Emperor Dovakiin

Post » Wed Jun 06, 2012 4:27 pm

I thought it was pretty cool how the Dragonborn can lead a peace summit on High Hrothgar, with the Stormcloaks and the Empire attending. I could only imagine what it would be like to have an expansion where you are in a position of power, such as a Jarl of a place!(similar to KotN, where the chapel is murdered, maybe a Jarl gets killed) and you get to decide stuff that happens. Or something like that. It just felt awesome to be in a position of power for once AND my opinion meaning something for once. Only thing that trumped that feeling was going about my day to day business as a Daedric Prince and deciding to change the weather because I felt like it.

Agreed, was probibly one of the best DLC's they created (at least in my opinion) but I would like to have some serious power in tamriel, you know to tell the truth I want a DLC that covers all of tamriel and the akaviri continent. It would be incredible to eventually have a world war with the akaviri... Everyone forgets our far away foes at these times

One of the problems seems to be, in Elder Scrolls VI (assuming there is one), the whole Empire vs. Aldmeri Dominion thing will matter (who wins, how the Empire looks by the end of it, etc.). If the Dragonborn were to become Emperor, the shape of the Empire would depend entirely upon the choices undertaken by the Dragonborn in Elder Scrolls V. For example, a Dragonborn that fought for the Stormcloaks (one possible explanation would be a popular uprising in the Empire that reunited with the Stormcloaks against the Thalmor... or the Stormcloaks could invade Cyrodil and install the Dragonborn as the new Emperor). If the Dragonborn were to back the Imperials, he would only be extending the rule of the Mede dynasty (assuming he didn't lead some coup or popular uprising himself... or the Medes could die out with Titus Mede II and the Dragonborn could be named his successor).

Of course, there's a pretty big problem if the Dragonborn joins, say, the Dark Brotherhood and murders the Emperor.

I'm of the opinion that future Elder Scrolls content should focus on the conflict between the Aldmeri Dominion and the Empire (... and the independent kingdom of Skyrim??? A problem for future content is how this works out canonically; given that the Empire is already collapsing, independence could be inevitable?). If that's introduced as a DLC or something along those lines, we don't need an Emperor Dovakiin in order to participate.

I think that Titude Mede will die either by the Dark Brotherhood, or for another reason (assassination/natural death). The Elder Council will catch wind of the Dragonborn being alive and in Skyrim and could possibly be sought to bring the empire back to Septim's glory. If the player sided with the Empire, Tullius can verify to the council that Dovahkiin is a capable legate and can take control of the crumbling empire. If sided with the Stormcloaks, then Ulfric's Skyrim feels more confident with an empire lead by one of his own generals and the dragoborn (which is how Talos got Skyrim's backing) as long as the worship of Talos is reinstated (both choices will result in the Second Great War either way).

Also, I don't think Dovahkiin's destiny was just to kill Alduin and save mankind (because the Dragonborn can be any race) but have the Dovahkiin fight against the Thalmor to bring peace again to all races. This can be ambigous and successful. Skyrim's future as a game has serious potential to be even more epic and grand, and the peace meeting shows that the dragonborn can handle political dealings for which he/she favors.

You're right Dovahkiing, Dovahkiin's destiny probably just isn't to defeat Alduin. Paarthurnax says we are probably destined to do other great goods as well.

Neither did a nord sitting on the throne impress the elves or beastfolk when Talos came to power...

...they eventually shut up about it after the judicious application of an invading army and a warhammer round the skull.

This makes sense.Also dovakhiin should be able to summon the dragons to aid him in the battle agaisnt the Thalmor,Falmer and any other creature that wants to destroy Tamriel(aka:Tosh raka and Sloads).And then there would be a new age of piece.It would me amazing see dragons fighting at your side.

SPOILER!!!!




Odahviing can be summoned into battle any time you're outside.




For that to happen, you'd have to, uhh... *ahem* "remove" the previous emperor.

SPOILER!!!







Um, in the DB questline, you do exactly that...

You do have a point. Or more if you took dual wielding.

I guess a thieves guild information network and brotherhood secret police/execution squad with werewolf bodyguards and psijic advisors would help somewhat.

i agree with what ya wrote but ithik if ya sided with stormcloaks itd be more along the lines of the Empire ceeding to you under the contract that the previous freedoms were still alowed. theyd problemly do it because there last ally is on the other side of Skyrim will problemly abandon the Empire outta fear that it will abadon it.

Your last statement about Skyrim's future as a game is backed up by several things outside of thee game universe. One being statements from Bethesda that the Dlc's for Skyrim will be fewer but more significant then before. Second and more importantly is an uncertain future for Tes 6. The 360 and ps3 have been out for a long time and tes games take a long time to make, 4 or 5 years at least. Developing Tes 6 on current gen consoles is an unsafe bet. A better option would be to spend time expanding the game they have with Dlc's and potential full blown expansions.

as far as TES6, i dont thik we have to worry about ti coming out on this same console since Bethesdas got on elast FallOut game to create. TBH it would be great if this was the last TES on this console because its gonna be a few years b4 they release another console so i really hope thye take thier time on these "expansions" and keep them coming. I can wait for months on a grade a or b expansion, even though i will complain impatiently like a rabid really devoted fan to for them to hurry and release............omg for the love of talos i really hope thye are bigger than the dlcs in FO though. thats its, bring me more shimmer isles and no FO type dlcs.

Now dont get me wrong i loved most of the Fo dlcs but they fit with its style, thye are way to cramp for TES exploration. I wouldnt mind if they released "houses/horse armor/etc" as long as i got my shimmering isles type expansion....hell i might even buy horse armor and such, but i dont have to but it would be nice for the option to be there.

Heck the Dragonborn doesn’t have to be emperor. He could become the bearer of the amulet of kings with his family keeping the fires lit under the guard of the secret blades. Instead of having an empire or such, he could choose a path of allowing amulet of kings and the Dragonborn become a secret, allowing the world to not worry about such things ever again.

I doubt it please do not give me a spoiler I have not played the main quest yet.
I expect some other fantastical event to occur like in any other Elder Scrolls game.

Based on history Tes 6 wouldn't release until what 2017? You really think ps3 and 360 will be top of the line then? Beth can't start on tes 6 until they know what it's gonna be on. Which should mean massive dlc for skyrim hopefully!

I think mechanics wise they both were better, I will not deny that.

Skyrim has a world that is unique and rivals that of Morrowind.

No angry rant. :tongue:

I'm pretty sure Sheogorath would think it a novel idea, can't see many other people going for it though.

As for what happens to the Dovahkiin, it'll probably be something along the lines of retires to Hrothgaar or goes on a cruise to Atmora or something similarily out of the wayish. I very much doubt Beth will have him/her found a new imperial line given all the potential race/gender combinations and such.

While tempting, it can't be done. For once they always need to keep a door open for the next game. Could maybe be done since it's the Dragonborn and all and there is no need for names, even though emperors usually have them in the books.

The bigger problem is that it's unthinkable for the Emperor to simply go out adventurin' after his or her quest line is done. TES games don't 'end' (like Fallout did until the fans made Beth svck it down and open the game past the main quest's end). You can be grand bloody master of every guild out there after having slain the Biggest Threat Yet ? and still go crawl dungeon. There is just one person in all of Tamriel who can't and that's the emperor.

Yea, it's gonna be 2017 or so. Damn I'll be over 40 by then :D

Anyway, of course bigshot producers like Beth get the specs for next gen consoles well in advance of everybody else. I'd actually be surprised if they didn't have them by now. Sony and MS would be rather stupid to keep it from them. After all, they need launch titles and a constant stream of quality games. Given how long game development takes these days they should probably get started right about... now.

As far as every one knows new consoles are not on the horizon, hence the issue with a game that takes 5 years to develop. A lot will probably change tech wise between now and then and with the ps3 and 360 having been out as long as they have it doesn't seem like the right time to start a 5 year development project.
