Elves live for around 400 years so both Fargoth and Adoring Fan are still alive

EDIT: Mai'q is Tom Bombadil

Maiq the liar's Dialog option~

Many wonder why Maiq is still around, to them I say Death boring why do it? Maiq doesn't do boring things.

Perhaps Skyrim won't include M'aiq himself. We may meet another Kajiit called "L'aiq M'aiq", who would be pretty much the same, only not.

Besides, how else is Bethesda going to convince the player that removing Swords was a positive step, and that "streamlining" the game by taking away awkward game mechanics like "sneaking" will make for a much better experience. After all, who would want to make their back sore from hunching over, when Chameleon and Invisibility potions are so much easier?

We need M'aiq to make a stab at Fable again!

Haha I get it.

I thin hes going to be referenced or appear in some way such as:We find he's skeleton somewhere,hes a ghost or a zombie, we meet his descendant or some khajit mentions him .Or you know,f*** this lets just put him there alive.

It will be...

J'aiq, son of Bl'aiq, son of M'aiq!

i dont think he's the first
i think of the liar as sith
theres always a master and an apprentice
no more no less

he is the forgotton daedric prince. maiq the daedric prince of truth.also do you know the lifespan of beastfolk? thought not

Around 90 years I do believe (same as human races)

M'aiq is an easter egg. He doesn't have to have continuity and probably shouldn't. There are things that don't have to make sense.

It's his great grandson, Ma'iq.

"Around 90 years I do believe (same as human races)"
and your source is?

Lore forum

ah well then heres to hoping maiq is either clavicus viles dog a forgotten daedric prince or he found the secret to immortality

This, because cats are dogs.

M'aiq was in M and O. I have no doubt he will be somewhere in S. He's an easter egg, and not meant to be construed as an actual character that has a real place in the world. He is the devs breaking the 4th wall as a joke, no more no less.

Though if he turned himself into a dragon (like the Tiger akaviri emporer) and used that to explain his survivial i'd be tickled pink.

i hope ol maiq looks exactly the same save for..a colovian fur helm :3

i could see one of his dialogues now "see i told you there where dragons maiq never lies"

I think that's the answer, really. Being an easter egg, M'aiq doesn't need to make sense, while he hasn't managed to live beyond the natural lifespan of his race as of Oblivion, to our knowledge, his dialog borders on breaking the fourth wall, so it seems obvious that he isn't meant to be taken seriously as an actual part of the world, so if Bethesda decides they want him in Skyrim, he can be in Skyrim, no matter when it's set, this doesn't mean he will be in the game, of course, it just means it's not impossible for it to happen.



I doubt that, it's been said that elves have longer lifespans for humans, however, for those races whose average lifespans have not been specified, we can probably assume they're similar in length to what we would see in real life humans living under similar conditions to those in the Elder Scrolls. So, we can safely assume, it would not be natural for a Khajiit who was alive at the time of Morrowind and Oblivion to be alive now.

I want to see his fast behind self walking with a cane....old age finally sets in
"M'aiq the Liar is unconcious and needs help to get back up"

There will probably be some easter egg about him like maby you can find his corpes somewhere with a note on it or lying around somewhere, maby a family line. When i get the game i will personaly look out for him hen again when the creation kit is released maby someone will find an answer in there

I'm amazed no one has said this yet (edit: in this thread), and it's only two words (and almost poetic):

Dragon Break.

I mean, this is M'aiq we're talking about. I'd wager a time-unraveling event of such magnitude would be no problem for him.

M'aiq does not concern himself with warping westwards. M'aiq simply warps to the now.

This reminds me of that "You are not Dovakin" thread.

We all know how that turned out.
