Dragons cheap attack through walls....why?

Why are the Dragons able to kill me through walls? The bite death animation can teleport you from behind walls! how is this fair?!

it might be a bit of a glitch iv noticed that when iv done one hit kill animations on dragons with my sword, and you jump up ontop of its head that your legs right up to the knees dissapear into the top of the dragons head
also iv noticed that one hit kill sequences full stop since 1.4 have been really buggy or dont work properly
im level 60 and get one hit kill sequences every other kill and iv noticed a lot is messed up with them
sometimes it starts them but cut out halfway and puts you back in battle
or if its a first person view cut scene its starts the scene so you cant controle anything but your character stands and does nothing and the creature or nps just falls over and dies and then it takes a little while to come back out of it and give you controle of your game again

Yea this one is as annoying as the shoot-the-arrow-and-suddenly-have-enemy-superhumanly-dart-to-one-side glitch.

I hate that glitch. Happens all the time when you attack someone and they are standing right in front of a ledge. Your attack will hit them backwards, which they should just go up the ledge but no. Poof they go over 9000 miles away. Not just a ledge, but like a porch of some house is common too.

Hey you can catch enemys arrows shot at you, so why not let them have some kind of crazy matrix dodge skills
As for op.. i`ve noticed this too. Happens if the dragon is about to attack you and you duck behind cover.

I wanna be tree... Dragons breath goes through their branches, doesn't burn them, but wastes me.

Yeah, back after 1.2 when elemental resistances were bugged down to 0%, I avoided dragons (because who wants to die immediately from a breath attack?) but found myself in a fight with one. I was successfully dodging behind trees and hitting it with arrows. It had advanced, but I was behind a tree. Just when it was almost dead... its head comes clipping straight through the tree trunk and eats me with a kill animation. I could not have WTF'ed harder at that moment.

It's just one of those minor things (in the grand scheme of the other bugs people have dealt with) to keep an eye on if you're in combat with a dragon. They can bite attack through solid objects.

First of all, you can catch arrows shot at you? Sweet! and funny!

Secondly, I just want to say I only fight in first person, and I've never seen a first person finishing move not once. All the 100 finishing moves or so have been in third person. How do you see the first person ones? Fight in third person?

You fight in first person. It happens very often actually. Maybe you just don't notice them? :P

Yes I do fight in first person.

No, I know what they are because of the trailers and other videos online showing them so I always watch for them. But I can't remember one time my game gave me a "finishing move" that wasn't in third person. :tongue: I mean I've seen almost 100 of them now in third person, just none in first person.

That's weird. I don't know why that is. Strange. I don't even know what causes the finishing moves, lol.

Me neither. Seems to have something to do with if the next hit is the one that kills the enemy AND it is following a previous hit within one second or something.
