    Can anyone help me? Its about Gloombound Mine. I've read several area's by just typing in google that you have to wait 10 days, 30days and 45 days for the Ebony Ore to respawn. I've waited 45 days and still hasn't respawned. I even went and did 2 quests in falkreath and then sat and waited for the other 42 days away from the mine. Do I have to clear the mine completely out because the only thing i mined was the ebony, I never touched the iron ore deposits because I dont need them. Can anyone help me out and tell me if I'm doing something wrong or should I wait more days or do i need to do more quests? Also, idk if this matters but I mined the ore on the 6th and im now on the 21st of the following month.

    The timer starts counting from last visit. So if you go check after 3 days, then 10, then 15 etc. and the timer is 45 days, it never respawns.

    I did revert to old saves after i checked 10 and 30 and 45 days so that way the timer never reset . So idk whats wrong... do i need to clear out the whole mine or should that not matter? The color is back on the ore vein it just wont let me mine it.

    You know kinda like the Nerevarine was Indoril Nerevar reborn. What if the Dovakhiin we play is the Avatar of Talos or shit even Talos himself?

    We know that Tiber Septim is now the god Talos and maybe he foresaw the return of Alduin or Akatosh told him about it. So he decided to return to Nirn to defend his Skyrim. Much like Akatosh fought against Mehrunes Dagon.

    A big hint could be that the Greybeards call the Dragonborn "Ysmir". Talos was also know as "Ysmir - Dragon of the North". Why do they call our Dovakhiin with the title of Tiber Septim?

    So I bet on a DLC in which our Dragonborn discovers that he indeed is Talos reborn or a Avatar of him. The Nerevarine did not know about that either and Nerevar was some sort of god among the Dunmer much like Talos.
    I could sort of see that. Its the only way the Thalmor have a chance of destroying him and fulfilling their long term goals, as well as a guaranteed way to revitalize the Empire. He's already more influential than most beings of his power.

    I don't know about the other game but it seems that in each game your character is waaaay more than meets the eye. I don't know if the Nerevarine storyarc was the main one for Morrowind but in Oblivion, the Champion of Cyrodiil ended up becoming Sheogorath himself which wasn't even directly part of the Oblivion main quest. Similarly I can see the Dragonborn "ascending" once again after you find out that your character truly is Talos and that would completely obliterate the White-Gold Concordat especially for the Nords.

    Dragonborn DLC has already been out for over a month, just not for PC. So I doubt thats the case. I havent read about whats going to happen in detail there so I wouldnt spoil it for myself when I get it but.. Im pretty sure its about killing some old draugr dragonborn and has nothing to do with Talos or Thalmor. Also, Ysmir is just a title for dragonborns, I think but in any case, the graybeards don't know anything about that so it doesn't matter what they call you.

    So if anything is going to be revealed, it's going to be either in some upcoming DLCs or in a next game. However, I don't think your character is Talos for too many reasons. 1. Thalmor vs Empire war - I just don't see it happening in Skyrim and it is unlikely they make a large enough DLC for it. 2. If the war is going to be in TES 6, your old character would be history and I doubt they let you play a (new) dragonborn again 3. Divines don't intervene, daedra do, they might not even be "real"(in the TES universe). Nerevarine wasn't a god but Vivecs friend or something like that who remained loyal to Azura so she brought him back and created the prophesy to put the Tribunal in their place for playing god.

    Talos could at any moment wipe out the Dominion if he chose to just as effortlessly as he "retconned" the Rainforests of Cyrodiil. He's just like Vivec, so he can't be truly killed unless he does it himself.

    Just because you have "cheat codes" doesn't mean you have to use them, neither does Talos or Vivec have to.

    I know that the Dragonborn DLC is about killing Miraak (the first Dragonborn) as I already play it since 1 month I meant the DLC after that one.

    Wouldn´t it be perfect? The Thalmor want to forbid Talos worship and our Dragonborn is Talos? That could be an interesting situation.

    Mabye they would want to kill him once they discover it.

    Yeah that would make an interesting plot. The Thalmor would definately want to defeat him or banish him back or something.

    Talos on the other hand would not be too amused about the fact that they want to forbid the worship of him so he prolly wants to teach them a lession.

    He cannot die after all much like Vivec because they both are gods. I still think that Vivec is out there somewhere.

    Your character in Skyrim is not Talos. There are just too many reasons why he/she can't be. The dragonborn "gift" comes from Akatosh, not Talos, not only that but Talos would know if he is Talos. Would be kinda stupid to wipe your own memory and all skills so you could be killed by random bandits and wolves? Nerevarine didn't know about it because it was all Azura's doing, Nerever wasn't a god, he was just some dark elf who stayed loyal to Azura before she started .. intervening. The player didn't become a god in Morrowind either, just immortal (as in didn't age) and quite powerful.

    I've got a problem, Dark brotherhood questline. I do the first 3 contracts and the keeper is not at the sanctuary when i arrive back. could it be a mod causing the problem? Tbh i've never ran into that before, i ended up going back to and older save and killing astrid, hours wastedtrying to find a fix but it kept happening. Hate it when bugs happen.

    Well at-least it was nice to cause a bit of discussion and to read a few posts that did not consist of that generic "Which mod is good?" "Mod xy is so nice" "Mods, mods, mods" and so on.

    I was kinda tired of only reading about mods so I thought someone needs to bring in some lore and speculation.

    They want to destroy all vestiges of mankind, Banning worship of Talos is the first step in the Human genocide, because they can't destroy the pillars of reality to end their current existence with the mankind around in any form

    Stuff from Developer Micheal Kirkblade on the Imperial library:

    [B]What appears to be an Altmeri commentary on Talos:[/B]

    To kill Man is to reach Heaven, from where we came before the Doom Drum's iniquity. When we accomplish this, we can escape the mockery and long shame of the Material Prison.

    To achieve this goal, we must:

    1) Erase the Upstart Talos from the mythic. His presence fortifies the Wheel of the Convention, and binds our souls to this plane.

    2) Remove Man not just from the world, but from the Pattern of Possibility, so that the very idea of them can be forgotten and thereby never again repeated.

    3) With Talos and the Sons of Talos removed, the Dragon will become ours to unbind. The world of mortals will be over. The Dragon will uncoil his hold on the stagnancy of linear time and move as Free Serpent again, moving through the Aether without measure or burden, spilling time along the innumerable roads we once traveled. And with that we will regain the mantle of the imperishable spirit.


    The majority of the Skyrim plot was engineered by the Thalmor as the first step to achieve this and weaken humanity.

    That explains why the Imperials aren´t that happy about the Stormcloak rebellion and the "murder" of Torygg. The civil war only weakens humanity and allows the Thalmor to exploit that.

    I still think that it was reckless and without foresight what Ulfric did. He just wanted to become the new high king. If you meet him in Sovngarde after you killed him he even says that he was acting false and without thinking about the possibilities of his actions.

    Thats why I usually join the Imperials and not the Stormcloaks. Ulfric is a big dick to be honest. This war weakened both the Nord and the Imperials and could allow the Thalmor to defeat them in this weakened state.

    Can you meet Tullius in Sovngarde too? I know Ulfric isn't the best option but the empire is not what it used to be either. I guess not since he isn't a nord..

    And now back to mods In all seriousness though, I miss Shivering Isles. Politics and the serious parts are all well and good but it would be amazing if someone adapted it for Skyrim. Improved graphics and mechanics and all. It's fairly stand alone so shouldnt be a problem. Even the RP part could be easy (Sheo comes to you in a dream if you sleep in the Pelagius wing and let you relive how he/she became the madgod or whatever). I'd even pay full DLC price for it if Bethesda did it themselves:P

    Doing it AFTER killing him would be interesting... who are you swearing loyalty to

    To be honest at the start of the game I wanted to side with Ulfric. I mean, it felt to me like the nords were opressed and their traditions were bring wiped out by invaders and all they wanted was freedom.

    However, as I went through the game, I found that is really not true. While they say they are opressed, the Stormcloaks treat any non-nord (generally non-human and redguards mostly, the other humans can sort of blend in) like crap if they themselves want to keep their traditions. There are a few who manage to raise themselves up, but that's because they abandoned everything they knew. Furthermore, Ulfric is a dick. As Torygg's mate, forgat her name said, he might have sided with him if Ulfric had tried to talk with him first, and quite a few other npcs say that. So Ulfric didn't try to talk even with him... If these factors would not have existed I would have chosen the Stormcloaks to win, but with these in mind I can't put Ulfric on the throne for he's a person with a lust for power, he only wants more power and treats others as he doesn't want his kind to be treated, kind of hypocritical by my standards, and as such he can't remain even a thane.

    I'm not sure, but think you can meet the second in command, what was her name, Rikke? The lady. She's a nord, and she actually secretly worships Talos still.
