I heard that Skyrim had a story which was hundreds of hours long. Therefore, when I played it I only played the main story missions and ignored all the side quests and locations.
I was horribly underleveled for the final boss and had to cheese it and I only realised I had played the game completely wrong when the credits rolled and there were no more story quests to do...
How can you be under leveled? Isn't Alduin level scaled?
Yes and no.
Everything still has a minimum level. Alduin being the final boss is still pretty high level at his lowest level. Same with the Dragon Priests. Those dudes are almost impossible when you're less than level 10.
If you just did the MQ and nothing else, even if you kill everything in your path during the dungeons, you'll barely have leveled. You won't level at if you just run through everything!
Oh... I'm not sure but I had a really hard time beating him... maybe I just sucked.
Just before you fight Alduin there's some dude you have to beat up if I remember correctly, I think Tsun guarding the bridge to the Hall of Valor? I remember him just one-shotting me so I had to crawl into some terrain he couldn't hit me from and I just very slowly killed him with a bow and arrow when I had absolutely no proficiency in archery.
