Xothic Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 So I constantly encounter Dragons flying high above me, clearly circling me, but no matter what I do I can't get them to come down and fight me. They are way too far out of range to hit with arrows or basic shouts, so I was just wondering if there is something I'm meant to be doing to get the little bastards to fly down and die?

BrknSoul Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) * Possible Spoiler * Do main quest until you get Dragonrend. This shout staggers dragons and forces them to land. While Dragonrend is active on the dragon, it can't fly. It also seems to interrupt them too. Edited November 17, 2011 by BrknSoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbean Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 i'm fairly sure these are higher level dragons that are too high for you to kill- so they don't aggro onto you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xothic Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Yeah, I have that particular ability, the problem is, it only works when the dragon is already fighting you. I'm talking about when they are flying WAY above you, with aparently no intention of landing and fighting. I've had several dragons simply fly into the distance while I shoot arrows at them in a vain attempt to garner their attention. EDIT: Above^ Really? I thought the stronger dragons only spawned if you were higher level :O Edited November 17, 2011 by Xothic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the stronger dragons only spawned if you were higher level :OI could be wrong, i suppose- but i've always noticed that i see more of them at lower levels at higher levels. Almost all dragons i come across now aggro onto me straight away, but back near the start only a few would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceNathan Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 That has happened to me on multiple occasions, I noticed this happens when there is no place for them to land usually on a mountain. Or they may just be taunting me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzibeatle Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Could be they are just interested in sight seeing or looking for something more substantial to eat, like a plump cow or a moose or two. Or, they have a bit of Coyote blood in them and just love messing with your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RejectedCamel Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Remember, not all dragons are aggressive - most still follow Alduin's... 'teachings', but some are simply another element of the wildlife, like the elk or the bunnies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyanheart Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I don't remember where I was at the time, but I experienced this "disinterested dragon" flying in the distance, and despite running directly under the flight path and flinging arrows, I could not get its attention. Then, at the nearby town, the guards commented about a dragon nearby and the dragon attacked not long after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
