Ekxan Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 So, I can't mod myself so i'm puting my idea here: When a Dragon shows up and there are other things around the player like giants, crabs, bears, and other targets the Dragon just goes crazy and doesn't pick on until its dead, instead when it flies around it sometimes randomly changes target. Why not make it pick a main target and stick with it until its dead? maybe mark secondary targets to breath while flying around! And the Giants well they are mostly peaceful right? So after they help you kill a dragon why don't they just go back instead of attacking you? didn't you just help them? two more thing: wild animals should run away terrified from the dragon and not go fight him lol... and it would be awesome if the dragon could pick their targets and trow them far away, including the player(depending on the dificulty) that would give the player a reason to avoid them when they fly very close to you thats my idea of a mod to improve the combat AI... Hope someone likes it and can do it! in a nutshell:1. Dragon has a main target and sticks with it until its dead2. Dragon has secondary target that he may attack whey flying near them (but focusing on the main target)3. After helping Giants in combat they won't attack you, instead just leave if you don't attack them4. wild animals will run away from the dragons (as they should be scared of them)5. Dragons can pick the target and trow it far... just seems the thing a dragon would do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairo29 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yeah pretty true. I've seen a dragon bite a guard, take it in its mouth, and toss the guard a distance. Guard didn't survive. I wonder how common that attack move is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XunAmarox Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 It'd be nice if horses would run from dragons and giants... also if dragons would land more often than they do rather than just fly around like jerks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewWaltfeld Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 It would be nice if dragons showed up more often period. They don't... appear often enough randomly to make it seem like dragons are back in force terrorizing the country side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairo29 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Has anyone ever encountered two dragons at once? I too wish dragon's had more ground combat, crawling around or scaling walls to get at archers in a tower, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernMonkey Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yes, I encountered two dragons at the same time a while back, just outside of Windhelm. Pretty sh***y ones, but nontheless. Yeah, it annoys me that they fly around so much. Especially if you play as a pure "I'll gut you like a fish"-warrior type character, since they typically don't use ranged weapons.

Try getting out more. Go near mountains or something. Damn things are everywhere, like a virulent plague or something! I can barely walk out of a cave or something without hearing a dragon roaring overhead. Seems like a good percentage of the time I fast travel near a quest target, there just happens to be a dragon appear as I'm running to my marker. So aggravating... Aggravating because 80% of the time they never land, and 15% of the time that they do it's in some very inconvenient location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midicow Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 At least their ai is better than battlefield 3's.Those guys just gravi-autotarget the player and ignore the battlefield around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMocha Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I think the dragons occur often enough without fiddling with.I do dislike their AI, Afterall if your taking massive damage from some crazy guy with a bow/magic it seems unlikely that you'd then change targets to a mudcrab/wolf/skeever etx that is no threat........ Had this happen chased a frost dragon that kept flying away to oneshot little creatures 100m away while ignoring the fact that 50% of its health was shot away, and then move 100m again to another..... bloody annoying. Another occasion a dragon decided to ignore me in favor of attacking a mill, killed the two working there and a couple of mudcrabs then i killed it.... BTW are quest npc's essential, cause with the way that these dragons strike and there illogical form of targeting it seems that npc's are more at risk than the player and i don't want to miss out on quests cause a dragon flew away and prioritized a villager rather than the one steadily killing it.

Thanii Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I like when they dont just land because it adds an "Oh s***-" feeling to it when they just chase after you and breathe fire on your ass. Also, along with the better AI I'd like a major buff on the dragons. I've seen an ice bear or snow bear or whatever slap the s*** out of a blood dragon at full hp. Feels like a dragon should have the upper hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
