You have no taste in games my friend, Dragon Age: Origins was the best game of 2009.

Edit* @Rezca The dragons are not hear to play how to train your dragon with us (great movie) However! You will be able to learn a dragon shout in the game that will force a certain dragon in particular to come to your aid. That is going to be incredible... But I imagine that will be a shout you get later on because it seems dragons are huge and scary and powerful... yeah :celebration:

Never seen that movie.

I can understand having dragons that want to kill, it just gets to me when ALL of them have to follow that. I guess my post implied that I wanted them to be cuddly goody-goody creatures. Not my intention

Or, I figure it *might* be like DragonQUest I (Was Dragonwarrior in AMerica) Where the antagonist found he could communicate and even control dragons, and forced them to do his bidding until he was killed by the hero and afterwards the dragons were released from his magic. Could be something along the lines of that, but even so I can't justofy going around slaughtering the one thing I love most so I am likely to find my self sitting this game out.

They said that dragons are regular creatures.

Also how can you not justify slaying a dragon when it's ransacking a local village murdering innocent people? :confused:

I always took them out with about 8 bottlecap mines. Easy as cake.

Dragons really should be far stronger and more intelligent than that. I think one issue is that the Behemoths had no abilities. Oh they hit hard, sure, but what ELSE do they do?

Nothing. They did nothing else.

Dragons need fire breathing, Dragon Shouts, flight, strong attacks, MULTIPLE attacks (claws, tail whips, etc), gusts of wind from their wings, etc.

Then wouldn't they *oppose* to the fact some(one/thing) wants to "eat the world" (Implied to physically eating, as mentioned many times on the forum. True meaning and intentions are unclear. Metaphorically or otherwise) that would likely result in them being killed? If that were the case then there would or should certainly be some willing to lend you their aid WITHOUT you murdering their brothers/sisters etc.

Regular creatures again implies that they are disposable monsters and not worth concerning over whether they live, die, or go extinct or whatever. Dragons + Humans/Elves vs Dragons would be interesting (To me anyway...) where the dragons siding with humans (Like in Runes of Magic and Warcraft) may or may not actually AID you directly ...


How can you justify plowing down their homes to make room for a bunch of cows and then expecting them to let you continue doing so? (Non-elder scrolls example most likely... But still)

Sure if your life is on the line like that anyone would attack one. Of course, if the creature is capable of intelligent thought on par with humans and elves, one could try reasoning with him or her. I am more talking about their only purpose in the game is to provide something to kill, attack things, and overall just be in your way.

Just in the way of how they seem to be in Skyrim. They were banished from the world because they were trying to destroy it/help Alduin eat it. That is there purpose. Now "we" as a Dragonborn are of the few selected hero's who have been picked by the Gods (which? The nordic pantheon?) to stop this. These Dragons cannot be reasoned with. Because it is their job to destroy what we are trying to protect.

Edit* Note: Not all dragons in the Elder Scrolls are like this. The "nice" dragons have all went into hiding to be left in peace. So, can you accept killing the bad ones now?

Personally, I don't see how you can even begin to draw this conclusion given the fact that you, nor I, know absolutely nothing about the storyline of this game.

They mentioned that Dragons attack towns right? Not only is that an indication of open towns (yay!), but that dragon fights can vary not just by type of dragon (fire, ice, lightning - if they exist) but also by the location of the fight. For example:

Dragon attacks large town: Player fights the dragon supported by town's militia. Arrows raining from archers on the walls and towers; guards bravely rushing the dragon, amounting to little more than a distraction to provide you with an opening; packed buildings become obstacles for you or the dragon - dragon climbing over them, meaning you have to run through alleyways to cut him off at the other side - or you could climb a building and leap from it onto the dragon's back?

Dragon attacks small settlement: Player fights the dragon while it attacks citizens. Do you defend the people, or wait for the dragon to start eating one - using that as a chance to attack from behind?

Dragon attacks player in wilderness: One-on-one fight, with use of terrain playing a heavy role in the outcome of the fight - if you use it well. Woodcutting as a skill indicates that trees might be destructible: Imagine a fight in the forest, where one huge swing of the dragon's tail could shatter through the surrounding tree trunks, with the player needing to dodge them as they crash to the ground. Boulders could be used to hide from dragon fire. Fights at the top of a mountain could stir up a blizzard, reducing vision for both combatants: harder to see the dragon coming, but also harder for him to see you.

As far as what you get from killing the dragon, we already know about Dragon Shouts, but don't forget that Smithing is now a skill. I'm betting dragon scales, claws, and teeth are lootable and can be forged into some pretty epic weapons and armour. The Daedric equivalent for Skyrim? Certainly a lot more of an achievement to earn it by slaying several dragons and forging it yourself, than finding it on every random marauder after level 30.

I'm just using my imagination, and perhaps some of these ideas are beyond the new engine's capabilities (destructible trees), but I'm sure Beth have utilized the environment to add variety to the Dragon fights. Wasn't that the biggest complaint of Oblivion gates after all? They all looked and played out the same? These guys know what they're doing. If we can think of these ideas, they definitely can.

And once you kill a dragon, what shall we find in it′s corpse?

Hey guys, I've got a great idea! Lets be negative about every possible thing that makes this game, because of the mounds of information that had been given to us by a couple pictures and descriptions.

Better idea: stop basing irrational and negative hypotheses off of your irrational fears about this new game. Don't you think they haven't heard you all whine about this the first time?

Get it right, Dragons are the new Cliff Racers.

:lmao:
