Have you ever wondered what would happen if you approached Durnehviir without killing a single dragon? I decided to check it out. To do this, I went to the Soul Cairn, where, after talking to Valerica, I had to defeat three Keepers to remove the barrier and gain access to Durnehviir. I did just that, first defeating the first Keeper, then the second, and finally the third. Then I returned to the ancient vampire, where there was no longer a barrier. After conversing with her, I finally gained access to the location with Durnehviir. After that, I entered and finally managed to engage in combat with the ancient dragon. Since I was at a low level, I even managed to die once, but after the second attempt, I was able to defeat him. After the battle, I exited the location, where the dragon I had defeated was finally waiting for me. After a while, the conversation reached the point where he was supposed to call me Dragonborn, just like he did last time we met. And here's what he said this time.
