Carnotorium389 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) Skyrim is always open ended or it has no real ending. You could play your character forever and forever. But what happens when all deeds are done? What i seek is a conclusion for my current playthrough: "Let the dragonborn die in a final encounter" and let the hero rise to Sovngarde or to Akatosh side or whatever. On the highest levels, someone like the ebony warrior appears (again) and challenges the dragonborn for one last time - but this time, the dragonborn will not win. This mysterious challenger could be send by the gods, then only the dead can enter the higher realms. ..Later our hero awakes as a ghost, but he cant interact with anyone. A quest guides him to location where his funeral ceremony is taking place. It is a grand ceremony, grand eulogies will be spoken and a grand monument can be seen. Many of the dragonborn friends are attending. after a while a portal appears and a mysterious figure steps out and talks to our dead hero. This figure invites us to a glorious new journey in the great beyond. That will be Dovahkiins Apotheosis... ~credits roll~ *Time to start anew!* Edited June 24 by Carnotorium389 correction of spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirebearCoat Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I like this idea. This would be kind of cool. This sounds like it could become a huge cool expansion pack to round out the story of the Last Dragonborn, the Tenth. (Perhaps the requirement is that all of the main and side quests have to be done, and the radiant quests have to be done at least once, each. Because, once you're dead, you can't come back and do those quests, right?) As Dovahkiin does quests in Sovengard, he meets Talos, and does a big quest line for him that confirms to Dovahkiin - once and for all - that Talos really did become the Ninth, because Akatosh had elevated him to that post. Then, maybe, at the final end, Dovahkiin is elevated by Akatosh to become the Tenth? And it ends with a great reveal. That is, that Akatosh, and the Ten, are now ready to face the great evil that is poised to wipe Mondus (Mundos?) out of existence, and it ends with that. Even in the afterlife, the adventures and the conflicts will never end. Or instead, after being elevated to the Tenth by Akatosh, Dovahkiin desides to visit Nirn and take a tour down memory lane in Skyrim. At the end of the tour, Dovahkiin discovers a shrine, or temple, and his/her likeness is the main statue at the temple, and there are priests preaching about the Tenth, Dovahkiin, the Last Dragonborn (but the Thalmor are now, fruitlessly, waging a campaign to also stomp out Dovahkiin worship). The End... What do you think? Is it too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The End... What do you think? Is it too much? Thats pretty fleshed out - i like that. Important is that we get a epic emotional farewell in a cathartic manner - a story must end so a new one can start. I promise, a new character will feel different then.
