shadowpuppet777 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Has anyone heard what the real storyline is for Skyrim? Other than that Alduin guy killing people. Any info? Thanks :) Edited September 12, 2011 by shadowpuppet777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcrin Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Obviously nothing really major but here's all we know so far: The King of Skyrim has been assassinated and the province has descended into civil war, with one side supporting the empire and the other wanting to break off from it. Alduin is possibly Akatosh. You're a Dragonborn, which means you're a humanoid born with the soul of a dragon. Notably, Tiber Septim was also a dragonborn. This means you have the power of the Voice and can use magic powers by speaking the language of the dragons. You don't have to be a dragonborn to use the Voice though: It's also practiced by the Greybeards who live at the Throat of the World on the highest mountain in Skyrim, at the top of 7000 steps. At some point in the main quest, you'll have to make a pilgrimage there. The opening tutorial dungeon of the game (like in Oblivion where you follow Uriel Septim as he's attacked by the Mythic Dawn) takes place at your execution. Obviously you survive, but the conditions and reasons for this survival are unknown. Not all dragons are out to kill you: There are some friendly dragons, even one who you can recruit as an ally. Nothing else is known about these friendly dragons aside from their existence, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowpuppet777 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 I hope that they release more info about the storyline. I do appreciate the info that they have released so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntsman2310a Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I heard that one part of the story is spent travelling to the Greybeards, training with them, then another is spent running around convincing all the major towns to help. All in all I'd say just wait until it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatalmasterpiece Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Oblivion had a main story line? I spent the whole time doing random quests, looting treasure and killing monsters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely. I say "possibly" because we have no idea how they're going to handle the Akatosh/Alduin relationship: For all we know they could have just outright retconned them to be completely different entities.
