What occurs in game does not always directly translate to canon. Due to natural player progression there reaches a point where the player can singlehandedly destroy armies (I even did this once exploiting the fort quests), but that doesn't mean the you are that powerful in canon. The Dragonborn is an accomplished warrior, but could be easily overrun by fighting 100 guards at the same time. Keep in mind maybe you've thousands of Draugr, but you never fought more than maybe 10 at once.
