Being that there's a civil war going on, I think some quests involving the defense of a particular city against its opponents is plausible, but defending cities from dragons isn't necessarily mythologically correct to my knowledge. While dragons can attack cities, and artillery can be used to drive them away, dragons are usually dealt with in one on one battles with the protagonist/hero. I think the way the game is designed will be more around this principle too, so I voted no on the dragons- I don't think it'd work that well is all.

Like the gang territory in San Andreas? If i'm on the completely opposite side if the map of where the dragon attack is, it will start to become very tedious.

I'm kind of worried about NPC's dying.

I feel like nameless soldiers could be spawned on both sides for the battle.

NO!
It would get extremely annoying every 10 minutes having a pop-up tell me to save a city that's across the map. I want cities to actually be able to defend themselves instead of me always having to save them.

I'm kind of worried about NPC's dying.

This! and I'm even more worried about having another Kvatch.

Yes but I don't want a magic message telling me: hey! town x is under attack, press "a" to fast travel there now! If I happen to be in town when a dragon shows up sure i'll help but how can I know a dragon is attacking a town located all the way across the map?

Yeah it's cool, and I bet Beth are implementing this (lol ok, just cause "I think its cool", yeah I know) by having NPCs in distress running up to you, falling at your feet panting for breath, then pleading for you to save their village.

I like that but make it rare and have the city rebuilt after a few days.

I read in an interview with one of Beth's head guys that enemy/random monster ( he was saying specifically dragons ) are confirmed for attacking cities you are in.. Seems that dragons flying in and wreaking havock was coming along well so maybe they'll do it for other creatures/bad npcs! let's hope!

Logicly,at first they wouldn't do that if you wheren't known for taking out Dragons,you'd just be another guy to them,For me it would be typical for them to run up and go ''Save us!'',that bloke at Katvch doesn't do that,he tells you run...
