First it was clear that the Nedic woman St. Alessia was the first existing Dragonborn. But then out of nowhere, they change that and said Miraak was the first dragonborn, just so they could squeeze in another god forsaken DLC. Worse yet, they hardly even explain how Miraak became the first Dragonborn. Atleast Alessia's backstory was more solid, with how her people were oppressed by the Daedra worshipping Elves, and so Akatosh lit the Dragonfires and established a barrier between Oblivion and Nirn. But with Dragonborn dlc, so little or nothing is explained. I agree, it was kinda random. It bugs me because the Dragonborn story wasn't really necessary, they could've told something about the Thalmor or something, but no, Bethesda had to give the Morrowind fandboys an incredibly obvious handjob. Dragonborn, while fun, feels weird in that sense. Near the end I was expecting Vivec to come out in a cane and tophat to do a song and dance routine.
