Seriously, you got to be kidding me, its the worst thing ever.. You don't even have control over it and the dragon AI is so stupid it ruins the whole feature.. I was hoping to be able to fly around and cause havoc.. The experience is more like sitting on the back of the dragon and doing nothing and see the dragon fly in spirals and getting dizzy..

It's supposed to be "realistic", you don't really control the dragon, just make it obey to your commands and I honestly prefer it this way. You can also aim-lock targets and cast your spells on them which is pretty badass if you're a mage.

I would love to have free controls to fly it where it pleases me, the dragon acts the same way as if you would encounter it on ground ( stupid and annoying hehe ) yeah and the target and attack system is bad IMO.. the dragon AI is just a mess.. Im very disappointed.. It doesnt even give you the feeling of doing it again after you have tried it once.. Yeah im whining a little bit, had hoped for so much more

I was hoping to have full control over the dragon too, but anyway. I just don't like how the dragon flies like paper when crossing mountains, it looks sadly stupid. Also, you can't fly to random places, only places you've already discovered and you can't command the dragon to land and use melee attacks. It was funny when a Draugr Death Overlord fus ro dah'd me off the dragon, basically only mages can benefit from dragon riding as you can also block those shouts with a ward, as well as casting all sorts of offensive spells.
