The Neverarine was a better hero than the champion of cyrodi

It isn't that canonically, the player did everything. Rather, its that in the canon, all of those events took place. A Breton spellsword became the Archmage and defeated an avatar of Mannimarco, a Dark Elf crusader infiltrated the Blackwood Company and destroyed their Hist tree, and a Khajiit archer broke into the vaults below White-Gold and stole an Elder Scroll. Or whatever your personal headcanon is. In TES VI, a certain prominent figure will have been assassinated, but it won't necessarily be done by a werewolf wielding the Staff of Magnus.

But it could be! :gasp: I'm not helping am i? And i subscribe to the theory of personal canon, its the main reason tes games are left open.

For me the Neverarine had the most interesting storyline. I don't care really if he/she was the best/worst hero of all TES.

Trying not to repeat what has already been said, this arguement is invalid. I mean I agree that Morrowind is a better game, hell, I just made my first post on these forums in 3 years explaining exactly WHY I feel Morrowind is a better game then the latters. However, the conflicting quest lines only got to me when I was in the Imperial Legion and was forced to kill the emperor for the Brotherhood. That's the ONLY time I really had an issue with it. Ok, that's not true, there were other times, but hell, you can't expect Bethesda to make a game is the way you want it to be without sacrificing content, I mean think about it, did you REALLY like Fable? I didn't really, too short, anti-climactic and put me in a crumby position in the end.

I'd like a game more like Morrowind, but less like what you're trying to accomplish simply for the fact that what you want, conflicts with what your using to promote. Morrowind had a butt load of content to it, Fable was short, straight, and relatively boring.

The universe is easily understandable when we are 11 years old. And not so easy when we are advlts. :wink:

The player never knows for certain if his character is truly the Nerevarine or if his character is being cynically used by one person after another for their own purposes. As a result no one, not even the player who has finished Morrowind's main quest, can be completely certain who the Nerevarine truly is or if he is able to reincarnate or if he has reincarnated. This is left intentionally mysterious, an ambiguity that in my opinion elevates Morrowind's main quest above the others in the series.

So true. There is another layer of ambiguity in Morrowind's main quest, and that is Azura. What were its true motives? Did it simply want to take down the Tribunal? Did it want to rid Morrowind of Dagoth Ur? Did it want to destroy Morrowind? No one knows. I personally think Azura wanted Morrowind to eventually crumble like it did because of the Nerevarine's actions.

The battlespire recruit is the most badass hero of an ES game.

As a mere mortal he crossed Dagon's Deadlands before fighting and defeating Dagon in his own palace, stopping the invasion through the Battlespire gate....and he did all that pretty much alone (only help from some deceptive daedra) and without special powers or being a 'chosen one'.


No other hero can step to that.

Bah. Dyvath Fyr doesn't do anything but stand around in his tower all day waiting to get killed so his Daedric Armor can be looted.

He also kinda saved Vvardenfell from Dagoth Ur's rule.
