I have to shake my head in astonishment at the people here who think the dragons are boring and unoriginal. That's like saying you would prefer if Skyrim never had dragons, which is an opinion that should be shot down. I mean for people saying there should be no dragon based DLC, are you honestly turning away from oh say having Dragon mounts in the future? I mean come on. Dragons are part of the reason why the game is so fun. I haven't seen any sound reasoning yet why Deagon based DLC is a bad idea.
The real source of that complaint is the fact that the dragons are rather weak. They should be absolute TERRORS for anyone under level 40, and even then they should be a profoundly daunting challenge.
For me, at level 63 with heavily enchanted armor and weapons, even teh strongest dragons are simply no challenge at all. It shouldn't be that way.
Terrors indeed. I implement mods to make them damn near impossible to kill before level 20. You see a Dragon at low levels...the ONLY survival option is to run. That is the way it should be.
Having said that I don't even trigger the Dragons for some characters. As a matter of fact, before I moved to PC. Out of 10 characters, I only triggered them twice. The whole "Dragon" thing is not the sole pushing point if Skyrim.
In vanilla they are just a nuisance. Sad but true. They are just too weak to be of any threat.
Still, we (the vanilla market) do not need more Dragons. The DLC should focus on other areas and content.
