Also I never said Talos could just smite all his enemies however I did point out that he has yet to get involved. You could say the Dragonborn might be an avatar of Talos however, that is entirely left up to the player.

But my main point has consistantly been about how this is entirely a speculative topic and there is no "right or wrong" answer. One person could say Talos, another can say Sithis, and yet another can say Lorkahn, but in the end there is no diffinative correct answer. It is all up to however the player wishes to play out the game as they want. My point isn't about oversimplifing lore or even the importance that flavor text has on a game. But rather to remove some of the importance you seem to place on lore. Flavor text is flexable material used in a manner as to provide the audience with the abilty to sustain disbelief. Its one of the factors that helps to draw you in and keep you there in the make believe world provided to entertain you. But in the end it is Flavor text and thus isn't really set in stone as it were. Somethings can be sworn truths only to be discovered falsehoods later. Its a privlage writers, developers, (even producers although you pray they don't) all use to keep a story going. So again, there is no right or wrong answer to the topic, everyone is entitled to present their opinion, you may or may not agree but trying to shoot people down on an opinion based topic is just silly. But there is evidence that the Dovahkiin is an avatar of Talos.

Don't get me wrong, I do understand what you are saying, but it doesn't necessarily apply entirely to this topic. When it comes down to this you really have to look deep into the lore to find out what would be considered "the most powerful god" otherwise it's just well... an opinion. Part of understanding the lore is knowing when your opinion is wrong, trust me I've seen a fair share of people on this wiki who refuse to aknowledge certain aspects of the lore just because it interferes with their opinions, which is nothing but stubborn denial that they are wrong. I've actually been sort of "disqualifying" the Anu/Padomay gods since they seem to be what most would consider, the obvious choices; as well as the fact that they are all equal opposites making them all as powerful as each other (Though Anu appears to have become more powerful than Padomay).
