The Elder Scrolls Future

1)Except everything isn't true because its based on what you thought. The game isn't validating your choices, you are because they give you room to.
2)You are saying that because they are a duality, they are the same entity. It is like saying because batman represents order and joker represents chaos, they are the same entity. They aren't they are two different entities that are facets of a duality. All of the gods in Elder scrolls are like this and they are different entities.
3)Except Shivering Isles removed the direct connection between Sheogorath and Lorkhan. Lorkhan has no connection with the change of Jygalag because it took place long after the start of the mythic era when the aedra were cut off from the daedra. The Lorkhan/Sheo connection is only brought up in a few books.
4)According to only some of the devs. The way you view the events in the game are your choice because these devs didn't make their opinions apart of cannon. There is no RELIABLE source in game that says that everything is true.

Except it is true because the game IS MADE SPECIFICALLY to be whatever you think as true. the entire game's design is to validate any possible actions one may have taken.

No, it is a singularity observed as a duality. It is more akin to the relation between Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego Batman, that people see them as two different beings because they dont know they are the same, but that doesn't change the fact they are the same. Like space and time, which Lorkhan and Akatosh are, it is the limitations of the mortal mind that causes them to APPEAR as two when they are really one.

Seriously you are arguing the word of a Bethesda developer, the man who wrote Mankar Cameron's speech in Oblivion, the man who wrote Knights of the Nine, and the man who basically wrote Morrowind. It really doesn't matter if you dont think it makes sense or not, he says it is and thus it is. they even make mention of it in both Oblivion and Skyrim.

If you REALLY dont believe me go onto the official lore forums for the ES series and ask if Akatosh and Lorkhan are the same. Everyone will say yes they are.

Here is a link to the forms right here, seriously go there and ask.

And no all the gods are NOT like that in the ES series. Only Akatosh and Lorkhan have this singular seen as dual nature.

Lorkhan is not bound to Mundus as the other gods are, a part of him, known as Sithis, rests in the void. Furthermore his death caused part of him to be flung from the mortal realm and attach itself to the being of chaos that Jyggy was turned into.

Actually it is according to the devs in general, the Devs have said in multiple interviews and on the official lore furors that all these contradictory versions of the gods wxist. That it is not said in the game is irrelevant.

You are totally missing the point of the Es universe.

Wow. And here I thought I knew plenty about the lore of TES. It's probably the most complicated universe I've ever heard of.

The whole duality of the Aedra, though, kind of makes sense. Each god takes on a persona of whatever each culture wishes them to be - hence, gods being both similar and different to the different races. I'd like to see more of that in the games, actually. All the more reason for a continuation of the Aldmeri wars - their own version of Talos. Does their disputing him mean that they are disowning their version of the god? Or am I missing the point entirely here?

But way back to my idea about the Dwemer returning, I've read up on this further. The Numidium was used by Tiber Septim to conquer the Aldmeri far back in the second era - and it succeeded. After Morrowind, the actual state of the machine is unknown. It's like a repeat in history - perhaps the machine will be used to conquer the elves again?
