Sadly there weren' any improvements in weaponry, it could even be argued they got worse, and the Dragonborn didin't have access to anything material that the previous ones did. All of the artifacts toy mention, with the exception of Dawnbreakr, were also availble to the others, and other artifacts which the Dragonborn doesn't have available to him.

As I stated elsewhere, if the Nervarine is still alive, and there have been no indications she's dead, she's had at least 150 years to hone her skills, which were already awesome when Morrowind ended.

Shouts do give the Dragonborn an advantage, but at range they can easily be avoided.
