The point about dragons is interesting, since Dragons have served the Septims loyally before.

See: Nafaalilargus from Redguard, among others. It actually makes a great deal of sense. The main objection might be that it is 'too clean' an ending when the point of Skyrim's civil war storyline was to make a difficult choice.

I guess you could say it breaks the ending.

A "Dragon Break" if you will.

Eh? Eh?

Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if Elder Scrolls VI heavily implies a resolution like this of some kind, maybe taking place a generation or so in the future and implying that the current Emperor could be a descendent of the Dragonborn. If nothing else, it's an excuse to have dragon battles in the next game.
