What's awesome is when Beyond Skyrim is complete, other modders can use it as a jumping off platform to create even better mods. Imaging changing Skyrim vanilla fetch quests to include all of Cyrodiil. Finally it can feel like a true adventure leaving Skyrim to find an Elder Scroll or other ancient artifact. The Civil War could spill over the boarder? Dragons all over the continent? Imagine being crowed emperor because you're the dragon born and save the world.

@K_1_T_S_U_N_E 7 ай бұрын

A.) The civil war won't spill over. Ulfric even says he doesn't want a full scale war with Cyrodiil. B.) Outside of Skyrim dragons will only appear at scripted locations. C.) You won't be able to become Emperor. Being Dragonborn doesn't mean anything anymore. The Mede may even have a better divine claim themself. There are over candidates with better claims and the Mede also are still alive.

@mooseradcliffe7336 7 ай бұрын

Civil War isn't planned for cyrodiil, they have enough problems going on. The politics of the region are in shambles and suffering from Post-Great War woes. What the other said is also accurate. It would be boring to become a beurocrat anyway, you think they'd allow the emperor to gallavant about a bunch of dusty places catching diseases and stab wounds? And yes, dragons in general are going to be scripted, special encounters across the provinces.
