Nope and nope.

In these components by you I may be split:
Something from those who want you to obey,
Something from the common spark of wit,
Something from a good old-fashioned play.
Despite the things you hear from me,
I'm not as important as I make out to be.

Hints:
The relation to the Thalmor is not connected to the game plot. :!:

Something from a good old-fashioned play - this line refers to a plot trope commonly used in comedies revolving around family relationships.

And I didn't just post the smileys for kicks!

Jon Battle-Born?

Bryling/Falk Firebeard?

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Tue Apr 09, 2013 7:18 pm

None of the above.

ElGreg · **Posted:** Wed Apr 10, 2013 9:19 pm

So the smileys are a reference to the Faendal-Sven-Camila love triangle?

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Thu Apr 11, 2013 4:11 am

Nope. Even though love triangles are also a common trope, this is not what I had in mind. :wink:

The smilies are obviously showing a third wheel.

Is it the Night Mother?

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Thu Apr 11, 2013 4:38 am

Nope, not the Night Mother.
And I wouldn't exactly call it a third wheel.
Don't forget the other lines. :wink:

Might be about siblings and one is more loved than the other. And somehow connected to the thalmor.

No, I'm afraid this is not the situation I was referring to. The trope I am implying may be found in plays by Moliere (though the characters' motivation may be different, the actions are the same). :wink:

I'd like to once again remind you that the connection is not related to the game plot; it is more of a technical thing.

if not love triangle, is it the girl from Ivarstead eloping with her lover against the will of her father...

I've been thinking that the answer is more a concept than an actual figure or event... but I can't put my finger on it

The situation in the riddle's fourth line is very similar, but not the same. The cast is wrong. :wink:

Hrolf Alfblod · **Posted:** Thu Apr 11, 2013 5:32 pm

Is it Calcelmo?

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Thu Apr 11, 2013 6:11 pm

Nope.

BetaB17 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 11, 2013 6:37 pm

Mmmm, is it by chance involving 2 guards and a wizard?

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:36 pm

The one thing it involves for sure is one of the add-ons. :wink:

ZackyZombify · **Posted:** Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:43 pm

Vingalmo? I swear there was a vampire that was ex-thalmor..

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Fri Apr 12, 2013 4:14 am

Nope.

Fetching that special edition of the Lusty Argonian for that Dunmer woman in Raven Rock?

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:48 am

Nope.

I'll give a hint that will surely help you solve this:
Mind the voice-acting.

Neloth?

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:58 pm

Nope.

Dexion Evicus?

Nope.

ElGreg has described the situation correctly, just with wrong characters:
'if not love triangle, is it the girl ~~from Ivarstead~~ eloping with her lover against the will of her father...'

3.Mind the voice-acting.

Well, the fourth hint must help:
4. Additional information on the second hint is found in the dialogues NPCs have among themselves.
