Transfer your OB Character to Skyrim

Post » Wed Jun 29, 2011 7:40 pm

Uhhh. There were a bunch of people wanting this with Fallout: New Vegas. I don't see why. How about, no. Due to differences in the engine, mods, story, and timeline? Enough reasons why it won't work and shouldn't happen?

No. Your statement is false. :obliviongate:

There will be only one shrine. If there is another shrine...I shall destroy it (mod it out)! :sadvaultboy:

The CoC wouldn't change as much as people think. I'm not arguing that CoC wouldn't change - the relm would definitly influence the CoC till they are unrecongizable. However, before the relm got its hands on us - a few things happened to our character. First, the main quest.

How many sain people run into hell itself with no back up on a regular basis? Not only that, but look at these forums. People called the experience boring. The CoC wasn't even scared of the things. Instead of "omg another gate to hell!" it was "great...another one..." :P We all know they were dreary for other reasons - but think about it. All of us CoC called gates to hell boring. Its ironic, but even more so its insain.

Second, in the knights of the nine expansion - we learned another thing. A Divine Crusader was needed to fight off Umaril, someone to follow in the path of Pelinal Whitestrake. And old Whitestrake happened to have fits of madness that would hit him. And we're talking about fits that would alter the country-side. The Khajiit are still a little upset about what happened way back when. At any rate, I still believe its not coincidence that our CoC was called upon to follow after Pelinal. Both characters were rather crazy.

And then we learn in Shivering Isles, eventually, that we are to be the Madgod. No dought that the CoC would change, but I feel that the CoC was so crazy in the first place there would still remain small frames of memories that CoC hung onto as they slowly started to drift towards how crazy the relm was, while the relm also changed a little to match the CoC.

In the end, I'm willing to bet the followers of Sheo never noticed a thing. Anyone who thought that there was a change would probably be regarded as insain and brushed off by most of the other followers. And at most, I believe if we get to talk to Sheo - he will either break the forth wall and say hello to us as a gamer...

"My goodness! My old friend! Its been so long! Why, you haven't even changed a bit! How's the family? Friends? I say, so much has happened since you left! I can't believe I finally have gotten the chance to meet you again! After you left a lot of intestins got skipped, if you catch my drift. I'm almost tearing up thinking back!"

1-"Erm...have we met before?"
2-"You're as loony as everyone says."

1-"I belief we have. Didn't we? I could have sworn it was you. Maybe we didn't. A lot has changed since back then...I don't really remember much. But I could have sworn you were you. But you're someone else. So sad. I guess I'll never get to see you again. But if you're not you, what do you want?"

2-"I'm so glad you noticed! I've really been working hard to try and fit the job. Everything here is as it should be. Crazy. I love crazy, you could say it grew on me. And cheese. The cheese doesn't grow on me though. That would just make no sense! Haskil says he is appaled at how much I've come to love the yellow stuff. He sure hasn't changed after all these years. But I sure have! Haha! For insance, if you hadn't remembered me I definitly would have taken your skull, carved it into a handy juice cup, and given it to Dagon. He definitly remembers you. But you remembered, so I suppose I'll help you. So, what do you want?"


...or Sheo will mention how he and Dagon have a small rivalry going on for a reason he can't remember. And weightless carrots. I'm sure he has something to do with that. I'm sure of it!

being dragon born is passed down through many generations and your character from oblivion was not dragon born so transferring your character would not make any sense.

The dragonborn lore is actually really shady at this point. The CoC suddenly becoming a dragonborn wouldn't make sense - I agree. But it being hereditary is up for debate. Ol Mankar throws a monkey wrench into everything.

I agree. :P Beth definity could do a lot of things with Sheo - and I can't wait to find out which way they choose to take it.

how about, as others suggested.....you remake your character and pretend thats them, I mean after all thats whats being promoted by folks around here, Think its them from Cyrodiil and your fine no biggy, other wise it makes no sense since the SPELLS wont carry over and neither will the Attributes, did I mention birthsigns, the fact that mysticisim is out and all that?


ja, just remake your character, what silly little bit is transfering a character when in a series where everything is true and everything is false...

So i was thinking a transfer Character thing

I would like it to transfer my Oblivion character to Skyrim (and the Oblivion Character will look much better in Skyrim)

But your Oblivion character that's been transferred to Skyrim start back at level 1 again

i would really would like an option like that in Character Creation


What do you think about this ?


But the character from Oblivion wasn't a dragonborn...

No. Your statement is false. :obliviongate:



Both your damn statements cannot be proven so wait and see and I doubt we will even see.

Ol Mankar throws a monkey wrench into everything.I agree. :P Beth definity could do a lot of things with Sheo - and I can't wait to find out which way they choose to take it.


Im nearly sure everything Mankar says has been said to have been falsehoods nto too mention its in his Paradise, everythign there could have been like the Dreamworld in a snse that it was nto real. Or he could quite possibly be Dragonborn and that is how he could wear the Ammy. Does not neccesarily mean anyone can, or the CoC can.

I dont care if you could do that because I like options for people who like the idea however, i think it would be more fun if they would instead allow for changes to the game based on your saves and not your character graphics

Remember this is like 200 years in the future from OB so transferring a character might not make sense

Being the archmage of the guild 200 years ago could put your character's name into a book some where would be fun and interesting

I have no doubt what he said was mostly hog wash - with a tiny bit of twisted logic sprinkled around. But he does actually have the amulet on outside Paradice. He's got it on right before he goes there. Its unknown how he got it on - that's what the debates about. There's nothing known about his family either, hence the problem.

Whatever the requirements were, the CoC didn't fill them - but both Mankar and Martin did. So at the end of the day, the CoC coming to Skyrim 200 years later as a Dragonborn somehow wouldn't make sense. I do agree with that. But how one is chosen to be a dragonborn is what is still up for debate.

if you get deep into the TES lore, the camoran dynasty is full of dragon born, one of the camorans was an emperor hundreds of years before oblivion

I just pretend my main character is the Nerevarine, Champion of Cyrodil, and soon to be Dragonborn. It's probably treading on shaky territory lore wise but it's my imagination of what really happened, so my rules.

I bend the rules a lot and pretend that my character is thousands of years old.

"Royal blood" was needed to wear the Amulet of kings. Mankar was the descendant of the Camoran ruling dynasty of Valenwood and therefore met that criterion. I'm not aware of any concrete evidence that the wearer HAS to be of the Septim line and the Camoran Usurper did control much of the Colovian Highlands for a while.
