In TES VI you play as Numidium. As you come out of the time rift, the Thalmor hit you with a spell that rips the Dwemer out of you, and you must wander Tamriel collecting Dwemer souls to regain your abilities.

Each Elder Scrolls game is about deactivating one of the towers. If they set a game in Hammerfell, that means the player would need to deactive Direnni Tower, which means we would get to somehow undo Convention. Which would be really weird.

As bad as the Oblivion mages' guild is, the plot was at least comprehensible and plausibly threatening. I've played the Skyrim mages' guild multiple times and I still can't really tell you what that thing was about. We found a big glowing orb in a dungeon and we loved it since we're wizards I guess, then another wizard appeared but only to me, Two-Cantrips Pete, instead of, say, the Archmage who knows about it and could do something about it, and told me not to allow the other other wizards to get their hands on the orb, because the orb is really bad or maybe it's really good, which I accomplish by going to some other dungeons where the Archmage who really should have been in on this in the past had been before and left his ghost journal behind, and also an orc wanted some books, but that last part may not have been related to the actual mages' guild and may just have been the orc's personal thing.

The College of Winterhold questline they shipped is only like a quarter finished. You were originally supposed to go back in time and cause the destruction of Winterhold.

Dragonborn is Talos. After being mostly killed off because of reduced faith thanks to the elves he jumped into a mortal avatar to renew his power and renew faith in him.

The main character of Oblivion was an avatar of Akatosh, in Morrowind your either the Nerevarine or just Azuras chosen. You're always the tool of an Aedra or Daedra in these games.

Talos isn't a he, it's 3 people mixed together.

the first of a new rightful line of Tamrielic emperor's

Being Dragonborn doesn't make you a rightful emperor, it's just that the Emperors also happened to be Dragonborn.

Archonex posted:

Hell, what Hermaeus does is arguably another example of Mantling. If he convinces everyone he meets that he's this all knowing, all seeing, omni-potent Machiavellian being, does that not qualify him as being treated as such? Of course, the problem comes around when someone with the power to stand up to him starts calling him out on his bullshit.

That's not at all how mantling works. You don't make anything new when you mantle, you specifically act like something else that isn't around anymore until it becomes you. It's filling a metaphysical hole.

I didn't mean that he was actively using it to try to Mantle something. Just exploiting some of the concepts behind the idea of Mantling itself. Mantling is basically the idea that you can trick the world into thinking you're a thing so well that you effectively become that thing in the eyes of the world.

It's basically being such a good liar that the lie becomes the truth. And if you pay attention to the differences between what Hermaeus Mora is saying and what he and others are doing it starts to become apparent that he's a very good liar.

No, it's a bad example because none of that is at all related to Mantling. What you're talking about is the First Walking Way, The Prolix Tower.

To put it simply, Mantling is walking the walk of a god, Prolix Tower is talking the talk of a god.
