WHY FALKREATH?! WHY?!

Post » Sat Jun 09, 2012 4:06 pm

I find it excruciatingly annoying that everytime I fast travel to Falkreath in my game, it gets attacked by dragons, and I mean EVERY SINGLE DAM TIME.
Everytime I hear that dragon roaring around the outskirts of the town, I'm just thinking "OH COME ON?!! SERIOUSLY?!!"
I've fast travelled exactly 7 times there, and have been attacked as many times. Is this just me or does this happen to anyone else?

It's punishment for using fast travel. Walk, you're missing all the beautiful contryside! Fast travel bad.

I had the same problem with Dawnstar. I feel like a spawn point was put next to the town, worst of it I was a weak rogue and dragons wouldn't stop spawning there so I just gave up on that town.

I've been playing this game quite a bit and never once had a dragon attack inside a walled town. I was starting to think it was all heresey. Now in the game I'm currently playing, I had 2 different dragons attack Solitude twice...back to back! I love it when dragons attack towns. That's the point of this whole damn game!

If you are getting attacked when you Fast Travel that is because the game has decided that you need to have some Dragon in your life.

So, just fast travel somewhere else, deal with the dragon, then go to Falkreath.

Just make sure you save before you Fast Travel, the Autosave once you get there is too late.

If you don't want to run all the way there, just fast travel to the nearest place and run to the place you want.

The problem is, it ONLY happens to Falkreath. I've fast travelled to all the other towns without any attacks.

I've had it happen to me on three consecutive occasions when I visited the College. The funniest thing is half of the mages wandering around outside run away (while one or two help).

Fast traveling causes dragons to spawn.

I don't think so.

Dragons seem to have a chance to spawn over time. Fast traveling accelerates time. I am reasonably sure that if you walked to Falreath, instead of fast traveling, you would have encountered the dragon on your journey at some point.

Probably has more to do with the time it takes to get to Falkreath, than your destination.

This is just random chance. Dragons don't always spawn when you fast travel to Falkreath.

Fast Travel to a place in the same Hold. Then, wait a bit.

This only works if you load a save from before you traveled there to trigger the dragon. If you triggered the dragon, traveled away, it will always be there when you get back.

I know that's why fast traveling causes them to spawn because your compressing all that time into seconds.

Well true. If you don't even go to Whiterun in the beginning, there are no dragons.

If this breaks the cycle.... it would be a bargan at 50 gold!

I believe this to be a glitch. Hear me out. You know how when you walk by and a random NPC says something to you, and if he/she keeps talking while you go through a door, they follow you inside?
Well, that thing happened to me with a Dragon in Windhelm. I was just activating the door while I heard his wings flapping. And he followed me inside. I even tested this with a reload. If I wait a few seconds after the Dragon spawns, then I enter the city, he'll stay outside, but if I do what I originally did, FT to stables, sprint to the gate and activate it at just the right time, BAM! he comes after me!

About OP. I can too say that FT makes the Dragons spawn more frequently. If I FT I get a lot of them(on almost every FT to a random dragon spawn point - yeah, they're not so 'random'), but on one of my characters with no FT at all, 150 hours+, I got like maybe 4-5 random dragons.
