I thought it just made the Dragonborn's achievement all the better, that he actually managed to beat it. It seems a bit pointless that eventually Alduin will destroy the world, what's the point in just delaying it?

What is the procedure for Alduin coming back anyway? will he just get up and walk it off? and is it just impossible to ever beat him? that doesn't make sense, he's no god, just a really, really, really strong dragon.

And wasn't the prophecy made by the Nord survivors of the Dragon war? they knew they were only sending him forward in time, they just figured that that was when the world would end, it doesn't have to.

I don't know, it all seems a bit fishy to me and frankly its ruined the main story completely. I wouldn't count simply delaying the end of the world as actually saving it. Alduin is the first-born of Akatosh, I don't think he would just die, although I also don't know how he would come back seeing how his body was completely destroyed....

I wouldn't go as far as saying that Alduin is not a god. In Skyrim, he's generally known as the Nordic God of Destruction, so...

Also, which prophecy are you talking about? The one about the Last Dragonborn? I think that one came from an Elder Scroll or the Blades...

It was a bit unusual how everything went down concerning Alduin, but I think it has the potential to lead to a greater plot later down the line...
