Rigid Generic wrote: On the contrary, I hated how Bethesda twisted the whole "First Dragonborn" lore in the Dragonborn DLC. First it was clear that the Nedic woman St. Alessia was the first existing Dragonborn. But then out of nowhere, they change that and said Miraak was the first dragonborn, just so they could squeeze in another god forsaken DLC. Worse yet, they hardly even explain how Miraak became the first Dragonborn. Atleast Alessia's backstory was more solid, with how her people were oppressed by the Daedra worshipping Elves, and so Akatosh lit the Dragonfires and established a barrier between Oblivion and Nirn. But with Dragonborn dlc, so little or nothing is explained. Yeah not only that Miraak had little to no backstory, he was in my opinion a cool character with a lot of potential in the story. Instead of making him some type of Darth Vader-esque villain who truly challenges the Dragonborn he was another generic "take over Tamriel" guy with ended being a pawn to Hermeaus Mora. Like we haven't had enough of THOSE villains!
