Idea on how to allow players use their Skyrim characters into Skywind and Skyblivion

Submitted by Fire-Storm-Dragon on

I have thought that the Dragonborn could get a letter from an unknown person that asks him/her to go where that person is in order to test a new spell. Then the player arrives and meets someone that claims to have find a way to see and live the lifes of the heroes of old and he is willing to let us be their first test subject.

That could then lead into us selecting into Heroe of Kvatch (Oblivion) and Nerevarine (Morrowind) as the only two options available, because those are the closest heroes mage managed to syncronize time with.

 

So once selected, player is hit with a spell and all blacks out, making Dragonborn awake and see the place of the timeline chosen, but time is stopped. At our side the ethereal form of the mage shows up and greets us for arriving well and then he gives us a book and two necklaces (one per timeline). Book teaches us the timeswap spell and the necklaces, or whatever token its chosen, sends us into the timeline we want.

[F.E: I'm at Dagoth Ur but I decide I want to go to Cyrodiil to fulfill another quest. I use the spell granted by book, I change Morrowind token for Cyrodiil's and I appear last place my character was on Oblivion. And if then I wanna go Skyrim, I just use spell with no token and I appear wherever i was in Skyrim]

 

I think that way lore can be kept.

Woah!

That's a great idea. I think we could even do that in some sort of secret warehouse, where your body is kept while your mind wanders into the past of heroes. 
We could call this device the  
ANuadic
Immersive
Memory
User
Service

So Animus, in short. 
You'd be assassinating the Templars from Knights of the Nine!

Awesome!

It's a cool idea, but I believe the Devs don't want to link Skyrim to either Skywind or skyblivion as they are remakes of the previous games, and will remain as such, so your Skyrim character won't get to be the Nereverine or the Hero of Kvatch. Perhaps someday a modder will put that wizard in ;)

I never understood why people want it all to be linked, just start a new character for gods sake and stop being lazy.

This is in our FAQ:

13. Q: Will I be able to travel between Skywind and Skyrim, and potentially keep my character?

 A:  Short answer is no. It wouldn't fit lore-wise, and the timelines are completely different. We're changing several things about how the class systems work, and the perk trees. This means that existing characters would have issue being transferred to Skywind. If this ever happens, it'll be because of modders making it possible.
