Dragons Jet Stream Of Fire : V

» Sun May 29, 2011 12:52 am

In the trailer the dragon attacks with a massive jet stream force like of fire. I know the pc had a shield but if you are playing as a mage or just someone who doesn't like wearing heavy armor how would that not obliterate you? It even looks like it should have destroyed that Nord, shield or not. The ground is fried even.

It was just for show.

It was just for show.

Nothing was scripted which means that is very possible.

This, or being dovahkiin gives you a natural resistance to dragon fire.

You can use shield magic, or just run away :bolt:

Mages could cast magic-resistant shields around them for a few seconds.

Thieves could just dodge it.

It's that simple! Or is it...

They cast http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Fire_Shield, duh.

Dragon shout immunity to dragon fire? Or dragon shout that prevents dragons from using it? Both possible ideas.

That's possible but are you suggesting every race has fire resistance then since every race is Dovahkiin?

more importantly if dragons breath fire by using shouts then why didnt we hear the dragon say anything, it was a pretty big flame afterall

Yes.

It looks like that should be a one hit kill though. So if a warrior doesn't possess a shield, or a mage fails to cast a shield spell or simply doesn't have one, or a thief times the dodge wrong should it be an auto death?

However, just because it was in game doesn't mean the devs didn't have God Mode on.

Yea why is that?

I don't mean to be rude or sound like I'm trolling you but you seem to underestimate the power of video editing. Although I will admit hearing that Dragonshout would have been ****ing awesome.

haha yeah i understood that, i was merely making the point as to theres other things in the trailer to ask about , but for some reason many people are confused as to why the protagonist didnt die (would give us a chance to see the load screen)
im pretty sure that elsewhere in the trailer we see people miss with weapons but it hurt people .. 1:35 as far i can see he missed..

He missed and it still did damage? How would they miss that and it would make the final cut of the trailer? I think he just missed or the enemy moved and he just hit the air.

The shield didn't protect him. God mode did.

There was also clipping when the light spell was fired from the staff on the PC's wrist. Nothing is perfect.

It's not as glaring as the guy totally missing and doing damage. I don't think damage was done with that attack.

some sort of mage shield?

Guys it was a freaking video game trailer and the guys who created it thought it looked cool. End of story. Quit trying to figure this out, it's not that big of a deal.

This. It was the first trailer featuring gameplay. Wait until there are entire videos dedicated to gameplay to make any sort of judgement.

But do judge with a grain of salt, I think we all remember that Radiant A.I demo. :rolleyes:

This and nothing more.

Well... If the Dovahkiin is Dragon fire resistant then that would explain why the Dragon goes to fight in close combat with him....
