M'aiq is my hero and personal mentor; if he isn't in Skyrim who will convey such wisdom as "There is no mystery. M'Aiq knows all. The dwarves were here, and now they are not! They were very short folks... Or perhaps they were not. It all depends on your perspective. I'm sure they thought they were about the right height."
M'aiq could have become a lich but yeah I think he's gone. Someone else will have to replace him, I vote an essential Male Imperial with Todd Howard's facial features.
Well he did know the secret to becoming one, "You wish to become a lich? It's very easy, my friend. Simply find the heart of a lich, combine it with the tongue of a dragon, and cook it with the flesh of a well-ridden horse. This combination is certain to make you undead." And unlike the rest of us he rode a dragon and broke him because he was very fragile, so one ingredient down.
Actually, I'd rather see twin M'aiq's. Make a puzzle out of it, one is the liar and one tells the truth but nobody knows which~
but if theyre twin decendants from m'aiq, then they would both be liars, so if either one said they told the truth, theyd be lying, and if they said they were lying, they would in turn be telling the truth which is out of character xD Kinda makes my brain hurt...
I'm alright with him being gone. If he is making a return, I hope they resurrect his "former self" from Morrowind. He was much more entertaining there, and his name actually fit. I can guess Bethesda's opinions on a lot of hot topic things-- I don't need "M'aiq the Opinionated" telling me in-game.
If he is dead, Beth should make a tome that he enchanted with his wisdom and personality and it should talk to you on your adventures so you don't feel so alone all the time
I'd be funny to find random easter eggs with that kajiit leaving some witty comments on walls or scrolls. Doesn't even have to mention wether he lives or not.
This would be ideal. Perhaps "instructions" on how to resurrect him, among other things? XD
just get the head of a spear, a saddle for a dragon, and the tentacle of a bear, mix it all together in a skooma pipe and cast levitate on it. Have a friend in co-op mode bash on M'aiq's body with Dual-Shields at the same time. Then M'aiq will be alive
