In the wake of skyrim, I chose (as most people probably did)to replay Oblivion. I downloaded a ton of quest mods and played my heart out. When I started it felt like skyrim was ages away, so I figured I could get all the new mod content out of the way and be bored by the time skyrim was released; not the case.
With skyrim less than a week away; and with at least 5 feature length mods to complete, I'm not going to be able to finish them all in time. In true role-play fashion, I feel my character (a wood elf jack-of-all-trades) needs to have a fitting end, a closing chapter, skyrim is 200 years later so the champion of Cyrodiil would have to be dead or have something else happen to him/her; thus I have two questions:
1. How do you think my character should die/leave the world
2. How did YOUR champions story end?
*EDIT*
After saving the world many times, the toll of such constant combat was starting to show on the champion; he was old. The champion retired...and travelled on a holiday to Bruma; where he met a beggar who promised him treasures beyond imagining (go figure). With his lack of retirement fund, the champion donned his armour for one final time and embarked on the beggars quest to retrieve an artefact known as the Heart of the Dead. Along the way the champion travelled with many new companions, faced new enemies and was tested both physically and mentally by Lorkhan and his puppet, Yurn. The champion realised that adventuring was all he knew; and decided to continue until his death, travelling with his new-found friends and the riches that would surely be his once he had acquired the heart of the dead.
However, just as his journey was closing, the champion was betrayed and forced to travel to the realm of the dead to combat lorkhan himself. Although physically the champion could handle it; and mentally it posed no challenge, being in the realm of the dead aged the champion beyond comprehension. When he returned victorious, he was 200 years older, older than even the oldest elves. The champion rested, and celebrated his victory; but with a heavy heart, for he knew that death was perched upon his shoulder and would claim him any day now.
That night, the champion dreamt of the future, he saw what was to come...he saw it all. The next morning, without a word to anyone, the champion departed to Dive Rock; the highest point in Cyrodiil. Standing atop the ledge, he looked at the land of Skyrim, gave a nod, smiled...and leapt off.
Thus ends the tale of the champion of cyrodiil; the prisoner who was given a magical trinket and told to save the world; the nobody who battled demons, gods and death itself, the common man...who became a legend.
