Too much Lorkhan?

Post » Tue Oct 22, 2013 1:28 pm

I love Lorkhan and his various incarnations, I really do, but is he getting a bit overdone? We've got the Heart of Lorkhan, the Shezzarine, Talos, the possible connection to Sheogorath, the possible connection to Akatosh, his role as Shor, and so on and so on. Are the other gods getting a bit neglected by everything tying to this god?

Even the Mer are all about hating on Lorkhan.

Should we get some heroes and villains tied to other folk soon?

It's not a possible connection to Akatosh, Shezarr who is part of Lorkhan or Lorkhan's imperial incarnation fused with Auriel after the Alessian rebellion won through belief after Alessia decided to make it part of the pantheon in order to yadda yadda yadda

Short story, in order to prevent a religious war Alessia fused Auriel and Shezarr in order to please both the humans and the aylied rebels and out came akatosh.

The thing is, though, that focusing on the Aldmeri worldview doesn't really turn our attention away from Lorkhan. It makes Lorkhan the enemy, but he's no less important to the Elves than he is to the Men. In fact, we already got a small taste of that in Morrowind. While we know that the Dunmeri worldview puts Lorkhan at its center and makes him a being to emulate, I'm not sure that the common Dunmer-in-the-street knows that, because the general story you get in Morrowind is that Lorkhan was evil and his Heart has a corrupting influence on everything that it comes into contact with. Yet Lorkhan is still, at the end of the day, at the center of that entire game.

Which kind of serves my point.

More Dragon God, less Human!

The huge flaming avatar showing up to give Dagon the smackdown in TES IV wasn't enough?

Sean Bean should voice any future appearances of Akatosh.

I kinda prefer the divines not actually having a voice, adds to the "dead but dreaming" or whatever feeling the divines have.

...

Have they ever had that feel?

I always thought it was part of the ES that the gods were fairly prevalent folk constantly hanging out with you.

Like the Daedra.

We got three, four in-game rendezvous with Aedra, tops. Not at all like the Princes.

I feel the side of Anu will be explored in-depth soon, with the next TES focusing on it.

Been a lot of Anu talk lately actually. What with the revelation of Anu being the Amaranth. Then there's MK spouting weird Thalm[OR] propaganda... Something's up...
