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.

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.

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.... blink.gif
