Abundance of Dragons?

Post » Thu Nov 15, 2012 9:42 pm

It may just be me but since building my house i've had 7 dragon attacks on my home, It's beginning to get slightly irritating

My main question is what enemies have you had to defend your home from so far and how often must you defend your home?

I've noticed an increase in Dragon attacks too. Gets old after the first attack.

I wouldn't really mind if it were giants, skeevers, bandits and the lot. But it just seems to be dragon after dragon :stare:

Yet another reason not to start the MQ until AFTER you get everything in place.

I believe that may be a reason. Many people are going back and forth from the markets to get more construction materials, children and wife. That many Fast Travels can cause an increase in attacks.

That and the system may need to be toned a little down too.

I'm pretty sure repetitive dragon spawns are related to fast travelling and using carriages. Try not using them for a time and see if the attacks die down.

Ah you beat me to it Amauri.

Did you build your house on some sacred dragon burial ground?

I just had one blood dragon and a group of dawnguard attack at the same time. I usually only get attacked upon arriving from fast travel. In my first playthrough I ALWAYS got attacked by dragons. In this one I haven't but the dawnguard attack me EVERYWHERE! Its getting a little rediculous, esp since I'm a hunter and thus using lots of arrows and the guard doesn't really carry any regular arrows or gold (I prefer the regular bow, though getting all the free crossbow arrows is nice). I think they've attacked me at my home 4 or 5 times and I haven't even played a full hour. Fast travel seems to spike up the chance of random things like this happening, though I could be wrong. I wish there was a quest to wipe out the dawnguard...

Considering all of the dragons your character has killed, I would think word has gotten around that the Dragonborn has a new place to stay and they have scores to settle.

If that were to happen you would get a whole lot of complaining.

I am guessing the house in question is the one in the Pale? Half the time I visit that region I get dragon attacks. I mentioned this even before the dlc finally dropped. There is a burial mound on a hill to the southeast near shimmermist cave. I believe that is why you get a lot of dragon spawns right around Loreius Farm.
