Your right on this one but someone told that in oblivion that one mission you use tiber septims(Talos) blood to open a gate. So that means he must be a divine right... No wrong i believe his blood is divine because he is dragonborn not a divine. His bloods is only divine not him because other dragonborns created by Akatosh didnt become gods so why would he? The other Divines refer to themselves as the Nine. His shrine gives a legitimate blessing. Being Dragonborn is unique, but doesn't grant divinity (hence the others with the status of Dragonborn not being Divine). You don't become a Daedric Prince because you've gained (for example) Nightengale Strife. Talos rose to godhood because of his deeds, not his blood. Well that means anyone can rise to godhood right. So thats why i dont believe he is a god. Cus that means that any mortal who has done alot of good deeds can be a god. Anyone probably can, but it's highly unlikely. They probably choose a new God if there's a new need to be filled. Talos may have filled a need that didn't exist before and was the mortal who most embodied that position. Also, no one knows for sure if a God can or can't kill another, so if they ever have a disagreement and one dies, they may need to replace him/her (although that hasn't happened yet). It's not a new concept to have a mortal become a God. In the God of War series, Kratos went from Warrior of the gods to god killer to God of War (before being dethroned). It may also be possible to get a majority rule and "vote" to have a od depowered simular to what the Q Continuum did to Q in Star Trek.
