One thing for certain, the last Dragonborn seem to be stronger then the other Dragonborns. Our old friend Parthy mentions that when you reach his "strumah" that climbing to the very top of this mountain is not an easy task for mortal, even one of Dragon soul and presumably blood. Does that mean that the last Dragonborn is even stornger then Talos? Or Talos was one of the few Dragonborns who had mannaged to survive the perilous journey to the very summing of the mountain?

Also, on the topic of Talos being the weakest god. I do belive that in Oblivion, he was considered to be the god of war. How weak do you think a war god is? Besides, if you remember correctly, among other things, Blessing of Talos in oblivion increased your strengh temporarily. Can you think of any other devines that increased your strengh in Oblivion, therefor increasing your carring capasity?

Maybe he doesn't have the power to turn people to ash with a single stare, but being a devine combined with physical strengh, that might make him among the stongest ones. I mean if he is a divine, he would not be so easily killed, even by divine powers, and I am sure he would be able to beat up any other divines out there, if he needed to. Well maybe besides Akatosh, who being a time god could easily trap Talos in never ending cycle of something.

The bottom line here, is that he might not be the strongest, but he probably wouldn't be the weakest. Oh and to those that say that Shor is a weak god since his brethren killed him and because he doesn't have any shrines in Tamriel. I suggest you reading the official guide to Skyrim, the paper one. In the religion of Skyrim (or Tamriel), you will find them mentioning that the dead gods (or extinct gods), don't need any temples on Nirn, since they got the biggest one of all, the Hall of Valor in Sovenguard. By extinct, I am sure they mean Shor and Tsun who were killed in battle against the mer gods. I think Jihnal or Juhnal also considers to be somewhat extinct, even though he is supposedly Julianos of the Empire. Although he and Zenithar might be as well extinct by the time of Skyrim, since they mention that barely anyone worship them anymore. It seems that Mages and scholars only mostly worship Julianos and you find ocassionaly people worshiping Zenithar (mostly hard working Argonians). I feel like the order of strongest Dragonborns would like this (greatest to least)

Dovahkiin

Miraak

Wulfharth

Talos

Alessia

Reman

Septim Dynasty

Reman Dynasty

I have to wonder, if the Dovahkiin was an avatar of Talos, would that make him a Shezarrine, or something else?
