Cowardly Dragons

Post » Fri May 31, 2013 6:18 pm

I've noticed that when I played skyrim several months ago dragons never used to fly away when their health gets low, and now the buggers are flying off to go heal, or to just never be seen again. It's annoying expending potions and poisons on the thing to have it fly away. I do not have any mods that mod dragons so I think this is the result of one of the newer updates. Has anyone else had to deal with these cowardly dragons?

I noticed the same when I started playing again. It's annoying, but it's only happened a couple of times that they actually flee.

More often, they give up on attacking me and find something else in the cell to beat up on. But I can usually track them down.

Have seen it a few times but not enough to be annoying and shows the dragons might be growing some smarts. My 65th level DoVahKiin has plenty of souls, bones and scales.

For me dragons always tend to circle, I hope they find an tank to attack.

Having dragons hitting forsworn or bandit camps is popcorn hour anyway.

yeah, the one that finally made me right this thread is one that I faced with a level 8 archer that used poisons and potions. It made me eat through most of my healing potions, and a lot of poisons went to waste as it flew away and off over some distant mountains only to return a few minutes later almost fully healed, and then flee'd again at half health not to be seen again. That left me with most of my poison and potion stock eaten up for nothing.
