Summary
Bethesda’sgames usually let players enjoy a power fantasy for the ages, transforming from weaklings into ridiculously powerful characters who can decimate the gods themselves. Of course, other NPCs also boast a ridiculous amount of power, making them either fearsome foes or valuable allies.
Either way, fans will find severalstrong characters in Bethesda gameswho use their might for good or evil. Their accomplishments in their respective games speak volumes about the sheer amount of power they bring to the table.
8Mysterious Stranger
Appears And Disappears At A Moment’s Notice
While the actual strength of theMysterious Strangerhasn’t been documented, most people assume that this mystical figure boasts some kind of supernatural power. After all, there’s no other explanation for the way he just magically appears in combat and blasts the protagonist’s enemies to smithereens.
Fans have hotly debated the true nature of this figure’s existence, making it clear that he’s one of the most interesting characters in theFalloutseries. It’s entirely possible that he can take on the entire wasteland by himself if he decides to get serious, but this is mere speculation at this point.
From the moment players step into the hostile world ofFallout 3after living a comfortable life as a Vault Dweller, it’s clear that they’ll be in for a rough time. They’ll barely take a few steps before being ambushed and obliterated by a powerful foe.
It takes a while for theLone Wandererto gain enough levels to deal with powerful foes like Deathclaws and Radscorpions. Eventually, they’ll reach a point where even the explosion of a mini-nuke isn’t enough to stop them, even if it’ll cause substantial damage.
The perk system ofFallout 4was criticized for making the game a bit too easy. Bethesda intentionally made this change to appeal to mainstream audiences instead of hardcore RPG fans; in that regard, they were successful.
However, this also means thattheSole Survivorcan become the strongestFalloutprotagonistby a country mile. After all, this character could take on a Deathclaw right after being thawed, making it clear that their strength knows no bounds.
5Almalexia
A Villainous God Who Tries To Manipulate The Nerevarine
The Elder Scrollsfeatures some of the strongest and most revered gods in video game history. This includesAlmalexia, the Patron Mother, who was supposed to be a tender-hearted god.
However, instead of looking out for her subjects, Almalexia was thirsting for power and had manipulated the Nerevarine to get her way. Her treachery is eventually uncovered, and the herotakes out this power-hungry god after a hellacious battle.
The Dragonbornhas some of the most diverse powersinElder Scrollshistory, able to use both Shouts and magic, among other attacks, to take out their enemies. As most people would expect, the protagonist’s powers are lacking early on, making it easy for a giant to send them flying with his club.
Eventually, players will acquire numerous abilities, powers, and high-level equipment to even the playing field. This will turn most of the threats inSkyriminto a complete joke, including the legendary Alduin himself.
3Vivec
A Powerful God Revered As A Warrior-Poet
Vivecis a revered god who had a city built and named after him. He’s clearly one of the most powerful divine figures in the series and is a crucial character during Nerevarine’s adventures inMorrowind.
Vivec is lauded as a Warrior-Poet, making it clear that his combat prowess is in a class of its own. Watching him make an appearanceinThe Elder Scrolls Onlinewas a treat for many fans.
It’s impressive just how weak the hero is when they get off the boat and enter Seyda Neen.Morrowind’slack of level scaling means that lowly bandits can cut players down if they aren’t careful during their adventures.
As the story progresses, the hero becomes strong enough to survive a deadly disease and can even kill gods in one-on-one battles. This feat of strength alone is enough toestablish theNerevarineas one of the strongest Bethesda charactersof all time.
The strength of theHero of Kvatchdepends on whether players completeThe Shivering Islesexpansion forOblivion. Before this DLC, the protagonist was pretty competent, but most people would still rank him lower than other protagonists inThe Elder Scrolls.
However, by the end ofThe Shivering Isles, the hero can free Jyggalag from the cycle of repeating the Greymarch. This turns the Hero of Kvatch intothe Daedric Prince of Madness, Sheogorath, which is an impressive reward after the deadly adventures that the player endures in this lauded expansion.
