I know I'm going to be using them a lot

If I can use a bow on them, I'll probably be on one at least once per in game day. Why? Because then I'll finally be able to shoot the sun without those annoying mountains blocking my view.

So am I, but I think Space Marine hit it on the head. It is cool to oppose things that are supposedly implemented only because they're cool.

Good, because I really don't want to hear it. Not at all. So

I just dont understand the hatred here. Odahviing allowes you to ride him, he is willing, because you proved your Thu'um was stronger. Dragons are indeed prideful, but the dragons also give their respect to the one with the strongest Thu'um. Not all dragons like or agree with Alduin, but they follow him simply because his Thu'um was, until now, the strongest ever. Dragons bow to the one with the mightest Thu'um. After you prove once and for all that your Thu'um surpases even Alduins Odahviing vowes to serve you, the one whos Thu'um reigns supreame. He appears whenever you call and does so without complaint. His pride drew him into the trap in Dragonsreach, but he willingly acknowledges your power and willingly decides to come whenever you call. Does this make Odahviing, one of the most prideful dragons known, less of a Dragon for following the way Dova do things?

There is nothing "wrong" about this. This is how the hierarchy of Dragons functions, they follow the one with the strongest Voice. if you notice not all dragons attack you. Eaither because they are not hostle or reconize your statues as the one whos Voice is supreame. Those who -do- attack are also following their nature of domination. But dragons know their place, they know to respect those whos Voice surpasses their own. Even Durneviir, in the Soul Cairn of all places, has heard of and reconizes your supreame mastery of Thu'um by defeating the one who devours the world, the Firstborn of Akatosh, the bringer of the end times, the one whos duty it is to eat the entire world so life can begin again. You have defeated the ultimate dragon, one of the strongest forces in the elder scrolls universe. The dragons acknowledge and respect your superiority, because that too is their nature, to bow to the one who is the strongest.

I guess I care about the universe in a different way than most of you. I dont see a boss fight against a dragon and think "oh boy these dragons are pathetic, lol so much for being bad asses." Regardless of how awsome or pathetic they are mechaniclly, I regard every encounter with the same enthusiasim that I did that first time so long ago. I hear the flapping of wings and the roar in the distance and my hair still stands on the back of my neck, and I think to myself "oh damn, a dragon!" and when that Dragon appears to me and challanges my Voice, I grin, and accept the challange with my heart steeled. I draw my weapon and inhale my breath to prepare for the encounter. Then when at last my foe lies defeated upon the ground, I smile to myself feeling accomplished, knowing that my Voice overcame such an experienced and powerful opponent.

idk maybe I'm just weird -shrug-

I'm going to wait and see for myself. It looks interesting, but I'm worried its going to make Skyrim seem tiny.

The fast travel system already does that somewhat, hence why I personally try to avoid using it.

I would like to hear your opinion on the matter.

It's possible within the Lore

It's definitely part of the lore.

Correct! Unfortunately ponies can't have man-beards.

Werebear riding a dragon, panda style. The coolness factor is through the roof.



I guess I've become a hipster, but then again I do live in a "hip" neighbourhood.
