This really made me laugh

I missed that part, but I'm sure Bronn will die in battle before he reaches that point. He's a warrior at heart, and he hasn't exactly surrounded himself with people who would encourage him to retire from that life (married Aela The Huntress, has two sons that admire his adventuring ways, etc.)
I think there is magic in those rocks. I wouldn't be so sure that the Blue Palace is going anywhere any time soon.
I don't think he's leaving Tamriel. He might journey outside of Skyrim depending what the war against the Thalmor calls for, but there is just too much to do and see in Tamriel for him to worry about exploring Akavir or Pyadonea.
Anybody's Dragonborn could see that sort of deal, but I think the stock Dragonborn would likely resist the influence of the Daedric Princes.
Anyway, I think my Skyrim adventuring may have just come to an end. After power grinding my way to level 78, I finally fought and defeated a Legendary Dragon. It took me months to get there, having to grind alchemy (bought ingredients and made potions over and over and over again, which made me filthy rich in the process), light armor (equipped dragon scale armor and let 3 trolls kick the crap out of me), block (equipped a shield and let some Forsworn whack me around while blocking), speech (exploit with the dude running the counter at the Black Briar Meadery), conjuration (cast soul trap at a dead bear over and over again), illusion (cast muffle over and over again) destruction (just used the crap out of it), alteration (went to an abandoned Imperial camp and cast stoneflesh over and over again), restoration (taped down my right trigger while casting heal and let an Imperial Legate swing away at Bronn while I watched an episode of The Wire). After all that my only skills not at level 100 are restoration, pickpocketing, and destruction, though destruction is at something like 92 or 93.
So anyway, I fought the Legendary Dragon, but it was hardly a challenge. I mean, I'm level 78 and I've been playing forever. My armor rating is over 1000, I have a battle axe that deals something like 250 points a swing, and Dragonrend promises to knock the dragon out of the sky so I can pound away at it. I killed it within two minutes.
I was given the treat of a strategic dragon battle during my power grinding. Destruction is a bitch to grind if you don't take advantage of the right situations earlier in the game (I didn't), so I pretty much just walked around Skyrim fighting whatever I could. A high level dragon attacked me eventually, and since I was wearing robes and other magical equipment that granted me lots of magical perks but little protection, I had to really maneuver carefully. I would shoot fireballs when I could and hide behind rocks whenever it fired one of its breath attacks at me. It was a lot of fun.
But as I said, my Skyrim days may be over unless they release another DLC. Hell, there are only 8 achievements left that I haven't unlocked, and half of them are things I could acquire quite easily, and the others would require so much work that I don't even want to attempt getting them.
I have my finals tomorrow, but I'm not sweating them. My Cuban Film Final seems more like a final quiz than a final exam, and my Chinese final is something that I'm going to have to cheat my way through. Luckily, that should be easy considering it's an online final and while it is in a class room, I can't imagine the professor being overly vigilant.
Also... aren't you in your first year of university?
But, what if the Dragonborn leaves Tamriel to save it from himself. Dragons, and men who have been gifted with it feel the dragon's desire to conquer and dominate. The stock Dragonborn clearly cares for his land, which is why he fought off the son of Akatosh. If he stays in Tamriel sooner or later he's going to try and conquer the land in his own name. That may not sit well with him, hence following the Nevarine in a futile attempt at conquering another continent.
If he stays and conquers (or attempts to, at least) Tamriel, what makes him any better than Thalmor or fucking General Talos, who was also a Dragonborn?
If he's constantly being thrown challenges like Thalmor and Daedric Princes, I think he'd be a little too busy to worry about conquering for himself.

Fuck erbody but me
You know what really sucks? Taking a big rip of the bowl, holding it in, and then sneezing uncontrollably.
Motherfucker. That hurt.
Motherfucker. That hurt.
Yeah. I know i probably shouldn't fret but I do this the whole time.
That does sound painful. I'll make sure not to do that when I'm smoking a bowl before the Grateful Dead concert this weekend.
On behalf of every person who has ever been to college for more than a semester, I'd kindly invite you to blow me. It gets much harder from here on out, brother.
But here's the thing, he like all other dragons lusts for power, and when fighting a war that will manifest as taking more land for yourself. Even Paarthurnax still feels the urge to conquer after thousands of years, and I doubt any self respecting dragonborn is going to be willing to isolate himself until he dies to fight his inate urge to dominate.
EDIT: also, it seems to be a rule that at some point between games, the previous protagonist fucks off and/or dies. Crossing the ocean to save Tamriel from himself accomplishes that.

I could be wrong, but isn't the time span between games is typically a couple hundred years?
No.
Time between ES1 and ES2: 6 years (though ES2's storyline takes 12 years canonically)
Time between ES2 and ES3: 10 years
Time between ES3 and ES4: 6 years
Time Between ES4 and ES5: ~200 years

Ok, it has been a while
Where are you getting this information? I was always under the impression that the Dragonborn had a little more self-control than that. He is, after all, physiologically different from dragons in many ways.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Paarthurnax say words to that effect? Also, the kind of self control it took for Paarthurnax (i.e. isolation and meditation) doesn't exactly fit with the Dragonborn fighting on the front lines.
Got finals at 8 AM and 10:30 AM tomorrow. I should probably wake up at like, 7:30, but I'm not very tired right now. I'm hoping another game of Madden will be just the thing to make me sleepy.
Not that I recall, though I've always had trouble understanding Parthurnax and I rarely ever turn on the subtitles. What you're saying makes sense, but I'm not sure I buy it wholesale.

I leave my phone on my metal windowsill next to my bed at night. This is usually a great place to keep it, but occasionally some asshole decides to post something to my Facebook wall at like, 6 in the morning and the vibrating against metal wakes me up. I suppose I should be glad and use this time to study a little considering I'm not that tired, but dammit I want to go back to sleep!
However, something inspired me to check the grade for my final paper for the one class I've already wrapped up, my advanced writing in the disciplines class. 100. And the professor left me a kick ass comment talking about how my writing style is just enough personality, content, and that I'm not allowed to take risks. I have no idea if she comes up with these types of compliments for all strong writers, but it made me feel good about myself. Good way to start my finals morning!

Surely you should be pleased, no?
Kruger's getting screentime and wrestling Gabriel... while teaming with Kassius Ohno. Who I despise.

That's all well and good, but Rollins lost the title. I thought that'd at least bring a smirk.
