      In reality, the Thu'um would not have been silenced. The Thu'um isn't magic, as it does not depend on Magicka. Instead, what the Thu'um actually is interfering with the World Song, which forces things straight into reality. Its a reality bending ability that isn't refined. The Dwemer built their cities using a more refined and advanced usage of this concept in nothing more than a single whisper. Their metal was also made in this way, which is why no one can make it. Unless the silencing works on all sounds, the Thu'um could not have been stopped by it.

      ​​​@@10tailedbijuu The Dragonborn was sent to defeat the Chosen Undead, because linking the First Flame would "burn the Age of Humans to ashes." The entire reason the gods of Dark Souls want to prevent the Age of Dark is so humans won't be able to challenge their power. The flame isn't actually necessary for the world to live on, it just gives power to the gods while burning away the Dark Souls, the _true_ souls, of humanity.
      It makes sense that the Dragonborn, a former prisoner who fought against either an imperialist dictatorship or a fascist terrorist group, would want to end the reign of those gods. From the Dragonborn's perspective, the Chosen Undead is allowing the gods to enslave humanity. From the Undead's perspective, the Last Dragonborn is a Dark Lord trying to prevent their mission to save humanity.

      Honestly, take the results with a grain of salt. The chosen undead only hollows if they lose their purpose.

      @fenrirsilver6441 Před 11 měsíci +2

      @@GoatOfWar Suprisingly, if you look at the lore for the Chosen Undead(ds1) he does actually eventually go Hollow. The other two on the other hand, the Monarch from ds2 and Ashen One from ds3, it would be a different story. Despite what others have said, even if we make the Dragonborn an elf, vampire, alchemy, have them extend their life with shouts, and have the help in longevity from the Daedric Princes, the Monarch would eventually win but only because the Dragonborn dies of Natural Causes, because at the end of the game(with the DLCs) the Monarch doesn't ever Hollow(the Flame will still burn their soul to ashe eventually though I guess). The Ashen One however, effectively has a fighting chance not just because of what you mentioned before, but feat-wise they can stand toe to toe with the Dovakin(enough where its hard to say who wins). The Ashen one not just fought and defeated 3 other Lords of Cinder(what the Chosen Undead and the Monarch become after linking the Flame) and one "pair" who was planned to become one themselves(the twin princes), but the very Soul of Cinder itself(which is effectively the accumulation of experience and abilities of every Lord of Cinder ever throughout all of time). Not only that, but the Ashen One also beat the Slave Knight Gael, which basically is analogous to the Soul of Cinder, but for all Undead(due to having consumed every Dark Soul, except for the Ashen One's). If we chose the Lord of Hollows ending for ds3, its even worse because not only do you have the things I mentioned before, but now the Flame lies within the Ashen One and they aren't bound to the Kiln of the First Flame.

      To be fair, one being an open sandbox RPG where the main character could be ANYTHING and the other being a strictly battle RPG where the character can only be a battle-[something], it's not very fair. The Chosen Undead cannot abuse Enchantment and Alchemy mechanics, and while I haven't played Dark Souls, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you aren't allowed to pickpocket people in Dark Souls either... Once I learned I could not just max my stats in an Elder Scrolls game, but break the stat caps, without hacking, just by going the Alchemy route... let's just say it's embarrassing when you can be playing a potion-maker and just buff yourself to be strong enough to punch an endgame demigod to death with your bare hands...
