Defeating Alduin isn't my main concern.

Right?!?!? I bought Battlefield 3 so I could pretend to have a desk job in the military. It forced me to be a soldier! Wtf! I bought a game about being a soldier just to be forced to play as a soldier. Rip off!


imagine the main goal of Batlefield was to end all war forever, you succeed, but the game continues afterward.
with no more war, all that's left is the desk job, and now all that's left to fight is those damnable, half-finished tax forms.
you can't stand half-finished tax forms, so you figure you'll just throw them away. there's the trash can, go right ahead.
whelp there they are, in the trash now to go organize your paper clips. oh wait a second, the tax forms climbed out of
the trash can and back onto your desk. i guess all you can do is finish them or ignore them. you certainly don't want to finish them
because that just means you've given into their evil, so i guess they're just going to sit there, on your desk, forever half-finished.
mocking you and your inability to get rid of them. despite the fact that they mean nothing without being done and their paper will
slowly but surely dissolve over time.

i want to be more than a soldier, i want to be the best damn soldier i can be. and to do that i need to end all evil, small and half-dead or large and incharge.

i actually found there wasnt enough dialogue between Alduin and the dragonborn. in some way i felt my character was running after a being that i didnt know allot about ... like chasing after a complete stranger to try and kill him . All i knew about Alduin was only from Parthonax's words .
dont get me wrong of course your going to hunt down dragons after they randomly attack villages and kill people but all i knew was that Alduin the world eater was apparently prophesied to destroy everything ... it just seems that isnt enough in m opinion .

one other thing ... if dragons are far more smarter then men and mer or beast why is it in there nature to destroy and create a wasteland ... it seems a bit basic .
so if dragons are to destroy and eat everything they should be viewed more as a pest rather then intelligent godlike beings , so in my opinion dragons should not be able to speak at all .

this is probs completely off topic lol

but all in all i love skyrim and the whole saving the world thing .



That's actually a great point i didn't even think about. It seems that most bad guys, from Goldfinger to Alduin, just want to set the world on fire and watch it burn.
Then again maybe being hyper-intelligent just drives you insane enough to destroy the world you live on. Though I see Alduin's destruction of man, mer, and beast
more as mindless revenge. Remember, just because they prophisized he would destroy the world doesn't mean he'll actually
destroy it. Maybe he'll just kill all humanoid life to make way for a return of dragon dominance. World-Eater could just mean eating its population, like how my
grandma says 2012 will just change to world in some small way "ending" it as we've come to know it.
