Dragons to talk to?

Post » Sun Aug 15, 2010 11:36 pm

Look I like that we get to kill dragons and stuff.
But also think it would be interesting if the dragons had thier own thinking ,politics, and versions of history. (which in TES lore I'm sure they do)
That way the dragons would go "OMG Iz dead HAX" and player "LOL WTF"
But seriously, I don't want it to be purely "Hey lets kill the evil bad guy dragons lol"
I want some character

I'd only like that if they could be reasoned with. Thats why I really disliked the dremora in oblivion, they may as well shouldn't of been able to talk, because you couldn't have a decent conversation with one.

I agreed with you, but someone told me that, according to TES lore, the dragons are are working under Alduin to destroy the world. Basically, they have their own thoughts and everything, but they're still not humans. They have their own social structure in which service to Alduin supersedes anything and everything. I don't know where this person came up with that, but that's with they said.

Personally, I'm all in favour of changing lore to make the game better, so I still agree with you. Now, dragons should probably have a social structure that's different from humans-- I'm not going to suggest what, but something that would seem strange and alien to a normal person (ie: anarchistic, extreme rigidity to some kind of "dragon law", always trying to make the horde bigger to gain social standing, etc). Also, it would be cool if there were flying machines (maybe just zeppelins) which the dragons could attack. I think it would make sense because Skyrim takes place in the future, and since they could always retcon or add more to the lore. It would give the game some nice steampunk elements which could be further developed in future titles.
