Oh, no, it's much worse than that. It's what will actually happen. Skyrim contains the last of the towers, the Throat of the World. The adamantine tower, the white-gold tower, the Khajiit tower, all have fallen to the Thalmor or Martin Septim. The Throat of the World is the only thing standing between the Thalmor and the stopping of the wheel. Their goal is to go back to Padhome and Anu, back to the the time before time, "before" Akatosh existed, leaving the godhead with naught but chaos and order forever in perfect balance to dream about.

My favorite part about all that is that Paarthurnax is right--maybe this is the start of a new kalpa. Maybe the Dragonborn should just let Alduin destroy the world.

In a perfect world, you would have the option to walk to the Aldmeri dominion and destroy it in a massive campaign. Or, if you're a power gamer (I naturally sort of powergame) just walk up and decapitate the Highest High Elf and watch the Dominion crumble. Kicking it here and there to make sure it goes down all the way.

But we don't have the disk space.

ALL HAIL DISK 2!

I would have liked a Fallout:NV sized set of endings, with lots of choices having effects.

Extra amusing idea: have the ending 'slideshow' narrated by the Deadric Prince that your actions most aligned with.

EVERYONE would go for the Sheogorath ending.

[Putnam]

Oh, I just remembered something. The Aldmeri dominion is going to win. This isn't conjecture.

At least, as far as I understand this

(Note: Above text by Michael Kirkbride. He wrote much of Morrowind. He didn't write for anything other than the books in Oblivion and Skyrim. Now, which of the three has the better world building? Yeah, I thought so )

(Also, don't say that his out-of-game writings are non-canon. One of them, From The Many-Headed Talos, is quoted directly in Skyrim by Heimskr)

Can anyone give me a link to Wars in Skyrim? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[Tarran]

WIS is dead. The author removed the file and requested his profile be locked, according to an admin.

Are there any similar mods that are good? I'm rebuilding my mods list from scratch.

PC master race all day every day.
I still have my ten disks of Baldur's Gate.

[SalmonGod]

Damn.  I think I have Wars in Skyrim loaded in my game, currently.

[Rex_Nex]

Damn indeed. I liked the chaos caused by random superpowered baddies spawning anywhere they pleased

I haven't tried WIS before it got removed, but I suppose WARZONES - Civil Unrest is similar.

The only problem I have with it so far is that the author CAPITALIZES random WORDS for NO reason.

Well... I still have the file.  I keep the archive of every mod I download to make it easy to wipe and reconfigure or for situations like this.  Maybe I could upload it somewhere if people want.

It's just a posting style.
As I recall what little ingame text it actually needs isn't done like that.
WiS made way too many changes for its own good -- Alex never did get the strings working properly, so you'd have an English game and then suddenly find an item or two in Italian and have no idea what was going on.
Warzones is better, for what it does -- it is certifiably not as wide-ranging as WiS, but to a large extent the sheer amount of stuff he tried to make WiS do is exactly why it failed.

[Rex_Nex]

Ah, so that is where those italian items were coming from...

I have my copy too Salmon, I just know it wont be updated and/or become incompatible with a bethpatch.

Nah. There's no guarantee destroying the towers would undo the world, which is what they want. Destroy the world, sure, but regardless of how many pieces you break a glass bottle into it won't turn it back into sand again. Oh, and then there's still the Tsaesci, and possible towers in Akavir we don't know about.

Really, the only way for them to win was if Alduin actually ate the world again, then it really would start over.

Also the time of just P and A is too early for what they want. They wish to be gods again, not undo their godhood as well.

I don't see how that means the elves won, seeming as everything in that story hinges on the world still existing.
