dragonborn merely started off as a common sellsword, but once he found his true destiny and a cause he became something more akin a paladin type knight, only with dragon powers. So, as a result I started looking for classes of character that suited him best. Eventually I came across a class of dragon themed knight in D&D called a "http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Dracolyte", which is pretty much what Dragonborn is in most respects. But my character is more militaristic in nature rather than spiritual. He also has a very fanatical cause, the destruction of the Thalmor. So I created a cross between the two, a "dracolyte crusader". I've made them a cross between a crusader and a paladin, only with extreme connections to dragons.
Thing is, as with both crusaders and paladins they can be both good and evil. Now this is where I think things get really interesting. I was doing a write-up for the dracolyte crusader when I started to do the part on evil dracolyte crusaders. Well, it got me thinking. Where would these guys fit into TES? What would they get up to? I guessed they'd align themselves with and actively help evil dragons, right? Then it struck me...Alduin! "My god!" I thought, "Of course!" I then started thinking about evil dracolyte crusaders helping Alduin and the other evil dragons as my Dragonborn was trying to stop them! As a result I wrote a little bit into the dracolyte crusader write-up about rumors of at least one evil dracolyte crusader helping Alduin in his plans.
I'm now slowly developing plans to eventually either bring at least one into TES as a quest NPC, or maybe even to play as one in order to later save him as a quest character. Now comes the slightly tricky part. If I decide to do a playthrough as one, in what way could he possibly help Alduin? As the whole game is based on stopping him this could prove somewhat tricky, to help Alduin rather than try to destroy him. I have to point out that if I do do a playthrough then it will be in the same reality as my recent Dragonborn's reality, hence his obvious failure. His failure will be where I'll save the character for my Dragonborn to eventually confront in a quest. But that doesn't remove the question as to how to play him as a character who's actually helping Aldiun. Anyone got any ideas?
