One of the most Climactic and Anti-climactic Dragon Fights I

Post » Wed Dec 14, 2011 6:03 pm

So I'm prancing arround on my High-elf Illusion / destruction mage, doing quests for the college. As I'm standing outside the college and is on my way down to jump all the way down to look for some place called Mitten, I suddenly hear a dragon scream tearing in the wind...
Completely [censored]faced and blurry-eyed green-visioned from voulenteering to be hit by a " test spell" from another college apprentice I have a hard time locating the dragon... Until I hear a large booming thump from behind me in my virtual surround headset.. I slowly turn arround to see the faint outline of a dragon. The dragon had landed right inside the college ring thingy. I then duck behind a wall into a pocket of space and see the flames instantly passing by me. I'm really excited.
I pop out and start running arround the college circle behind the pillars with the dragon in the middle, spamming lightning bolts at it while covering from incoming fire behind the pillars. I pop my Highborne and start flinging some overcharged bolts at it.
Then I go in closer for the finishing blow. The dragons health is so tiny, if I spat at it, It would just die at this point. I start charging up my spells and then suddenly, I'm thrown into third person... I had a good portion of my health left, I'd say short of half. But still, the dragon picked me up, shaked me arround and threw me flying at an insane velocity right into a small tree inside the college ring with an impact so hard that if this were real life, considering how the ragdoll hit the tree, would totally split me in two and have each piece fly their own way.

It was a great moment still, but man the satisfaction would just totally be topped by letting me have this kill which I totally earned. I really think dragons should NOT be able to just gobble you up like that when the dragon has like an inch of health left. Especially when you yourself still have a good portion of your health left.

EDIT:

WOOOOW. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! I am amazed.
I just remembered I quicksave mid-dragonfight and you know what? As I stood BEHIND A PILLAR, healing mysef. The dragon which was way behind the other side of the pillar, magically shoved my character five feet out to the left side into the open, three feet forward into position of his mouth and ate me. Again.

What the [censored], just what the- ...
