Ok, so roughly 95% of all games have a final boss, and any self respecting RPG has a final boss. The only TES game I have played is MW and it had Dagoth Ur, Bloodmoon had Hircine, and Tribunal had Almalexia.

So the point I am trying to make here is: has there been any news on a final boss in OB? If not then this is the thread to discuss ideas for final bosses for OB.

As far as I know nothing has been said, but I'm thinkin' it'll probaly be some daedra.

"in the realm of takhasis godess of evil raistlin strives ever closer to her powerfull presense,with spells running through his mind that can alter time and level cities can he defeat her?No only if he brings her to the plane of mortals......who will be defeated".

i dont see how you could defeat the boss in a game like this as any but a wizard of great power unless whoever your are is blessed and everything thing he carries is an objuect of great power and legend.

Like the first dragonlances

Dagoth Ur, Hircine, and Amalexia weren't final bosses. Final bosses are for games, RPG or not, that force you to go in a single direction.

Though, I do have a feeling that at some point or another you'll be fighting the heir. The story to Oblivion seems way too basic-- The Emperor dies, bad stuff happens, so you find his heir- but let's say that the Heir is an idiot and one way or another you're tasked with killing him and you become the new Emperor.

Remember, Bethesda simply said that you were not the heir. They never went beyond that to imply that you weren't the new ruler. And knowing Bethesda, they're bound to put our character on the spotlight somehow.

i know that, i just used the term 'final boss' to keep things simple.

Iif they made me the emperor there would be chaos.so i hope they let you.

They can't make you the emperor, they'd have to be able to write the name of the new ruler into the time-line. Notice in every game you always play an unknown hero, or a hero who's name is replaced by a title.

Possibly a daedric prince will be the final one (maybe even depening on which factions you sided with on the main quest). Though most likely they will give us a good suprsise.

Notice that in the time line alligned with Morrowind, they never refer to the nevarine as "The Khajiit Thief, S'Murkel" or "The Dunmer Mage, Gindrellis Telvanni". They refer to him as "A child, born on an uncertain day to uncertain parents, ignorant of the role he was to play in that nations history". How much harder could it be to do that for an Emperor? "An unknown prisoner tasked with finding the Emperor's lost heir, and failed, but ended up taking the seat on the throne of Tamriel." It's true that you always have a title, but in this game it could easily be "Emperor", "Prisoner", or even "Daedraslayer".

Like the water dragon goddess person from Jade Empire said: "Names only exist so that people can point and say "that is mine"." They don't matter, especially in the TES series.

i love that game.

and i seriously hope that Bethesda gives us a REALLY good plot twist somewhere along the way. going to oblivion and fighting a daedric prince in a "final battle to the death" would be a bit cliche'd. i'm hoping for either a massive final battle between people and daedra with you caught ight in the midst of it. or.... damn, forgot what i was going to say....

If you've played Fable for the Xbox, you probably remember how on the last level they took you through a series of areas you'd already visited, but during a huge battle. They should do that; a Lord of the Rings scale battle would be perfect for Oblivion.

Well we know in the end you close the gates to Oblivion. I would really be disappointed if the plot twist involved the heir being evil. It's overdone.

I agree with that. But the battle in Fable in my opinion was terrible, it seemed less like a battle and more like a bunch of monsters teleporting around.

Hey guys, I figured out who the final boss is.

It's Jygallag, a massive emperor mudcrab with an amry of cliffracers.

Heck yea, I just beat it on PC, I just trained all the mosters from zone to zone, didn't even bother killing them, then the last boss took me like 4 hits with magic arrow to beat. I seriously hope I have one heck of a challenge with oblivions boss.

ROFL I would not kill him but make him a palace because he would be the best boss ever! granted I do still suck with the morrowind construction set....

How about this crazy twist: You are the Emperor and you died in the beginning of the game. You were dead the whole time. And only the heir can see you.

Heroes are like fires, they bright brightly for a time, then are gone, leaving little behind.

Emperors are well documented, and long lasting, they stay in the public eye far longer.

Thus making the PC the emperor would, well, not work very well. Besides, I doubt a theif would want to be emperor. Or something like that. Hero, well, circumstances can coarce them into a short term role such as that. Emperor, no.

There are better qualified people out there for the Job.

In the timeline they refer very little to the heroes. Remember when in daggerfall you chose between 6 different endings? The timeline had to invent a "warp of the west" which described how the hero's final decision was unknown, but somehow the positive ending for each group came to be. Now imagine that... with an Emperor. Everyone's character is different, with different personalities effecting their decisions.

Like Aki said, it can be done with a nameless hero, not with an Emperor. Also, I highly doubt the heir will betray you. That's an incredibly dumb twist. A much better twist would be... if Jygallag ended up being the main villain.

wft is Jlaygg?

I have no idea what Jlaygg is.

Well, Jygallag sucks then.

Oh I beg to differ! That would be the coolest boss almost a shame we would kill him

In truth Jygallag is the Daedric Prince of Opacity, as in we have absolutely no idea what he looks like or his origins or what he stands for, he's never made an appearance, he's never been summoned, but he's a Daedric Prince, and I happen to think his' a massive Emperor Mudcrab with an army of Cliff-racers, and he's the Daedric Prince of Annoyance.

Well, then I guess what you decribed him as is suiting. I think he'll be a character with 10 hours of dialog that you can't skip past. And he talkes like Ben Stein with add.

if its the daedric prince of annoyance then it should be a ombination of:

-A giant Mudcrab with an army of Cliffracers
-That has ten hours of unskippable dialogue
-Every time you hit him your game freezes and when it freezes you're on the ground dead

and that has the voice of, no I wont change the subjet that is an annoying boss though

I wouldn't make him that hard. Maybe every time you hit him you are knocked down, your fatigue becomes 0 and you are blinded by a factor of 99, experience health and magicka degeneration for 30 seconds, as well as getting every common and blight disease.

No it will be Silann, Daedric Prince of prolixity!

FINAL BOSS!




(It took some digging to find that one again)

And it seems we've uncovered a long lost photo of Jygallag! It was only a fragment of the Daedric Prince's image but I did the best I could.


Jygallag, Daedric Prince of Opacity.

Although MW on the whole is non-linear, I find the quests, especially the mainquest, to be very linear. Dagoth Ur, Hircine, and Amalexia were final bosses for their respective quests. So, I expect to see a 'final boss' for the end of the main quest in OB.

The whole annoying boss with the cliff racers, unskippable dialogue, game freezing, fatigue and magic draining, only needs to be killed by a certain trivial item, like a friggin dwemer puzzle box, or a dagoth cup, that took you forever to find in the first place, then sold to a merchant, forgot who you sold it to, found it, then stashed it in a storage chest, to find out later that the computer randomly reset the chest to its original configuration - empty. Then, go to the forums to hear the ever sound advice of 'just load a previously saved game'. Gee, thanks, hadn't thought of that. Oh, wait, just use the console command blah blah blah... Sure would be nice to have a console..FOR MY XBOX. No, I'm not bitter....

Man... some good people died in the making of this shot.... For instance the tiny running man. He didn't make it that much farther than that....

I hope silaan will be more.....boss-ish when we finally get to see him, maybe he took The Heir prisoner to ensure the successful deadric assault. And you have to infiltrate Oblivion to get him back, that surely would be cooler than calling out some farm boy in the middle of his daily tasks.

This boss better have some tricks up his sleeve.

Not just him, but also two of his buddies that are just ouside the shot.

Exactly... poor men....

And besides what could be more boss-ish than two giant feet!.

Three giant feet...

And what orientation would the giant foot be? Would it be a right foot or a left foot? What if it was born with its parents thinking it was a right foot but then at the tender age of 22 it realized after a romantic run-in with a fella named Steve that it was, in fact, a left foot. Then what? Imagine all the therapy. It's family would disown it. Soulseeker, you want to be responsible for that because you want a third foot? If I had a glove on, I'd take it off and slap you with it.

Three feet... the nerve.

What if it was a middle foot?

ROFL!


I thought that right after I read doomed's post...

There are no middle foots. Being a middle foot is just a rest-stop on the way the left-foot land.

besides a middle foot would throw of any balance and would simply be a hindrance.

feet must always come in pairs.

okay fine.... I give up...


4 feet

Yeah soulseeker, god, what were you thinking?

What if its big toe was in the middle?

What if it was only for kicking? You're sitting there fighting him and you're all like, "good, two feet on the ground, I'm safe from kicking," and then BAM!!! the third foot comes out of nowhere kicks you in the face.


I'm sorry, I actually hung out with people yesterday... it rotted my brain.

I hang out with people everyday and my brain is fine.

But seriously now, maybe if we had the third foot actually just be a third leg without any toes or anything and could possibly just hang there harmlessly between the other two legs.

i hope Bethesda make a more compelling story-line! I have yet to follow the story-line in MW as it i way too boring

How far into it did you get? 'Cause I thought that until I actually finished it.

xstoryline sort of took dives at certain points but all in all was great.

lol i must have posted that on thursday cuz i beat the game after the weekend wuz over! it was a compelling storyline. i dont like traveling and i went to molag mar up north through all the remaining nerevarine camps!

Told ya it was good
