Alduin is just "TEH BIG BLACK EVUL DRAGON" and Dagon is laughable. Yeah I always found that Skyrim's main quest is pretty basic compared to the previous 2 games.

Morrowind: Dagoth Ur wants to use the Ash Blight and Corprus disease to control the minds of the Dunmer. He also wants to use the Heart of Lorkhan to power Akhulakan to drive the Empire out of Morrowind and secure Morrowind's independence.

Oblivion: Mehrunes Dagon uses the Mythic Dawn Cult to assassinate the Septim Dynasty. This causes the Dragonfires to go out, which allows the Mythic Dawn to open Oblivion Gates and Daedra to invade Mundus. Mehrunes Dagon wants to conquer Mundus and make it a new Realm of Oblivion.

Skyrim:  Alduin wants to destroy the world.

Don't get me wrong, I love all the TES games to bits, but Skyrim's not exactly a complex epic in that regard.

Though Oblivion will always be my favorite. *braces for fan rage* Yeah it's jsut how you say it.

Morrowind: Dagoth Ur wanted to drive everyone mad.

Oblivion: Mehrunes Dagon wanted to invade Tamriel for his own.

Skyrim:Alduin raised many dragons again and his goal was to destroy the world. But he traveled to Sovngarde to regein his power. The dragons has been dead until the Dragon War I tought.

It's just how you think about it. It's still a very simple reasoning/plot compared to previous TES games. This isn't a bad thing, but Alduin's motivations and goals aren't very complex.
