The Neravarine never killed Vivec. Even though I did. Not every possible sidequest/outcome must be followed in the canon ending of the games. It's up to Beth in the end to decide what happened and what didn't. Chances are the Emperor is murdered either way, and there's a good chance that no matter what, the murderer is left as a vague "Dark Brotherhood Assassin" so you can pretend you did it, or pretend you didn't. In reality though, this game is completely irrelevant in the grand scope of things rofl. If TES:VI doesn't take place shortly after Skyrim then there will be a huge gap in our perception of what has happened as far as large events go since we started playing during Arena. The Thalmor are not hugely affected by -anything- you do in the game, unless it's revealed that the Dragonborn rode Parathanuax into the Summerset Isles and bit the heads off all the Altmer. It's very likely that the next main series TES game will take place not long after Skyrim to tidy up the whole Thalmor invasion plotline. Otherwise GG bethesda I'm quitting playing your series because you introduced a huge plot crux and failed to let us resolve it.
