Dragon dropped in at the collage in Winterhold. : V

» Thu May 31, 2012 4:04 pm

A blood dragon landed near in the collage courtyard, just as everyone was getting ready for routines, and when i was going to turn in a quest. The poor thing dropped dead in 7 seconds. I was rather happy to get another soul almost effort free, and bones and scales too.

This happened with me, just without the other mages. I was on the balcony part too, so I had to jump down so the thing would land.

Last time a dragon showed up at the college, everyone ignored it. This was a very awkward moment for me. Fighting a life and death battle against a dragon. And people just walking around us like it's another day on campus.

*dragon appears*
*ground shakes*

Lucky you. An ancient Dragon dropped in the courtyard yesterday.

No I did not survive.

I had a dragon show up in High Hrothgar when I was outside with all the Greybeards... they didn't help me at all =/

You notice that Dragons love to appear after you've fast traveled somewhere ....just about every time?

That's due to the crappy patch, I did NOT update to version 1.02

Three of 'em have attacked me in the College. The skeletons are starting to pile up.

Yeah, if I were a dragon the College at Winterhold would be very low on my list of places to [censored] with.

Oh yeah, right. I think I encountered two in Winterhold and maybe 3 in Dawnstar.

Same thing. 5 seconds later, fried dragon. The obnoxious version of this was early on in my game. Stupid dragon showed up in Riverwind, Killed the smith there. So, I can't sleep in that house, or buy/sell stuff from him. Bummer.

I get a good laugh every time they land in the College courtyard, the place is a giant, dragon-sized bug zapper for me.

It's like whales beaching themselves... Except without the hundreds of people trying to throw the dragon back into the sky to rescue it.

One time a dragon attacked me and about 15 npc'c came to my aid, I was stunned as there was no lag either.

Dragons have a tendency to reappear near places they die... so if you get one in a city you need to try and lure them away from it...

I've had 2 ancient dragons in Solitude, 1st one was dead sooner then you could say bow r... the 2nd managed to last a bit longer and killed 1 solitude guard.

The advantage of having dragons drop in where there are plenty of NPCs are around is you have to do very little to get the soul. I had one drop into Riften last night, stood back and let others take it down than wandered up just in time to look good and grab the soul.

Dragons appear there more than anywhere else in my game... Like every other time I go there. I must have fought at least 15-20 dragons at Winterhold.

Every character I've played has encountered this.

Also, as someone else said, Dawnstar also seems to be a hotbed for dragon activity. I think some encounters are programmed to randomly occur and the College is one of those, and in other situations dragons simply patrol the map and a lot of their routes intersect Dawnstar.

Additionally, near Markarth there seems to be a fair bit of dragon activity. I got jumped by two at once, and then a little ways down the road I encountered another wiping out some Forsworn.
