ebony warrior: I've come to take my place in sovngarde amoung the honoured dead
shor: sorry friend nords only

eh pretty sure only nords go there, they may have gave him one of the vanilla Nordic voices, so he said that when he died.

then alduin swoops in and eats him... so ends, the story of the Ebony Warrior.

Interesting to note, when he screams "Fus Ro Dah" it's the same sounding as the player, if s/he were a male Nord.

I've heard that, but what also seems to be happening is my nord is also taller than everyone and has been since he beat miraak (or maybe that's when I started noticing)

we find more disturbing that every npc of the same race has the same height and body our friend

ebony warrior: by the nine what is tha........*gets eaten by alduin*

I never noticed that *stares at Dunmer walking around raven rock* by the nine it's true they're all the same hight. we need a hight slider in the next update, and some variety in npc height lol

I think it has something to do with people's sensitivity to racism, really. I've heard people make these ridiculous loophole theories supported nowhere in game or out, all just to protect people's head canon. It svcks, but racism has always been a big part of TES. Why should it be any different with the gods? This portrayal is more realistic.

yeah it probably is (when did very one get so sensitive to racism) I mean all races have there own afterlife there own religion stick to it because the other races gods aren't going to let you in sorry that's just how TES works because thats the setting they are in compared to our timeline if you go back in our history for a comparison TES racism is alot less harsh than ours was

This the one Imperial Companion even admits she wont go to Sovngarde, like her Nord associates.

i'd like to see tsun hold the ebony warrior out of sovengarde, really i think it would be a matter of faith (clap your hands if you believe). If he really thought he was going to sovengarde and possessed all the qualities that shor loves about mortals then i can see him going there, if he had doubt about the after life he would be barred out of it.

He seemed pretty confident to me, like I said it's likely that he thought that he would go but unbeknownst to him only Nords go to Sovngarde.

...i dont think we grow any at any point height wise after beating him
every member of the races has a locked height, unless uniquely altered like tsuns model
so if your nord is around, say, dark elves, then yes you are taller but so is every nord compared to any dark elf or imperial or bosmer etc
the only thing thatd make you 'taller' than another member of your same race is if you had a hairstyle that made you appear slightly taller

if you had grown to the point where the ebony warrior looked normal sized to you, youd be the size of tsun (about 2ish feet taller than even a high elf) and your model wouldnt even be able to fit under some indoor areas like werewolves in some areas. most normal doors would come to about your lower neck

Clearly he was just hoping that with all he'd done, he'd get a warriors place in Sovngarde. Just a misunderstanding; and for all we know, he MIGHT go to Sovngarde and the devs just forgot to write it in to the game. I wouldn't be surprised either way.

Then again, I had no idea that Ulfric went to Sovngarde because I always did the MQ first...

I was pleasantly surprised when I found out about certain NPCs going to Sovngarde as well, one of those little features that makes TES so great and detailed.

Speaking of the Ebony Warrior and the afterlife...

Has any enterprising Mage tried to use Dead Thrall on him yet?

If it works, can you imagine how beastly of a follower he'd be?

too strong to thrall apparently makes sense him being level 81 aswell

Oh well.

It was an interesting idea at least.

In the future, there'll probably be a Mod to fix that.

It's possible. It's not as though Tsun tries to deny the Dragonborn entry if he (or she) isn't a Nord, after all. If the Ebony Warrior can prove himself to Tsun, that might be all that matters.

I still feel like the Ebony Warrior is a Nord... I know I could've made my Nord and given him a very dark skin tone...

The beard and the voice give it away on top of the skin colour.

You'd never need to fight again. He'd be a permanant Karstaag.

Maybe you need to check your screen settings............

Hes is as big if not bigger than the dremora lord you can summon
