Correct me if I'm wrong...

Those who are more knowledgeable about Skyrim lore please let me know if I'm off the mark, but wasn't Alduin in a physical vessel or something during the events of Skyrim?

As in, limited to that body and not currently 2-C?

Alduin in Skyrim is the same Alduin in Kalpic devouring times. Esbern had a prophetic vision of Alduin going through his world-destruction process, but there is a slight difference in Paarthurnax's discussion: Alduin wants to rule.

Alduin still keeps his power as his kalpic destroyer; however, it just happens that Last Dragonborn is becoming rapidly more powerful than him. Kelle bound him to the Earthbones and BFRd him into the future via an Elder Scroll. If it wasn't for Kelle/Kynareth, Alduin as immortal as he already is will come back a few seconds after you destroyed him.

Alduin in Skyrim is still 2-C. He wasn't weak at all, but his immortality was slightly tweaked by the Divines.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the info.

And I still cannot understand why Paarthurnax's only High 6-A when he fought with Alduin.

 

[Creaturemaster971]

I also don't think the Ebony Warrior should scale to Miraak or Alduin. His appearance is level-based, not event-based.

Then again, I also just think that Skyrim's bosses seem so much cooler when they're not Universe-busters

he really could do nothing to alduin, as soon as he went after him alduin send him crashing back down

Not sure if this is right, but doesn't him being smacked down instead of erased completely by a wayward glance constitute a reason for 2-C since the difference between the upper and lower tier of that level is infinite?

For what i can remember alduing really didnt do anything special he just hit him and he went down and there he stayed.

I never understood any characters from Skyrim being that strong as they all die from a sword/bow

But we play out that lore. It's not as if its some off screen battle. They are saying in the final mission against alduin that we are a certain level when we clearly aren't.

yes we have the same fight as in lore but only as a representation lets say to give you an example: alduin in the game just destroys a big rock during our fight in the game, now on the Lore during our fight we are shaking the world and destroying time. thats how big the diference is in game vs lore
