Was just wondering how you guys are gonna go about dragon slaying!

Run in guns blazing with melee weapons :banghead:

make use of long ranged weaponry and spells :dance:

or run :bolt:

Edit: accidently clicked enter before I could add in the poll :whistling:

First, I'll soil myself. Then I'll regroup and come up with a new plan...

I`m going to throw fireballs at them.

Assuming fire works on dragons. Otherwise it`ll be a fistfight to the death.

1. Level Illusion to 100
2. Learn 'Calm Dragon' spell
3. ???
4. Profit.

First, I'll take off all of my clothes. Then I will begin yelling as loud as I can. Once my voice is spent, and all that comes out are hoarse whispers, I will pommel my opponent with my bare hands.

That's how REAL dragon slayers do things.

All manner of spells will be flung in said dragons general direction.

I will strike swiftly from the shadows with my dual daggers, hoping for the one-hit execution kill.

But I seriously wonder how stealth-based characters will fight dragons. I'm sure Bethesda has a plan, even if I don't at this point - looking forward to it!

Spam max-level burden on target, let gravity do the job.

If I imagine an encounter a little bit, I can see myself doing a few things early in the game like... If the dragon is flying, I'll find a place to hide until it's gone. If it's on the ground and close to me and there's no place to hide, I'll try to use Chameleon (hopefully still in the game), to hide until I can gather my wits and search my inventory for the best available counterattacks. If I have to fight, I like using Shock and some kind of enchanted sword for some extra kick to it. That's a place to start anyway.

I imagine that the first time I see one in game I will run screaming.

That's just me, I imagine my character will get slaughtered with me cowering in the kitchen instead of at the controls.... :whistling:

spell, spell, big spell, spell, take out shortsword, stab, spell, stab, spell, stab, absorb soul, sheathe shortsword, go back to town, find best inn, pay for a room, drink expensive wine, sleep very soundly, woe betide anything stupid enough to get between absorbing soul and drinking wine stages.

Just like real life then?

:P

Swords and spell. I have yet to know if dragons have tough scales or are resistant to fire magic yet.

1. See dragon coming at me
2. Look for bandit
3. Grab rusty wooden cracked bow and arrows
4. Hide in a gorge
5. Plink the dragon from the safety of the gorge while the AI and pathing is unable to allow it to get to me.

I remember using that strategy in Morrowind.

by standing on a bed.

I'll pull an M2 out of my pocket and fill it with lead... er... or, um, use the best weapon I have on hand.

They look pretty wimpy if you ask me. A +2... er... flaming...er red glowing dagger aught to be about right.

I think my imaginary spear could do the trick.

Or maybe I'll send my vampiric werewolf to do the real work.

Sadly they can breathe fire here <_<

I will do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ojbKTSoFM8 but with dragons.

I'll try to keep the dragons at bay with my poisoned arrows.
