What was your first dragon encounter like? (non-scripted&#03

Mine surprisingly was inside windhelm. I heard a huge roar an at that moment I knew it was serious. Luckily I had the guards help and I took down that dragon with ease...

mine i believe was on my way to the first dungeon involved with the companions guild. heard the roar and turned around in time to see it land, unfortunately the companion member i was with scampered like a baby penguin and was nowhere to be found. died and then realized "crap i haven't saved in a REALLY long time." and thus the story of why i realized autosave is an awesome feature.

The first non-scripted one I remember was at a necromancer fort. I was pretty low level, and it took forever. Was fun though.

Can't remember exactly where I was, but I was just walking by a mill on a stream with a cliff right across the road and I heard all hell break loose and two dragons started attacking me. Was kinda of annoying, since I was melee and they were landing on the roof of the house and the cliff and not letting me attack them, so I had to kill them with shouts.

Haven't started the MQ on this character yet, but on my last one... oh, I was pwned. So very, very pwned.

Protip: A dragon with very little health left is still capable of biting you in half when you go in hoping for an awesome killcam. You'll get an awesome killcam, yes, but it won't be the one you were hoping for. :P

i had litterally just stepped out of that cave you use to escape after alduin attacks helgen and i had gotten to the gurdian stones and i heard loud wings flapping and looked up to get a face full of fire and eventually died because i didnt know what to do besides run like hell.

That's not possible. Dragons don't spawn until you get farengar the dragonstone. The dragon does fly above you after you leave the cave but it never ever attacks, it just flys away

the first time i met a non script was when i was around level five, but it wasn't just one, there were two of the [censored]ers and i had to hide in one of the smaller logging/mining camps until the guards somehow managed to bash the two down to low health and i could jump in without fear of death.... I am such a bad ass.

Well my first random dragon attack involved a three way battle between bandits, Legion soldiers, and Stormcloaks. In the middle of it a dragon swoops down and all three groups join forces to take down the dragon with me. Then they all stand around in awe as I absorb the soul. Twas a good time.

no. your speaking of after the patch.
before patch dragons appeared before you talked to farengar and got him the dragonstone. and it wasnt the dragon that had attacked helgen it was a normal dragon.

I was level 10. And it was a Frost Dragon that wouldn't just land from me and Faendal shooting arrows at it. I decided to get closer only to realize how powerful he was. I turned to Faendal and i was like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im_5QdHp04E It didn't look good. Faendal was down and i was almost outta health, i summoned a familiar to distract it and healed me and Faendal up and i was like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs i then ran away in fear somehow becoming the Wicker Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHfv-NrPxnw&feature=related

with vigor i charged in all or nothing finally doing the Killcam with my sword. And then i was like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhnUgAaea4M

My Xbox isn't connected to the internet therefore no patches, and with every other character besides my main not starting the main quest i can confirm playing over 300 hours without starting the main quest on over 15 characters Dragons have not shown up unless i start the main quest. I'm calling BS.

My first Dragon was a Frost Dragon at Mount Anthor.. I remember being so excited. I shot every arrow I had, and had to finish it off with Magic, of which I knew little. I got it in the air and it crash landed... I messaged all my friends I was so excited haha

I think mine was on my first visit to Riften. If I remember correctly, the guards were badgering me for some gold, and got bugged out when their AI forced them to break conversation and attack the dragon. I got my first killcam on him, too. :biggrin:

Ugh, that happened to me too. I had to kill the dragon and pickpocket the guard.
