I've had it happen in Solitute three times now.

So far I've had one city dragon fight in the middle of Whiterun, was a lot of fun

Only once...in Solitude, right in front of stores and vendor stalls.

City walls are just walls, not domes. I mean there`s a big sky above it!

Why shouldn`t a Dragon be able to fly over and into them (even if it techncally spawns in?)

I`m glad they can fly in.

I've had dragon attacks inside Solitude and Whiterun but only when I've fast travelled directly to them. The dragon in Solitude was taken down by the legion in the Imperial compound.

For the one in Whiterun which kept landing on the building roofs where I couldn't bash it, I left the town through the main gate and it then appeared outside. So you can force the dragons out of the city if you back out of the gate and fight them there instead.

I was attack on two separate occasions by dragons, while at Winterhold college. The damn things just dropped down right into the courtyard!

It's happened a few times with me on one character, both in Riften and Windhelm. It killed the Windhelm blacksmith and his apprentice - very annoying.

3 attacks in riverwood already. 2 blood dragons (easy) but 1 elder dragon whipped out half of the village (3 guards, that elf archer trainer, blackmisth and his wife) by the time I killed it. It was a massacre.

An elder dragon jumped me as I walked out of the college of mages yesterday. Loved it, no where is safe!

I'm envious of all of you who have seen the closed city dragon attacks, played 3 different characters and many many hours of the game and I've yet to see it happen. Guess it must be fast travel related as I almost never use FT and these types of attacks (and random dragons in general) are fairly rare in my experience.

Well, everyone sees at least ONE dragon attack inside a closed cell... i.e. Helgen...
