And they didn't even show up in person until Oblivion, where they weren't even the main questline, and Skyrim, where only 3 are needed and the latter 2 are for a prophecy they could have averted from having to put in there if the vampiric snow elves had killed and ate Arch-Curate Vythur instead of turning then letting him put down a vengeance prophecy and break up that poor Volkihar family!

And the Throat of the World's nasty little time crack time wound caused by said Elder Scrolls. Paarthurnax' eyes must be sore from staring at that accursed time-wound all day. Was it impossible for them to magically remove Alduin another way? There's Auri-El's bow nearby, and because Auriel is Akatosh, that would at least somewhat help. If we pinned him down with sunhallowed elven arrows... If you poked an Elder Scroll with the thing the soul of the soul of everything, that should be close enough to make sense of a sleeping godhead! Barring that, Magnus' eye and staff might still be findable. Or SOMETHING! Thats kind of ironic and interesting at the same time.
