I can't seem to find any topic discussing this directly.

How do you think that fighting a dragon will work? Will it attack with it's claws, tail, teeth, etc.? It seems that there would be many moves that a dragon could preform that would be nearly impossible to defend against. Also, wouldn't dragons have attacks that would be very difficult do get close enough to a dragon with a melee weapon? Do you think dragon's will have attacks that will have a lot of knock back power? In the trailer, the dragon flew above the Dovahkiin and he slashed upwards to kill it; if the dragons can just fly away, couldn't they just fly above you and regenerate health or even just fly away and never come back? Also, if they did fly up, would they be able to descend upon you spewing flames? Even if they don't implement locational damage with other enemies, I think it would be useful if you could damage the wings early on in the battle to prevent this kind of thing. Back to the trailer, when the dragon did breathe fire at the guy, there was little effect to be seen; do you think that will just be one of Dovahkiin's inherent abilities?

Those are all good questions. I don't know if they will go into that much detail with dragons but I sure hope they do. All we have to do is wait for some new gameplay.

I think in E3 they will show us "how" we will be able to fight them.
Makes the most sense really cuz the whole game is based around dragons.

I'm planning on going for a killer shot through the heart of the dragon with my bow, like Bard in the Hobbit. So I'm hoping for the dragons to keep their distance, but that obviously wouldn't work for melee fighters. I really am hoping for a brilliant AI on the Dragons, so it would swoop down on you if you were raining arrows or magic upon it from a distance, or if you were a melee fighter it would stay out of range of your weapons, so you might have to leap off of buildings to stab at it, which would be SOOO awesome. BTW, amm I the only one who thought that the Dovahkiin was going to jump off the cliff onto the dragons back when he ran up to the cliff?
