the thing is… this even makes sense. with my headcanon where all the player characters are choosen of Lorkhan to secure his creation of Mundus it would also fit into the case that securing the planed apocalypse also is part of the plan
Due to the proximity of helgen to the throat of the world, I'd say it was involved in the dragon war somehow, and the first time we hear alduin at the start of the game is likely him materializing into present day. He was still in full combat mode and simply continued killing humans
tbh if i could i would not mind siding with the dragons and having them take over all of skyrim~ i play as a argonian and i would gladly be like a kobold for them hehe~😊
I wonder if another dragon cult would arise. I mean most people thought dragons were a myth and we know the dragon wars were thought to be myths too so i can believe a sect of people worshipping the dragons once again. And if you disagree remember that theres people that worship Mehrunes Dagon and That weird cannibal prince
Pretty sure either Delphine or the greybeards or someone along the main quest line says that the reason Alduin had been fought early in the first place was because he had decided back then to rule instead of devour, pretty sure they also said that’s why the other dragons sided with him cus they’d rule as well. Might be wrong but I swear I heard it somewhere
Soo the blades progressed to end the world faster instead of saving it they made possible to get destroyed once again an the grey beards told everything has its own path and it had its own meaning geez this story hit so many spots
Yeah apparently its not the first time an avatar of Alduin was mucking about in the mortal realm either. He's not eating Time or trying to destroy the world he's just wasting time because he's bored. Humans have a tendency of thinking prophecies are coming to pass earlier than they really are.
He kept my head on my shoulders and for that I don’t kill him. Instead when we first meet at Helgen I promise to never ever go to Riverwood if Alduin just goes away. So quiet with no dragons.🏹
This would make sense if it were not Bethesda made game, they likely just did not think it through. Just chuck it off to a massive plot hole that I had not thought of and now is possibly stuck in my head lol great.
I think my theory is that akatosh saw that maybe there is still good in the world and sent the dragonborn to defeat his son so he may hold on to his son for a later date when all the good and tamriel is gone and the people revolt against the gods a time when the world is at its lowest and there is no point of continuing
One day in the distant future he will re-emerge to dominate the world and a mighty hero will rise to end the threat, but there will not be an elder scroll to extinguish the threat and so the dragons will rise to extinguish the sun.
the way he screams when you kill him really mad me sad idk. i grew up loving dragons but when i played skyrim through for the first time (granted i was like 12) i just felt sad at the end 😢
Wait doesnt someone tell you that Alduin forsakes his destiny to rule the world rather than destroy it? I'm pretty sure its either Aegnir or paarthanax.
Another theory, last dragonborn will becone the last dragon essentially – Alduin himself. Through the shenanigans of matling mortals became heroes and even gods. Because the prophecy says: the world eater will aeae and the wheel will turn on the last dragonborn. It doesnt state a name nor the purpose of dovahkin. Just that something will happen
That's true, but there's really no indication that the gods plan to end the world any time soon. Who's to say what the end of times even means? Perhaps millions of years in the future, when all life on nirn is dead, Alduin's purpose is to clean the slate so it can be remade.
Right but The prophecy is made after alduin is sent forward in time. I.e its fortelling that alduin will emerge, and set in course the events of skyrim Its a fun theory but it kinda ignores the prophecy, and established lore

FULL THEORY: https://youtu.be/ZlazArpms9c
They need to remove Skyrim out of Scandinavian literature
101 of looking into a game Lore WAY too much. Tis just a video game my doood

Ah. We are the timeline wizard
I figured that iut a ling time ago, he was trying to recive the dragon cult. Tullious calling the dagons a nuisance is pretty accurate.

The last dragonborn: I have destroyed the world eater alduin
Paarthunax:You what!!!!!!

Well, from Alduin's perspective sure, but from the perspective of every in the game he left and now he's back. They aren't wrong.
Yeah apparently its not the first time an avatar of Alduin was mucking about in the mortal realm either. He's not eating Time or trying to destroy the world he's just wasting time because he's bored. Humans have a tendency of thinking prophecies are coming to pass earlier than they really are.
Bad dragon. I kill bad dragon.
Paarthurnax practically says the same thing when he says those that aim to destroy it prolong it and those that seek to just prolong it destroy it
He kept my head on my shoulders and for that I don’t kill him. Instead when we first meet at Helgen I promise to never ever go to Riverwood if Alduin just goes away. So quiet with no dragons.🏹
Its scary how much sense this makes
Uh… spoiler alert? Im only level 20… lol
This would make sense if it were not Bethesda made game, they likely just did not think it through. Just chuck it off to a massive plot hole that I had not thought of and now is possibly stuck in my head lol great.
I thought this was the main theory already? Even some characters mention it before and after defeating him
Where basically a reset button for him
That's what im always saying, alduin won't eat the worlds because he wants to rule it. He wants him and his buddies to rule over all of creation
That just sounds like the end of Thor
Damn..so Miiraak was actually the good dragonborn and we are the villian.
I’ve read this exact comment before lmao. Like the actual og comment
If you listen to the dialog they straight tell you this you get help from the grey beards solely for this reason
Cool more quests 😂
Ancient nords really said:
“Fuck it. This is the futures problem now”
So, what I‘m hearing is that by not doing the main quest, I’m preventing the end of the world? That’s good enough for me.
I think my theory is that akatosh saw that maybe there is still good in the world and sent the dragonborn to defeat his son so he may hold on to his son for a later date when all the good and tamriel is gone and the people revolt against the gods a time when the world is at its lowest and there is no point of continuing
I may be mistaken, but there's actually a book in game called "the dragon break" that somewhat explains this.
I did consider that Alduin is doing a very poor job of destroying the world, and doesn't seem terribly interested in doing so.
One day in the distant future he will re-emerge to dominate the world and a mighty hero will rise to end the threat, but there will not be an elder scroll to extinguish the threat and so the dragons will rise to extinguish the sun.
the way he screams when you kill him really mad me sad idk. i grew up loving dragons but when i played skyrim through for the first time (granted i was like 12) i just felt sad at the end 😢
omg spoilers, jesus I only have like 9001 hours in Skyrim, do you think I've beaten the main quest already? phuck
Wait doesnt someone tell you that Alduin forsakes his destiny to rule the world rather than destroy it? I'm pretty sure its either Aegnir or paarthanax.
Meet me red width ethridge😮😢

Well, damn. Now I feel a lot better about getting sidetracked and never actually conpleting Skyrim…
Now it's been a very, Very long time since I've played through the story, does Alduin know he's been sent through time/for how long?
