Dragons fly funny

Notice how the dragons fly in the game, kinda looks odd, or off, would the Devs take the time to fix this?, given that the Dragons are too awesome to look like they drank all the ale in the land then went flying?

Skyrim isn't a flight sim, and it would take forever to implement the true flying physics of a bird(don't even think it's been done in a game). I've noticed it too, though. Maybe that's how dragons really fly.

True i guess you could assume its a natural flight pattern for a Dragon.

Bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly and look funny :shrug:

What does real dragon flight look like, anyway?

Well i thought it would have looked more smoothly like almost gliding with a violent turn in mid flight, idk lotr kinda for example anyway.

Dragons use to fly correctly, but then they took my arrow to their knee.

No, please do not mess with the dragon physics lest we return to the nightmare of dragons flying in reverse. UGH!

and, exactly how do dragons fly? tell me, from your experience, lol!

if you get a dragon appearance where all they do is fly around then go off into the distance you will see a more natural and fluid movement.

they DO soar smoothly with controlled turns.

takeoffs and landings for a huge and heavy worm would, i imagine, be more difficult and a bit awkward looking. of course, since i've never seen a dragon fly...

Makes 'em REALLY hard to hit with a ranged weapon while they're in the air - they seem to turn on a dime all the time

I get them dive bombing in to the deck head first to do breath attacks, then going vertical like a rocket.

And what is wrong with a little ale and flying?

Sounds like a damn good time to me.

Yep, that happens after they eat a khajiit trader shipping skooma. Sometimes the dragons get so high they fly backwards.
