Flying Dragon Mounts : V

» Fri Dec 16, 2011 6:57 pm

I heard, I'm not to sure if it's true that there is a flying dragon companion you can get or something. Wouldn't it be really cool if you could fly it?
Do you think there'll be a mod that will work one day to allow us to fly on a Skyrim dragons back, or do you think it will look cheap like the Akatosh mount from Oblivion?
I like mods but only mods that edit the game to a bare minimum, like graphical, child killing etc. I could live with a flying mount mod, but I'd hope they wouldn't tinker with the game too much.
What do you think? How do you think it would work if they made one?

No for the flying part, but after the MQ you can gain a summonable dragon, Odahviing.
During the MQ you do ride him though, so the mounting and flying animations are there for modders.
Problem would be collision, clipping, controls and how insanely overpowered you would be

Bethesda won't add it but modders will.

That sounds epic, I would love to fly to Summerset Isle on the back of a dragon with Ride of the Valkyries playing in the background and lay waste to the Thalmor. As to how to make that work, I have absolutely no idea.

Skyrim only has Cyrodil and Morrowind. Nothing else. BUUUT since the Isles were part of the Oblivion(cyrodyl= I think you MIGHT be able to go there.

This^

But, I can tell everyone how to ride a dragon! No joke here:

Spoiler

during the MQ you will come across paartharuax(you prob know). He is a dragon at the throat of the world. After you talk to him he will be sitting on a word wall for the rest of the game, climb up on the highest part of his back and hit him a few times till he turns hostile and he will fly up and sometimes you can fly for like 5 or 6 seconds. It's awesome, but you got to get it just right.

Cheers

There was a mod for this in Oblivion, so It will be in this time just because there are already dragons in the game.
