groupoffriends Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 One of the things I expected to see in Skyrim was a mission to find the statue of the dragon that Martin became at the end of Oblivion's main questline, and rescue Martin somehow, so that the Septim line could continue, and Tamriel would once more have an emperor to unite the provinces and prevent wars. But Martin is all but forgotten in the Skyrim game. Do you have any thoughts or opinions on this matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldofscotty Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 There would be no point in the war for Skyrim between the Empire and Stormcloaks if someone else was going to take control by birthright. They can keep these little stories in their back pocket though for later elder scrolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any thoughts or opinions on this matter? i really don't think that would fit all that well into this game. and i think such an event might cheapen the ending of oblivion. just IMHO, as always.

vertex23 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Isn't Martin dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpestilence Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Uh.... We know where the statue is. It's the statue of Akatosh in the Market District in the Imperial City. Martin is about as dead as he can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodfellowGoodspring Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Martin sacrificed himself to get rid of the giant thingy guy and end the Oblivion disaster, being able to resurrect him would undo his sacrifice and wouldn't make any sense, plus it would be illegal because Necromancy is illegal! If a royal bloodline was recreated it still wouldn't 'prevent wars' it would create even more tension especially after hundreds/thousands of years since a stable empire, because groups will always oppose outside influence interfering with their county like seen in Skyrim currently with pro-empire and anti-empire groups.

Temple District* I agree though. He'll probably stay dead and the empire will have to move on with another bloodline of kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupoffriends Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Isn't Martin dead? Well, not exactly. He was transformed into a dragon, then transformed into a statue, not a corpse. He didn't actually die. Perhaps the statue is a living statue. Ossified, unable to move, but still able to perceive his surroundings and nearby events.

He should be quite well protected. If he survived the freezing process, that is.--Return of the Septim? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubjectProphet Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 It would soil the Oblivion storyline and disgrace TES. I would riot in front of Bethesda's studio if it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
