Sorry to necro this thread, but felt maybe it was a better idea than making a whole new thread for something already brought up. I personally would also love to see some sort of mod where you can side with Alduin. Yeah, it's history breaking, but mods aren't canon anyway, so who cares, right? I love playing dark, cold assassin-types, and honestly the Nords drive me nuts. ESPECIALLY the ridiculous racist from the Stormcloaks. The civil war in general kind of sometimes makes me feel like "okay, if you chumps can't even get your s*** together enough to stop fighting each other and fight the dragons, you DESERVE to be devoured by them. It would definitely be hard to find a way to leave the game playable after doing the quest, but there could be ways. Maybe after you do the quest, major settlements have dragon overlords perched nearby, watching the mortals scramble about their daily lives (and, I'd assume, fixing up tributes for their new dragon overlords.) The dragons would, of course, be friendly to you. To facilitate being able to still get dragon parts after the fight, you could have rogue dragons still attack you in the wilds, either because they didn't get the memo from Alduin that you're legit now or because they still don't believe you're worthy. As for dialogue, if the modder didn't want to deal with hiring voice actors, could just use something like Fus Ro Doh to do subtitle-only, silent dialogue. Sorry, not to put down that idea, but I think that having Alduin be your father would be the deal-breaker for me for a mod like this. The Dragonborn is already a borderline Mary Sue/Gary Stu as it is in this universe, basically being able to be the leader of every guild and being the best at everything ever. Being the legit child of an actual dragon, and Alduin at that, would just kind of be pushing it too much for me. The whole "Dragonborn" thing doesn't mean you're literally the child of dragons. It's implied as a blessing from Akatosh and not a DNA-based thing >.> otherwise Dragonborn would be something that you'd see manifest down family lines rather than just popping up in random strangers. No need to make the Dragonborn an actual child of a dragon to justify something that doesn't really need justification imo.
