The reason dragons left long ago is because of cliffracers. The little buggers ate all the dragon's food so they all moved of to Akavier, if I'm remembering my lore correctly.

Yeah that is correct. And I'm fairly certain that mudcrabs could defeat cliffracers. So it would make sense that dragons to be afraid of mudcrabs.

The reason a main character is needed is because these dragons are not from Akavir, rather they are the followers of Alduin the god of time. They're not really just out looking for food...

...well, I mean, they are. But cliffracers aren't going to stop Alduin from eating up the planet.

So these are a different kind of dragons then? So cliffracers wouldn't be any good.

Well, I mean, besides the fact that I'm pretty sure some guy from Morrowind killed off all of the cliffracers and was named a saint for it, it'd be worth a try I guess if you could find enough of the buggers.

But yes, these dragons are different in a sense. Not much is known about them, as we'll probably do most of the learning in the main quest, but these dragons answer to Alduin. They do still have free will, and so a few may be friendly or at the vary least neutral to you, but most will likely follow their boss' orders. Kinda like out the humanoid daedra we encountered in Oblivion had a mind of their own and free will to an extent, except the dragons are a lot more dangerous cause they're...well, dragons.

so mudcrabs could beat the dragons so whats the point of the main character

To defeat the mudcrab invasion after their numbers swarm from all the tasty dragon meat

Ahh, that's interesting. It seems there is more to these dragons than I thought there was.

If only. That would pretty awesome if there was a mudcrab invasion. Although killing all of them would be a shame, if that was even possible.

i heard it was like the tiger people that live in Akivar killed off the dragons that lived there

I didn't think anyone killed the dragons. Or I didn't know at least. I'm not exactly the best person to talk about the lore.

So where are these dragons coming from?

And to be more on topic: What about a mudcrab dragon combination?

» Mon Jul 11, 2011 5:47 am

Mudcrabs are my absolute favorite creature. I just love them for some strange reason I'm not exactly sure why. I'm kind of sad they haven't been confirmed yet. Seriously mudcrabs would be a great creature to have because it could add more variety in the water creature areas. An area that was severly lacking in Oblivion. Now with the addition of underwater shipwrecks and things like that mudcrabs could be perfect. Plus think of all the varieties they could have with all the different landscapes in Skyrim.

So please bring the mudcrabs back into Skyrim

I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than you!

Well mudcrabs are very fearsome creatures.

Well mudcrabs are very fearsome creatures.

Maybe they want mudcrabs to be a surprise. That's why they haven't showed them off yet.

» Mon Jul 11, 2011 8:42 am

Well, it may be a tad chilly for some crustaceans, but, we shall see :tongue:.

just saying. :thumbsup:

yeah maybe they gave them a new appearence and they dont want to spoil it

» Mon Jul 11, 2011 4:55 pm

Yeah that's what we were saying earlier. They could be in pretty much any climate.

» Mon Jul 11, 2011 3:45 pm

yeah maybe they gave them a new appearence and they dont want to spoil it

I don't think anybody would be surprised if they got a new appearance model. Everything else is. I just wonder what it would look like.

Mudcrabs are a new race is why.

» Mon Jul 11, 2011 5:33 pm

Mudcrabs are a new race is why.

You don't know how happy that would make me if that was true. I would be unstoppable.
