I think if I understand this right you're just asking if he could become as bad ass as a player could make him on his own? Like if it was real life could he do everything that we could controlling him? Probably not. As there is no hardcore mode in Skyrim like there is in Fallout New Vegas I'd imagine he'd get pretty freaking tired doing everything we do first off, second off I don't think theres anyone in lore that has become a champion of all the daedric princes (granted this isn't required but I always do it). I don't think he'd be as weak as Pink Slim makes him to be haha. But he definently wouldn't be as powerful as we could get him. I'm thinking somewhat stronger than Ulfric. Or around it. He could be a leader and still become a hero and be written about though. I'm not saying he's weak, just that he probably wouldn't have been lucky enough to survive helgen.
