Do Dragons also Pick the player and drop him?

I thought this never happened... actually, i never saw this happened after the imperial who got grabbed in Helgen by Alduin... but the dragon in Markarth when traveling with Esbern and Selphine grabbed me and released me in the air... i thought that wasent supposed to happened to the player... wish i had video that, then i reloaded a save i had couple mins before that and instead of grabbing me he grabbed esbern and threw him directly into the lake... daaamn that dragon has issues!

It happened to me ONE time a long long time ago and hasnt happened since. I was like 10 hp from death and he did it. Needless to say I died.

I think it does happen on occasion, I think its one of their finishing moves, and it only happens if your health is low enough.

I was at full health, Esbern and Delphine was doing all the work while i was hiding behind a rock closely being warned by a Brown Bear... i didnt even saw the dragon, i kinda saw my char in a odd ragdoll animation and started falling, when the camera move a bit i saw the dragon few meters from me... never expected that after all the miriad of dragons i have slayed.

Huh, what level were you and what dragon was it? If you were a relatively low level and the dragon was a relatively high level then it could have done a finishing move on you at full health.

I wish Dragons tossed me around like the rag doll I am. You're lucky, OP. :sadvaultboy:

Lvl 23, i was on my way to check Alduin Wall with Esbern and Delphine in Markarth, "we" were fighting a whole bunch of Forsworn, i eerr... was actually hiding behind a rock because there were ice and arrow projectiles everywhere, so decided to watch the fight from far while Esbern and Delphine took care of them, then i saw a dragon coming, i think it was a green blood dragon... this was just outside the cave that goes into the Akaviri ruins...

I been slacking since 11/11/11 to actually play as the DragonBorn, just been playing as non dragonborn adventurers, mostly 4 chars with 350 hours of Gameplay each, so i decided to finally know whats with the main quest...

Anyway i was hiding behind the rock when i hear a roar, it was a brown bear asking to retreat... while i was thinking to attack or just retreat i watched how the whole scene zoom out and started moving hellish fast toward the sky in a strange ragdoll animation, i didnt even knew what happened... first thing i thought was that one of the many Glitches made itself apparent, but then i saw the dragon flying just close to me and then i knew what happened... wish i had recorded that, but everything happened so fast, i didnt even hit the ground because the game reloaded itself, second time the dragon grabbed Esbern and dropped him in the river or lake that follows little further from the forsworn floating camp.

Still have the same Save game, ill try to reload few times and have the Record button ready, but chances are this wont happen again for the next 600 hours.

Sounds like the dragons finishing move, though I don't know how it managed to do that to you at full health at that level. Oh well I bet it was fun. :)

First time I put the game on expert from adept I ran into a dragon. He grabbed me with his mouth tossed me around like the lawyer in Jurassic Park and I was dead. I was at full health too... I put it back down to adept due to that.
