Of course not. In my current game, in fact, I'm in over 150 hours of play and I haven't even touched the main quest. That's hardly the point. Once I decide I want dragon shouts, I'm forever saddled with random dragon appearances. Once I decide I want to enter the civil war, it's the same thing (you need to help the Jarl of Whiterun, which activates the dragons). Even Oblivion allowed for Obvlivion gates to stop appearing, and that was forced. I'm asking for something optional.

And it was your wording that confused me. "If it is triggered after the MQ is completed, then you have already done that with the previous character." does not make any sense to me on any level.

hey I thought once you kill alduin you send the dragons back to extinction?!

Ok, then...

Some of them, not all.

for god's sake!

Oh, for.... Once again....

What I'm requesting would be OPTIONAL

Everyone got that? Optional. A quest you don't have to take. If you want dragons to continue appearing post-MQ, no problem. Just don't take the quest. We all clear on that?

Now... Taking MQ is optional too, actually...

There is nothing more epic then when I am in the bush with Ysolda, dragon comes and says " Dovahkin, I want in"

No really, what did the dragons do to you so that you hate them so much?

its only optional for 95% of the content!?

The only thing you will not have is shouts. Dragonbone and dragonscale items can be found in loot.

I do so enjoy having to repeat myself....

If bethesda even considers such an option they will probably keep it as a menu option since as others stated, it's part of the story and lore.
To be honest random appearances can be a bit irritating at times but it's needed and if it was to be taken out without the option of returning them it would just make players upset

Where per say, I have been playingt his game with 6 different characters, and have found ZERO dragon bones and scales in loot.

I guess he meant that you can find... let's say dragonscale boots in a chest. I found those on my argonian in a chest before I even started the main quest...

Armor starts dropping after level 40. I never said anything about bones or scales.

i guess i never was high enough level o something, must happen after 60? Cuz i would always just find daedric stuff.

They are in rare random loots. Maybe a chance of a Blacky having it at high levels. Like Daedric, the chances of you collecting a full set by loot and/or merchants are practically zero.

It is not "needed" beyond the point in which you've done the following:

1) Completed the main quest
2) Unlocked all dragon shouts
3) Collected all of the dragon parts you'd care to collect (e.g. for armor).


For heaven's sake, what I'm suggesting is an optional quest that a player has to consciously decide to take. Meaning that they'll know it means the end of dragon appearances. If that's not what they want, then they don't have to take it. If they do take it, complete it, and then regret it, then, like with every other decision-based consquence in this game, that would be on their heads. If you don't want to murder someone, then why did you join the Dark Brotherhood? Equally, if you don't want dragons to disappear, then why would you take a quest that you knew would make that happen?

Edit: removed text because I missed the entire second page, and this was a useless thing to say

I found the boots at level 37 in some dungeon. It's always random and dragons scale items seems to be rarer than daedric items.

It's not just needed for those items it's also needed for lore as most people I know, including me, can't stand it if something happens that isn't natural to the lore.

Then. Don't. Take. The. Quest.

And so what if there's an optional narrative that rids Skyrim of dragons? That doesn't necessarily mean it has to become part of the canon. One way or another, Bethesda has to eventually decide which side won Skyrim's civil war. It can't be both the Stormcloaks and the Imperials. They're going to have to firmly establish in a future game that Ulfric either won or lost. Which means that one result will prove to not be "natural to the lore", as you put it. Until then, players can choose to make either happen, and what I'm suggesting isn't dissimilar.

makes sense. In my view the whole idea of the dragon revolution carrying on after alduins defeat seems rather pointless since now one leader dies another alduin crops up. I feel that to really make sense dragons should be destroyed, they are a threat to the people, living or dead why is the battle still going after the MQ was to stop it. I don't get it?!

They seriously need to come up with a better story. I mean if every installment in the future of TES has to do with strictly dragons I think im going to vomit fire breath till i puke.
