I have every shout unlocked, and I have no interest in dragon armor. The dragons are becoming little more than a nuisance to me now and are more annoying than fun. There should be a way to turn off dragons after completing the main quest. Maybe a side quest or maybe just an option or whatever. Sick and tired of fighting one of these things every 5 minutes for no reason.

If you create a new character and don't do the Main Quest then dragons wont spawn. They only spawn after you kill the first dragon for Jarl Balgruuf of Whiterun.

I know that but I should be able to continue on my main without having these things attacking me every time I walk somewhere.

Same with wolves and bandits. I mean come on! I stood toe-to-claw with a god for crying out loud!

Mod?

Mods will fix it. Not too long until the CK at this point, assuming gamesas don't pull out a dike move and delay it. Once we have the CK, it should be easy enough to edit the leveled spawn lists. With a bit of luck, it can even be done through scripting so after, say, 100 dragons you just won't see that many anymore. With a tiny bit more luck, they even fixed the Morrowind bug with script-modified leveled lists polluting saves and overwriting any further edits to modified leveled lists.

Until that happens, I'm afraid you're going to have to treat dragons like console gamers treated cliff racers, rats, and other assorted pests in Morrowind: With great patience. But look at it from the bright side. You can always just open the console, click on the dragon, and type kill. Unless you're on a console, obviously, in which case you really will have to treat dragons like cliff racers. Hey, at least dragons don't say "raaaah, raaaaah, raaaaah" until you go bat [censored] crazy. Always look at the bright side.
