Noble intentions(Alduin became corrupted), servant to the same being(Akatosh), incredible power, vast array of choices, same kind of soul, much of the same powers. The only thing seperating Dragons from the dragonborn is the physical form. Before you disagree, think about it. Dovah were supposedly, "made to dominate". Most Dragonborn were rulers of vast lands, and the first, well, you've seen him. Only the Last didn't rule anywhere, and he dominated his enemies.

If the soul wasn't different when the Dragonborn dies his soul isn't just sitting there, it would be sent where his actions lead him/her during their life.
