Talk:The Dragonborn vs The Fateless One/@comment-24075086-20151006140904/@comment-26463455-20151010235407

It's the way the two worlds define fate. Tamriel doesn't really have a full definition of fate, as even both gods and Daedra in the game go against fate several times. Amalur, by contrast, is a literal linear path with no deviation; a single book. The only time that changed for Amalur was because of the Fateless One. The idea here being that he had the ability to change how the world around him worked by sheer force of will: action A was supposed to happne, but using his power he instead forces action B to occur. He would still have this power from one world to the next, hence his victory. It still was a close match, but I liken it to the difference between Cardcaptor Sakura and Orihime Inoue: One character can influence reality, but the other rejects it entirely. A difference in wording between similar abilities changes the outcome.
