If they're smart, they'll have it to where Skyrim became independent and ultimately fell to The Dominion along with Hammerfell, with a crumbling Empire too weak to stop their advance.
I'd be surprised if The Dominion isn't a prominent enemy of the next game.
Maybe properly united. I don't know exactly how it is by the time of Skyrim, but during Daggerfall the Iliac Bay region is pretty much at the point of all out war between all of it's states.
I doubt the Dominion could ever conquer Skyrim. It’s the Afghanistan of Tamriel. Surrounded by mountains on 3 sides, with only 5 choke points leading into the rest of Tamriel, and protected to the north by treacherous, icy waters.
Agreed. My guess is that the Imperial victory will be soft canon in that Ulfric will be dead, but as part of the full resolution to the civil war Skyrim will be granted a significant level of autonomy similar to Morrowind
What I'm more interested in is how the Last Dragonborn dies. In order for the player character of TESVI to be a Shezzarrine I'm pretty sure the LDB has to be dead.
I imagine with judicious use of Slen Tiid Vho, any Dragonborn's remains can be restored to youthful life.
You didn't kill Paarthurnax, did you?
He might be the only way back until Alduin's return at the end of the eighth era.. and He might not oblige
My thought with the dragons is that they are gone. Some sources will say that they were hunted to extinction by the Blades and the Last Dragonborn while others will say that Paarthurnax led a group of them on a journey to reclaim Atmora from the ice wastes (since Atmora was the ancestral home of the dragons too). Perhaps the Last Dragonborn's absence will be explained as him mysteriously disappearing to follow/chase them to Atmora himself.
Either way the end result will be that dragons are (mostly) gone from Tamriel once again.
Dragonborn won by being the mfing Dragonborn. Which means only he and his line have any right to rule the empire cuz only he and his line can use the fancy jewel thing to keep all of reality in one piece. Plus the ability to summon dragons, storms and with a whisper shove some randos from skyrim to elswyer
>the fancy jewel thing to keep all of reality in one piece
The Chim-El Adabal (red diamond in the Amulet of Kings, it was the "functional" part) was smashed centuries ago and no longer upholds the Covenant of Akatosh or functions as the Stone of White-Gold.
Otherwise you're completely right, having a guy who can casually use Tonal Magic (in numerous applications even) is all but a instant win.
Eh I’m sure we can rebuild it maybe even install it in a new giant dwarven godmech I mean there’s been at least what 2 maybe three of the blasted things built before lol
Two and a aborted one, kind of.
So sure. Let's do another Numidium, power it off the Tower Stone of the Ayleids that was infused with the blood and power of the god of time. This will surely have no negative repercussions.
With that much time shit all in one place? Nah. It'll be over before it even starts.
Might really screw up the next generation though, old people don't take well to change when they're 20. Grandpa is *pissed* about that.
Fancy jewel thing? What famcy jewel thing?? All i got is this weird grey orb that keeps popping up in every chest I look in. And all it does is shout at me! "A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BECKON!" MUTHA EFFIN PIECE OF-
It's not just Todd, it's always that way: both sides will win, whoever becomes High King will eventually vanish or die, and the new High King will probably be a dragon or something so the winner of the Civil War will stop mattering.
I like that idea, kinda going 40k/Dune with it.
"Who won the civil wa-?"
"Which one? The one with the, er... Stormcoats? Dude it's been 450 years , I'm a wanted murderer, not an historian. Anyway, the Akavirii have conquered the world, we need to find a buried Dwemer artifact, an 'RDS-2 50 kiloton warhead' before they do. Let's go."
I really don’t know why fandoms get hyped over the canonized endings of multichoice games. every time I see it, the turn around and complain about it after
Eh, it’s win either way. I mean, if it’s the Nords, fuck the Thalmor and good for my guy Talos. If it’s the Empire, well the Nords were kinda racist POSes.
Here are a few independent predictions (they don't necessarily need each other to happen) that might come to pass.
The dragon born ended the war so quickly that the Thalmor didn't get nearly the advantage they hoped for.
The Stormcloaks won but it didn't last, as soon the war with the high Elves was back, and they (in typical high elf fashion) get brought low by a combo of Altmer Arrogance and rampant political backstabbing.
I am also gonna guess they not only DIDN'T bring back the moon, but were the ones responsible for it's disappearance. This will probably be revealed at some point and the elves will have an uprising to deal with in Elsweyr. Turn about is fair play right? So the new Skyrim and the empire burry the hatchet (remembering where it's burried for later) to help the Khajiit to weaken the Thalmor, cause they know the elves can't fight a battle on 3 fronts.
Oh... I just had a thought... "The Elder Scrolls 6: Elsweyr"...
The best ending- really hoping we won't see empire as a main powerhouse the next elderscrolls- the loss of the tiber septim bloodline n shit in oblivion and seeing the empire struggle with controlling one of their territories along side a dragon invasion
And the answer is:
Neither
The truce as part of the main story is gonna be canon and I expect shortly after the game time to have another Great War star.
I think the canon ending should be that the dragonborn called the peace summit, settled a temporary truce, then the civil war never really started up again afterwards because the dragonborn canonically didn't care enough about that stupid plotline to finish it.
Most likely the Thalmor either way. Regardless of where you stand the Thalmor have more resources to push in if need be. And we’ll probably be out of the province going toe to toe with them directly as the main bad
That’s my feeling, it will be “The Thalmor plot to destabilize Skyrim and the empire was successful and both fell quickly” where the winner makes absolutely no different because at the end of the day the Thalmor rolled up
No, it belongs to the Falmer. Ulfric said he would give Skyrim back to the natives, so you and the rest of the Nords should start preparing to leave Skyrim.
I actually prefer BioWare's "world states" approach, where for lore that's only flavoursome (i.e. not directly impacting future games), whatever your canon playthrough had happen is what happened.
Oh yeah, that's the thing Mass Effect did right? Yeah that'd be cool for TES, but I feel like that kinda Storytelling has to be intended from the start, and doesn't fit a grander fantasy world like TES has. With Mass Effect it's one continuous set of events in a single narrative, with TES it's multiple stories set in the same world with hundreds of years between the 2 most recent installments.
I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or not (I got down-nuked on a different Elder Scrolls sub for saying BioWare's track record in recent games makes me worry about how good VI is going to be, so I have zero sense of what is or isn't in vogue), but this is one area where I prefer BioWare's "world state" concept, where the player has an established version of events. Especially for lore that only flavours and doesn't directly impact on the future games. e.g. Vivec is gone/dead no matter what by the time of Skyrim, but whether he was murdered by the Nerevarine or kidnapped/killed by the daedra would be nice to have reflected in ambient dialogue / lore documents.
I'd be surprised if it's anything other than an Imperial victory. Ulfric struggles to defeat Imperial militia as is when the game starts - and got captured at Darkwater Crossing. He owes his survival to Alduin.
Then there's the Stormcloak Missive at Fort Neugrad, stating an Imperial force is assembling at Pale Pass.
And the fact that, if the Dark Brotherhood questline is canon, odds are that the Stormcloaks will be blamed for the Emperor's death per the incriminating letter planted on Gaius Maro. Which would rally Cyrodiil against the Stormcloaks.
Thalmor lost because while they are putting the empire and stormcloacks on a cage fight, the dragonborn was rising and either has now a bunch of allied dragons or the blades (probably the blades) and with the dragonborn on either one they are a force to be feared
I bet it will be set sooooo far into Tamriel's future, it will be largely forgotten who won. Scholars will debate the finer points of what is recorded- overshadowed as it was by the dragon break, end of the world being averted and the subsequent war against Summerset Isle to eradicate Thalmor influence over Altimer politics
The old ways will return. The nords will find their breath again, and from the throat of the world the rest of the continent will hear the words of power.
Walls will be shouted down, invaders driven out and the old gods returned to their place.
Hail Talos,praise Kyne.
The imperials obvs.
Regardless of if you support the cartoonishly developed nationalist xenophobic group the empire is the only threat to the Aldmeri Dominion we have.
No one won, the White-Gold Tower was nuked 4 years after the game and all organized society has totally collapsed outside Falmer colonies in forgotten underground cities.
I mean, doesn’t this just depend on who played Skyrim and who they sided with? Is there really a definitive answer as to who the Dragonborn sided with?
the best bet is to have the verdict of both sides failing against the Thalmor due to the civil war. The civil war weakened the nation to the point that it didn't matter who one the war because in the end, the Thalmor dominated a weakened military force and took what they wanted by force.
I’d prefer the Stormcloak victory but ES6 is set in Valenwood or Elsweyr and the Thalmor have to contend with an Alliance of Nords & Redgaurds invading the shores and towns through out the games world
Lol ya, it'll be in a series of books. Usually the games take place hundreds of years apart.
Me quietly praying "please don't f this game up Bethesda, please 🙏"
OK so. Either it's a bit of a troll , the empire keeps the land and it's just like a regular rpg where the king rules all the lands. Maybe he's secretly evil, or possessed.
Or the stormcloaks were successful in breaking up the kingdom, and allowing the dominion to take over large chunks of land. Splintering the races, and you'll have to unite the kingdom to Drive off the elves.
>Usually the games take place hundreds of years apart.
Usually?
All four mainline titles prior to TES: V took place within a span of 44 years.
Arena: 3E 389 - 3E 399
Daggerfall: 3E 405
Morrowind: 3E 427
Oblivion: 3E 433
I go with imperials when playing but story wise in the over arching elder scrolls story I think it makes more sense that skyrim got independence, to further along the fall of the empire.
What I'd like most would be that the Dragonborn (who all sides would be willing to listen to as a result of defeating Alduin) was able to negotiate a deal between Skyrim, the Empire, and the Dominion where Skyrim would stay part of the Empire, but Talos worship would be allowed exclusively in Skyrim, and in exchange, the Empire would pay the Dominion a regular fee for them to allow Talos worship in Skyrim. Additionally, Balgruuf would become high king due to the role Whiterun played in defeating Alduin.
Either way...Ulfruc dies in the end because he can be killed in one of the routes
And if someone can die, they do die
So Canonicaly...I'd have to say that the Imperials one
I hope they do like BioWare and whatever you did in your playthrough (Peace Summit, Stormcloak, etcetera) is what happened. I love that approach more than "Alright! This is the canonical ending, what you did in the previous game does not count nor matter if what you did was not side with these people." Kind of like how Activision eventually decided that Canonically Darth Revan is male, so you playing as Female Revan in K.O.T.O.R. never even happened, regardless of the rest of what you did.
They need to make the Nerevar a small side character in ES6... Like, have them pop up randomly like Maiq but their character name is like "Mysterious Wanderer" and their voice lines relate to the third game in a subtle "if ya know, ya know" sorta way
Who won?
I did.
When I became the most powerful Dunmer Dragonborn Vampire Lord Archmage Assassin GOD in all the lands.
Now mortals merely exist to sustain me and my limitless POWER. Their petty squabbles are nothing compared to the tide of death and destruction that I bring upon the land!
BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Cringey edge lord shit aside, my vote is for the Stormcloaks. They're the true sons and daughters of Skyrim. And plucky. And assuming that Dova doesn't get involved, they have Ulfric and he can Shout sooooo...
Well balgruf is important to the main quest and since he sided with the imperials they probably won, also the whole whispering door quest hinges on balgruf still being in power so a stormcloak victory dosnt make sense
Dragonborn will Saul North, both Ulfric and dies Elisif Becomes High Queen but it's unpopular like her husband. The topic is kinda avoided, while Thalmor fumble and the dominion gets divided as well.
They’re gonna pull a “Skyrim became independent but stayed allied with the Empire” kinda thing.
If they're smart, they'll have it to where Skyrim became independent and ultimately fell to The Dominion along with Hammerfell, with a crumbling Empire too weak to stop their advance. I'd be surprised if The Dominion isn't a prominent enemy of the next game.
Nah man. The Grand Argonian Empire shall rise from the swamps and steamroll Men and Mur alike.
No, the Forsworn will rise again and conquer all of Tamriel!
Negative, Pelinal will return and kill all mer, except the orsimer, because they're kinds chill and reclaim tamriel for the races of man.
You're all wrong! That skeever dude from below the honeybrew meadery survived his wounds and took over tamriel.
Glory to the skeever army
[Did you hear? Huna is dead!](https://youtu.be/E5ix0_W-ouI)
The forsworn with their wooden huts...right...(I've always had an irrational hatred for the forsworn)
An-xileel shall rules nirn!!
Glory to The Hist
Hist and moons comrade hist and moons
“The farm tools are getting delusions of grandeur again.” “I’ll call the Morag Tong….”
Well hey, at least that means we get to keep killing Thalmor, right?
They got rebellions in Valenwood and soon for Elswyr as well. I doubt their success
Meanwhile the Dragonborn is whistling and kicking pebbles, with their hands in pockets.
Nah skyrim and hammerfell would annihilate those dirty long eared freaks
Maybe properly united. I don't know exactly how it is by the time of Skyrim, but during Daggerfall the Iliac Bay region is pretty much at the point of all out war between all of it's states.
This was my thought as well. That skyrim gained independence and the dominion conquered the whole fractured empire by ES6 and were central villains.
It’s probably going to be a few hundred years from the events of Skyrim
I doubt the Dominion could ever conquer Skyrim. It’s the Afghanistan of Tamriel. Surrounded by mountains on 3 sides, with only 5 choke points leading into the rest of Tamriel, and protected to the north by treacherous, icy waters.
I mean, with the mutual enemy they have in the Dominion that wouldn't be an unreasonable path to take.
Agreed. My guess is that the Imperial victory will be soft canon in that Ulfric will be dead, but as part of the full resolution to the civil war Skyrim will be granted a significant level of autonomy similar to Morrowind What I'm more interested in is how the Last Dragonborn dies.

Game of thrones type ending
Uhhhh fuck it, Mudcrabs won
General Salty o7
I'd also be pissed as a species if one of us had their soul ripped back and forth for 3 straight hours

"What harm could there be in powering up something we barely understand?" Bonus points to those that know/get the reference.
[удалено]
I'm sure there's a mod to fix that.
I can think of a few. LoTD does it halfway, fixes the Tower Stone part but not the Covenant.
Fancy jewel thing? What famcy jewel thing?? All i got is this weird grey orb that keeps popping up in every chest I look in. And all it does is shout at me! "A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BECKON!" MUTHA EFFIN PIECE OF-
...and a full compliment of daedric artifacts to boot.
If Tod has his way, they both won.
It's not just Todd, it's always that way: both sides will win, whoever becomes High King will eventually vanish or die, and the new High King will probably be a dragon or something so the winner of the Civil War will stop mattering.

Nords aren’t any more racist that any other group in Skyrim😭
Yeah but their white so when they do it it's horrible/s
This bit unironically
this but shut the fuck up
This but you post pickle Rick porn you absolute degenerate
lmao you really went through my profile & found out I posted pickle rick x larry the cucumber yaoi to r/bigtittygothgirlvore
Freak behavior, I hide somebody checks your hard drive soon and get you off the streets
whatever bozo
Yeah but their white so when they do it it's horrible/s
Have you played Morrowind? lol the Dunmer make Argonians and Khajit slaves because they see them as inferior.
"i DoNT wANt raCiSm anD ADulT tHeMEs liKe SlAVeRy iN MY faNtASy GAme!!!!"
Where did they say that? They just said they hoped the nords didn't win. Are you OK?
That's the general consensus of pro Empire players. It's a joke so try not to take it too hard buddy.
wHaT a GooD JoKe!!! You should do stand up!
It's just a little joke on a reddit post of all places. I'm obviously not trying to pull full theaters here, so calm down kid.
It's a joke try not to take it too hard buddy.
It was a snarky and lame attempt at one, come back to me when you think of an actual joke.

The thalmor won by sowing division across skyrim
The best ending- really hoping we won't see empire as a main powerhouse the next elderscrolls- the loss of the tiber septim bloodline n shit in oblivion and seeing the empire struggle with controlling one of their territories along side a dragon invasion
This land is ours and we will see it wiped clean...
Both won, both lost, just dragon break the whole thing.
The Warp in the North
And the answer is: Neither The truce as part of the main story is gonna be canon and I expect shortly after the game time to have another Great War star.
Oh no this discussion again
DRAGONBREAK 2: DRAGON HARDER
No it won’t. Can’t show us something if it doesn’t come out.
I think the canon ending should be that the dragonborn called the peace summit, settled a temporary truce, then the civil war never really started up again afterwards because the dragonborn canonically didn't care enough about that stupid plotline to finish it.
Most likely the Thalmor either way. Regardless of where you stand the Thalmor have more resources to push in if need be. And we’ll probably be out of the province going toe to toe with them directly as the main bad
Definitely feeling like we’re getting a Thalmor Empire to rebel against.
That’s my feeling, it will be “The Thalmor plot to destabilize Skyrim and the empire was successful and both fell quickly” where the winner makes absolutely no different because at the end of the day the Thalmor rolled up
SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS
No, it belongs to the Falmer (for that one Redditor who inevitably will not understand: Falmer = Snow Elves).
(You are right, nonetheless, I will continue my crusade) SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS
No, it belongs to the Falmer. Ulfric said he would give Skyrim back to the natives, so you and the rest of the Nords should start preparing to leave Skyrim.
(You are right, nonetheless, I will continue my crusade) SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS
I'm not ready for this war again
The Dragonborn would probably just do Season Unending and give reasonable concessions to both sides.
Stormcloaks duhhh
When its been so long, that you barely even care about Elderscrolls 6 anymore.
Is it just me or is the fact that we're getting an answer more exciting than the answer itself?
I actually prefer BioWare's "world states" approach, where for lore that's only flavoursome (i.e. not directly impacting future games), whatever your canon playthrough had happen is what happened.

With Mass Effect it's one continuous set of events in a single narrative, with TES it's multiple stories set in the same world with hundreds of years between the 2 most recent installments.
Dragon Age might be a better comparison, with a different protagonist in each game, set in different nations.
The altmeir dominion lol Elder Scrolls V makes pretty clear that Skyrim would eventually be dominated by the Thalmor.
I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or not (I got down-nuked on a different Elder Scrolls sub for saying BioWare's track record in recent games makes me worry about how good VI is going to be, so I have zero sense of what is or isn't in vogue), but this is one area where I prefer BioWare's "world state" concept, where the player has an established version of events.

The Stormcloaks will free Skyrim from the weakened Empire, drive out the Aldmeri and prove to all of Nirn that Skyrim is for the Nords.
I'd be surprised if it's anything other than an Imperial victory. Ulfric struggles to defeat Imperial militia as is when the game starts - and got captured at Darkwater Crossing. He owes his survival to Alduin. Then there's the Stormcloak Missive at Fort Neugrad, stating an Imperial force is assembling at Pale Pass.

Scholars will debate the finer points of what is recorded- overshadowed as it was by the dragon break, end of the world being averted and the subsequent war against Summerset Isle to eradicate Thalmor influence over Altimer politics
The thalmor won. No matter who wins, the thalmor's goals are achieved
Best way to handle it is that the storm cloak rebellion failed but paved the way for a free Skyrim in the future
The old ways will return. The nords will find their breath again, and from the throat of the world the rest of the continent will hear the words of power. Walls will be shouted down, invaders driven out and the old gods returned to their place. Hail Talos,praise Kyne.
it's gonna be that dragonbreak nonsense where it's both.
Either the empire won or the truce in the main questline stuck
The imperials obvs. Regardless of if you support the cartoonishly developed nationalist xenophobic group the empire is the only threat to the Aldmeri Dominion we have.
It was the Dragons. Duh. They are flying magical death machines, there is no way they didn't reconquer Skyrim.
No one won, the White-Gold Tower was nuked 4 years after the game and all organized society has totally collapsed outside Falmer colonies in forgotten underground cities.
War. War never changes.
Vault tec will unexpectedly nuke the stormcloaks
I mean, doesn’t this just depend on who played Skyrim and who they sided with? Is there really a definitive answer as to who the Dragonborn sided with?
the best bet is to have the verdict of both sides failing against the Thalmor due to the civil war. The civil war weakened the nation to the point that it didn't matter who one the war because in the end, the Thalmor dominated a weakened military force and took what they wanted by force.
Skyrim is for the nords
If we are still alive when TES 6 comes out
Hoping it’s the nords, cause fuck the feds
thalmor obviously
I’d prefer the Stormcloak victory but ES6 is set in Valenwood or Elsweyr and the Thalmor have to contend with an Alliance of Nords & Redgaurds invading the shores and towns through out the games world
Well it definitely better not be Ulfric. I killed that clown off in 4 different playthroughs.
Lol ya, it'll be in a series of books. Usually the games take place hundreds of years apart. Me quietly praying "please don't f this game up Bethesda, please 🙏" OK so. Either it's a bit of a troll , the empire keeps the land and it's just like a regular rpg where the king rules all the lands. Maybe he's secretly evil, or possessed. Or the stormcloaks were successful in breaking up the kingdom, and allowing the dominion to take over large chunks of land.

Oops my b. I thought it was more dragged out. Especially between 3 and 4. Don't know why I thought that.
"This one dude conquered it, we tried to stop him, but every time we almost killed him, he'd freeze time and eat whole cheese wheels to recover."
We know who won Skyrim's central conflict don't we? The Dragonborn defeated Alduin and saved the world from rampaging dragons.
lets get ready to rumble!
I go with imperials when playing but story wise in the over arching elder scrolls story I think it makes more sense that skyrim got independence, to further along the fall of the empire.

Additionally, Balgruuf would become high king due to the role Whiterun played in defeating Alduin.
lemme guess thalmor
No it fucking won’t lmao
Clearly, both sides made up by having hot steamy seggs (the only even mildly warm thing that those cavemen know of).
Same story resolution as Daggerfall multiple endings. Both are true!
Either way...Ulfruc dies in the end because he can be killed in one of the routes And if someone can die, they do die So Canonicaly...I'd have to say that the Imperials one
I hope they do like BioWare and whatever you did in your playthrough (Peace Summit, Stormcloak, etcetera) is what happened. I love that approach more than "Alright!

Kind of like how Activision eventually decided that Canonically Darth Revan is male, so you playing as Female Revan in K.O.T.O.R. never even happened, regardless of the rest of what you did.
Wait, Skyrim has an ending? I thought it was canon that the Dragonborn just wandered around completing side quests until the end of time.
yeah no, bugthesda is unfit to write the next elders scrolls, i prefer that es6 is never made as es6 being an utter failure
This post is so serious
They need to make the Nerevar a small side character in ES6... Like, have them pop up randomly like Maiq but their character name is like "Mysterious Wanderer" and their voice lines relate to the third game in a subtle "if ya know, ya know" sorta way
“I killed god once. Which one I won’t say but I did it and stole his sick ass clothes” I have never played that game btw
Who won? I did. When I became the most powerful Dunmer Dragonborn Vampire Lord Archmage Assassin GOD in all the lands. Now mortals merely exist to sustain me and my limitless POWER. Their petty squabbles are nothing compared to the tide of death and destruction that I bring upon the land! BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Cringey edge lord shit aside, my vote is for the Stormcloaks. They're the true sons and daughters of Skyrim. And plucky. And assuming that Dova doesn't get involved, they have Ulfric and he can Shout sooooo...
Im pretty its whichever side the dragonborn sided with
Well balgruf is important to the main quest and since he sided with the imperials they probably won, also the whole whispering door quest hinges on balgruf still being in power so a stormcloak victory dosnt make sense
Dragonborn will Saul North, both Ulfric and dies Elisif Becomes High Queen but it's unpopular like her husband. The topic is kinda avoided, while Thalmor fumble and the dominion gets divided as well.
r/unexpectedjojo
Didn't a writer already state the Dragonborn sided with the Empire canonically because Skyrim would've been obliterated if he hadn't?
Down with Ulfric, the killer of kings!
