Just curious is that's possible with mod tools for Skyrim.

I'd LOVE to be able to fly around on a Dragon and spray enemies with it's breath weapon.



Thanks.

Well there are flying mounts available for the PC version of Oblivion, so I don't doubt it will happen.

^^ This, someone made a flying dragon mount mod for oblivion.

Probably. We won't know until someone tries it, and they can't try it until they have the game and sufficient mod tools.

Dragon armour mod. Nao.

if bethesda doesn't do it themselves i have no doubt someone else will.

The problem is parenting the player character model with the dragon model, getting control and making it look good won't be easy, the easiest method is to transer player controls directly to the dragon and just have the player character model as an attached moveable static.

Unfortunately, I'm sure that it will be possible.

it is possible, turn horse = dragon + ride

There were flying dragon mounts for Morrowind and for Oblivion and those games didn't even feature dragons originally. So there's no doubt that there will be dragon mount mods for Skyrim very, very soon.

Whether we can just "make it ridable" is yet to be seen, but given we have a working dragon model/animations, we'll find a work-around and make it possible one way or another and it'll look quite good too since the animations are professional.

Why unfortunately?

No one is going to make you install the mod, just so you know

Well they did it in Oblivion so I don't see why not.

They will, I'm sure. Though I honestly don't understand why anyone would want that. The Akatosh mount in Oblivion already looked fairly ridiculous and for me ride-able dragons don't fit into Elder Scrolls. Now, turning into dragon yourself, that would be awesome.

"Mountable" dragons? Heh, eventually.

I know no one will make me download the mod. I just don't like seeing art get defaced.

It's like finding out that Shakespeare's been converted into "text speak" so teenagers don't have to actually learn English. I don't have to read it, but I don't have to approve of actions that destroy the original art.

Yes it can be done absolutely! Just look at what they did in oblivion with akatosh mounts. That was amazing and they created models, textures, animations and rigging from nothing! Now they already have dragons flying in place. It's probably pretty hard to get right, but absolutely possible I think.

<---- my Oblivion character on her dragon, watching a sunset. Looking forward to the SKYRIM version within the year.

What are the destructive aspects of being able to ride a dragon, art-wise?

Also, the anology you provided really does not fit at all.

Riding dragons will be part of dlc along with shivering isles and horse armor... lol Jk... Although, it seems likely that it would be possible, but until we see the modding tools ourselves, there is no definite answer.

In what way is this defacing art?
It's making that art better and if you like the art the way it was before, just don't look for new versions.

There is actually good reason for this mod, it's not just a case of "herp derp let's make a dragon mount" - major spoilers follow from the main quest

Edited for accuracy.

The way the dragons have been implemented (at least from descriptions and trailers) seems relatively subtle and well-managed, compared to what could have happened. They all look like they belong in the world, and they aren't absurdly present. They can talk, but there's very little evidence of Ghost Rider Syndrome. In other words, the designers didn't just say "What would every pre-adolescent boy find super-awesome about dragons?" and add that to the game.

Riding dragons is an inherently ridiculous thing to do. It looks silly and over-the-top. It obliterates any sense of the initial restrained design sense that the developers offered up. How to Train Your Dragon was an awesome movie, but it doesn't fit in with the overall aesthetic of this game.

Like I said, I know I'm not being asked to play it. I just don't like seeing people take a really good design and run it into the ground (or in this case, put it in the air).

Edited for some of the new stuff: If it does make an appearance in the main quest, I'm willing to bet that the player will not be in control of the journey.

forget riding a dragon, I want a mod that lets me be a weredragon. They I can try to have sky battles against dragons.
