Francis Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I kinda found this, and I was just really impressed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Confession - I watched the first 5 or so minutes and decided that I couldn't take the repetition, so I skipped to the final 5 minutes. My interpretation -- based solely on the ending of Dragonborn when Miraak is defeated -- was always that the Dragonborn serves Hermaeus Mora as his new champion. Leaving Apocrypha doesn't mean that the Dragonborn is no longer under HM's influence, it just means that the Dragonborn can't be totally dominated within HM's realm. If HM intends to use the DB for some further purpose, there's not much point in keeping him "locked up" in some psychedelic prison. According to the wiki, Miraak's deal with HM was that he'd gain powers (or that his life would be saved) in exchange for a life of servitude in Apocrypha. Didn't the Dragonborn make a deal for the same powers (a shout) in exchange for the Skaal's knowledge? In other words, the DB already accepted HM's deal. We can't say the offer wasn't accepted just because HM let us leave Apocrypha -- it just didn't have the same conditions (servitude in Apocrypha) as Miraak's. Sidenote - most of the events in the Dragonborn quests relate to Miraak's plan to escape and return to Tamriel, so there's definitely a way out of Apocrypha.

Francis Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 You're right. But you might have skipped over some good bits. He also says that Bethesda has consistently revealed in every next Elder Scrolls game what happened to the previous main character in a turn of events that result only from main storylines (which are 100% canon, as opposed to arbitrary quests like joining/destroying the Dark Brotherhood). Since Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC storyline seems to show the most potential for damnable consequences, we might very well learn of his imprisonment in Apocrypha in Elder Scrolls 6. Also, it's been revealed that the Nerevarine was still afflicted with the Corprus disease and became immortal, and the Hero of Kvatch became Sheogorath, so I guess what I'm saying is, holy crap, all three heroes of the main Elder Scrolls games might still be alive when TES 6 comes out. ...Didn't the Dragonborn make a deal for the same powers (a shout) in exchange for the Skaal's knowledge?

I just looked up the wiki myself, having forgotten the details you mentioned regarding the Skaal knowledge. Bit of a letdown, actually, which is probably why I forgot what they were in the first place, but I found something else too:"Vahlok defeated Miraak, but just as he prepared to deliver the killing blow, Hermaeus Mora snatched away and saved his champion." Apparently, Miraak was also initially allowed to roam free before Mora got worried about his safety, or something like that. So I think it's definitely a possibility that the current Dragonborn could be locked up sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukebedford� Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Maybe, he follows in the path of talos.Not that relavent but, I think that the dragonborn's soul will never truly die,unless killed by another dragonborn, which is out of the question since he/her is the last dragonborn after you kill mirrak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
