Okay, so I've warned of spoilers in the title and this will contain small spoilers.


So, I've gone to Kynesgrove with whatshername and witnessed Alduin doing the deed. I met her back at Riverwood and have gotten further instructions. But now I'm just wandering around again, doing just whatever. Out in the west I was walking along and bumped into a dragon attacking something. So I attacked, but no attacks registered, like how it pops up the enemies health bar. Then I realize what's going on. It's Alduin and he's waking up a buddy, Voljotkaan or something to that effect. (I killed him, of course) So question is, is that normal? Yes, in a perfect game events would continue whether I made it there on time or not. But in a world where things don't occur until I arrive as part of a quest, should this be happening when I just randomly arrive at a destination I hadn't been told to go to?

Just want to make sure everything is all good and not bugged out. I'd hate to find out the game just allowed me to kill a dragon that was important later on.

Thanks

I've never saw Alduin outside of the main quest,

It is normal. Alduin can randomly appear at dragon mounds and resurrect the dead dragons.

Good, thanks for the reply.
