Corvo vs Dragonborn

Corvo from Dishonored, the Dragonborn from Skyrim.

Round 1: Dragonborn full power (all shouts, no cooldown); Corvo has full Outsider gifts and his normal weaponry.

Round 2: Dragonborn half-power (all shouts, in-game cooldowns); Corvo has full Outsider gifts and his normal weaponry.

This really isn't something that can be discussed well, being as shouts are only a small part of the powers available to you in Skyrim...

The one who according to lore should be capable of leveling settlements with a single shout.

Dovahkiin is also apparently powerful enough to rival the power of a Daedric Prince, according to Clavicus Vile (The Prince in this case being Vile).

Corvo could possess him and stab himself.

Dovahkiin could say a word and blow him up.

Also, what kind of Dovahkiin are we talking here? Fully developed?

All shouts, all words.

You misunderstand.

Magic? Physical abilities? Etc.

I assume he is a Nord, since manly men play Nords.

Hmm, I'll go with the character who appears in the artwork and trailers, sword and shield specialist.

Dragonborn is far more powerful but Coro has hax powers. Really comes down to who uses their powers first.

Clavicus Vile with his power being split amongst himself and Barbas.

~ Also, yeah, the Dragonborn wins. His Unrelenting Force would one-shot Corvo.
Even while using his Possession, Corvo can barely walk, let alone use a sword. Maybe with Stop Time he could do something, but he'd have to use it off the bat.

Possession and the second level of his Bend Time are really the only things he has over the Dragonborn, and while possessing a human, his movements are severely limited. A pack of rats and wind honestly is not going to do much against someone who is durable enough to withstand small-building busting attacks. Whereas the Dragonborn can summon storms, dragons & dead warriors, one shot Corvo with Unrelenting Force, freeze him with Ice Form, disarm him, become intangible, and so on and so forth.

Plus he should be physically strong enough to mangle Corvo bare-handed.

Sure. And that's all good and dandy, but if Corvo uses Bend Time it's over. BTW, Corvo should be able to evade some of Dovahkiin's attacks with blink.

He's evading a Thu'um that renders a couple kilometers in front of him a flattened wasteland?

I frankly dispute Corvo's ability to seriously injure Dovahkiin, who could withstand the unbridled might of the Greybeard's Voices. Those guys who shake mountaintops with whispers.

When has the Thu'um ever flattened a landscape into a wasteland? The only time I can recall something like that being mentioned is when Tiber reshaped Cyrodiil and I always felt that that was due to chim rather than the Thu'um hence the "in royalty" part.

Regardless, Corvo can simply teleport behind the Dovahkiin, which should protect him from the Thu'um.

As for resisting the Greybeards, I never took that to be due to his durability. But rather, a magical resistance against such attacks.

When the Greybeards spoke to Tiber Septim, all of Mundus shook and nearby settlements had to be evacuated. The Dragons could reshape the land with their Voices, and Dovahkiin's Thu'um is explicitly on par with Alduin's, by his own words. Even a random Master of the Voice, a young one, can blast through castle fortifications with a single Shout.

Perhaps.

You may be right actually, I vaguely recall Jurgen Windcaller or whatever that douche's name is actually sucking the Voices of ten assailants into him, swallowing them.

If he does manage to get it off, I don't know if he could cause enough damage to take out the Dragonborn before the timestop wears off.
Depends on where he blinks to, and if he casts it before the Shout it used.

Blink isn't really teleportation, but transportation at a very high speed. You can't get past Walls of Light with it, not unless Time is stopped with Bend Time. That wouldn't matter if it were true teleportation.

Sounds like Whirlwind Rush, lol.

Lol yeah, in basic concept it is exactly the same, but Blink looks like it is faster, and he can move upwards with it.

Also, Dovahkiin could use the Become Ethereal Thu'um to avoid any damage Corvo boy tried to do if he used his Time stop right off the bat.
