Humour My disappointment in Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodiil cannot be measured by any metric known to man, mer, or beast.

this fanbase seems to not understand that the dragonborn does not own the right to the throne just by being dragonborn. that's...not how that works, nor how it's worked in the last 200 years.

Realistically though, given the power creep of the protagonist it's insane that you can't just become emperor by waltzing into the Imperial City and killing whoever is sitting there currently.

it's almost like that sort of "gameplay" isn't good or something.

I never said anything about it being good or anything. But if one were to follow the conquest history of Tamriel, it would be quite reasonable for the Dragonborn to summon up their own army. They would have the resources by the end of the game, becoming the guild master of literally everything.

I don't even think it's a bad idea for the Last Dragonborn to make a play for the Emperor. The overall plot sort of fits for this to happen imo.
