I understand that the way the game is built can pose challenges for making difficult bosses. Both Alduin and Harkon weren't very difficult to defeat on any level of difficulty in my opinion. I've enjoyed everything Bethesda has brought me, every TES game and all the accompanying dlc. I'm not here to complain, but simply express my hope that the first Dragonborn will be able to show me a thing or two. My character is a Vampire Lord/Werewolf Hybrid with mostly daedric items. Get comfy, I'm about to get theatrical.

Varcolac the Breton (my character) is gifted with Molag Bal's Vampire Lord form, allowing him to access the unholy blood magic. He is cursed with Hircine's Werewolf form, allowing him an unmatched physical prowess. He wields Mephala's Ebony blade, which drains the blood of his foes with every strike, strengthening him all the while. He is one who carries Mehrune's Razor, which grants death at any moment. He dons Mephala's Ebony Mail, which shrouds him in poisonous shadows. His face is covered with Nocturnal's Nightingale Hood, adding to his mystique and illusory abilities. All this is complemented by his enchanted Bonehawk Ring and Bonehawk Necklace. His Breton blood in combination with his alteration abilites and certain standing stones makes him nearly invulnerable to magic. The product of what I have taken my time to create is a Daedric black knight who is proficient in all forms of combat, be it open combat, stealth combat, or magical combat. He's not just the latest Dragonborn.

Dramatic bragging aside, my character doesn't svck at fighting, and I'm hoping that the first Dragonborn won't either. What could Bethesda do to make the fight against the Dragonborn a challenge?

...are you really starting a "what character are you playing" thread in this sub forum...?

No, I'm starting a "the Dragonborn should be difficult thread" as said in the topic.

He should be difficult. The only reason we're able to attain such power is because we're Dragonborn, so it wouldn't make sense for the first Dragonborn to be a complete pushover like every other "boss" in Skyrim.

I agree that it wouldn't make sense, but Harkon was a VL and he spends most of his time running from you. That's why I'm hoping they have a good game plan for making this a memorable fight.
