I've worked my Redguard to a really high level (with the help of Legendary skills) to meet this guy.

Level 80!

Amazing... (you know how difficult it is to level-up even into to the seventies).

But no Ebony Warrior.

It's been kinda spooky, because every door I exit through, every town I fast-travel into, I'm keeping an eye out for him.

Reached Level 81 and a half... but still nothing.

Boom! Came around a corner in Windhelm, right there behind Candlehearth Hall, and he 'grabbed' me (there's no ignoring him).

Lord, is he big!

He's a monster. My guy barely comes up to his shoulder!

Awesome. Simply bloody awesome.

Who says there are no new thrills after many (~2000) hours gameplay?

He's one of the most impressive things I've seen; he sure looks good.

My guy looked like a little popsicle, standing beside him in Heavy Stalhrim, heheh...

It's 99.9% over & out for my Redguard Smitty.

All done; finito...

And I haven't actually fought this guy yet, because it'll really be 'over' once that occurs.

Well I suppose I had better do it... or what?

I'll be sad to beat him (and bloody sad to lose)!

So it's a no-win situation... what a fabulous game.

It's never over if you can roll a new character.

LoL, heheh...
That's what I'm afraid of!
Deathly afraid (at ~600 hours per).

The Ebony Warrior? Oh, you mean Reflect Blows. Common mistake.

That's only a problem if you use over-powered weapons. The rest is all him. He can take on 5 Draugr Death Overlords at once. He can also single-handedly take on an entire city even if they all attack at once.

I rarely, rarely use weapons that go over 200. I would instantly die when I hacked at him.
