SPOILERS!

So I saw some people say that the Last Dragonborn (the player in Skyrim) is more powerful than the Hero of Kvatch (the player in Oblivion). This is obvious in gameplay because in Skyrim there is a new dragonborn dynamic to combat Skyrim is a newer game with newer combat. Lore-wise, the Hero of Kvatch becomes the Champion of Cyrodiil, the Gray Fox, the Divine Crusader, and eventually - New Sheogorath.

The Last Dragonborn becomes really epic because he/she's the last Dragonborn, and you're really powerful, but he/she doesn't become a Daedric Prince. The Hero of Kvatch grows in power over time so much that they become Sheogorath, a Daedric Prince.

To put this in Contrast, here's what the Hero of Kvatch becomes - Champion of Cyrodiil - defeats Mehrunes Dagon's plot. Get's Dragon Emperor Armor. - Gray Fox - steals an Elder Scroll and creates a separate magical identity (essentially you can be 2 different people, the Gray Fox and yourself, plus you're stealthy enough to steal an elder scroll). - Divine Crusader - blessed armor/weapons from the Aedra, blessed to defeat Umaril the Unfeathered and get special abilities. - New Sheogorath - you help Sheogorath in killing his alternate identity Jyggalag and become the new Daedric prince of Madness (you kill a Daedric Prince, become the new version and inherit your own plane of oblivion and get the powers of a Daedric Prince: the powers of a God).

The Last Dragonborn defeats Alduin with a bunch of other Dragonborn friends. How is he more powerful than this? ^

I love Skyrim, but lore-wise - the character you create in Oblivion eventually becomes much more powerful than the character you create in Skyrim.
