51:40 to that same point, Alduin was out of line because he wasn't fulfilling his purpose of eating the world and ending the Kalpa. He wanted to rule, to dominate and to be worshiped. So some theorize that the Dragonborn destroying Alduin will actually allow for this Kalpa to end as intended. As who comes to the forefront to end the current Kalpa, I have no idea
fun fact the original story of Skyrim was supposed to be that the dragonborn king who supposedly died while trying to conquer Akevir would have came back with an army of dragons to conquer Tamriel and reclaim the ruby throne and he would have been the main antagonist instead of Alduin
Sometimes my brain works in wierd ways. I used to wonder why people are so sure the events of Skyrim will even be relevant in TES6, afterall, the events of Skyrin takes place 200 years after Oblivion, so clearly there are gonna be a big timeskip. Then I remember that previous Elder Scrolls games, Arena to Oblivion all takes place within a few short years of each other, so it's definitely possible that TES6 will happen within the same time period from Skyrim.
All the mainline elder scrolls games are relevant to the overall story. If it weren't for the Dragonborn. Alduin would have dominated and subjugated the world. Considering than there hasn't been a Dragonborn emperor since oblivion.
I'm really hoping for another 200 or so year time skip and that Skyrim's events get wrapped up in a nice long novel or two, there isn't enough TES literature.
One thing that really interests me is that while the Thalmor are appealing to traditional values but they also abolished the monarchy of Summerset. Another case of creating new culture while appealing to tradition is when the Chimer left Summerset. Ancestor veneration is a huge thing for the Altmer. But with time they went from praying to all their ancestors as gods to a pantheon of heroes like Trinimac and Phynaster. The Chimer didn't like that society forgot about ancestor worship and left. To this day, the act of ancestor worship is a central pillar in Dunmer society. (But they also came to worship the tribunal as gods and also the Daedra, literally "not our ancestors")
Maybe you guys can answer a question I've had for years... If ESO offers adventures in all of Tamriel, INCLUDING Skyrim, why do people still play Skyrim exclusively? I'm legitimately asking because it just doesn't make sense to me...
They are entirely different games with different mechanics, tone, art style, etc. Everyone has their preferences. Skyrim is also highly modable where ESO is not.
@jam34786 is correct. It would be like asking, "If you have a car, why drive a motorcycle? They both can get you to the same place." The experience of each is very different, even though there are similarities.
Different games. ESO is an MMO, while Skyrim is a single-player game. Plus not all of Skyrim is available in ESO yet, so you can't explore the entire province. It'll come in the future, as ESO is constantly adding new zones, so one day, we can explore the entire continent. Also, ESO is set in the 2nd era while Skyrim is set in the 4th so there are 1000 years between them. There are also some mechanical differences between the games. Also, not everyone likes playing mmos, and prefer single-player games.

@@Sunny-jk3pq because every mainline game has a dargon break that retcon the entire story

Where is the History of the Hist?!
The Thalmor were justified for the great war, but everything else? Not so much
