the dragon brakes are interesting to me, particularly because i understand a little bit of theoretical physics, which makes the concept of dragon brakes a bit more profound. also, they make dragon brakes seemless, i mean, in TESO, the empire is gone, which makes whatever happened in skyrim (you killing the emperor, stormcloakswinneing, etc.) doesnt really matter, the only affect the dragonborn had in history was destoying alduin, stopping the dragons, and being the greatest of skyrims heros, which contributes to the nords's and the ebonheart alliance's crest, which is a dragon to honor the dragonborn. The only effects you really have on history is the main quest, the rest doesnt matter. they didnt need dragonbrakes, as nothing you did would really matter, but they mad dragonbrakes so that they had a new idea to work with that other games didnt, other series dont explain the fact that what you do in one game doesnt really affect the sequel, but bethesda made an explanation.
