Awww come on, imagine the epicness that this would be combined with mounted combat. Imagine yourself flailing your sword in the air, while your dragon tries to fly at the same time that the textures load. That's simply epic......
Why would you have to use a weapon if you're riding a 50 tons heavy, naturally armored, fire breathing mountain from hell?

I started this thread with sarcasm (albeit no one noticed), but that does sound epic.
Maybe you should google the word sarcasm. Just sayin'.
