      @@ValorousSkyrim So you say, like what if Skyrim get the same what Starfield too.
      If you play new game plus in Starfield, only your skills is what remained, + you got a new armor and ship. Also you have a starborn dialoge option too (because your caracter already went trough the story, he/she know what people will say, and what they want).
      Would be interesting see this in an Elder Scrolls game.

    This will be a 5-part series. Parts 2 and 3 are nearly complete, but I’d love to hear any feedback before releasing them. Please keep in mind that there may be some mistakes. This project required extensive research into the lore, and much like the game itself, there are probably countless different approaches I could have taken. I had to make my best, educated guess.
    This series is based on a lore-accurate Skyrim. For example, while Alduin isn’t portrayed as particularly strong in the game, my research suggests that a fight between Miraak and Alduin wouldn’t have an obvious winner. Also, the game does not adequately portray how much stronger absorbing Miraak's soul actually made the Dragonborn. It would have tremendously increased their strength.
    I decided to divide the story into 5 parts so I could incorporate feedback on anything I missed and make adjustments to future installments. If there’s something you’re curious about or feel should be addressed, it will likely come up later when the Dragonborn has time to "reflect."
    Thanks for your interest and input!

      I had a similar feeling, when I had my first play through; when joining the college in Labyrinthian, miraak was dead, I had J'zargos firebombs, dragonmail, several two handed jewelry pouncing up my two handed skill and I just... charged into the swarms of skeleton, screaming "c'mon guys!" To the students, with a cheer as the firebomb went of, sending droves of skeleton across the room, and clubbed the skeleton dragon to bits. After the fray, I looked back and realized I had fought alone. The students was still standing in the door opening. "Oh" I thought. "This should have happened sooner. I am way to overpowered for this to be a challange..." well, I was. Defeated Alduin a day or two just after.

      Perhaps that 'what if' could have worked, depending on the route he took in his previous life. This one finished the Dawnguard questline and had a good relationship with Serana, as he mentioned he was going to free her more out of respect than need. Lore-wise, Serana is the strongest follower in the game and probably the one closest to the Last Dragonborn (don’t quote me on that). But you did give me an idea for something else!

    You don't need for it to be inexplicable, I'm pretty sure that the dragon born after the the main quest, the two DLC and eating a fair share of dragons is perfectly capable of time traveling. Let's nor forget that he is a fragment of the time god aka and eating dragon souls who are also aka fragments makes his fragment bigger, by the time you are describing he should be a big enough shard wihtou being bound to a specific role like alduin, akatosh auriel that he very probably could just shout "Tiid Wund Vod"(time time past) and just will himself to the past. It would create a pretty sizeable dragon break tho, it would also would wound him as his soul would shatter into the different dragons he slained but no longer has slained, and all the dragons, including Alduin would know of the future as it would be time travel also from their perspective, also Akatosh and Auriel would be pretty mad, and Alduin would be ultra mad, but for defeating him. All things considered, this would be a very bad move.
    Freaking TES dragons are more biological time machines with reality warping powers than literal winged lizards, at least lore wise. They would all be aware of any time travel and have the perspective as if they time traveled as well.

    This was fascinating! A sort of view into what happens when you complete the game and start a new playthrough. Though you imply here that your Dragonborn is the same person - same race, same gender, same everything - as his previous life. I think you should have the Dragonborn "speak", but told as the narrative you're already doing, as if you're reading from a book. Otherwise, it would seem as though the NPC's have to anticipate what he needs without him saying a word. That's awkward, at best. Subscribing and following this to see where it leads. I'd love to see your mod list, because a few things I noticed were aspects I'd like to include in my own game. Also, your Dragonborn is *HOT*! (*fans herself*)

      @diablo.the.cheater 7 часов назад

      Problem is that lorewise, Alduin would remember being defeated as it would be time travel also from his perspective due to the way dragons works in TES, Alduin even more. So he would know to send mortal adversaries vs the dragonborn rather than himself or dragons, it would very probably also look like as if he time traveled for Miraak and all dragons, slained or not. Dragons are deeply related with time as they are sentient fragments of the entity which makes up time, so they would 100% have the same perspective of "returning to the past" as the Dragonborn and would take actions respective to that. The only one fucked up would be Harkon

      Yeah, this is exactly what I’m struggling with the most, the fact that Alduin, the dragons, and Miraak would know, like you said. It adds a large amount of complexity to the story, potentially requiring the series to be upwards of 20 parts. I’m still trying to decide how I want to handle the time-travel aspect of the story or if, for the sake of a 'what-if,' I should make some exceptions.

      That is not the problem with it being lore accurate, the problem is that if this was lore accurate, it would also look like returning to the past from the perspective of Alduin, Miraak and all dragons. For them it would be like for the Dragonborn as Dragons have a weird relationship with time and are made up of timeand can see all future and past with some exceptions, this would be the opposite of an exception and would remember "what once happened but has yet to happen"
      Dragons in TES are less winged fire breathing lizards and more biological time machines with reality warping language. If you travel back, the dragons are traveling back with you into their past shelves, even the ones you killed, which btw would totally shread the dovakiin to pieces as his soul shatters back into the dragon souls he absorbed.
