hey
Wow, well thanks for the input everyone.. sheesh I guess the forums here are pretty active

(Certainly a good thing).
Indeed I have been playing at easy level, simply due to the fact I always play super casual and try to avoid stress inducing high difficulty levels. I will follow advise and go for the increased difficulty, start out with adept and try that out, unfortunately it will ofc make other stuff harder too.
And I'd kinda agree with some posts, a bit more effort and creativity could have been put in to make the dragon fights more 'realistic' and memorable. I mean, if I was a dragon, I'd be in the sky mostly, and if I touched the ground, it would be a quick landing, blast my enemy with fire/frost and then shoot back up again.
thanks for the link to the Deadly Dragons mod too, will check that out.
