Problems with dragons a byproduct of 1.2 patch?

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 6:30 am

Hi,

I just want to check this out... If it's a problem with the 1.2 patch then I can shelve the game for now until another patch fixes it, and maybe I'll just watch some let's plays of the game until it's fixed.

The problem right now seems to be that the dragons that I'm seeing while traveling on foot from one place to another won't land anywhere near me, and if they do land, it's up on some huge perch on top of a mountain rock, but mostly they just fly around never coming down to physically attack me.

After a few minutes or so, they simply fly away somewhere.

Prior to the patch 1.2, the dragons would land and attack me or my companion and we'd be able to kill them.

Is this truly a byproduct of the 1.2 patch, or just some rogue dragons that aren't 100% obeying the dragon AI rules?

Thanks

It was always like that.

I think you may be experiencing a mix of each.

I play on PC and have fought several dragons since the last patch, and haven't noticed anything unusual or different about the way they fight.

I do know, however, that the dragons associated with a location, say a peak with a wall where you can learn a word of power at, may fly around it but will not engage you unless you get close to that point.

There are other dragons that will simply fly around and attack you wherever though.

So it could simply be a combination of those things you are experiencing.

Okay, that seems to make sense BB.

Thanks for the explanation.
