EviloMEN Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I disagree. I think they are closed, but enemies can enter them. This wouldn't be to different from oblivion, where a enemy could follow you out a dungeon. A closed city doesn't mean it can't be entered, it just mean it's a different environment. You could have the dragon appearing to fly over the city wall to enter the city, as I doubt it's closed to the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaroncox Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 thanks for your insights guys. does anyone else have any suggestions about how this could possibly work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpalEyedFan Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) ok here's a guess. open settlements = random attacks by dragons.closed cities= scripted, story related dragon attacks. Edited May 11, 2011 by Opal-Eyed Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runforitkyle Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) I wonder if a city will get owned with no chance of you saving it. *Kvatch*The broken city theme i have no troubles with but for gods sake let me explore it. Basement would have survived a fire and daedra at least. Edited May 11, 2011 by runforitkyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istred Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Right here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:DragonsSo - as I thought - there is no official source saying "dragons came from Akavir" (I will not consider an UESP page an official source)? It seems to me that too many people see "dragons lived on Akavir" and draw a conclusion that the tamrielic ones had to come from there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you may not think of it as official, but Bethesda do. :P They use UESP to find the lore of previous games, so I would say it's quite cannon.^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

istred Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Not only that, but the UESP uses the in-game books (written by the devs) to collect their lore.I know - but there isn't a single book saying that "dragons come from Akavir". For all we know, they could have moved there from Tamriel, and the ones attacking in Skyrim could be completely unrelated to them. Especcially seeing that we can read in an ingame book that all dragons on Akavir died during the Tsaesci - Po Tun wars... They use UESP to find the lore of previous games, so I would say it's quite cannon.^^You know, I often look up things in Wikipedia, yet I know that not everything written there is neccessarily the truth. The same might be with Bethesda employees and UESP.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaskas Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Ok i know i what i was saying that "Dragons came from Akavir" i know it wasnt an actual fact, it was just a introduction to the main message of my post, theres no reason to fight over that argument, the UESWP is a great source of information but the elder scrolls lore is something uncertain, there are legends, songs, tales, is not something that makes something true or false. The main thing i wanted to say was "Hey, it wouldnt hurt to have some dragons with a bit of asian influence as long as they dont look out of place in Syrim."

Laurelorn Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) It's true that dragons aren't necessary coming from akavir this time (as they return from... hum... somewhere in relation with skyrim perhaps ?). About the walled citys i think that the walls just load you (Toad said that and added "instead of clicking a door" as i hearded it...), and it seems it fits with the dragons attack as you are in a city and you may want to go on the wall to shoot arrows etc... (i think that guards will be on the walls too to defend their city) But great (and less great...) news from : http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1188422-german-pcgames-article/ - "There will also be some friendly dragons you can speak with" which is awesome ! Obviously facebook connection and lockpiking may not be a great idea... dunno what do you think ? (hope we could do noctunal quest at lvl 11 to totaly cheat the game again :P ) Edited May 11, 2011 by Laurelorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
