When we finish the main quest will there still be dragons flying around?

hmm..never thought of that cuz the whole point is to stop the invasion of alduin but it was said in skyrim that there could be dragons on your side as well as evil ones.. i think it will be like OB where no new OB gates open but existing ones are still there if i remember correctly.. correct me if im wrong though

yes they will.

yes only there will be less of them I dont have the link for the confermation though

all gates close after you finish the mq

In Oblivion all of the gates closed, even those that were currently open.

I hope a small number still exist. Defeating Alduin shouldn't mean that the other dragons become extinct.

I hope so. I still want something great to fight after I beat the main quest.

I hope so it be a shame if they removed the most epic hostiles in the game just bc you beat the main quest. lol sounds like a reason not to finish the main quest.

I think I remember hearing or reading that some dragons will still be around after the MQ.

They confirmed that there will still be dragons after you finish the main quest.

In any case, I think I'll go dragon hunting for a while before I finish the main quest. Don't want to mis out on any shouts, now do I?

Nope, just cliff racers.

Wouldn't make sense if there wasn't.

They're harbingers of Alduin, but no one said they're tied to him like orcs are tied to Sauron. They won't just die and disappear when (IF) Alduin dies.

Alduin may not die. He may just pull a Han Solo as a reason to let dragons keep on existing. And considering Bethesda will most likely want a way to keep Dragons in their future Elder Scrolls games, would make sense to leave the MQ in a state of suspended draconic existence to allow for a story arch that explains why dragons are now in the future regions of TES series.

There will always be dragons.
