WatchMeGoing Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 So I have questions about the Ebony warrior that basically all boil down to the same thing: Is he just there as the ultimate challange for the hardcore gamer, or is there any backstory to him? More specifically my questions are thus: Why does a Redguard want to go to Sovngarde?Will he even be allowed in? (I guess this can be tested by killing the EW before traveling to Sovngarde, IF Beth thought of that possibility)How did a Redguard learn how to shout?Why does he feel like there is nothing left to do in a universe where every third person, dead or alive, wants to rule the world through evil magicks and not to mention dragons are bringing sexy back?If he's supposedly this great adventurer and quester, why have we never heard of him before? Why hasn't he made an attempt to stop the dragons or the Thalmor? Has he only done radiant bounty quests? This fight could've felt a whole lot more epic if he didn't just pop up out of nowhere. There should've been a quest through which you learn about his history and his exploits in Tamriel. One final thought: Could he be a sneak preview into the next DLC, that is rumored to be called "Redguard"? Or have those rumors been debunked already?

breakwind Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Maybe he represents all the characters we were bored with and have deleted. :smile: All I know is he is bloody tall, made my High Elf character look like a child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaQ23 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Isn't he one of the first Dragonborns? If so, It would be the same question as to how can an Argonian be a Dragonborn if the last bloodline was all human? Or the Kitty folk or Orcs for that matter?

Notsure122 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 The ebony warrior? how do I delete that bull sith? I don't want it in my game and I will not stoop as low as them to cheat to kill such an obvious cheat If I have to remove a dlc then I will not buy another product from Bethesda. I feel another firing is going happen over this crap. HOPE SO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually made a character stick it out until level 80...I don't think he look very imposing in his armour though (judging from the screenshot) because ebony armour looks... weak.

sisterof Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Isn't he one of the first Dragonborns? If so, It would be the same question as to how can an Argonian be a Dragonborn if the last bloodline was all human? Or the Kitty folk or Orcs for that matter?The line of Emperors called "of Dragon blood" have nothing to do with the kind of power/role the Dragonborn (and Miraak) have, despite using the term "Dragonborn" too. Miraak and Skyrim's hero are Dragon souls inhabiting mortal bodies, and have the ability to consume a Dragon's soul, thus killing them permanently (they could otherwise be raised).The ones related to the Emperor are actually the chosen of Akatosh to light the Dragonfires and keep the Oblivion Gates shut so the Daedric Lords cannot march into Tamriel. They have nothing to do with Dragons per se. And it's also not a bloodline, as there has been several different bloodlines. Also, their existence became pointless after Martin Septim's sacrifice in Oblivion - by taking the avatar of Akatosh upon himself and shoving Mehrunes Dagon back into Oblivion, the Gates were shut permanently. So, the Dragonfires are not necessary anymore, nor are the "sacred Emperors". So I have questions about the Ebony warrior that basically all boil down to the same thing: Is he just there as the ultimate challange for the hardcore gamer, or is there any backstory to him? More specifically my questions are thus: Why does a Redguard want to go to Sovngarde?Will he even be allowed in?

Why hasn't he made an attempt to stop the dragons or the Thalmor? Has he only done radiant bounty quests? Anyone can learn to Shout, they don't have to be Nords, though the ability was first given to the Nords and they perfected it. Anyone can study and learn it, though.I have no idea if a non-Nord can enter Sovngarde. I'd say that yes, they could, but only if they were deeply involved in Nord culture. Shor does not appear in any other pantheon, and Sovngarde is Shor's domain.Why can he be so powerful and yet say there's nothing else for him? Well... maybe he's just depressed. :biggrin: In that case, he needs treatment, not a duel!I really hope there is a story about him to be offered later on. It would be very silly of Bethesda to put some incredibly strong dude there just for shits and giggles. Also, the fact that he is a Redguard (is he? I'm not sure) is very very interesting. And a Redguard wanting to get into Sovngarde, no less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notsure122 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 If you have ever actually fought the ebony wimp you'd know. I hit him with five duel welding attacks doing around five thousand points worth of damage without dragon hide around one thousand with dragon hide and it didn't phase him. I mean his health bar was still at full and he just stood their like my avatar had walked on by. I have seen a level two hundred NPC that only had around 3000 point of health if that is the standard then the ebony wimp should have at least suffered a third of him total hit points from my first attack alone. the point is that my avatar was fighting him and he was NOT taking damage.

Jaradin Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 >Calls him the Ebony Wimp>Doesn't take as much damage as you'd like I think you're not wrapping your head around the concept that he's meant to be that hard. He's the end-game "boss" character. He's supposed to be that ungodly hard. He's your greatest challenge, not just another enemy to defeat with ease.

If you are level 81 (which I've NEVER done, or ever will) then you should be able to work out a strategy to defeat anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
