How do you skip the Dragonborn quest in Skyrim?

The main initiator of the entire Dragonborn questline is usually being attacked by Cultists in Skyrim after meeting with the Greybeards.

Does Skyrim end when you finish the main quest?

No, basically you just carry on after pretty much doing every quest. It just goes on. But, in a sense, the best ending is the one where you can go see Paarthurnaax (I think is how it's spelled) again.

What level should I be for Dawnguard?

Say whatever you like about Bethesda, but you certainly can't accuse it of skimping on content when it comes to Skyrim. Dawnguard activates when the player's character hits level 10 –although I'd advise players tackle it only after they've shot past level 30 as the DLC contains some powerful foes.

Does the Last Dragonborn have a claim to the throne?

Does the Dragonborn have a claim to the Ruby Throne due to being a child of Akatosh? No, but not for what you think. First off, just because you are a Dragonborn doesn't automatically make you Emperor. Just look at Miraak, or any major Dragonborn since or previously.

Can the Dragonborn be killed?

So my question is: What actually happens when the last dragonborn is mortaly wounded? Do they die?

Otherwise you'd be recycled through the Dreamsleeve.

What is the best level to complete Skyrim main quest?

It doesn't matter. Most enemies scale with your level, so you can pretty much rush through the main quest without doing anything else if you want. Skyrim doesn't really have an end, but I assume you meant the main quest. But I'd say any level above level 20 is about right.

Can I still side with Dawnguard?

Depends. If you cure yourself (with Falion in Morthal) almost immediately, Isren will allow you to rejoin Dawnguard. However, if you waited too long and levelled up your Vampire perks, you will notice that Dawnguard members will start to attack you (especially in towns). At this point, it is too late.
