A great example of what an *authentic fantasy dragon* ought to be. Grand. Intelligent. And most importantly, prideful. A creature you cant help but respect despite its capacity for entropy. An entity that isnt just used as another poultry animal to slay, but as a cosmic embodiment of destruction itself. A being that isn't wrathful by any petty desire to lay waste for it's own sake, but because it itself *is* destruction, bound by nature itself to play its necessary role. That which puts the "high" in high fantasy. The absolute summit of the classic heroes journey.

Grigori is fucking insane. He doesn’t mock the arisen, instead pushes them to their limits and shows respect. He knows that if you can’t beat him, how will you face what’s to come? He’s the driving force and makes you earn your victory.... well, at roughly lvl 40 on a new game, but still.

Something I like about this game is that you never feel pressured to carry on with the main story like in a lot of RPGs. Grigori straight up tells you that you aren't ready so you don't feel dumb for disregarding the main plot for a while even though you can go right to the Grigori battle after this.

A small detail I noticed that demonstrates how badly Gransys' armies underestimate Grigori: It's stated that the fort this scene takes place in was built specifically and intentionally to withstand and protect from the dragon. By that logic, they made it with the singular purpose in mind of it being one of their most effective shields against Grigori. All Grigori did was land in the fort and then take off, and he straight up totaled it. The duke's men could not be more in over their heads.

I loved the job David Lodge did as Grigori. :) His voice was absolutely *perfect* for it with how gravelly it is, fitting for the voice of a massive Dragon. :D Grigori was by far one of my favorite parts of Dragon's Dogma. And he's also only seen and interacted with *three* times in total during the story: the first time is when you try in vain to fight him off when he attacks Cassardis, the second is here at Greatwall after defeating the Wights summoned by Elysion, and the third is your final battle with him at the Tainted Mountain Temple. So Grigori isn't an antagonist whose presence is constantly rammed down your throat, those few times he makes an appearance in person, it's for something that has a definitive impact on the game's story. :)

Grigori teaches a philosophy so fascinating it effected my perception of the real world, Alduin has no dialogue. Grigori has destroyed civilizations for as long as anybody can remember, Alduin threatened to slob about in the Norse afterlife eating souls. Grigori practices magic and language unknowable by mortals, Alduin barely speaks his own language that is also somehow spoken better by the Dovahkiin. Grigori decides who gets to become god, None of the gods or Deidra seem to even talk about Alduin. Defeating Grigori requires a protracted, challenging battle (provided you are not a ranger because rangers are OP) over a whole mountain range while Alduin requires 30 seconds. Grigori is enormous while Alduin is tiny. Pretty much any dragon is cooler than Alduin, Bethesda really messed up.

MrCompassionate01 I think Alduin wasn't actually intended to be a cool dragon, more along the lines of an arrogant SOB who thought he was the strongest because he was the first born of a god.
