SPOILERS, so yeah, duh, don't read if you haven't finished it...

Finally defeated Alduin tonight. It was a kinda lame to be honest. I dunno, maybe I'm tough to impress. We all have different things that 'wow' each of us in games.

Cool thing was, that I got my Archery to 100 just before fighting Alduin and chose the last Perk available for Archery upon leveling up right after. Freaking SWEET, 15% chance of paralyzing!

Alduin was SO much easier the second time though.

Your thoughts? Trophies are nice to have, lol.

I loved the main quest up until the last part, which was extremely weak. There was so much build up and in the end you shout at some mist and then beat him in around 30 seconds, extremely anticlimactic.

I agree with the above, I found it very lacking for the end of the MAIN quest. I'm hoping to see mods come out to make this better.

I think the end of it came too quickly. It needed some padding I think between Throat of the world, and Skuldafn. Sovngarde should have probably been larger and longer, and the entire fight with Alduin alone needs to be totally scrapped and redone from the ground up to be something worthy of being called a final storyline boss.

I mean, it's like we beat him at the Throat of the world, an hour later...we're fighting him again, he is exactly the same, has the same stats, doesn't get any harder or gain any new tricks or abilities that could turn the fight around, and we have three invincible npcs helping to divert his attention when he was already pretty easy. It's like they deliberately designed it to be impossible to lose.

Kind of like a let down. Could probably have ended it at throat of the world, or maybe after the last instead of going to soverngard, you go back in time, then come out and fight Alduin. Might have made it better for me.
