Yes.

Dragons show up.

They burn things.

You learn you have a dragon soul.

And you shout at and slash the dragons until they go away and stop roasting people.

That's about it.

im more talking about how at some point in the game, every single fucking character relevant to the story gangs up to force you to make an entirely black or white choice, with no neutral path or way to "settle differences"

either kill the mario dragon and get locked out of all the cool Greybeard shit or don't kill the mario dragon and lose all the cool Blades shit

I thought that was just a fancy upgrade-and-beat-the-villain arc, like with the vampires and crossbows.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

The dragon plotline is the main questline in the game.

It's horribly underdeveloped.

And the Greybeards/Blades thing is so utterly pointless it doesn't even matter.

it's still one of the most bullshit attempts at a "gray" moral choice i've ever seen

the dragon you were sent to kill has done nothing but help you

has been living on top of a mountain constantly meditating so he can be prepared to stop the BBEG when he comes back

has taught a bunch of old farts how to yell really loudly

teachs you how to burp fire and also make dragons fall

and suddenly "we think paarthurnax may betray us, you must kill him or we will cease all contact"

and until you do they'll act like pricks towards you constantly

Further proof that you don't play Skyrim for the writing, characters, or plot.

Because all of it's terrible.

Trip.

Bethesda doesn't write good plots.

They never have.

They write good lore, but not good plots.

Gameplay wasn't even mentioned you're just injecting non-relevant material.

In regards to his prisoners, Nimbus is channeling his inner Ultra Magnus.

Anyone who gets the joke is my new best friend

he's not thinking clearly and will likely invite disaster to those around him because he has a huge ego?

People play Elderscrolls because they open worlds and easily modded games.

open world and easily moddable are signs of a fun game

a good designed game is a different story and skyrim is not that good in terms of design

b-but muh modders

[up] you'd have to be a real dingdong to give money out of spite
