So I'm walking around in skyrim/morrowwind and out of nowhere I hear a sound a roar/kreeee and this dragon/cliff racer appears and attacks me. It's not like it's a hard kill but if I don't feel like fighting it and it is faster then me so it follows me around. Since it doesn't go away, I smack it a few times and it goes down. I go a few more steps and there is another one of those weak pathetic dragon/cliffracers wash rinse repeat and sometimes I'm surprised I get anywhere with another dragon/cliff racer popping out of the sky every few steps to harass my character.

anyone else ever get that vibe while walking around and exploring skyrim?

I'm just glad that dragons don't give me a disease that kills my ability to carry anything when they touch me.

Maybe if dragons were "bosses" like Todd was talking about it would be a bigger issue. As it is now I run into them every couple steps and just put a little time into dealing with them and it's over since I know the drill and have a plan.

Glorified Cliffracers (MW) and wolves (Oblivion). There are far too many dragon attacks and its cheapening them.

Too many dragons
Not enough uses for souls/materials
Not difficult enough
Not enough variety, it's all fire or ice...no using player shouts or magic

on the contrary, i've posted it multiple times that i've only seen 1 random dragon, the rest were on word walls. its annoying not seeing them to. and yes i started the main quest

Fast travel to Dawnstar. That road to town is littered with nine dragon skeletons on my game (and half the town is dead).

i've heard this! does fast traveling start a dragon sequence or something? a lot of people who say as soon as they get out of a fast travel they see one.i walk everywhere in hopes of seeing one and it never happens...

I've heard this too. But I'm not so sure fast travel has anything to do with it. With the 10ish dragons I've encountered it's pretty much 50/50 between fast travel and random walking.

This...

I get excited when I hear a Dragon roar, as it happens like once every 10 hours for me.

Mine so far have been completely random. I don't fast travel except in limited circumstances and have only seen one every few hours of play.

My only problem with them is that their skeletons seem to glitch out a lot, and randomly fall out of the air etc.

This.

I would also add that they're incredibly tedious to fight as a melee-only character. Not difficult at all... just tedious.

OP gets a "lolwut?".

I guess maybe he got super lucky/unlucky with random dragon spawns?

These thread titles are getting funnier by the day.

Actually I find wolves in Skyrim are more like Cliff Racers in Morrowind. I can't walk along a path longer than 10 minutes without hearing wolf howls.

Dragons are fairly rare for me, and half the time they just fly away or I can avoid them. I like them a lot.

I'm finding them a bit too common as well. Dawnstar and this little town outside Markarth are littered with dragon skeletons in particular. I count 4 near Markarth and 5 in Dawnstar. That's only the two large dragon-graveyards in my game, there's a few dozen more skeletons scattered around the world.

I don t fast travel and only sometimes i see a dragon, once i hid in a forest, he circled around a few times and went away. My status was hidden up to a middle eye, never truly detected. I found this cool.

For me the wolves are still the cliff racers.

I don't know how random the dragons are. Obviously from game to game they will be random, but within the same game, it seems like there are a few points where the dragons appear quiet a lot.

I have had to fight 3 dragons in Iverstead, as my mage. They all appear just after I leave the town via the south road. The funny thing is, they all act the same. They don't actually attack me until I back track to the bridge. They will just fly around randomly, not attacking anyone, but as soon as I'm by the bridge, he'll land and start attacking. All 3 acted the same way.

Weird I manually walk from place to place and the world is full of dragons. I was waking to solitude and met 3 dragons on the walk.

With 2 characters at roughly the same level the dragons seem completely random in my experience. My archer is a dragon magnet, he has more souls than he'll ever have shouts to unlock, while my warrior sees a shadow go directly over him, hears a roar then it flies off into the distance.

The thing is , they can't physically even FLY , and all their Ice and Fire SHOUTS are the shouts player can get :shakehead:

Maybe dragon frequency is related to amount of dragon kills?

How the hell do you guys get so many dragons? ._. I've only had 2 dragons at random, besides that none.

Can't...fly...? :blink:

They're flying using SHOUTS , or otherwise MAGIC.

I agree Dragons can be as much of a pain as cliff racers were. You could be wandering along, minding your own business, perhaps doing a completely different quest when the dragon/cliff racer decends out the sky to attack you and you have to spend some time trying to kill the awkward creature.

I personally don't really like to fast-travel places, i prefer to walk and take in the scenery or locations but i am running into too many damned dragons and sometimes i just can't be bothered with them.

With the shape and assumed mass by the crashing I'd love to see one with wings actually alrge enough to lift it without magic but magic is just how skyrim dragons roll.

They are hording all the worlds fly spells taking them out of TES since morrowwind for their own use.
