where do we go when we die?

[RatcatcherOfKvatch]

Back to the cart to try again. "You're awake!" Hello again, Ralof ... my old friend.

 

You know I have whole religion built up around Nirnroots, right? Picking them (except on the farm) is bad luck. It's really more of a superstition ...

where do we go when we die?

To the recycle bin, of course. :)

Back to the cart to try again. "You're awake!" Hello again, Ralof ... my old friend.

 

Sounds like the start of a song.

 

"Hello Ralof my old friend,

I'm back to fight along with you again....

With my voice and blade, I'm overpowering,

Leave my mark while I am fighting.

Now the warriors that saved this homeland

Still remain,

Within the halls of sovngarde..."

 

To the line of Sound of (Skyrim) Silence.

Can't believe I missed this.

 

"Hello Ralof, my old friend ..." will go through my mind now every time I hear him say, "Better take Gunjar's gear. He won't be needing it any more."

 

"And the Words of the Dragons were written on the glowing walls ..."

Perhaps the player character goes through all of these afterlives simultaneously? He may experience them all for all we know, or none of them at all. Crazier things have happened according to the lore.

 

Or it could be said that all of these supposed afterlives that are said to exist for following each of these Daedra, the Divines, etc. are just a load of superstitious crap and there is really only one place that everyone goes after death. I mean, in the real world we have followers of many different religions who all have very different views on what happens after death. Does that mean that when one dies they go to whichever afterlife they believed in when they were living?

But this is the Elder Scrolls, not the real world, so this does not fully apply.

 

Or maybe the player character is a god himself and can't die, and that's why he gets to reload a previous save everytime he dies ;)
