@auction_sniper: Dodging lightning in a game is rather meaningless. Dovahkiin is dodging and blocking lightning spells as well. And Golden Fleece doesn't protect Kratos' entire body. Also, UF harms all enemies. As stated, in Lore it has been used to obliterate entire castles. And that was by people who were not Dragonborn. Also fact that Kratos, even being strong, doesn't weigh like ten or so tons. So even by mechanic standard he'd get blown away.
As far as vocal prowess. Zeus affected weather patterns in an area. When the Graybeards whispered the name "Talos", the entire World shook as a side-effect. These are guys who are a step below the Ancient Tongues who battled Alduin in the Mythic Era. And their power combined wasn't enough, even with Dragonred. Yet the Dovahkiin by himself possessed the power to rival and even exceed Alduin at the height of his power.
As far as soul manipulation. Kratos needs to use the Claws of Hades to take a persons soul. Dovahkiin has weapons, spells and the Soul Tear shout that can all do that. And as far as conjuring dead spirits, Dovahkiin can do that and more. His Illusion magic is also powerful enough to affect even the dead and can turn them on Kratos.
Also, Dovahkiin has Auriel's Shield. While the Fleece can reflect direct magic attacks, Dovahkiin's shield can actually absorb all the force used against it and collect that power within itself and release that collective energy when used to strike an opponent. It also makes the Dovahkiin all but invincible. As even if it couldn't be used to stop an attack, like an AoE spell or the shield isn't brought to bear in time, it can restore the wielders physical status and guard them from injury. This makes Auriel's Shield many times more useful and powerful than the Golden Fleece.
As far as Mehrune's Razor, yes the Fleece can block it, or any tough enough piece of armor. However, if it even so much as scratches Kratos, it will kill him instantly. That is how it had always functioned in the lore and was made so by Mehrune's Dagon, the Daedric Prince of Destruction.
