Wow, this thread went on for a long time. May I jump in ?

Paarthurnax and all the other Dragons left ( sniff ! ) refer to him as their  Fallen god , in that final scene atop the Throat of the World when they are mourning him. I personally felt sad for their loss, although destroying him was necessary, which Paarthurnax understands. I feel that Dragons ought to be considered smart enough to know the difference between a god and not a god. If they considered him a god, then I'll agree with that.

The history of Tamriel is full of mortal beings becoming gods by various means, like that Dunmer Tribune that attained godhood, Nerevar, and Talos. ( Helloooooo !!! ) Alduin is repeatedly referred to as  the Firstborn of Akatosh  throughout the game. Sounds like some kind of god to me.

Now, as to MIRAAK. Got a little ahead of himself there, didn't he ? Having those poor Solstheimers slaving away involuntarily to try to build him a temple ? Pretentious, to say the least. I'm personally glad that the Last Dragonborn gets to put him in his place. Too bad it takes the involvement of that wretched, creepy Hermaus Mora. Btw, cudos to the voice actors for them, and Paarthurnax. Fabulous job making them come across as awesome, arrogant, creepy, or annoying as hell.
