gamesas's Canon on dawnguard

Post » Sun May 05, 2013 5:22 am

I wonder what gamesas will chose as its canon. I want to know what others think. Will they put Dawnguard victory as canon or the vampires?

No victory will be canon.Most likely the rest of the world won't even know it happened.It'll be just..."We need to do something about these vampire attacks.".

"There are rumors that the Dragonborn assisted in ending Harkon's threat in skyrim, though whether through siding with the Dawnguard or the vampires themselves is a detail that has been lost to history."

I'm expecting something like that.

The "war" between the Dawnguard and the Vampires is kind of a secret war so I don't imagine we'll be hearing much about it.

Pretty much, maybe a passing rumor in some book, or some conversation you can overhear but that will be it.

i imagine the dg would win, but it wouldnt be mentioned much in the lore

its a secret war and beth usually keeps everything but the mq really vague

but i feel that theyed have to let the dg win since the sun periodically going out from harkon/the vamps shooting it would be hard to keep vague

thats something most people would tend to notice XD

but im sure it wont even be mentioned in the canon lore besides a little 'the dg and vamps had a war' or something like that

Well either way the sun will still be up so that will prolly be all that is mentioned.
"It is said that an elder scroll prophecy fortold the blotting of the sun by a powerful Vampire Clan but this potential crisis was averted by the Dragonborn, by what means the hero accomplished this is unknown but either way nirn owes them a great debt"

Harkon doesn't succeed no matter what side the player is on. I voted for a Vampire Dragonborn, but it makes no difference to the outcome as far as lore is concerned..

secret? half of skyrim knows, the guards talk about it, dawnguard goes from town to town asking if people are interested - its not a secret war at all.

Except nobody really knows what happens. How many guards or NPC's mention Harkon himself, or the prophesy? They're just like "zomg the sun?!"

The Dragonborn wielded Auriel's bow and stopped Lord Harkon. That's all that is needed to be canon. What side he/she joined is essentially irrelevant and lost to rumors.

Dawnguard will win. The Dragonborn isn't becoming a creature of the night any time soon.

They won't mention or be specific about it, they'll simply put "The Sun Prophecy was ended by the Dragonborn in whatever era".
Nothing new, really.

It's a very minor event, in the scheme of things. They'll likely just say 'a vampire of the Volkihar clan assisted an unknown hero in ending the plot to blot out the sun' or something along those lines. If they say anything at all.

The thing about TES is that canon is pretty irrelevant. The storylines are written in such a way that no matter which option you choose, your way will be the right way. There are a few exceptions, but this generally holds. The Dark Brotherhood, for example.

I'll go a step further and say that the Canon won't even mention the Dragonborn's involvement. The circumstances will be vague and likely not even mention a "hero's" involvement; but if it does, that's all he/she will be. A nameless "hero". I doubt the Dragonborn will be tied to the Dawnguard at all.
