Please explain how Skjor wasn't overconfident? He rushed in like a fool. Aela even said he shouldn't have done that and his death proves her right. The way he talked to everyone makes me think he's a bit overconfident and thinks he's invincible.

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.
