Huge Plot Hole In Mainquest

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 3:52 pm

Alright, in all fairness I can't be too critical on Bethesda, because a long storyline is always important for books, movies, and of course video games. An example of this happening elsewhere, would be when the heroes of Lord of the Rings decide to fly back on eagles, in an extremely short amount of time, proving how easily they could have achieved victory in many less years, while saving the lives of thousands of people, dwarves, elves, hobbits, orcs, etc. Anyways, on the topic of Skyrim and its major plot hole, I need ask you one question. If Dovahkiin, and all of the inhabitants were so scared to death of Alduin, why oh why didn't they just accumulate 7 dragon balls, and wish him away? =/

Well in Lord of the Rings if they would fly on the back of the Eagles Sauron's strength would just kill them instantly because he simply focusses all his strength on them.
Not to mention that the Nazgul are waiting at the entrance of Mount Doom.

Anyways on topic:
7 Dragon balls?
What you mean with that?

Because the Dragonballs can only be used to wish Goku back to some variation of life. Duh. Or underwear.

The whole point of the journey in TLotR is they cannot let Sauron cast his gaze on them. That is why Frodo is advised not to use the ring. If Sauron saw them flying into his land on the back of giant eagles then he would just send the Nazg?l to destroy them and all would be lost.

The Dragon Balls on the other hand, only have the ability to call forth the Eternal Dragon Shenron which has the ability to grant wishes to anyone who gathers all seven of them. That could be considered useful is you wished Alduin away, but that would be a waste of a wish, with the Dovakiin there.

Also, Spam taste yummy!!

Unless of course,
Spoiler
Alduin IS Shenron
Then all bets are off, even with Dragonballs.
