So after you complete the main quest will folk start acknowledging you as Dragonborn? I don't want to be treated as common folk after I've saved the world. They kinda did in Oblivion with that Champion of Cyrodil talk but there would be that one jerk who forgot you saved the friggin day.

I was in a tavern and the bard sung a song about me killing Alduin. I guess new songs become available.

That's pretty sweet!

You're the new companion recruit, so you what...fetch the mead?

Want to know exactly where? It happened to me at the inn in Dawnstar. There is a female bard there and there are two new songs, one about the dDagonborn and one about Alduin's defeat. Go check it out! Also a female singing Ragnar the Red is pretty funny too. She sings it more rock and roll like.

Most of the bards know only 2 songs, one of them is the coming of Dovakhiin..
Considering I'm the new Harbinger and guards still keep telling me that I fetch the mead for the Companions, the most likely answer is NO! You'll always be the filthy "sneak thief".

Nah there's 4 so far.

1. That song about "children of skyrim" song

2. Ragnar the Red

3. The coming of Dovahkiin

4. Alduin's rise and defeat

Most people don't even knew about the whole "Alduin is going to eat the World" thing.

The recognition is very insignificant. People comment more on my "bad decision" to release the dragon from Whiterun than on the fact that it worked, and I went to freaking Sovengarde to defeat the World Eater.

So yea, it's whatever. Honestly, at the end, you are left standing on a mountain by yourself withotu so much as anyone to talk to. I'mma let you finish, but it's the most empty, deflated main quest victory of all time. Of all time.

LOL they don't know their own myths and legends but most of them are totally nationalist XD
That's worse joke than a Finn who doesn't know the Kalevala.

They probably know the myth about Alduin eating the world, they just don't know that it's happening as they speak.
