Quick MantlingEnantiomorph Questions

Post » Tue Oct 07, 2014 9:42 am

1. Is the Enantiomorph merely a specific type of Mantling in which one Mantles either the "King" or the "Rebel" and then proceeds to switch places, or are Mantling and Enantiomorph completely separate concepts?

2. If one were to Mantle a figure that was involved in the Enantiomorph, does that individual have to take part in the Enantiomorph or can they simply Mantle the original figure (before that figure became part of the Enantiomorph.

The reason I am asking is I am playing through Skyrim again and am deciding on the course of action to take with Paarthurnax. Specifically, I have always believed that I need to to kill him because if he attempts to Mantle Alduin (which I believe that he would), he by default would also become involved in the Enantiomorph, which would require the blinding of the witness (me as the Dragonborn). However, if he is able to Mantle Alduin without becoming caught in the Enantiomorph, then perhaps I would not have to kill him as his ascent would not intrinsically require the mutilation of my character.

Also, by killing Paarthurnax, does my character become caught up in the Enantiomorph (which I would like to avoid)? That is, does him not dying by my hands keep me safe from becoming caught up in the cycle of Rebel and King?
