OK, first of all, know that I have Daggerfall but never completed it (wow, diseases in this game are deadly). However, in canon, what happens to the Hero of Daggerfall in the end? I've heard in some circles that the Hero dies at the end, but it appears much more vague than what happens to the Hero at the end of the other main games (Arena, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim). Is this true? The main reason that I ask is because I've heard that Battlespire was originally meant to be an expansion to Daggerfall, so for RP's sake, would it be canon to have my Battlespire character based off of my Daggerfall character (obviously, this would make no sense if the Hero of Daggerfall dies in canon)?

While it's possible he's dead, it's not entirely clear if he is or not. I would say, for simplicity's sake, he is dead, and Bethesda certainly won't be involving the character in future stories.

Well, how did s/he die?

With the Warp in the West, I'd assume that s/he gets like ripped apart with all the mega-world-changing events and time shenanigans happening all at the same time.

Given that it was "The Warp in The West"?

Anything. He (gender neutral "he") could be dead, alive, or something in-between. Heck, he could be battling dwarves in some long forgotten pocket universe or something; he might have gotten teleported inside of a rock; his consciousness might have merged with a mud-crab.

But it isn't out of the question that he lived. So for a RP, I a say go for it.
