Which is why some descendent claiming his ancestor was the Dovahkiin simply won't work. It could work, but only if it's so far down the line that it wouldn't be too out of the question that the descendant of the dragonborn is from a completely different race.

Yeah, but how far will we have to go? I think it'd have to be more than just 200 years, and if we missed a new emperor being crowned and a Great War starting and ending within the span of 200 years, think of how much we're going to miss if the next game skips ahead 500 years? Honestly, I think Bethesda could be more creative than just make the next TES game be about the descendent emperor of the Dragonborn.
