So...what's the purpose of the skull?
So firstly, we all can agree The Dead Shall Rise and the game are terrible. It took the story and lore we love and slapped unnecessary things into it. I really just like to see this as an alternate universe and not seriously canon.
With that said, I will bite and try to chew exactly what they were trying to go for. And I am not sure if there was meant to be a continuation of the story of The Dead Shall Rise. But I got to ask the unfortunate question: were they trying to make an actual purpose for the skull on the Soul Reaver? Are they trying to show us that the skull belonged to Elaleth? And for what purpose? Like...was she supposed to be the key to trap Raziel into the reaver? Or was it part of the paradox she was trying to reach for? Because it seemed like her paradox was...nothing.
Trying to puzzle it together is just confusing. I can look past the other things, like her being the reason Kain went to resurrected the Sarafan or being the reason Raziel got his wings (which was also stupid) and the likes. But something about the Soul Reaver scene when Kain stabs her with it. It just has to be more to that, right? Like...for what purpose would her skull even be?
