Dragons are too easy? : V - Skyrim

Something is not right when a dragon breaths fire on me and it takes out 1/3 of my life, and it regens all back before he attacks again.

But a mini boss at the end of a dungeon will kill me in 3 seconds.

Even on easier difficulties, I think dragons get stronger as you progress, not just in level but in the story as well.

I will admit, I'm taking some of them out. They have a good amount of HP, a lot more than my usual fare of enemies, but it doesn't do much to me either.
That'll change when I feel confident enough to bump up my difficult a tad (I lowered it a while ago because an Ice Troll kicked my ass).

What difficulty are you all playing on?

Kind of makes a difference, you know.

lol.. not rly, even at novice it takes a long while to kill a dragon. had to tone it down from expert to adept, but even then it's rather difficult. maybe if you're 20+ you shoudln't have much of a problem

actually i find melee characters with shield mich easier to tackle dragons than pure mage type who has to maintain some distance. before i have some magic defense my mage character is so vulnerable to breadth. i got killed three times in the first dragon fight near whiterun.

with my melee character it was rly easy just close inand attack. when dragon shouts bash. dragon's melee wasnt ao deadly as its breadth.

I get "well-done" before I am able to reach most dragon's melee range, but it is true I kept trying to flank them to avoid head to head melee... I supose if I get elemental shield asap and if his attacks are bashable/blockable... it may work... will try

Ive been killed alot honestly by just ice wraiths or being overwhelmed by bandits flanking me. the dragons have "oh shhiii" as my Imperial Crusader fights them. ran into 3, crazy fights.
