I always found the idea of the amulet of kings breaking in order to solve the Oblivion Crisis one of the more odd points in the main Oblivion quest line.

- If it is simply caused by the amulet breaking, why did no one do this (or even think of doing this) in the thousands of years the amulet existed? Is someone trying to say that it was never even dropped in all this time?

- If indeed the barriers are sealed permanently by the amulets destruction, why did Akatosh not seal them permanently in the first place? Clearly such a thing is possible..

- How does simply besting Mehrunes Dagon in a 1-on-1 round of fisticuffs seal said barriers? What was stopping the other Daedra lords from simply going 'i want in on this!' and entering Nirn aswell?
