Dragon's I thought I would fear you...

Post » Sun May 27, 2012 5:12 pm

Is it just me or shouldn't the dragons be much much harder to kill?

The first time I felt the ground shake and a gigantic roar, I was terrified! I had no idea where it was or what weapon to use, I ran, I hid and I asset the situation.....but I quickly realized the dragon was more like a fire breathing rat. It was a short battle and very anticlimactic. I feel like these battles should be epic! You know, like having to get to high ground and jumping on its back while having to block its attacks (Biting/tail)..the way it is now you can stand in front of it and slash it a couple time...

Just saying..

For most part your right, dragons should be tougher all around, but if im guessing you fought the first dragon from story, with alot of help from friendly AI. Once its a 1 on 1 type of fight it gets a bit harder. Still not like i would want but its ok

It would be nice if all dragon races could appear even at level 1 so you would've have to run away from them at low levels and then try to beat them when you're a little better. Shouldn't be that hard to mod just have to wait for CK to be released

They do fear you. That is why they are so easy.

If they didn't fear you, it would be because they could eat you in a single bite.

I think I got a lucky copy of the game. I dispose of Bears, Trolls and Sabercats with ease, but any Dragon above the regular one can give me quite a hard time.

Skyrim fact. Cave Bears kill me more than dragons have.

Sidebar, I've watched a cave bear kill a dragon, no issue. Bears > Dragons.


I think dragons are so cute in Skyrim though...I like them. They are precocious scamps flying here and there and landing and trying to take a bite out of me. But yeah, dangerous? Not so much. I haven't fought an ancient yet though.

Skyrim fact. I took on 5 Cave Bears at once near Riften today.

Not even exaggerating or joking... :S

I thought the same thing when I first couple dragons I killed. By those are just normal dragons, they get much harder later.

Have you fought Elder Dragons, and Ancient Dragons yet? Hell, even Frost Dragons are kind of tough sometimes, but yeah basic dragons are really easy; they're basically free souls.

I once got attacked by a dragon while wearing my fine clothes, and turns out, that makes things a lot harder, but after a few tries, I was delighted to see my character jump on top of the dragons head in style :P

My Nord gal pummels dragons with her bow. Of course I have not seen the "Elder Dragon" yet and am not playing on "Master".

A couple of spinning dual sword flurries (3rd person) and those bears (and trolls) are toast (exquisite leather armor and two legendary elven swords).

Frost Dragons are nothing if your character is a Nord (50% cold resistence).

Should be a tougher deal with my new Breton character. :D
