Farfetch'd is judging you!
Exactly! When we first met, Miraak said something along the lines of "Pfft I could've beaten Alduin myself if I wanted to." I was like, yeah, right, and here you are cowering in a plane of Oblivion instead of destroying Alduin and becoming one of the most famous figures in history...

Well, he was stuck there. We prevented his escape by blowing up the structures that were still under construction.

I think Miirak has some help. I don't think he killed all ten dragons at the same time. Or those were dragons that may have sided with Miirak. Who knows...

But he could have dealt with Alduin back when he was still on Nirn, but that little pu**y uses that dumb "I chose a different path" excuse.
I agree with the disappointment regarding his mask, I'm mean come on, that enchantment can be found anywhere. The robes are cool though, the tentacle explosion is nice when in melee combat, but one thing that's annoying as hell is when you get hit by a long range enemy attack like an arrow that triggers the effect, what's that all about? The enemies aren't even close!
Especially annoying if one plays as an archer an uses the steady hand perk, the tentacles disrupts the field of vision kind of like the ebony mail does when sneaking, so instead of having a clear shot at the enemy you have slimy tentacles doing a slow motion dance in your face.

Miraak was never said to have any dragons. In fact, in a time when people worshiped them he was said to "devour them". If you were a dragon would you have served him to face danger from both the other dragons and Miraak himself or joined the dragon cult and receive worship and tribute. He only has dragons now because they're endangered and looking for power wherever it lies.
Yup, he's a total wimp, he took down 10 dragons when they assaulted his temple en force. Do you HONESTLY think that he could have taken Alduin down during the height of the dragon cult? Effectively going against all the dragons AND nords in Skyrim? I don't think so.

Alduin could have killed him by him self he wouldent even need the dragons to help him though it would have been a hell of a fight.

Try to understand... Alduin was the leader of the dragon cult (which controlled the whole of Skyrim at the moment). Just like IRL leaders of nations are protected by those that surround them.
Like how when the dohvakiin beat Alduin at the Throat of the World and he escaped and forced the dohvakiin to fight through more of his dragon cult dragur and dragons.

I know im saying alduin could have killed mirrak without his army he could have kill him on his own.

Have you forgotten he knew how to bend the will of dragons? That was kind of the main point of Miirak, that he was so powerful that even dragons bent to his will. Also, Miirak WAS a dragon cultist. And when I said "help", I didn't mean just from dragons.
Well...He obviously belived that he could take Alduin. Of course I KNEW he wouldn't be able to, mainly because if he could have taken him he would have done it.
Just picture this, Miirak and Alduin are in the same time period. Miirak CLAIMS he could have killed Alduin, but did he? No, he didn't. Instead he uses that stupid excuse "I chose a different path" to cover his panzy ass.
To conclude, I don't know where you were going with the whole "He killed ten dragons" thing. You sir, just contradicted yourself. My whole point was, Miirak was a big panzy who likes to bluff. He claimed he could have killed Alduin, he should've done it if he could have. The reason he didn't is because he couldn't.

I was SAYING that he was not "a total wimp", as you so specifically put it, and that he could not have overpowered Alduin. It doesn't matter that he was in the dragon cult because Alduin WAS the dragon cult. Miraak obviously had a falling out when instead of worshipping dragons, HE BENT THEM TO HIS WILL AND KILLED THEM, causing them to assault his temple and BURN IT TO THE GROUND.

It says he defeated him, not killed him. HE watched Miraak after he was banished to Solstheim.
Maybe, he got more powerful after being stuck in Apocropha(not sure if thats the right spelling). I mean, he certainly put up more of a fight then Alduin in my game. I think if he got out during the events of Dragonborn, Miraak could have killed him.

Gameplay =/= lore. Be sure to make that distinction. In lore Alduin can destroy the very world while Miraak is some no-name new dragon priest for the Dragonborn expansion.

I think mirrak was weak from fighting dragons when vahlok the jalier beat him because i dont see any dragon priest beating miraak at full power.

A dragon priest jailed him. No mortal defeated him.

If I may intrude, in an ingame book it says neither Vahlok nor Dragons killed him. In fact he did not die at all he was whisked away to the magical land of books, knowledge and... tentacles as Vahlok was about to finish Miraak off.
