On the one hand, dragons are really satisfying to defeat. Especially the time a passing khajiit trade caravan assisted me in defeating a higher level one. Or when I fought one in the fall forest that came without warning and scared me out of my seat. They also drop great loot and leave a beautiful reminder.


On the other hand, they're the new oblivion gates. There's far too many, far too often, and you often times can't avoid them. Also, I have several times had the wrong level of dragon spawn. Like getting a random elder dragon on a lvl 9 character. Almost couldn't even run away from him. Plus, I got the most frequent dragon attacks AFTER the main quest. Something like 12 in the first 30 minutes after beating it. They should become LESS frequent!


Overall though, I'm glad they're in. If you don't like it, push through the mq, start a new character, and don't touch the mq anymore. Poof! No dragons.

Oh and another problem with dragons,

I rarely use fast travel...mainly I run around or use the horse. I fast travel only when I've to go to the other side of the map...say like from Riften to Markath...
I don't see too many dragons, so when I'm wandering/exploring/questing/bartering and get attacked it's quite wonderful to see those beasts descending form the skies...playing on master without the crafting overpowerness given by smithing+enchanting+alchemy (I only have 3-4 perks in Alchemy) helps making each fight tough and fun.

So, I really like dragons even if I think they need som tweaks to make them harder/smarter

TOO MANY DRAGONS! ?

That's what Skyrim thinks, and that's why you're out to kill them.

Well I had maybe one 1 random dragon encounter until I beat alduin and now im getting more random encounters so im not complaining XD

I fast travel often and I have never had a dragon appear now when I come out of a dungeon I seem to get at least 1 :/
