Flying Dragons (melee problems?)

Post » Mon May 07, 2012 10:39 am

Do you have to damage the dragon enough for it to land on the ground or do they just land after a set amount of time? I don't want to run around screaming in circles with my axes out waiting for the dragon to land so I can slash its scales apart..

I'm sure they fly kinda low and if not then they're bound to land sometime or another. And then there's shouts.

Can you use shouts one than once a day? Like are they continuous with recharge.

And the first trailer for Skyrim, Dovahkiin slices upward, cutting the low-flying Dragon pretty well! :goodjob:

I believe shouts use up Stamina, which recharges naturally like in previous games. As for the original question, I'm pretty sure most dragons will land at some point. From the videos I've seen, it also looks like they'll sometimes fly low enough to get a good strike in.

I'm sure they'll make it so that dragon makes low passes as it strafes you with its breath weapon, so you can hack at it as it flies by, but I'm sure after a few passes it will land and allow you to tear it up.

I heard that shouts dont use up stamina or mana. Shouts just have a cooldown time until you can use one again.

The last place I remember reading about shouts use stamina is in the Game Informer that had Skyrim on the cover, so I could be out of date. I haven't been paying too much attention to the shouts.

Untrue.

Shouts that use Stamina, use it because it makes sense. Whirlwind Sprint uses stamina... it makes sense... it's sprinting.

Shouts that logically don't need stamina, don't use stamina. Unrelenting Force doesn't use stamina. It's a shout (I mean literally a shout... you know.. a SHOUT shout.. like force push... but with your voice?... ok, I'll stop now)

Shouts don't use magicka either (none that I know)

Shouts can be used more than once per day.

Everytime you use a shout, a "gradient" effect appears in your compass bar. It gradually moves outward in both directions. When this effect reaches the edges of the compass bar, your shouts can be used again. The time it takes for the effects to move all the way to the edges represents the shout's recharge time.

If you hold down the Shout button when shouting, your shout will use its higher levels (level 2 and 3) instead. The higher levels have a longer recharge time.

I think sprinting uses the stamina.

Whirliwind sprint affects the movement speed, and that alone.

Speaking of fighting, any non-lethal engagement shouts/weapons in the game? I'm not quite sure if TES supported pacifist or semi-pacifist approaches in the first place I'm sorry to say especially as someone who's played every main title and completed Arena and Daggerfall to the best of my abilities(Although you never really "complete" Daggerfall)

in the demo that todd howard played he swung at the dragon while it was flying and im positive someone who made the game wouldnt do something if it was innefective. so theres a good chance u can hurt it with melee weapons while flying
