..dragons returning to planet nirn, then why are they still there after he's defeated? You'd think the storyline would mean that when the big boss is dead, his dragons (his serpent servants) would disappear too. Obviously from a gameplay POV they need to be there so that players can have fun killing infinite dragons. But does the need for the game to still have dragons after the main quest is done make the story flawed? Or was the world only going to end by Alduin single handedly destroying it, and the other dragons weren't important for that purpose anyway?
