Manteling is not becoming. It is the act of becoming so similar to the other entety that the universe fails to tell the difference between the two and the origenal one (Lorkhan) is destroyed. Anyways, just because several bethesda employees have confirmed that this process exists doesn't mean Talos mantled Lorkhan. He was absolutaly nothing like him. He used the Numidium to destroy Alinor to avoid losing countless imperial lives in the invasion of the Aldmeri Dominion. While many poeple died, he still had good intentions and legitamently cared about his troops. Lorkhan (supposedly) was a huge jerk and bound the gods to Nirn so they would become weaker and so that he would rule the Aurbis for himself. Talos wanted to conquor Tamriel so that the land could have peace and everyone, reguardless of race or ethnicity, could prosper. He became a god because Akatosh was so impressed by his actions on Nirn that he made him a god (and also according to MK he achieved CHIM). See, you can dissagree with me all you want because you can have you're own opinions about everything, but this is why i lothe MK lore so much. In adition to saying that Talos is Lorkhan, he also hints that Talos is not Tiber Septem but a combenation of Wulfharth, Zurin Aractus, Ysmer (The same person as Tiber Septem), Tiber Septem and Lorkhan, that Sheogorath and Jyggilag are aspects of Lorkhan and, worse still by a factor i cannot even begin to comprehend, that the last Dragonborn is a Shezarine. I don't want my character, the hero of Skyrim, the Haarbingaar of the companions, the arch mage of Winterhold and the Slayer of Alduin is the reencarnation of Lorkhan, and going even further back Sithis and Padomey, the most evil beings/entities in the universe. And don't even get me started on C0DA.
