Everytime an elder or ancient dragon is in the same province as me.

I've never actually had it happen in ONE hit. Giants could have very well done it, but I watched walkthroughs on youtube before playing the game myself. So I always avoided them until I got a high level.

I've only been quickly taken down by a briarheart. Dual wielding power attacks, it was a pretty fast takedown.

Personnaly i love one hitters and one hitting, i often find my self with the difficulty down so enemys take less of a pounding, i wish the slider for difficulty was actully split in two, as currently all it effects is in/out damage if those where seperate, you could make it really deadly for everyone! thats what ive always wanted in fps n hacknslash. No seven head shots later, no multiple powerattacks with a battle axe to the back! i what to die when i screw up and i want my foes to die too! Damn it this will be a mod i look for when i get a pc.
Please Beth considers 2 damage sliders over 1 'difficulty' slider. Being able to taliour the your games to the players taste is what your all about, i just wish that included menu options and not just rp option?! Pretty plz! x

Agree 100%!

I was walking up High Hrothgar and I was about halfway up, when a Sabre cat pounced me. So I reloaded and ambushed it. :)

That happened to me with another ancient dragon. Got too close to it, and it swung me around in its mouth, like something out of a Jurassic Park movie. Yeah...I tend to die in one hit when facing ancient dragons :dead:

I have yet to face an ancient dragon. When do they appear? are they much tougher than frosties? If they are, i might be in trouble when they show up. :confused:

They're the strongest type of dragon you can encounter in the game. Usually, they'd be guarding certain word walls, but occasionally, they swoop down in random dragon attacks. The random encounters usually only happen when you're mid to high levelled though (rare at mid levels, more frequent at high levels).

At high levels sometimes it happened to me when encountering a Draugr Overlord equipped with ebony bow and ebony arrows.

A number of times. Giants at low lvl, big time. One I remember was the Boethian Cultists near his shrine. I decided to try and kill them and their little daggers did some kind of lighting damage and 1-shot me every time. I eventually defeated most of them by blasting them off the mountain side with Unrelenting Force 3. Was rather fun. :)
