How do you resolve the champion issue in this story? Since the dragonborn already is a champion of meridia, is hircine interested because or in spite of the fact? Also, yes, I get it, im jumping the gun here [this might not be about being a champion at all], but I just wonder.
But im legit hoping the dawnguard has a presence in this story, since the drahonborn really could use some resto dmg spells.
I don’t want to spoil the story too much here, but I will say that while the Dragonborn has the Dawnbreaker, she chose to keep the sword but not spread the word of Meridia. I interpreted this as not becoming her Champion.
Other Daedric relics seem to always come with the price of being their Champion, having one’s soul promised to them. One either becomes a Champion to get the relic, or one leaves empty handed. With Meridia being one of the kinder Daedric Lords, I interpreted the situation that as long as the Dragonborn is cleansing the world of the undead, that’s good enough for Meridia, no Championship or soul needed, since either option to accept or reject Meridia still gives you Dawnbreaker.
I like the Dragonborn having this in her backstory as it’s her first interaction with a Daedric Lord before the story starts, and it was an overall positive experience (despite the heart attack she got upon “A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON!”). Now, the Dragonborn is a little too trusting of Daedric Lords, more naïve than she should be.
Ohh I very much like that Meridia explanation. So perhaps because DB is such a powerful healer, Meridia hopes she will come across a powerful warrior to heal, who might become the champion eventually, thus DB fulfilling a role other than the champ.
Good story, though I would have expected the heart attack to come when the necromancer in the sanctum casts the first ice storm. That is where I start crying, personally.
Cannot wait for DB to eventually just naturally become a stealth archer, cheers xD
I dunno, I have a bad feeling about this! XD Maybe think twice before taking up his offer!
Great character design! (I don't remember if this was a character that was in the game or not, but regardless looks cool! XD)
The Dragonborn never thinks twice. XD The Dragonborn just leaps before looking.
And glad you like the character design! Hircine only shows up in the game as a white stag, but Hircine has many different aspects/appearances and I wanted to create something new for this comic.
Because such a gift is not for free.
