slayerking Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Ok, I know there are bigger lore-buffs out there that can probably discredit me, but here's the story that I've built up: I picture the red dragons as mediaeval ones (like the ones that are shown in skyrim), and the black dragons as more of an eastern-style dragon (Asian influence. Fly without wings. Etc). We know that, in Akavir, the Tsaesci tried to eat the dragons after eating the humans. The black dragons fled to Po' Tun, and the red dragons were enslaved, and they were all "extinct" after the battle was over. They are obviously not extinct, because they are appearing in skyrim. So maybe the black dragons somehow melded with the tiger people (or maybe there is only one left—Tosh Raka). And if the dragons WEREN'T completely destroyed, then maybe the humans weren't, either. Maybe the enslaved red dragons melded with them, and they escaped to tamriel. So maybe "red" and "black" aren't because of the color of them, but because "red" represents the blood passed down through the families of akaviri escapees. Maybe "black" is more of a magical transformation, or divine transformation. Far out ehm dude thats a little far fetched cant you just stick to the facts..... and offcourse this video uploaded a few days ago shows us some reall nice stuff and offcourse what we all thought about dragon differsity and companions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYxvV9z6Hb8 though you have to watch through the first half of the video with dragon shouts and spriggans xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AurianaValoria1 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) sorry if its been mentioned but Todd Howard said there will be 6 main types of dragons, he said it in the GTTV footage. sorry if its already been said. Thanks for that clarification. :) It's been a while since my original OP. ;) I guess I should redirect the thread, now. It seems like most of the dragons, regardless of type or color, are out for your blood. And as far as a dragon companion goes, it looks like that will have to be a mod. A shout can summon a dragon, but I think it would be along the lines of a daedric conjuration - he doesn't exactly want to come. Good (or more likely, neutral) dragons have been hinted at, but I'm not sure if there is any connection to color or species whatsoever. Edit: Though, in that video slayerking posted, one dragon is attacking the other. :blink: And one of them looks "red." Edit Again: And, one of those dragons was your dragon companion...

slayerking Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 offcourse i meant to tell you that this companionship is only short termed and is done by shouting, and if i stand correctly the summonable 1 is a dragon different from any other as he is known as the falkreath wyvern like foretold on N4G a few months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBlackfang Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Is anyone like me, and hoping there's a few good dragons thrown in there? What are your thoughts? Well, I don't know about good - I won't be too good myself. But I certainly hope that there will be at least several reasonable dragons, with whom you may have conversations, maybe work together, or, at least, perform tasks for.

Jakeschulz Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 i think the idea is that the dragon you call is sort of a friend rather than a forced summoning. well we will just have to wait until we get the game until the details are fully cleared up :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownCow Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) I think that Dragons should not be companions. It would be fun to fly around, but on the ground it would be awkward. Also, in the demo videos that they released, there was a frost dragon which Todd Howard said were higher level and more powerful. I think if anything a dragon should be interacted with, not as a companion but as an npc. Edited October 23, 2011 by TheBrownCow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iv000 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Well, Todd said that the Dragon you call is actually a named Dragon and that you meet him later in the game. So I guess we'll have a Dragon friend. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
