This is (obviously) the fictional edition of my other hit thread, Name That Dead Guy!
This has similar rules to the other one but with a few changes to make things fair. You are not allowed to use a dead from a book/movie/whatever as your dead guy and say he's dead only because the book/movie/whatever takes place in a time that ensure's he's dead by now. If you're doing someone from, say Lord of the Rings or Elder Scrolls lore however, then that's a different story assuming that they're dead by the time of another book/game.
It's not a rule, but please be considerate of other people. If you have any decency then you won't pick a character from a new and trending show/movie/whatever (I.E. try not to spoil things).
People who are dead in the beginning of a crime solving show and have no real part are strictly prohibited as that would just be cruel.
The other rules are in the other thread which I linked to. I can't think of any other rules at the moment, if I do I'll post them.
Right, so I don't read all that much, there are only a few fictional things that interest me too terribly much and some of that will be pretty easy, and I don't want that, so I'll probably be sticking mostly to obscure (but not too obscure) Elder Scrolls characters. Whether they are just in lore or in the games.
I am thinking of a dead lady from the Elder Scrolls, not exactly obscure, but I rather doubt it'll be quickly guessed. For this one, I even allow you to use the Elder Scrolls wiki as an aid for your guessing. Good luck and good guessing!
Was he one of the first characters to die? Lokir of Rorikstead? Did he live or die depending on what faction you chose? Did he play an important role in the main campaign? How about the faction war between the Stormcloaks and Imperial Legion? Was he a member of an unjoinable faction? Was he from any of the DLCs? Can you have him as a follower? Was he a character who's there for the sole purpose of getting killed? Does he own a shop/can you buy or sell to him?
Does he even do anything? Is he a generic character (I.E. guard, Barr etc.)? Does he belong in a temple of sorts? Are you sure you should be using him if you don't even know if he's dead?
*Hint* You meet this character in a Main Quest, but just for a moment. Then, you never see this character again. Most people assume he died, and it is the most probable outcome, yet there is no proof for either his being alive or his dying.
Do you meet them in an inn?
Aren't a tavern and an inn pretty much the same thing in Skyrim ._. ?
Do they get to the Cloud District? Often? (Just Kidding.)
Is it the forge lady's (of whiterun) father? Is he that one guard who made it back to tell about the dragon at the tower near whiterun (assuming he has a name)? Was he in whiterun?
The one from Rorikstead who tried to run away and got shot did.
Lokir? Nope.
So, was it the prisoner you freed from the Thalmor Embassy?
Hmm. I forgot his name. But it isn't this one.
Is it the forge lady's (of whiterun) father?
That bas**rd, Proventus? Nope.
Is he that one guard who made it back to tell about the dragon at the tower near whiterun (assuming he has a name)?
This guard has no name, his tag just reads 'Whiterun Guard'.
*Hint* he was given a mission by another character (one which you already mentioned). He carried out this mission successfully, although it probably cost him his life.
