To those who complain about repetitive polls and such, don't you have anything better to do than wasting your life on the forums all day complaining about how people make stupid polls? Get a damn life.

ON TOPIC- I think towns should not lose it's people in attacks, but instead suffer from a severely damage economy, buildings, and maybe kill expendable npc's that respawn. In oblivion I hated even killing non essential npc's, because they had their own unique dialog situations for each person. Ask someone about Imperial City, and he'll tell you how he settled there or whatever. Now if it was npc's like fallout's, I could care less as long as they respawn so we don't have a ghost town.

Exactly. That was annoying. The system should be that it either happens in front of you, you walk into the town on hte tail end of the attack, or you walk in to see the devestation.

That would be a great way to be introduced to dragons attacking towns - perhaps like a scripted quest, where you travel somewhere for something and find the town on fire and destroyed, and the scale of destruction is just like "Wow ... what could have done this". Buit later you are introduced to live dragon town attacks .... if that makes sense.
