Exactly which quest, by name, starts the Dragons up. : V - Skyrim

What about just not going to see the Greybeards - does that prevent them from spawning?

IF YOU FIGHT MIRMULNIR, YOU WILL GET RANDOM DRAGONS AND DRAGONWALL DRAGONS.

I don't know how much clearer I can make this.

The trick Ingold mentioned works, too... but you will still have dragonwall dragons, as he reminded us.

Half the point of the game is being a dragon slaying badass

If it's too hard on Master, turn down the difficulty.

Haha, the wall always seems to win, doesn't it?

:wallbash:

^^^ That looks like it's going to hurt after a while...

Sometimes dragons are more of an annoyance than anything else; it's not always just about the difficulty. I try to sneak past them myself sometimes if I'm on a quest I really want to finish.

I tend to go with not handing over the dragonstone. Farangar still talks about it, but I just ignore that choice and can still trade with him. If i don't talk to him, he doesn't talk to me, so the enchanting table is fine. The only downside is that some iijit in Bethesda gave the stone a weight of 25. Changing that is number one on my list for the CK...

The Dragonstone doesn't really weigh anything, even though it says "25".

You can also temporarily stop the random dragons from appearing by starting the next quest and not completing it.

Spoiler

When you talk to Delphine and get A Blade In The Dark, simply don't meet up with her at Kynesgrove. You will still run into dragons at dragon walls, but no random dragons will appear.

I killed the dragon at West Tower at level 15 then paused the randoms so I could run all over Skyrim from levels 15-46 without the townspeople getting killed off by random dragon spawns. I've run into a few dragons, but in every case I was intentionally going to a dragonwall to pick up another word. This is my third play through, and I'm enjoying the relatively dragon-free game.

I can confirm this. I intend to stop there for quite a while on my next character. This has the benefit of allowing you to learn all of the Unrelenting Force shout (which I still am not tired of) but will shut off almost all dragons like mentionned.

I wasn't sure about this, so I handed it over. You are correct. Which leaves me wondering why the game shows a weight?
