It would be nice if they were hard... but i'm not getting my hopes up too much.
This.
I personally always imagined Dragons as a demi-god race, not just some simple animals (which is one of reasons why I dislike the idea of riding dragons).
Lucky for me, it seems that Beth also looks at them on a similar way. ^_^
I know it's a bit off topic, but if people like flying mounts, then I think that a griffin or a hippogriff would do the trick.
Also, one thing I dislike about Skyrim Dragons is that they look like wyvewrns.
I always imagined that wyverns are Dragon-like creatures who are, unlike Dragons, just big flying lizards, while Dragons are an actual and intelligent demi-god race.
