An interesting thing I thought of... *Spoilers*

Post » Wed Dec 07, 2011 7:27 pm

So we are the Dovahkiin, who is Akatosh, who is sent to kill Alduin, who is also Akatosh, because Alduin that is Akataosh that is Auri-El that is Dovahkiin can't stop himself?

Tell me this game wont end in some dumb you have to kill yourself to stop him plot twist like harry potter did.


I think you actually present something quite... I absolutely love it, honestly. It may seem to be unoriginal or cliche of some fictional stories but...

In TES, what if the Time God was split into two by, well... Anything. Choose your poison/variable. Whether by belief of mortals, or actions of other entities/gods/etc. They may be similar but due to pressures, what if you embody the other half? And not in the Harry Potter way, where you need to kill yourself to stop him. But that you are/were the same god but as a result of whatever, in this time period, you're separate and have to stop your other self, lol. Okay, admittedly it doesn't sound very cool, because mostly I cannot explain how awesome it is in my head. Partly due to how tired and starving I am, so I lack energy. But for TES, I think it'd be awesome if two aspects of the same god had to dish it out. And they're not daedra or aedra gods, as I think he is only referred to as Anu, or the soul of the soul of Anu, or something like that, lol.

So if that were split into two (or not even split, but that it's another version) and had to battle it out? Idk, but that sounds awesome to me.

Everyone is everyone is you is me is him is her is it. Alduin | Auriel | Akatosh - Shor | Lorhkan | Shezzar }{ Anu | Padhom }{ All of possibility and impossibility.

If you kill Alduin, Alduin killed Alduin.

Look at it another way: Alduin made time, right? Everything after the start of time was a consequence of that action, right? So, anything you do is just a consequence of Alduin's actions. That includes killing Alduin.

The great thing about the games is that they're just going to tell you a good story about people and whatnot. You're going to hang out with some cool dudes, get betrayed by some jerks, confront evil monsters (humanoid and otherwise), and arise as a victorious hero. That's not going to be boring. In the background though, you'll have all of these lore goodness, because everything in TES is based on lore goodness. It's like how every real-life story is the consequence of sociological, psychological, and physical theories. Just because quarks were at work when your neighbor's baby was stolen, it doesn't necessarily follow that the story of your neighbor's stolen baby is some boring physics lecture.

What would be your opinion, then of the kind of plot I did an off-shoot from his post, then? Sorry, I am a little hyper atm from lack of food and sleep. Enterting "that" phase.

I think that'd be pretty rad, but then again, I'm a svcker for that sort of thing. I think the first fictional character I ever really wrote about had these really awesome powers, which included magic cloning, but had the drawback that he constantly had to fight for his life against the clones, all of which thought of themselves as being the real person. What can I say. I like what I like.

Also, I think it'd be rad if you ate and slept. Starvation and sleep deprivation shorten your life-span, young man! :nono:

It deals with predestination, the action that created time and space (Akatosh and Lorkhan) any and every consequence is a "direct" result of said action.

Well, if we are a Shezarrine, I imagine we'd both kill ourselves and be killed by Alduin.

Well let's say that Akatosh really did help Martin defeat Dagon, I don't think he did it for anything other than his own reasons. If Dagon succeeded in destroying everything he would revert back to the Demon Leaper King (speculation) and therefore continue to hinder his world ending dinner ;) who knows what would happen to space, time, ect.
Apart of me thinks that either the Avatar of Akatosh was actually Lorkhan's assistance or because of the power of mortals' beliefs. In the ES universe beliefs become reality, Martin believed that Akatosh would save them, so because of his belief, he really did.
Sorry if this is unstructured, long day at work. Hope everyone got the point though haha


That's the thing about ol' Aka. Unlike Auri El and Alduin, who are just different cultural interpretations of the same world-destroyer time-dragon-king; Aka, The Imperial Dragon, is different. He's Alessia's greatest creation: the grim Time-God with the loving heart of the Space-God (Shezarr) pattern-welded into his chest - the perfect mediation of extremes, and the perfect chief-deity of a continent-spanning multicultural Empire.

So yeah, Lorkhan did help, in a fashion.
