Would It Really Have Been A Bad Thing If The Game Had Multiple Heroes?

Traditionally TES games have been about a single hero rising up and saving Tamriel/Whatever Province. And I know that that is definitely a staple in the TES SP games. But do you think youd have been bothered much if ESO had taken the position that there were multiple heroes and not just a single Vestige. That with the Three Banners War and the invasion by Molag Bal. Multiple heroes from each Alliance would rise up. Not just some weird out of phase multiple copies of the Vestige. But actual individual heroes.

Datamining suggests that back when we were "Numinous" and not a single "Vestige" per universe, the Multiple Hero thing was at least considered. I guess it got too complex? Pity, because I prefer the Chosen Many to the Chosen One, tbh, even if I came from the main TES games where it's A Thing to have you be the super-special chosen one (okay, I guess everything up to Morrowind wasn't that bad).

It's not hard to reason why there are multiple copies of the same person running round Tamriel at once, when things like Shadow Magic and Dragon Breaks exist, but still.

Not sure where I read this but i read an article way back which talked about how MMOs players preferred having just a singular hero "them" rather than a whole bunch of other heroes. Sort of like In WoW where there's only one hero where even Thrall kowtows too.
