A lore accurate Dragonborn could probably take on armies by themselves. Especially after learning the Bend Will shout, they could command an army of Dragons.
@@broskiis03 I mean you can do the take on armies thing, but I thought in-game you can only use bend-will on one thing at a time? Or is my memory mistaken?
In game armies are what, 20 to 30 guys at most and coming in waves at the Civil War quests? Lore Dragon Born shakes continents with a single word spoken and topples kingdom walls with ease. He could take on hundres of ARMIES not just soldiers. Able to speak his will directly into the song of creation. I know that as a game aspect you can't do it up that much as A. It's be over powered and make the whole object of playing the game worthless and B. just hard to make that power fathomable into the game But yea, Game Dragon Born will never be shit compared to Lore Dragon Born.
Stories are always exaggerated. Like even in real life people who become legends they seem like superheroes after some time. Could same apply to Elder Scrolls. Maybe he wasn't as powerful as those stories. A bit disappointing, but our in-game character is still stupid powerful, right ?
Didn’t he kill alduin? You know, the Nordic aspect of akatosh and eventual destroyer of the entirety of nirn whom with his army of dragons could rival mehrunes Dagon and the entire dead lands population as well as a Dragonborn who ripped a piece of Skyrim off of the mainland and claims to be even stronger than Alduin ?
I just realized something. Miraak claims that he could’ve beaten alduin during the times of dragon and men but got his ass beaten by one of alduins *servants*
@@terriblecompany1588 Alduin isn't an aspect of Akatosh, that's a thna theory that is throughly debunked. Alduin is the first born dragon. Who are creations/children of akatosh
Whenever I start another playthrough I typically install a mod that improves the power of shouts and removes the cooldown. My reasoning is firstly the Greybeards and secondly, if a draugr deathlord can be undead and shout at me every five seconds then I, a natural born and still living Dovahkiin, should be able to utter a shout as often as Gordon Ramsay swears.
The shout cooldown is literally only there for gameplay. In lore, even just him speaking normally should be enough to cause headaches and discomfort. The first Emperor, another dragonborn, could literally shout at a dude and atomize him. It's even better that the one you play in Skyrim is actually an aspect of the god Shor, which is why he's not sitting in his throne in Sovngarde. You're literally just a mortal aspect of him going on an adventure.
It's heavily implied that shor mind wiped himself again and became you this time. The ghost of old hrodan identifies you as hjalti early beard, which was one of Tiber septim's names. Not only that, but the ancient nords in sovngard we're specifically instructed by shor to not fight alduin "until he returns" which is the first thing they do when you show up.

You set him on his way, warning him of the bandits that have inhabited the ruin. He just smiles and goes on his merry way. Half an hour later the sky itself shakes. You look up toward the barrow to see explosions of lightning striking the barrow in rapid succession before all goes quiet. You're glad that the traveller you spoke to was in a good mood.

You know how the people of Skyrim keep saying that Ulfric shouted the High King apart when he challenged him? Because that's what shouts can actually do. In gameplay, Unrelenting Force only pushes people away. In lore, it obliterates anything it's pointed at.
@@steveradroach9101 one of Herma Mora books allows you to power up your Unrelenting Force shout. After that, lower level enemies that are nearby are literally turned to ashes. Really cool. And it works not only in novice mode.
Lore Dragonborn: Able to hack into reality and reshape it to his will as long as he knows how to say it, understands the words he speaks, and has the will to bring it into reality. Skyrim Dragonborn: oh no, frost troll! Plz no kill
In lore, the fight between Miraak and the LDB would look like a DBZ fight. Last time Miraak fought someone powerful, Solstheim was sundered from the continent as collateral damage. And that was before he spent literal ages in Apocrypha
I mean, this does check out. Remember, when we first hear the Greybeards call for the Dovahkiin, their Shout literally shakes all of Skyrim. People down in Riften and people up in Solitude comment on what they heard. Arngier warns you that the unrestrained Voices of the other Greybeards would KILL you as you are when you first arrive. Imagine literally being born to wield that kind of power and more.
And that the greybeards actually are only about as strong as a blood or frost dragon lore wise? I think anyway. Feel free to correct me. But yeah we should be splitting mountains with a whisper by now XD
its easy to underestimate the DB because of how nerfed he is in the game. it's almost impossible to make him as powerful as his lore countpart without ruining the balance in the game. I love skyrim
@@seankock7649 that still wouldn't work, if you could be as powerful as you are in lore in game literally no enemy oter than alduin would be worth fighting
I've never been too concerned with game balance I just adjust the difficulty depending on how difficult the enemies should be at w/e point in the game. If it's my first bandit camp (with alt start so no Helgen yet) I want the chief to be a real pain in the butt. But by level 40ish the chief should be child's play and I only bump it up to legendary for T2+ dragons and certain other bosses like Harkon, the Forgemaster, etc. I used to use YASH and stuff like that but this honestly is just easier for me. And smoking bandits when it feels like I deserve to smoke them is super fun in its own way!
@@SirGarthur True but kings and emperors tend to be tyrants. Personally I see as the Dragonborn...their eyes on the throne. It is the only way to save the empire from the Thalmor. To me you are the incarnation of Talos. Save the empire... Save humanity from elves who seek to wipe us from the world.

@Mason Walker I think the greatest laugh I had was when I had a Fortify Resto Looped "Fortify One Handed" ring on, wielded a fork, and when a bandit chief tried to mug me, I said "Here comes the airplane~ Nyoooom--" and the bastard fell in a manner not unlike the Family Guy death pose
Honestly I wish there was a shout skill tree where you could upgrade their effects or reduce the cooldown at the cost of dragon souls. Maybe even chain shouts together or combine them to work like in this video. As it stands some shouts are useless in the endgame because their damage doesn't scale with enemy levels and dragon souls are useless once you've unlocked every shout.
There’s also a mod called Thunderchild by the same creator as Ordinator. Shouts get better the more you use them, you can combine words of in-game shouts into new ones, and you can get effects like shouting out of combat being reduced to a 10 second cooldown. I have both mods together, and plan on a shout-focused build soon
Stormcrown's one that works that way, kinda. it works like the werewolf/vampire trees where it's a separate condition. Absorbing a dragon soul gets you progress. chance in combat to have no cooldown, increase the duration and power of shout effects, reduce overall cooldown time by 50%, if you fall below a certain health level once an hour you gain ten seconds of no cooldown, etc. A few shouts are reworked, like disarm becomes subdue, which will nerf the target's weapon damage instead of knock the weapon out of hand, and newly added ones like poison breath and lightning breath. Later when you can meditate on words of power with partysnax, you don't get a single shout buffed, instead, most shouts essentially get a perma buff at the cost of one additional dragon soul. Like Dragon Aspect causes no shout cooldown, Unrelenting Force deals more damage and ignores wards, Dragonrend reduces the dragon's armor value and magic resistance, poison breath has it's damage over time start to do double damage once the target hits half health, drain vitality doubles the drain effect.
if you do the clavicus vile quest he has a pretty cool bit of dialogue where he says that the dragonborn's power is close to his current power (that being half because half of his power comes from his dog barbas), but that's still super fucking impressive because clavicus is a daedric prince
for example when you finish the mission if you chose an end to the war he says hell snap his fingers which would kill EVERYONE IN SKYRIM instantly. now imagine half of that and thats a rough guess of how strong a db really is.
Imho, in game Dragonborn can be even more terrifying . If you've got the slow time shout maxed time gets sped up on you so much you're almost as fast as arrows. Combined with a talos blessing and amulet and some alteration perk to extend their duration, and some alteration potions, you can reduce the cooldown enough to cast that shout continuously. Now imagine the significance of that - that'd be a guy just running around the battlefield at something like 200 km/h. To him everyone else just seems to be almost standing still. He could just hack down armies faster than anyone could react.
Weak, Fortify Restoration Loop -> Destruction Potion -> Flame Cloak, not only does the damage increase but so does the range. Do the loop long enough and the range is basically everything. One shot every single loaded hostile entity, you don't need to see them, or aim, don't even need to know they're there. Just chug the potion and cast.
Shout-out to the guy that watched the dragonborn disintegrate his entire party and still rushed him. That's true bravery and even truer stupidity right there
I am doing a Barbarian build and honestly, I've never playerd a version of the Dragonborn that is this intimidating, because while 6+ Stormcloaks are wailing on me, I just STAND THERE AND TAKE IT WHILE SWINGING MY BIG FIRE SWORD AROUND, occasionally setting people on fire by yelling at them
In the lore the world is controlled by sounds, stuff like Thuums literally bend the world to create the desired outcome, and the Dragonborn is an absolute master at this. You are fighting someone that can shake and reshape the world with a word.
@@choboibigly6565 if we go deeper and weirder, since this isn't the first Kalpa, Anu at least isn't even fully part of this world per se, being the Amaranth of the previous Kalpa.

Lore Accurate DB just might be the single most powerful character in gaming history or one of them at least. He can bend the will of others, summon thunder and basically alter reality just by shouting. Perhaps with training, even whispers can cause the same effects.
According to lore the island of Solstheim got created because Miraak shouted the landmass loose in a duel with a dragonpriest. The player defeats Miraak at the end of the Dragonborn DLC questline. The last dragonborn is stupidly powerful if he/she would be lore accurate
@@ninetyninerising9482 Who's stronger and who is weaker is up to the player really. Both Nerevarine and The Last Dragonborn take on minor Gods, are Prisoner heroes, etc. The Thu'um alone wouldn't decide it, after all Indoril Nerevar just choked Ysmir Wulfharth to death so he couldn't shout.
@@theentity1839 well the thuum would be a huge advantage though. the thuum breaks the earth bones to fit the dragonborns desire. Thats atleast my theory i can explain it more if you want but im guessing you know the dwemer story and what actually happened to the snow elves.
Greybeards, who trained for their lifespan, only mastering a few shouts, had problems with speaking. Their whisper, could kill everyone pretty easily. Arngeir was the only one who could speak. Dragonborn is like, an archmage reached the pinnacle of magic. If he knows the shout, he can use it freely, limitlessly, and any way he wants. There are mages who could destroy lands. Imagine all those power, inside a single person, and this person can also train to do whatever he wants. A warrior? A mage? A commander? You name it. In game, there are limitations. But in lore, well... dragonborns are like gods walking among men. No wonder people were so impressed by the dragonborn.
Arngeir is the only one who speaks to you because he's the weakest one is kind of a terrifying thought. I thought it was because he was the leader (aside from Parthanax) but really he's just a fucking noob
One thing I never understood is why Arngeir could speak normally without killing anyone but the other Greybeards couldn't? Is it because he was less powerful than the others? Or is it because he was the most powerful and thus the most able to control the power of his voice?
@@badwolf3618 The latter I guess. Even ingame data shows that Arngeir has the highest level among greybeards. And, considering Arngeir could teach an entire shout to you at one point, it is safe to say he mastered the voice and words to the point he can speak freely.
The alteration perk for longer duration of alteration effects + the time slow full shout (which is considered a alteration effect)= a very fun flash like playthrough... did that with an archer, which was awsome to see when the shout ends and the arrows regain their true speed, hitting almost everyone with great damage... then i put some perks into sneak and ilusion (ilusion for the quiet casting) and that would clear a full chamber in no time... at least in their perspective...
Honestly? Probably not much of one :/ Keep in mind the main reason for him even being brought to the Imperial City was to become Emperor and do that til he dies or hands it over to any children. Probably would not have had the chance to become a badass :/ Also, no dragon souls to absorb so no power gains from that. It would take a looong time for him to get this level. At least he turned into a dragon :D Which is something we ALL wish we could do. Minus the stone part.
@@ArchyMageFoxy not just any dragon either lmao it’s not like he turned into pathurnax or something. Nah this mf transformed into what’s essentially Skyrim’s version of an allfather. I’m blanking on his name, but he was the dragon GOD not just a dragon lol
@@jacksoncordray1593 Name you're looking for is Akatosh XD Yeah, according to lore he turned into an Aspect of Akatosh. I think? Not really sure what the difference is if I'm honest.
@@ArchyMageFoxy Akatosh lent his power to Martin so he could take on Akatoshs form and defeat Dagon, so it was really just a weaker smaller version of the god
I remember reading a book in game once - it was either Oblivion or Skyrim - but regardless is stated a Dragonborn (I think Tiber Septim) could attack a city and use the Thu’um to shout down city walls and gates making them defenceless. *One guy*
It was probably "Children of the sky". Tongues were powerful Thu'um users and some some Nordic generals were powerful Tongues who needed no siege engines for they could shout down the city walls
No this was before Jurgen Windcaller when Nords practiced the Thu'um regularly, with enough Nords using Unrelenting Force an army didn't need complex things like siege engines, helping them be successful barbarians
Looks like this video kinda blew up for some reason. If anyone is interested in seeing more videos like this take a look at my channel. Thanks for watching! ♥️

It's fun until you kill your follower and you remember that you gave him a full set of deadric armor and he gets flung out of the universe and you forgot to save and your last save was like 5 years ago if your wondering I did this
By far the most missed opportunity in the development of Skyrim was that they made Shouts useless. It's completely immersion-breaking to translate the overwhelming power that makes you a protagonist in the first place as "you can knock people over, like, once per battle".
@@ninjadog5800 I feel like they could have still balanced it, just make shouts become especially powerful (and lower the cooldown) when you upgrade them several times. That way you have to really commit to become good at Shouts.
In one of the battles that Miraak fought in, the fight resulted in him shouting so hard that a fucking piece of the continent is separated, resulting in the island we know as Solstheim. And then the Last Dragonborn kills him... then absorbed his soul. Yeah I'm pretty sure the LDB can absolutely obliterate the Altmer by himself if he wanted to, his more esoteric shouts like Bend Will and Soul Tear is just the cherry on top.
@Bender Bending Rodriguez Those with CHIM lack motivation to use it. Why do you think Vivec never really fucks reality apart from that one... event. Also Dagoth Ur is the Sharmat. He has sort of Anti-CHIM, not CHIM. He wants to usurp the Godhead because he believes the dream, and, in consequence, everything, is part of him, instead of him being part of the dream. It is why the blight changed people and environments, because they were corrupted in the vision of Dagoth Ur, who created a nightmare in the dream in the image of its "dreamer" master. Still, the Nerevarine also won because he was who he was and because he had the artifacts he did. He is indeed immortal, as per prophecy, but his own power is still very much mortal, apart from his enormous favour with Azura. The tools of Kagrenac defeated Dagoth Ur. The Nerevarine was just the intelligent and apt vessel for them to be used. Without the tools, the Heart cannot be touched.
@Bender Bending Rodriguez actually the prisoners like the neverin, the champion of kovatch and dragon born are akin to chim user exept on a smaller scale they exist as a set point in the dream and willing them out of the dream is something that is either near impossible or out right impossible "a prisoner is an Impossipoint, a tear in the fabric of Time which exists outside of all Possibility and is unbound by the chains of causality and deterministic fate which pervade through the Dream of the Godhead" also one of the reasons why the book of destiny in windhelm is blank
"YSMIR, the Dragon of the North, who always appears as a great bearded king, had powers innumerable and echoing. He was grim and dark and the most silent of the invading chieftains, though when he spoke villages were uplifted and thrown into the sea. The Hortator fought him unarmed, grabbing the Dragon's roars by hand until Ysmir's power throat bled." 36 Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 9. If you believe Vivec, it sounds like Nerevar ripped his throat out.
Again, lore counterparts are OP compared to what the games can offer. Remember, Vivec treats Ghartok Padhome as divine relic and started to hit CHIM on Indoril. Not far on what The Prisoner can pull of in 4th era (unless someone mods a Surgeon sim to the game)
That does line up somewhat with Tiber Septim's story. Or at least one of his stories. When Cuhlecain (who Septim served as general) was assassinated, Septim's throat was supposedly slit. An act that was attributed to Reachmen. Apparently causing enough damage where he could barely speak let alone Shout after the attack. One of Septim's titles/names was of course, Ysmir, Dragon of the North. This also lines up with how old stories are half remembered & half imagined which after enough different transmissions of the story (whatever story it is) become muddied and confused, lost or partly forgotten. Only to surface again, in a different area, as part of another story which has then become a myth, a folktale or outright religious dogma. Take the epic of Gilgamesh and the crazy stuff he gets up to and how tons of it pop up all over the middle east and Europe, some even today as part of the Catholic take on Christianity. It is hard to believe that the writers at Bethesda didn't use this common occurrence as part of how they went about creating the mythos of TES. The only real question is "To what extent?" addendum: Professor Mick Aston's first law of local research is that the local research is invariably wrong. His second law is that it is always right. It is the job of the archaeologist, the archivist, the historian to figure out what is garbage and what is an actual truth that has been passed down. He stated this clearly in the Time Team S19E2 Bitterly. (Aston was a very real archaeologist from the UK, who Brits would certainly remember from Time Team. Though he is now deceased.) Those rules describe local folk knowledge, but applies at some level, to all knowledge that is passed via some form of transmission from one source to another, from one person to another, whatever, i.e. everything. So anything attributed to Vivec or even known explicitly to be said by him being a mix of complete BS and actual truths, is perfectly in line with how the world actually works irl.
@Mason Walker Can a thuum user get laryngitis? Tiber Septim is said to have lost the ability to shout after his throat was literally slit and he was left for dead. So MASSIVE trauma to the part of his body that produces the sounds used in the magic of the thuum. Whereas what happens when you get laryngitis, your voice box is still basically intact, it just cannot function as well due to inflammation. (which is what happens if you yell a lot. It is akin to your leg getting sore from running, the leg is still perfectly fine, it just needs some rest) That said, your words gave me an idea. 'Grabbing the roars by the hand' sounds like grappling and avoiding his enemies attacks over and over, think judo. The part about the bleeding throat reminds me of what happens when you have a persistent strong cough. You will literally start to cough up blood after a little while. So instead of as you said 'losing his voice' and I described above, perhaps it is referring to using the thuum so much in such a short time, in such a fight, that he literally caused internal trauma to himself. In the end, perhaps still being able to Shout, but coughing up blood at the same time, or perhaps having some spray of blood come out during Shouts. Something like that would account for the actual points in that lesson. Fighting hand to hand, making the fight last a long time, physical damage to a part of the body which is fundamental to producing the thuum. addendum: As far as I can tell, the tonal magic of the Dwemer and the magic of the thuum actually use sounds in order to effect their magics, unlike other franchises where something only gives the appearance of using sound, for instance due to the magic seemingly coming from the mouth or throat like I have seen with several forms of dragon fire over the years. edit: Only using Septim as an example of a known instance where one of the users of the thuum is said to have actually lost the ability due to damaga. Ysmir, Dragon of the North, can certainly be describing a bunch of other people.
I think shouts whould have been better if there was a skilltree to them. Like lowering cooldowns and maybe adding some extra damage or lingering effect from some shouts. For example how does the drauger spam shouts while we need to wait? They used the skill tree
Also the draugr LEARNT the shouts whereas the DB intuits them through birthright. Paarthurnax explained that understanding the words would actually empower them but our DB never indicated actually studying or understanding the words.
Dragonborn is like Superman, in that he ends up (lore-wise) sounding like he was written by an 8 year old. "And then he's really strong and he punches a dragon and the dragon dies and he shouts and everyone who he wants to kill is killed and becomes dead but not the people he wants to live, and when they hit him it doesn't hurt him because he has really really strong skin!"
The game really should have changed everyone's perspective on the DB after he defeats the worldeater Alduin. He should of been feared of except for the strongest of opponents
In Oblivion, I felt respected by the people and the guards. Everyone will say "All hail the Hero of Kvatch / The Champion of Cyrodiil". I also had a castle of my own (Battlehorn) and a small army, befits someone who has so much connection with the royalty and nobles, looted so much Ayelid treasures, and has the ability to become a literal Daedric Prince later. They had a frigging statue made to honor the hero! I know people in the north are more rigid, but the amount of power he has in his disposal along with saving the whole world, he should have got some recognition. Bethesda was just lazy.
@@Akash-jz2vf I agree that the dragonborn doesn't receive the recognition he deserves after defeating alduin. There is a bit of unused guard dialogue where they have more comments to respect the dragonborn which can be reactivated using a mod at least.
Lore wise, Dragonborn can split continents and destory whole mountains with Unrelenting Force. It's pretty sad that the in game Dragonborn can barely do any damage to anyone with Unrelenting Force. I mean, I'm not expecting to game to simulate this kind of power but come on Bethesda this is just killing the purpose of shouting :/
Kinda hard to make things like that work in game when you have so many mechanics to make happen. I understand the limitations, but damn that’d be cool.
@@LoneSilverW0lf Like I said, I do not expect to an 11 years old game to simulate such destruction. But they couldve at least make it so our shouts would have small effects on small objects. :/

Which means that the only way for him to learn shouting is by training long and hard. We dont even know if he was truly a nord of atmoran descent.
@@VIVc-art There was one other way. The Amulet of Kings could only be worn by a dragonborn. During Skyrim that is not really an option, because Martin destroyed the amulet, but during the time of Tiber Septim simply taking that amulet on granted claim on the throne.
@@VIVc-art he kept his ability to talk when he mastered how to shout and apparently only the dragonborn can do that but more importantly the warriors that became the blades immediately started to worship Talos as the dragonborn when they came from the land the nords are originally from. they came to tamriel cuz they only follow the dragonborn as their leader. atleast thats the basics of what i remember from a lore deep dive yrs ago.

@@InsomniaReal I have one problem with what you said. It is complete BS that so many games come out in a state where fans, working as amateurs in the best sense of the word (i.e. people who do something because they love it, not for payment or whatnot) have to fix uncountable bugs and other simple issues that should have been done by the professional devs who are actually being paid to do the job (e.g. misplaced world elements that were hand placed by devs and not procedurally generated, such as the bazillion rocks that were cured of their anti-gravity in the unofficial patch. Or were only procedurally generated as a first step and were meant to be tweaked/changed by hand (look at the horrid facial movement in Mass Effect Andromeda... then, just to hammer the point home, go look at the early video of not-Wrex's mission and how GOOD they were there). Ok, Skyrim is awesome. My playtime is somewhere in the lower 5 digits (I ended up putting over 400 hours on completely unmodded oldrim over the last month or two, in what started as a performance test on my Steam Deck... a performance test that was supposed to last 2-3 hours at most.. ffs) But so many systems are 1/3 complete or only work half the time or are cut but are still included in the game as pure bloat (they could just as easily been cut from the game and still released as part of the creation kit if they really wanted to). AND THIS IS A GAME THAT IS AWESOME... look at the stuff which is nowhere near as good of a product. Oh, one other problem. There is a snowballs chance in hell of modding the game that much and then just stop modding the game, in order to play out the rest of your days in peace. Modding Skyrim is more addictive than crack combined with the availability of cheap chinese knockoff goods offered for the low low price of nothing + your soul. btw: true fun was installing over 700 active mods on oldrim (plus god knows how many other replacers and skse stuff and so on). Sure there was the limit of 255 active esp mods... but that is where merging mods comes into the picture. All the automation you get like checking for updates via NMM go bye bye, since the merged mods become a custom mod of your own creation and it is up to you, to know what is in what merged set, what can and cant be merged, recreating the merged file everytime you want to update anything in it, or even if you want to change the color of something that would have given a quick setup had it all been done as a single mod through NMM. Then to top it off no BOSS or anything, again its all on you. Ahh fun times, the days when modding Skyrim was a game in and of itself.
Modding is awesome, but let's not pretend it isn't a well loved game despite that. It was groundbreaking for its time, and you can only expect so much from a dev team on a time limit. OBVIOUSLY when you have an army of modders that could fill a small country, they could all focus on individual aspects of the game that can be improved upon. Dev teams aren't so lucky. Let's not forget that it was the game that made modding popular, not the other way around.
The Skyrim shouts are in lore are basically what the ancient language is in Eragon. Something that can tear the very world apart and bend it to the users will.
A lore-accurate Dragonborn would breathe fire in the same way the dragons do: as a consistent, solid, infernal stream, rather than the brief burst that the game lets you do.
Dude, I have been playing Skyrim for almost 10 years and this is the first time I have been genuinely terrified of the Dragonborn like he is so OP its no wonder he's the first one Since Tiber Septim there is only enough room for one at a time if there were a bunch of Dragoborns running around the world would be chaos although imagine an army of Dragonborns VS. The Aldmeri Dominion (probably spelled that wrong I do apologise)
Well, they wouldn't even need an entire army to beat the Aldmeri. Just one group of angry old dragonborns shouting should do the trick. I mean they can literally send the Dominion running away or cowering in fear with the Bend Will shout.
He's not the first Dragonborn since Tiber Septim, anyone who carries dragon's blood is a dragonborn. Every single Emperor is dragonborn. It's just that for the majority of their time ruling, there haven't been dragons around, so no souls to absorb. They also haven't trained their thu'um because of this.
@@rustyshackleford1508 Well everyone talks like Tiber Septim was the last one some of the guards even talk about it when you absorb your first dragon soul admittedly they're guards and only know so much but yeah. Not saying you're wrong just that's why I got confused or whatever.
wouldnt even need an army, they'd just need 5 Dragonborn at roughly the level of the Greybeards Hell even just the Greybeards could defeat the Aldmeri Dominion.
@@rustyshackleford1508 nah the whole premise of the game is there havent been any dragonbor OR dragons. The prophecy is about THE LAST dragonborn appearing when Alduin returns. No one has any idea what happens in elder scrolls after that, so lore writers get a blank page after this
Dragons themselves, too, they should be pretty matching in strength as the Dragonborn is meant to be a rival to the dragons... Really did my scaly boys dirty with those boring flyovers and cones of fire :( So much for literal shards of time itself :(
@@arsenkurmangali2997 and way too easy to beat, I've faced mudcrabs more fearsome than alduin. Especially if you're playing legendary mode, a powerful mage or bandit chieftain is more difficult to kill.
@@arsenkurmangali2997 Poor game balance. Alduin was trapped outside of time for a few thousand years, maybe wasn’t at full strength. Still, DB killed em
I always had a personal head cannon that after my character helped the Stormcloacks win the civil war the Aldmeri basically tell the empire “You guys failed, let us handle this upstart for you!”. To which my character, his companions and the entire leadership of Skyrim boil down the defenses to four places: High Hrothgar for the leadership, Markarth for civilian protection in a Dwemer city, Dawnguard keep for my character and his companions and Blackreach for the military. Using the mapped and cleared out Dwemer Ruins to launch Gurrilla raids on the Aldmeri, and Dawnguard keeps natural choke point to hold the more focused attacks. The civilians would be safe within the old Dwemer Ruins and have the mages guild erect barriers to shield from Magic. High Hrothgar is already treacherous on the climb and telling Parthy and his buddies to do daily sweeps on the mountain side to keep it cleared would be enough. The invasion would basically end with my character and all his companions leading a charge on Aldmeri command and slaying everyone there and sending the severed heads back and a warning.
This is a pretty cool head cannon, but in all seriousness you wouldn't even need that just send Dovahkiin to the summerset isles and start slaughtering every thalmor until they surrender, it probable wouldn't take long seeing how powerful the dovahkiin is (Lore wise anyway)
@@schloop8351 Very true, but game wise it would be fun. Granted I hate the Aldmeri even though my character is one 99% of the time, so I view it as a middle finger to the Aldmeri Dominion in general.
Somehow just even having a mod with such attention to details of the dragonborn holding the shield over his head to protect from the rain somehow makes this a far pretty Skyrim game. I just hope Elder Scrolls 6 succeeds in the best way possible.
This. My hope is that the Anniversary edition was the sign of Bethesda learning from the modding community, and that these constant rereleases are to cover while they develop TES:VI
Assuming the last Dragonborn is the strongest (except Talos) he would be able to tear mountains apart with his full power. He could split the fucking ground on a continental basis. It's safe to say that even an army of 100,000 would be as easy to defeat as the bandits in this video, even if they don't rout after 5 seconds and fight to the death.
Actually the last dragonborn is probably stronger than Talos was because he has access to dragon souls to roid up his power so unless you are taking the Numidium into account The last dragonborn is probably way stronger than Talos pre Chim and Numidium
People need to separate Talos from Tiber Septim. Talos is more than one human that fused together and ascend to godhood, Tiber Septim was one single man with the dragon blood and without the dragon soul
@No Comment I apologize for making this mistake, please change wolves to Bandits, the joke makes much more sense that way.. Also, I wrote yey instead of "yet" this must stop, I will edit the comment and attempt to save the shame I feel.
@@thomasracer56 At the time I did 100% achievements I got all the shouts, it was so cool, speaking of High-Hrothgar, the climb gave a perk if you went to all the shrines on the way and animals would not attack you, which was kind of cool while it lasted.
Dragonborn: if I am who you say I am, do you really think this….was your best course of action? Bandits: what do you mean? It’s 5 against one Dragonborn: Yes. See your mistake.
Shouting should've had its own "breath" resource bar, akin to stamina or magicka. Rather than implementing cooldowns on shouting, have it deplete the dragonborn's breath proportional to the cooldown a shout would normally have. The strength of your shouts would correlate to how much breath you had when you used it, and rather than a cooldown you'd have to consciously manage your shouting frequency to avoid your shouts becoming ineffective from rapid overuse.
Man he really doesnt wanna get his head wet. Hes got a helmet on plus hes using his shield all to guard his head...tho i guess thats what they were made for anyway.
I have a theory that Bethesda didn't make any lines for the main character not just because of immersion issues, but because lore wise the Dragonborn can reshape the world around him with just words alone, he could speak a person into nothingness, shout a mountain to oblivion etc... Imagine him talking regularly to people.
@@Nobody-wx6rk It must be different for original Skyrim cuz I have the companions one and it is red, lined with gold trim and has Wuuthrad in the center, also in that gold thread.
The shout "Marked for Death" would be utterly terrifying if it were accurately portrayed. It's like suffering from radiation sickness - you just feel sick and in pain as your DNA dies, organs start to fail and you die an agonizing death over the course of a week or even a month.
I aleays thought that the DB would use dragon aspect followed by storm shout to siege a fortress. Strenthening his body and laying waste to random enemies via lighting.
ya know i genuinely wish fighting the aldmeri dominion was in the DLC... youre the dragonborn for christs sake. one of the strongest individual in the world at that time.
The greybeards say that there were many dragonborns who wasted their gifts. I think it is not lore-friendly to assume all dragonborns achieved their full potential. Maybe they used their powers only to seduce women or satisfy an alcohol addiction.
Well the Last Dragon canonically has to achieve a level of power and skill necessary to defeat Alduin, so it's safe to assume that this video is lore accurate for the specific dragonborn we play as.
The wizard dude we meet in dragonborn dlc also calls us the second most powerful dragonborn to exist, with likely only tiber septim being above the last dragonborn, at least as he was then. Tiber septim took decades to get to his power, the last dragonborn, if we're being extra generous to how long this takes, took max 5 years to become the second strongest dragonborn. Add on to that the dragonborn's extended lifespan, and any magic shenanigans that might occur, it's very feasible that later in the series we hear of the last dragonborn surpassing even tiber septim.

A lore accurate Dragonborn could probably take on armies by themselves. Especially after learning the Bend Will shout, they could command an army of Dragons.

You say that like a players Dragonborn cant
@@broskiis03 I mean you can do the take on armies thing, but I thought in-game you can only use bend-will on one thing at a time? Or is my memory mistaken?
In game armies are what, 20 to 30 guys at most and coming in waves at the Civil War quests? Lore Dragon Born shakes continents with a single word spoken and topples kingdom walls with ease. He could take on hundres of ARMIES not just soldiers. Able to speak his will directly into the song of creation. I know that as a game aspect you can't do it up that much as A. It's be over powered and make the whole object of playing the game worthless and B. just hard to make that power fathomable into the game
But yea, Game Dragon Born will never be shit compared to Lore Dragon Born.
Stories are always exaggerated. Like even in real life people who become legends they seem like superheroes after some time. Could same apply to Elder Scrolls. Maybe he wasn't as powerful as those stories. A bit disappointing, but our in-game character is still stupid powerful, right ?

@@RADukura on what?
The shout cooldown is literally only there for gameplay. In lore, even just him speaking normally should be enough to cause headaches and discomfort. The first Emperor, another dragonborn, could literally shout at a dude and atomize him. It's even better that the one you play in Skyrim is actually an aspect of the god Shor, which is why he's not sitting in his throne in Sovngarde. You're literally just a mortal aspect of him going on an adventure.
Explains why heroes just pop in suddenly
It's heavily implied that shor mind wiped himself again and became you this time.
The ghost of old hrodan identifies you as hjalti early beard, which was one of Tiber septim's names. Not only that, but the ancient nords in sovngard we're specifically instructed by shor to not fight alduin "until he returns" which is the first thing they do when you show up.
So the Dragonborn IS Talos?
@@suburbanindie No, he's a Shezzarine, an aspect of Shor, like the player character in Morrowind is a Nerevarine.

Honestly I wish there was a shout skill tree where you could upgrade their effects or reduce the cooldown at the cost of dragon souls. Maybe even chain shouts together or combine them to work like in this video. As it stands some shouts are useless in the endgame because their damage doesn't scale with enemy levels and dragon souls are useless once you've unlocked every shout.
Ordinator mod does everything you said. It put a Shout branch on the Speech tree.
There’s also a mod called Thunderchild by the same creator as Ordinator. Shouts get better the more you use them, you can combine words of in-game shouts into new ones, and you can get effects like shouting out of combat being reduced to a 10 second cooldown. I have both mods together, and plan on a shout-focused build soon
Stormcrown's one that works that way, kinda. it works like the werewolf/vampire trees where it's a separate condition. Absorbing a dragon soul gets you progress. chance in combat to have no cooldown, increase the duration and power of shout effects, reduce overall cooldown time by 50%, if you fall below a certain health level once an hour you gain ten seconds of no cooldown, etc.
A few shouts are reworked, like disarm becomes subdue, which will nerf the target's weapon damage instead of knock the weapon out of hand, and newly added ones like poison breath and lightning breath.
Later when you can meditate on words of power with partysnax, you don't get a single shout buffed, instead, most shouts essentially get a perma buff at the cost of one additional dragon soul. Like Dragon Aspect causes no shout cooldown, Unrelenting Force deals more damage and ignores wards, Dragonrend reduces the dragon's armor value and magic resistance, poison breath has it's damage over time start to do double damage once the target hits half health, drain vitality doubles the drain effect.
And the final upgrade for Dragon Aspect should transform you into a Dragon fully.

Imho, in game Dragonborn can be even more terrifying . If you've got the slow time shout maxed time gets sped up on you so much you're almost as fast as arrows. Combined with a talos blessing and amulet and some alteration perk to extend their duration, and some alteration potions, you can reduce the cooldown enough to cast that shout continuously.

If he knows the shout, he can use it freely, limitlessly, and any way he wants. There are mages who could destroy lands. Imagine all those power, inside a single person, and this person can also train to do whatever he wants. A warrior? A mage? A commander? You name it.
In game, there are limitations. But in lore, well... dragonborns are like gods walking among men. No wonder people were so impressed by the dragonborn.
But then last dragonborn died in Helgen, and Alduing ate the whole world. The end.
Some dragonborn ARE gods walking among men...The shezzari.
Arngeir is the only one who speaks to you because he's the weakest one is kind of a terrifying thought. I thought it was because he was the leader (aside from Parthanax) but really he's just a fucking noob
One thing I never understood is why Arngeir could speak normally without killing anyone but the other Greybeards couldn't? Is it because he was less powerful than the others? Or is it because he was the most powerful and thus the most able to control the power of his voice?
@@badwolf3618 The latter I guess. Even ingame data shows that Arngeir has the highest level among greybeards. And, considering Arngeir could teach an entire shout to you at one point, it is safe to say he mastered the voice and words to the point he can speak freely.
The alteration perk for longer duration of alteration effects + the time slow full shout (which is considered a alteration effect)= a very fun flash like playthrough... did that with an archer, which was awsome to see when the shout ends and the arrows regain their true speed, hitting almost everyone with great damage... then i put some perks into sneak and ilusion (ilusion for the quiet casting) and that would clear a full chamber in no time... at least in their perspective...

This just makes me wonder how badass of an Emperor Martin Septim could have been if he didn't have to turn to stone
Well, he did turn into a dragon first which was cool.
Honestly? Probably not much of one :/ Keep in mind the main reason for him even being brought to the Imperial City was to become Emperor and do that til he dies or hands it over to any children. Probably would not have had the chance to become a badass :/ Also, no dragon souls to absorb so no power gains from that. It would take a looong time for him to get this level. At least he turned into a dragon :D Which is something we ALL wish we could do. Minus the stone part.
@@ArchyMageFoxy not just any dragon either lmao it’s not like he turned into pathurnax or something. Nah this mf transformed into what’s essentially Skyrim’s version of an allfather. I’m blanking on his name, but he was the dragon GOD not just a dragon lol
@@jacksoncordray1593 Name you're looking for is Akatosh XD Yeah, according to lore he turned into an Aspect of Akatosh. I think? Not really sure what the difference is if I'm honest.
@@ArchyMageFoxy Akatosh lent his power to Martin so he could take on Akatoshs form and defeat Dagon, so it was really just a weaker smaller version of the god
I remember reading a book in game once - it was either Oblivion or Skyrim - but regardless is stated a Dragonborn (I think Tiber Septim) could attack a city and use the Thu’um to shout down city walls and gates making them defenceless.
*One guy*
It was probably "Children of the sky". Tongues were powerful Thu'um users and some some Nordic generals were powerful Tongues who needed no siege engines for they could shout down the city walls
No this was before Jurgen Windcaller when Nords practiced the Thu'um regularly, with enough Nords using Unrelenting Force an army didn't need complex things like siege engines, helping them be successful barbarians

By far the most missed opportunity in the development of Skyrim was that they made Shouts useless. It's completely immersion-breaking to translate the overwhelming power that makes you a protagonist in the first place as "you can knock people over, like, once per battle".
Useless? Absolutely not.
@@ninjadog5800 I feel like they could have still balanced it, just make shouts become especially powerful (and lower the cooldown) when you upgrade them several times. That way you have to really commit to become good at Shouts.

In one of the battles that Miraak fought in, the fight resulted in him shouting so hard that a fucking piece of the continent is separated, resulting in the island we know as Solstheim.
And then the Last Dragonborn kills him... then absorbed his soul.
Yeah I'm pretty sure the LDB can absolutely obliterate the Altmer by himself if he wanted to, his more esoteric shouts like Bend Will and Soul Tear is just the cherry on top.
@Bender Bending Rodriguez Those with CHIM lack motivation to use it. Why do you think Vivec never really fucks reality apart from that one... event. Also Dagoth Ur is the Sharmat. He has sort of Anti-CHIM, not CHIM. He wants to usurp the Godhead because he believes the dream, and, in consequence, everything, is part of him, instead of him being part of the dream. It is why the blight changed people and environments, because they were corrupted in the vision of Dagoth Ur, who created a nightmare in the dream in the image of its "dreamer" master. Still, the Nerevarine also won because he was who he was and because he had the artifacts he did. He is indeed immortal, as per prophecy, but his own power is still very much mortal, apart from his enormous favour with Azura. The tools of Kagrenac defeated Dagoth Ur. The Nerevarine was just the intelligent and apt vessel for them to be used. Without the tools, the Heart cannot be touched.
@Bender Bending Rodriguez actually the prisoners like the neverin, the champion of kovatch and dragon born are akin to chim user exept on a smaller scale they exist as a set point in the dream and willing them out of the dream is something that is either near impossible or out right impossible
"a prisoner is an Impossipoint, a tear in the fabric of Time which exists outside of all Possibility and is unbound by the chains of causality and deterministic fate which pervade through the Dream of the Godhead"
also one of the reasons why the book of destiny in windhelm is blank
@Bender Bending Rodriguez we are talking about chim users here not the God head it self
You don't absorb his soul.
@@phuckerpower did you even play Dragonborn dlc and defeat miraak?
"YSMIR, the Dragon of the North, who always appears as a great bearded king, had powers innumerable and echoing. He was grim and dark and the most silent of the invading chieftains, though when he spoke villages were uplifted and thrown into the sea. The Hortator fought him unarmed, grabbing the Dragon's roars by hand until Ysmir's power throat bled." 36 Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 9. If you believe Vivec, it sounds like Nerevar ripped his throat out.
Clearly Dunmeri Propaganda
Again, lore counterparts are OP compared to what the games can offer. Remember, Vivec treats Ghartok Padhome as divine relic and started to hit CHIM on Indoril. Not far on what The Prisoner can pull of in 4th era (unless someone mods a Surgeon sim to the game)
Easiest way to defeat the Dovahkiin... rip his throat out.
If, of course, you can get close enough to rip it out.
That does line up somewhat with Tiber Septim's story. Or at least one of his stories. When Cuhlecain (who Septim served as general) was assassinated, Septim's throat was supposedly slit. An act that was attributed to Reachmen. Apparently causing enough damage where he could barely speak let alone Shout after the attack. One of Septim's titles/names was of course, Ysmir, Dragon of the North.
This also lines up with how old stories are half remembered & half imagined which after enough different transmissions of the story (whatever story it is) become muddied and confused, lost or partly forgotten. Only to surface again, in a different area, as part of another story which has then become a myth, a folktale or outright religious dogma. Take the epic of Gilgamesh and the crazy stuff he gets up to and how tons of it pop up all over the middle east and Europe, some even today as part of the Catholic take on Christianity. It is hard to believe that the writers at Bethesda didn't use this common occurrence as part of how they went about creating the mythos of TES. The only real question is "To what extent?"
addendum: Professor Mick Aston's first law of local research is that the local research is invariably wrong. His second law is that it is always right. It is the job of the archaeologist, the archivist, the historian to figure out what is garbage and what is an actual truth that has been passed down. He stated this clearly in the Time Team S19E2 Bitterly. (Aston was a very real archaeologist from the UK, who Brits would certainly remember from Time Team. Though he is now deceased.) Those rules describe local folk knowledge, but applies at some level, to all knowledge that is passed via some form of transmission from one source to another, from one person to another, whatever, i.e. everything. So anything attributed to Vivec or even known explicitly to be said by him being a mix of complete BS and actual truths, is perfectly in line with how the world actually works irl.
@Mason Walker Can a thuum user get laryngitis? Tiber Septim is said to have lost the ability to shout after his throat was literally slit and he was left for dead. So MASSIVE trauma to the part of his body that produces the sounds used in the magic of the thuum. Whereas what happens when you get laryngitis, your voice box is still basically intact, it just cannot function as well due to inflammation. (which is what happens if you yell a lot. It is akin to your leg getting sore from running, the leg is still perfectly fine, it just needs some rest)
That said, your words gave me an idea. 'Grabbing the roars by the hand' sounds like grappling and avoiding his enemies attacks over and over, think judo. The part about the bleeding throat reminds me of what happens when you have a persistent strong cough. You will literally start to cough up blood after a little while. So instead of as you said 'losing his voice' and I described above, perhaps it is referring to using the thuum so much in such a short time, in such a fight, that he literally caused internal trauma to himself. In the end, perhaps still being able to Shout, but coughing up blood at the same time, or perhaps having some spray of blood come out during Shouts.
Something like that would account for the actual points in that lesson. Fighting hand to hand, making the fight last a long time, physical damage to a part of the body which is fundamental to producing the thuum.
addendum: As far as I can tell, the tonal magic of the Dwemer and the magic of the thuum actually use sounds in order to effect their magics, unlike other franchises where something only gives the appearance of using sound, for instance due to the magic seemingly coming from the mouth or throat like I have seen with several forms of dragon fire over the years.
edit: Only using Septim as an example of a known instance where one of the users of the thuum is said to have actually lost the ability due to damaga. Ysmir, Dragon of the North, can certainly be describing a bunch of other people.
I think shouts whould have been better if there was a skilltree to them. Like lowering cooldowns and maybe adding some extra damage or lingering effect from some shouts. For example how does the drauger spam shouts while we need to wait? They used the skill tree
There's a mod for that
Undead have unlimited stamina.
Don't know if you're still looking for this, but look up ordinator and thunderchild. They're mods that make shout based builds fun and viable.
Also the draugr LEARNT the shouts whereas the DB intuits them through birthright. Paarthurnax explained that understanding the words would actually empower them but our DB never indicated actually studying or understanding the words.
Dragonborn is like Superman, in that he ends up (lore-wise) sounding like he was written by an 8 year old.
"And then he's really strong and he punches a dragon and the dragon dies and he shouts and everyone who he wants to kill is killed and becomes dead but not the people he wants to live, and when they hit him it doesn't hurt him because he has really really strong skin!"

In Oblivion, I felt respected by the people and the guards. Everyone will say "All hail the Hero of Kvatch / The Champion of Cyrodiil". I also had a castle of my own (Battlehorn) and a small army, befits someone who has so much connection with the royalty and nobles, looted so much Ayelid treasures, and has the ability to become a literal Daedric Prince later. They had a frigging statue made to honor the hero!
I know people in the north are more rigid, but the amount of power he has in his disposal along with saving the whole world, he should have got some recognition. Bethesda was just lazy.

@@Franz082011 whats truly is hazy is the whole history of tamriel and especially talos. It was said that hes the dragonborn and yet the only way you can learn you are the dragonborn is by killing a dragon. And there were no dragons except paarthurnax when talos was alive. Which means that the only way for him to learn shouting is by training long and hard. We dont even know if he was truly a nord of atmoran descent.
@@VIVc-art There was one other way. The Amulet of Kings could only be worn by a dragonborn. During Skyrim that is not really an option, because Martin destroyed the amulet, but during the time of Tiber Septim simply taking that amulet on granted claim on the throne.
@@VIVc-art he kept his ability to talk when he mastered how to shout and apparently only the dragonborn can do that but more importantly the warriors that became the blades immediately started to worship Talos as the dragonborn when they came from the land the nords are originally from. they came to tamriel cuz they only follow the dragonborn as their leader. atleast thats the basics of what i remember from a lore deep dive yrs ago.

@@InsomniaReal I have one problem with what you said. It is complete BS that so many games come out in a state where fans, working as amateurs in the best sense of the word (i.e. people who do something because they love it, not for payment or whatnot) have to fix uncountable bugs and other simple issues that should have been done by the professional devs who are actually being paid to do the job (e.g. misplaced world elements that were hand placed by devs and not procedurally generated, such as the bazillion rocks that were cured of their anti-gravity in the unofficial patch. Or were only procedurally generated as a first step and were meant to be tweaked/changed by hand (look at the horrid facial movement in Mass Effect Andromeda... then, just to hammer the point home, go look at the early video of not-Wrex's mission and how GOOD they were there).
Ok, Skyrim is awesome. My playtime is somewhere in the lower 5 digits (I ended up putting over 400 hours on completely unmodded oldrim over the last month or two, in what started as a performance test on my Steam Deck... a performance test that was supposed to last 2-3 hours at most.. ffs) But so many systems are 1/3 complete or only work half the time or are cut but are still included in the game as pure bloat (they could just as easily been cut from the game and still released as part of the creation kit if they really wanted to). AND THIS IS A GAME THAT IS AWESOME... look at the stuff which is nowhere near as good of a product.
Oh, one other problem. There is a snowballs chance in hell of modding the game that much and then just stop modding the game, in order to play out the rest of your days in peace. Modding Skyrim is more addictive than crack combined with the availability of cheap chinese knockoff goods offered for the low low price of nothing + your soul.
btw: true fun was installing over 700 active mods on oldrim (plus god knows how many other replacers and skse stuff and so on). Sure there was the limit of 255 active esp mods... but that is where merging mods comes into the picture. All the automation you get like checking for updates via NMM go bye bye, since the merged mods become a custom mod of your own creation and it is up to you, to know what is in what merged set, what can and cant be merged, recreating the merged file everytime you want to update anything in it, or even if you want to change the color of something that would have given a quick setup had it all been done as a single mod through NMM. Then to top it off no BOSS or anything, again its all on you. Ahh fun times, the days when modding Skyrim was a game in and of itself.
Modding is awesome, but let's not pretend it isn't a well loved game despite that. It was groundbreaking for its time, and you can only expect so much from a dev team on a time limit. OBVIOUSLY when you have an army of modders that could fill a small country, they could all focus on individual aspects of the game that can be improved upon. Dev teams aren't so lucky. Let's not forget that it was the game that made modding popular, not the other way around.
The Skyrim shouts are in lore are basically what the ancient language is in Eragon. Something that can tear the very world apart and bend it to the users will.
I mean ya that makes sense he literarily defeated Alduin the creature who’s job it is is to end the world aka a fundamental force of nature

You were expecting dragonborn but it was me DIO.
*Whoah.* hot vampire daddy.
A lore-accurate Dragonborn would breathe fire in the same way the dragons do: as a consistent, solid, infernal stream, rather than the brief burst that the game lets you do.
Dude, I have been playing Skyrim for almost 10 years and this is the first time I have been genuinely terrified of the Dragonborn like he is so OP its no wonder he's the first one Since Tiber Septim there is only enough room for one at a time if there were a bunch of Dragoborns running around the world would be chaos although imagine an army of Dragonborns VS. The Aldmeri Dominion (probably spelled that wrong I do apologise)
Well, they wouldn't even need an entire army to beat the Aldmeri. Just one group of angry old dragonborns shouting should do the trick. I mean they can literally send the Dominion running away or cowering in fear with the Bend Will shout.
He's not the first Dragonborn since Tiber Septim, anyone who carries dragon's blood is a dragonborn. Every single Emperor is dragonborn. It's just that for the majority of their time ruling, there haven't been dragons around, so no souls to absorb. They also haven't trained their thu'um because of this.
@@rustyshackleford1508 Well everyone talks like Tiber Septim was the last one some of the guards even talk about it when you absorb your first dragon soul admittedly they're guards and only know so much but yeah. Not saying you're wrong just that's why I got confused or whatever.
wouldnt even need an army, they'd just need 5 Dragonborn at roughly the level of the Greybeards
Hell even just the Greybeards could defeat the Aldmeri Dominion.
@@rustyshackleford1508 nah the whole premise of the game is there havent been any dragonbor OR dragons. The prophecy is about THE LAST dragonborn appearing when Alduin returns. No one has any idea what happens in elder scrolls after that, so lore writers get a blank page after this

I always had a personal head cannon that after my character helped the Stormcloacks win the civil war the Aldmeri basically tell the empire “You guys failed, let us handle this upstart for you!”. To which my character, his companions and the entire leadership of Skyrim boil down the defenses to four places: High Hrothgar for the leadership, Markarth for civilian protection in a Dwemer city, Dawnguard keep for my character and his companions and Blackreach for the military. Using the mapped and cleared out Dwemer Ruins to launch Gurrilla raids on the Aldmeri, and Dawnguard keeps natural choke point to hold the more focused attacks. The civilians would be safe within the old Dwemer Ruins and have the mages guild erect barriers to shield from Magic. High Hrothgar is already treacherous on the climb and telling Parthy and his buddies to do daily sweeps on the mountain side to keep it cleared would be enough. The invasion would basically end with my character and all his companions leading a charge on Aldmeri command and slaying everyone there and sending the severed heads back and a warning.
Keep in mind though that Skyrim is an entire country, it takes days or weeks to travel from hold to hold.
i was a stormcloak supporter like you, but ew racism
also the genocide on snow elves but ew racism
lore accurate dragonborn whirlwind sprints to sommerset isles bends them all to his will and makes them drown themselves in the ocean surrounding
This is a pretty cool head cannon, but in all seriousness you wouldn't even need that just send Dovahkiin to the summerset isles and start slaughtering every thalmor until they surrender, it probable wouldn't take long seeing how powerful the dovahkiin is (Lore wise anyway)
@@schloop8351 Very true, but game wise it would be fun. Granted I hate the Aldmeri even though my character is one 99% of the time, so I view it as a middle finger to the Aldmeri Dominion in general.
This is why siding with the stormcloaks and fighting the dominion would be feasible. This is also why I support the LDB as Emperor.
Somehow just even having a mod with such attention to details of the dragonborn holding the shield over his head to protect from the rain somehow makes this a far pretty Skyrim game.
I just hope Elder Scrolls 6 succeeds in the best way possible.
This. My hope is that the Anniversary edition was the sign of Bethesda learning from the modding community, and that these constant rereleases are to cover while they develop TES:VI
Assuming the last Dragonborn is the strongest (except Talos) he would be able to tear mountains apart with his full power.
He could split the fucking ground on a continental basis. It's safe to say that even an army of 100,000 would be as easy to defeat as the bandits in this video, even if they don't rout after 5 seconds and fight to the death.
Actually the last dragonborn is probably stronger than Talos was because he has access to dragon souls to roid up his power so unless you are taking the Numidium into account The last dragonborn is probably way stronger than Talos pre Chim and Numidium
People need to separate Talos from Tiber Septim. Talos is more than one human that fused together and ascend to godhood, Tiber Septim was one single man with the dragon blood and without the dragon soul
That was pretty badass. I had no idea the dragonborn was a being capable of such unimaginable power. Really awesome.
Considering Miraak shouted so hard that he broke Solstheim off the rest of the continent, this is a child picking apart ants in the grass.

Wtf are you on about
Dragonborn: if I am who you say I am, do you really think this….was your best course of action?
Bandits: what do you mean? It’s 5 against one
Dragonborn: Yes. See your mistake.
Shouting should've had its own "breath" resource bar, akin to stamina or magicka. Rather than implementing cooldowns on shouting, have it deplete the dragonborn's breath proportional to the cooldown a shout would normally have. The strength of your shouts would correlate to how much breath you had when you used it, and rather than a cooldown you'd have to consciously manage your shouting frequency to avoid your shouts becoming ineffective from rapid overuse.
good mod idea

I have a theory that Bethesda didn't make any lines for the main character not just because of immersion issues, but because lore wise the Dragonborn can reshape the world around him with just words alone, he could speak a person into nothingness, shout a mountain to oblivion etc... Imagine him talking regularly to people.
They may not be spoken by a VA, but the dragonborn has *plenty* of written dialogue.
@@anonymousanimal5179Maybe he telepathically communicates 🤔

Man, I have that Cloaks of Skyrim, what cloak is that? Never seen in before.
I think it's one of the Companions' ones. Symbol on the bottom of it looks like Ysgramor's axe.
@@Nobody-wx6rk It must be different for original Skyrim cuz I have the companions one and it is red, lined with gold trim and has Wuuthrad in the center, also in that gold thread.
It was named something like Cloak of Talos or something. Its in the windhelm temple.
The shout "Marked for Death" would be utterly terrifying if it were accurately portrayed. It's like suffering from radiation sickness - you just feel sick and in pain as your DNA dies, organs start to fail and you die an agonizing death over the course of a week or even a month.
I aleays thought that the DB would use dragon aspect followed by storm shout to siege a fortress. Strenthening his body and laying waste to random enemies via lighting.
ya know i genuinely wish fighting the aldmeri dominion was in the DLC... youre the dragonborn for christs sake. one of the strongest individual in the world at that time.
The LAST Dragonborn. Everyone always seems to forget that part.
@@caninelupus8369 which means even more you should be helping Skyrim get those evil bastards outta there :)
@@caninelupus8369 I prefer to think of him as The Last Dragonbender - given he can turn them to his will and all...
Lore Dragonborn: One man army.
In-game Dragonborn: Stealth archer.
The greybeards say that there were many dragonborns who wasted their gifts. I think it is not lore-friendly to assume all dragonborns achieved their full potential. Maybe they used their powers only to seduce women or satisfy an alcohol addiction.
I feel attacked
Well the Last Dragon canonically has to achieve a level of power and skill necessary to defeat Alduin, so it's safe to assume that this video is lore accurate for the specific dragonborn we play as.
The wizard dude we meet in dragonborn dlc also calls us the second most powerful dragonborn to exist, with likely only tiber septim being above the last dragonborn, at least as he was then.
Tiber septim took decades to get to his power, the last dragonborn, if we're being extra generous to how long this takes, took max 5 years to become the second strongest dragonborn.
Add on to that the dragonborn's extended lifespan, and any magic shenanigans that might occur, it's very feasible that later in the series we hear of the last dragonborn surpassing even tiber septim.
@@Vaultyboi22 how long has it been since you beat the dragonborn dlc? miraak was explicitly stated to be the most powerful dragonborn of all time before the player ousted him.
@@dane1382 i literally played it the same day i posted that.
Bro wtf is wrong with me lmfao
