Guys guys guys, you really need to know that the dragons are what angels are to God. In this case, dragons are the angels of Alduin. And because it's the end, they are commanded to help bring about the end. Time does destroy all, whether it is in the blink of an eye or in the span of 5,000 years, it makes no difference. The end is coming, the time god known as Alduin to the nords, Auriel to the mer, and Akatosh to the Cyrodiils, will try once again to consume Mundus, with the aid of his angels.

:banghead: :facepalm: . No! No no no no no! That is wrong! There are Tamriellic dragons, and know this because Tiber was commanding them around during his reign, after plenty were driven out of Morrowind due to cliff racers out competing them, and there was the skeletal remains of one in Battlespire, which took place during TES1. The dragons are pretty much demi-gods, probably ranked around with Morihaus, the flying and talking bull, lover of the Slave Queen Alessia, nephew of Pelinal, and son of Kyne.

Also, the only information about Akavir is outdated and dubious at best. Also, the dragons at Akavir have been wiped out. The only one is the newly made dragon, Tosh Raka, but even then, the tiger who became a dragon may or may not have literally turned into a dragon.

only a dead dragon is a good dragon :toughninja:

Why are people so sympathetic about having to kill Dragons?

Did anyone ever wonder if there might have been some good Daedra?

Why did we have to kill all the Ogrims? One of them might have made a nice cuddly pet

their not animals, they have their own script, I suspect that their at least as smart as humans, allthough the trailer suggests otherwise.

As is assuming that they are 'evil' from their mission to clean the humanoids from the face of Nirn. Morality is an interesting thing.

Edit*- Made even more interesting in a world where humanity is not the top of the food chain and the most powerful force in the universe.

Also known as Satakal to the Redguards. Seriously, I think Satakal should be used more often, since he's (arguably) closer to the essence of Alduin than either Akatosh or Auriel. Though the Alduin/Akatosh/Auriel threesome has been passed around so much that I suppose Satakal would only add to the confusion...

I hope that at the end of the main quest the dragons depart to Akavir now that they don't have to fight for Alduin anymore. Some could also stay behind for the lulz

That whole thing is so misleading. Dragons have always been around. Just go play TESII Daggerfall. That was about 20 or so years prior to the 4th era. Are you saying that nobody believed dragons existed even though the Fighters Guild sent me on quests to go kill a dragon's nest where baby dragons were hatching in High Rock (which borders Skyrim)?

I hope that there are some good dragons in Skyrim. It would be so cool to have a conversation with one as well.

TES Dragons are closer to a race of intelligent beings rather then animals. They are not mindless killing machines or monsters as portrayed in other fantasy settings. The Red dragons served the empire for a good while and I would consider them somewhat "good", even if they were used as tools IMO.


Daedra are not always bad or evil, it just depends on whether or not you're on their good side or not lol. Many Deadra Prince are worshiped in Tamriel remember. Heck just look at the Shiver Isle expansion, Sheogorath was a pretty nice fellow as long as you stayed on his good (read: crazy) side. His Golden Saints and Dark Seducers were friendly enough as well even though they were enemies in previous games. It's all about who's back you're scratching

Mehrunes Dagon is one of the bad daedra though and the Dremora that serve him as pretty nasty as well.


The game informer video focusing on sound and music mentioned they were brainstorming how dragons should sound when they speak. I suppose they forgot there was one that spoke in Redguard hehe. We can count on some conversation at some point!

I'd love to gossip with dragons btw I read somewhere (gameinformer?) that people can do their jobs while talking to you so what if you could chat with dragon while he/her is destroying a town :3

/bump just because makes good reading.
