i was woundering if anyone else is going to continue from oblivion into skyrim i mean ingame with the same race/gender/name altho in a logic/lore sense you will ether have to be a vampire thats been alive...undead for 200 years
a Altmer or have found a way to prolong your life with magic

i mself am going to be playing my Altmer/male/mage/Vampire

I'm not going to play the excact same person, rather his great-great-great-grandson or something. Both are/will be Male Nord Spellswords (or Spellaxe, in the new one's case)

I am probably going to start with a similar character, but I will not be imaging any relation between the two, after all. Other then being a PC, and probably starting their great adventures in prison. I doubt that there will be that much in common between them. Also wouldn't some of the characters that started in Oblivion be well... ya know... in Shivering Isles right now.



Did ya play shivering isles? if not I am not gunna spoil it, but what happens to the character there could potentially have made them immortal without the virtue of any of the above. However technically it would also leave them unable to return to Tamerial, in the game you still could but that was more likely virtue that people would still want to play the game.

No. Not at all. It makes zero sense for them to be related. Asides from the time jump, the Champion of Cyrodiil is in the Shivering Isles, being Sheogorath. And even if he/she was a vampire, why do they all of a sudden svck? You start in a prison/execution, and you're a level one character. How did you go from being such a pro to being a total noob?

Besides all that, in my mind each TES game is different, with a different character and a different setting. I don't want to knock on your playstyle if you like keeping the same character through all of them, but personally I couldn't do it. I'd find it too absurd.

Nope, almost tough, i placed an entire story of how my Oblivion dude will be in relation to my skyrim one on my lil page? on this forum here on mah profile i guess?

Nope. Might make a character in Oblivion to be related to my new character in Skyrim, but not the same person. If you continued a character, it might break a few things. People aren't going to announce your other accomplishments you made in Cyrodill, just the ones you made in Skyrim. I'd much rather start a new character, even if some race ages allow it.

Elven races are capable of living centuries without the use of any magic I believe. I understand what your saying, about transferring your character from Oblivion to Skyrim. I don't like the idea of it however. Your Altmer could very well be alive, but someone's Imperial would have died from old age two centuries back. It wouldn't work for gameplay reasons.

Maybe he was in prison for literally 200 years and all his skills went down. He'd suddenly get out and realize he's got no land-legs! Or something. Like maybe you can't practice your magic in prison or something. And he forgot to lift weights.

My Altmer mage survived her long and pointless adventure in Cyrodill, only to FINALLY realize she has to do something about the dragons once she's out of prison, for having accidentally set someone on fire while shaking their hand....


And my Imperial knight... well, she inherited the powers of Dagon, althoug besides living longer and not aging at all, she doesn't know how to use them.

The rest are gonna be familly related, except my Nord warrior, who accidentally stepped into a time warp, making him switch places with the prisonner who was supposed to be executed on that day

Actually, as mentioned above, the Champion of Cyrodill, Ascended to become the new god of madness, the new Sheogorath, possibly gaining Deadraship and very likely gaining immortality. This would make it so that a) race shouldn't matter, he/she should still be alive but B) the ascension to Godship would make them literally unable to step foot on Tamerial and thus stuck in the Shivering Isles.



Wouldn't that mean they would start with literally capped thief skills tho... also there is that whole getting svck in the Shivering Isles bit as the new Sheogorath since the old Sheogorath reverted to being Juggalag(sp)

I was kidding. Maybe being in jail in Skyrim doesn't make you improve your thief skills. Or is that in every Elder Scrolls game? I can't remember.

I never finished Shivering Isles because I don't like Sheogorath...didn't do his Daedric quest in Oblivion either because it was too mean so my Champion of Cyrodiil is just that. It is a long time later though and I'm still thinking of a backstory. Certainly my Champion could have lived a long life after moving to Skyrim and finding a Nord partner had some offspring. Maybe the Nord partner was dragonborn and didn't know it so it passed on through her? I don't know...time will tell. I'm thinking about using the name Kvinne (pronounced Keena) and she'll be a mage. That's as far as I've thought about it.

i did play the SI expansion and hey maybe a god wants to take a vacation to skyrim and as for the prison im sure that they would release you after 200 years

and i dont mean actually transferring a oblivon character to skyrim just make a new character on skyrim.. i would like to add scars to my High elf also if they dont add Vampires to skyrim that could lead to a problem but maybe yo cured vampirism at some point in your life and im well aware that the most of the human races live only up to there 80's i think dont really know the ages in oblivion

The Champion of Cyrodill acquires Sheogorath's staff from a man (forget name) in the remnants of Jyggalag's ancient library. I'm sure the man says something like if your successful at constructing the staff, you'll be the first mortal in history to obtain a dedicated daedric artifact. To me that suggests the Champion of Cyrodill didn't technically become a daedric prince and thus, immortal.

No cuz my char svcked, put something close but not quite in Skyrim

Eh, the same concept, yes. Skills? Who knows how that will work out with the new system, but I go for bows and daggers. Name? Eh, maybe Morris, or Sylvester, or my standard "Kaji" (assuming I can still be a cat).

This, except for the whole Nord spellsword thing. My Skyrim char. will be the descendant of my Oblvivion char.

The way people talk about it, I think it was meant to appear open, as if no-body knows, the Champion is suppose to have inherited Sheogorath's power however and Sheogorath's power made Dyus undying (and as such immortal). Why not use that power on yourself to make yourself undying if indeed it was inherited. The Champion certainly toke over the role of mad-god and has all the symbols of power over the Shivering Isles. Even Jyggalag questions himself in the end when he refers to the champion as mortal and wonders if perhaps the Champion will meet the new role (mad-god). Either way, we should know if there is a new Sheogorath in Skyrim, it's unlikely after all that the other Deadric Princes would leave the realm alone should the new Sheogorath have been able to hold their power/position. Considering Mehrunes Dagon wanted to conquerer Tamerial after all.

Nope.

Though my characters usually are pretty similar (Breton mage who has a rather neutral, self-serving, but errs on the side of kindness, personality)

To keep it simple, for this new game, I will create new characters. However, I have often used some names from previous games like Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion.

But that is not the case, so far, for Skyrim.

At least one of my characters will be a descendant of my CoC. For the most part though, no probably not. I typically have one "main" play through then the rest will just be exploring and enjoying various parts of the game.

I will play the same guy, after a quick fire up of the CS, and making a new race my guy isnt from Nirn.

No. I might even try playing a Nord my first playthrough for the extra involvement in local affairs. Course it may not be long before I reroll to play my latest Altmer. :wink_smile:

prob not... However you did just give me a cool idea...
A Resentful great-great grandson of the mighty HoK attempting to live up to his standards. however that doesn't really fit with the lore of my character in any way.

Great idea - I shall steal that! :foodndrink:
