Rarity of Three Dragons?

Post » Fri Jun 01, 2012 1:08 pm

Alright, so I already know that this is...well, I honestly didn't believe it when it happened, which was a good thirty seconds ago.

On my way to Karthspire with Delphine and Esbern (well, I fast traveled there to avoid the trouble). Upon arriving, I was greeted by an Ancient Dragon. "No big deal" I thought, and started fighting. I was watching it fly overhead when I got burnt from behind. I turn to see a Blood Dragon just chilling behind me in the air. My mind instantly goes to "Oh crap, this might get difficult." Around that time I notice a slew of red dots appearing. I've apparently wandered into a Forsworn camp. Super rad thing to do on my end! Delphine and Esbern appear to help out with the ground nuissances, while I'm shooting electricity wildly into the air. When I get hit from behind by yet another blast of fire. A regular Dragon has appeared behind me. So now I'm up against a small army of Forsworn and three dragons of varying difficulties. Fight just ended, I came out victorious, but holy crap. Most epic fight I've experienced in this game so far.

How many of you have ever had three dragons attack at once? Or even two? This is my first time getting more than one.

I've had to fight two dragons a couple of times while being stalked by the body of a third Dragon which I killed ages ago. :o

This kind of thing happens more than you think.

Though think of several draugr deathlords, one ancient and two frost dragons and a dragon priest at the entrance to sovengard. It's serious business if you are not prepared.

The only time I've ever seen more than one is Skuldafn.

The dissapointing thing is that the same exact thing has happened to me three times in three different characters, out of maybe 10.

Makes me think it's probability based depending on factors like level and quest progression, and not actually "random".

best fight in skyrim tho, 3 followers, two of which can summon if you have a Mage versus a pack of dragons and 20 forsworn!

I got hit by three once. The people in Falkreath were not amused.

A 4 way dragon battle happened once.

Two dragons spawned literally within a hundred feet of each other and started attacking me (Thank Sithis that they were both only regular dragons). I called Odhaviing and then they started to fight (literally, I think one of the dragons accidentally made the other dragon go aggro on him).

Then I started running while all three were following me and then there was a scripted dragon encounter in one of the dragon wall places. Yeah...took about twenty minutes but somehow, Odhaviing won!
