And Kodlak was ambushed. The Silver Hand DID have the element of surprise and the fact Kodlak is old may have been an advantage to the young Silver Hand warriors. Giving Kodlak a scare and your reaction times at that age are slow.

The thing I disagree with that guy is: being dragonborn doesn't make you invincible or even tougher than everyone else. It just means you can learn shouts and spells without training. Shouts morseo than spells. You can learn spells quickly but they aren't as strong without training. You can strengthen your shouts, that's true but you don't need training, or as much training as normal people.

If you participate in that one drinking competition, 3 glasses of alcohol made you drunk. But if you drink it normally without that competition, you don't get drunk, ever. Wrong. Aela was also wrong. There is no "way he talked to everyone". Skjor was a brave and honorable man. He fought bravely. Anyone who thinks otherwise has a wrong mindset. "Rushed in like a fool". What are you talking about? Of course he rushes in, what do you want him to do? Skjor did definitely the right thing and so did Kodlak.

And the way you described the Dragonborn is also wrong. Have you been paying attention? The Dragonborn does make you stronger than others. You have the soul of a Dragon. What do you mean "training"? Have you played Skyrim? The Dragonborn doesn't need any of that. That's why he is the Dragonborn. He is the chosen one.
