You can't just dismiss the Hero of Daggerfall.

For example, there was a killable enemy in the game called "Daedra Lord"

Of course, you can speculate as to what a deadra lord in TES II: Daggerfall was, but it means the Hero of Daggerfall definitely was not a push over.

As for the EC, while he was probably the weakest of the protagonists, he definitely was not a common man. Going through all those dungeons across Tamriel and collecting the pieces of the Staff of Chaos, and confronting arguably the most powerful mage in all of Tamriel is no menial task.
