You mean the things the Dragonborn is half as powerful as before Dragonborn? Kek.
The Nerevarine defeated gods who defeated Daedric Lords, and before you say they were weakened he defeated the god who defeated them.
The Champion of Cyrodiil straight up defeated a Daedric Lord.
The Dragonborn killed an actual aspect of the Time-God, because Alduin is a literal god. Before going through the massive-power curve that learning Bend Will is, lore-wise.
The Daedric Lords ain't shit.
Lulz. You defeat him in single combat on top of the Throat of the World, because Paarthurnax's help means absolute shit. And the people who help you in Sovngarde are one's he absolutely destroyed the first time. Only the Dragonborn can defeat Alduin. That's ES 101.
Besides, Miraak was basically a god in his own right by the end of Dragonborn. Hermaeus Mora wouldn't have been able to do shit without you defeating him.
Daedric Lords get all kinds of hype, but they're weak as shit away from their realms, which are more like nexus to draw off of.

Kinda what I meant tbh. daedric lords in their own realms of Oblivion I felt were stronger than the protags/Alduin.
Nah, Alduin wasn't nearly as powerful in Skyrim for ES reasons like not wanting to eat the world. Alduin eats Daedric Realms, so they obviously aren't stronger than him. He created Mehrunes Dagon, lulz(in obscure OOG lore).
Then why didn't he stop him? Because he was afraid. By that point, Miraak was too strong and knew too much. This is the guy who blew up massive chunks of land to create the island of Solstheim at his weakest.

That said, the main Dragonborn > Miraak, right? Because IIRC there were statements here and there that even with the bend will shit, he'd be the 2nd strongest Dragonborn ever.
Done. I swear I'm not making any of that up.

Think before you ask for more information, SKILLZ. It might unmake you.
