Ever Pull Off a Finishing Move On a Dragon : V

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 9:09 am

I've been playing for over a hundred hours and completed over a hundred quests, and just yesterday for the first time, I pulled a dual-wield finisher on a named-Dragon and the animation lasted 4 times longer than a typical finisher. It was quite awesome actually.

Have you guys been able to pull this off frequently or even at all?

Many times. Didn't actually count the finishing moves.

Yep. Right after I got Dragonbane I used it on a dragon for the finishing blows. The animation was very cool, especially jumping on the dragon's head and slicing away.

I have but to be honest, they are not as epic as I expected. Then again I do not expect splitting the dragon from tip to tail.

Just one time. I am quite surprised and even disappointed it doesn't happen more often.

All the time actually, especially if I'm soloing the dragon.

i did and it was the most ridiculous thing ever. im still trying to figure out how i killed a dragon by sitting on it and wildly swinging my swords in the air over my head.

Yah I have a couple screens in my library of it here on steam. Couple from a dual wield and another with 2h axe

I've never had a finishing move on a dragon :sadvaultboy:

I've seen them a few times... maybe 4 or 5 out of the 30 something I've killed.
Was cool the first time, as I stuck my greatsword up his mouth, lol.

Once, against a blood dragon in riverwood. Killed it with my shock enchanted ebony sword.

Not yet.

Only once, and I've killed a few. Was a greatsword one, he just beat at the poor thing's head several times until it stopped moving.

Sometimes I want to be friends with the dragons. I bet they'd like to just hang out sometimes.

Maybe six or seven times. The animation for sword & shield leaves quite a bit to be desired IMO.

You've got to kill them while in front of them, if you're on the side It won't happen.

Most times when i'm feeling like it, i quicksave the game when the dragon is at 1% health, and reload until i get a finisher.
Sadly, there's like 2 types of finishers for one-handed swords.

Yea, it doesn't exactly make sense. How does hacking away at a dragon's snout/mouth/eyes with a comparatively small sword kill it? You'd think it would just badly wound it and/or blind. I was hoping I'd dive under the dragon's belly and shove my sword into its heart, or stab (not slash) through the eye so that you break through the socket and hit the brain (if a dragon works like that). At the very least hack at its neck, not its nose and thick skull...

Only once for me. But my brother on the other hand has done it about 3 times (he has only fought 6 dragons)

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 5:57 am

I always do when I'm in front and using my razor. Half of the time I use my bow. It finds a nice spot to land and then dies when it gets comfortable. It's a shame it doesn't crash land like in the trailer. or e3 preview.

I have a few times on my orc character. I haven't on trannigan but that is because evidently left handed characters don't get finishers.

I'm either extremely unlucky or my character is afraid that mounting a dragon will be bad for his knee.

They're SO rare for me.

I've never been lucky enough to have a finishing animation on a dragon =/

Only once so far but with a dagger no less.
