Free will In Skyrim - Along with Dragons.

Post » Thu Oct 28, 2010 8:23 pm

Hey guys :) I just wanted to see everyones opinions on this and also i wanted to see if anyone has the answers to what I am about to say.

But anyway, as you all know in oblivion, that you could go round killing anyone (Except for important characters) And that you could have 'free will' and do ANYTHING. For example, I loved winding up people in their houses and stealing etc (I know, Im bad =\ :P ) But i hope that you can still do everything in Skyrim. I have heard alot of news though, that you can do anything again, and this time it's even better, which I agree on. So i hope you can run as a far as you can on the map, steal, kill and have drinks at taverns etc again.

As for Dragons? Todd said that you cannot ride them, cannot 'play' as them. But im very curious, im not going to spoil anything he said as he doesn't want to say anything about what will happen. Im curious at the fact that he said 'you and dragons are a big mystery,' And then a man in a interview asked him if you can befriend a dragon, so Todd said it's a big mystery, they come in all shapes and sizes. But Im just so curious. . . Because he also said that when you absorb that soul and energy from the dragon after you kill it? That is a mystery too =\ So i wonder IF you become a dragon OR if you actually befriend one. This would indeed be awesome. . but as Todd confirmed. . .It wouldn't really happen. But still, Skyrim is going to be brilliant whether or not you be/ride/befriend one :)

I'd like to see your opions on both OR just one :) Thanks guys.

The world is just as open as previous games to do what you want. There's even woodcutting, leather work, farming, mining and cooking now.

You're part dragon as you are Dragonborn and can speak the way of dragons. Im confident you won't be able to ride any.
But I'm totally unsure whether or not you'll be able to befriend one.. I wouldn't think so because they are trying to gobble you but, for me, it would be a very welcome surprise if you could speak to a dragon at some point or another :D

Same here, and also, Todd did say they come in 'shapes and sizes' which could be a friend or foe. But he said that they also speak english. I have watched so many interviews with Todd howard. . and Im just getting excited AND curious at the same time. I mean. . Your Dragonborn which is exciting enough. . but will you befriend or become one? No one will know until we get it. But i am very happy that they are doing their best to make us happy :)

by befriend and the big mystery part, there is probably some point in the MQ or at another point in which we might find a dragon that is non agressive and moves the plot forward :shrug:

I wouldn't mind a scripted event, where I could be on a dragon and just look around sky high, I just don't think It'd look right riding one, and controlling it at the same time. But thats just what i THINK :happy:

True. . I do agree there. I know it's annoying sometimes because we are all asking questions when we can just find out. But im too excited ;D But Im sure that will be true or. . . whatever Bethesda so :) It will be brilliant.

Skyrim dragons are going to be very unique compared to others generic game dragons. every thing they do will involve magic from fire breathing to flying it's all dragon shouts in dragon language if you listen closely in the game trailer you can hear the dragon using a shout when he's breathing fire.I can't wait for skyrim I'm going to freeze myself in snow and wait untill november like eric cartman did.
