A few random questions and dumb obseravations.

Post » Tue Feb 10, 2015 3:28 pm

I doubt any of them are original and have probably been discussed before.

1) Are there any female dragons in Skyrim? Seems like all the named ones are male, then again I have never gone past finding the dragon burial site with Delphine.

2) Anyone else notice that after escaping Helgen with Ralof he says "we should split up", then continues to talk to you the whole way to Riverwood? On my first playthough I kept running away from him only to run back each time I heard him talking.

3) I also found it funny that when nearing Riverwood Ralof says "if we run into any Imperials, let me do the talking" ... your wearing a full set of Stormcloak armor, just how much talking do you think you'll be able to do?

4) One of my favorite scenes is when the guard comes up to Jarl Balgruuf and tells him of the dragon attack. Then Jarl Balgruuf tells the guard he did a good job and to go get something to eat, then turns to you and says (I'm paraphrasing) "You survived Helgen, you know more about dragons than the rest of us, we need your help" .... A dragon showed up and I ran, a dragon showed up and your guard ran, your guard knows exactly as much about dragons as I do! Also he's a trained warrior, and on your payroll. The guy sworn to protect you gets to go stuff his face and rest and your sending me to go fight this thing?

1. No one has been brave enough to lift up the tail and check...

2/3. I actually lost him and ended up in some town that I was not supposed to be in. Took me hours to get back to where I needed to be. I think Ralof is the Imperial sympathizer, but I could be wrong. I did that cart ride once back 11-11-11. I have used an alternate start mod since.

4. Welcome to the wonderful world of game plot advancement. "I have this dire emergency that must be taken care of or my world will crash. Only I am going to wait for you to show up so I can dump the problem on your head"

1. I don't think we have enough information about Dragons to be able to reliably six them. I think some people assume they they are exclusively male but I see no reason that this should be so.

2. He continues to speak to you...if you follow him. If you split up he doesn't keep talking. I took his advice in my first game. He told me we should split up, I said, Okay," and headed directly for Riften.

3. I've always assumed that a player character in Stormcloak armor accompanied by an Imperial soldier would not be killed instantly. Any other Imperial soldiers we meet would probably assume I am his prisoner.

4. It's weirder than that, actually. If you try to do the civil war without starting the main quest Balgruuf will refuse to help you until you take care of his Dragon problem. If you take care of his Dragon problem you then have the option to inform him that Dragons have returned to Tamriel. He will be very surprised to hear this news.

1.) Always assumed that they don't have genders.

2/3/4) Welcome to the wonderful world of plot holes and forced plot advancement.

Strangely all the dragons in Dragon Age Inquisition are female. Interesting fact eh!

So there are male and female, they just don't hang out together.

I first read that as "The girl dragons have cookies."

I didn't read too much into it, I just had one of those random thought the other day which happened to be that I couldn't recall any.
