Story line possibilities for the next elder scrolls game

mmcgibbo · August 2016

So before I say any of this take it with a grain of salt because the guy that told me this was some random *** who started off telling me he was shocked I didn't know who he was. He claimed he had the fastest run time for some trial about a year ago and hasn't been on until that day. He was very egotistical and I felt like half the *** he said was a lie. Which leads me to this.

During the dungeon run with him he claimed to have met with Bethesda employees to discuss changes he would make to the game and all sorts of other crap I didn't believe but was polite and acted interested. Then he asked me if I wanted to know something about ES6 and told me that Mannimarco is going to be the main villain in the game. He said that's why he is never shown to have died in eso, to preserve him for an appearance in the next game.

Like I said I don't believe anything that came out of his mouth but it was still interesting enough to share

Unfortunately for that guy Mannimarco DID die at the hands of the Vestige and his soul was claimed by Molag Bal. The Vestige DOES have the option to free him or leave him to his torture but personally I always left him alone to be tortured for eternity

But there are plenty of rumours about his return.

He's a clever chappie... he'll find a way

Just like there are rumours that we'll see Ole Abnur again...

But didn't he die in Oblivion? Unless ES6 is set before then... or are we talking about future DLCs?

Mannimarco died in TES 4 Oblivion.
He died in his own realm, so who knows ? I am certain, this handsome monster would always find a way back.

But no no no ! TES 6 will play on Summerset Isle, the only viable and worthy choice for a next TES.

Well Abnur DID return to Cyrodiil after empowering the Vestige with the Amulet of Kings and leaving Coldharbour...

Yeah I'm just going to leave this here (don't read if you don't want an Oblivion spoiler): uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Confront_the_King

@Dracane there's a spoiler option in the drop-down menu left of the Emoji button, just put the text between the brackets

Spoilers for TES2: Daggerfall and TES 4: Oblivion.

Regardless of what you do in the main quest, Mannimarco escapes Coldharbour and becomes a god at the end of Daggerfall. He becomes the King of Worms, a sort of patron deity for necromancers.

Also, by Oblivion, the Order of the Black Worm is once again a large organization of Necromancers. You get to kill Mannimarco's mortal incarnation again, but he's still a god. Who knows if he'll come back but honestly I think it's unlikely. If he does it'll probably be more like his Daggerfall incarnation (a friendly NPC) But that's just my guess. Personally, I'd like to have him back sort of like a Neloth cameo.
