Vindekarr Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Have any of you guys actualy seen a dragon pick anyone up like it did in the E3 video when it picks the giant up? i have battled around 25 dragons now and not seen it happen..Plus can dragons crash land anywere? or is it in scripted locations? so far they always seem to crash in the same location for me. Yeah, hit him while he's airborn, idealy with a lightning spell like Chain Lightning, and it will crash to the ground, I didn't know that could happen the first time I shot one down with my bow and actualy yelled a rather naughty word when he flew right at me then smashed into the ground like the war-rhino The 300. Gave me a helluva fright, and actualy caused terrain deformation-the gouge in the ground wasn't just texture, there was actual terrain def, I was quiety impressed.

aguliondew Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The things dragons do are random. I quick save when i am fighting a ancient dragon on master and they rarely do the same things twice. The may land here or their but always random.

Elrumel Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 from my experience (master difuculty), flying blood dragons and ancient dragon tends to grab people on high grounds such as archer towers or a big rock masses like mountains etc. etc. i've seen my own death- blown away by a dragon even when in full hp & 200+ armor. It's more likely to occur if the player is actually on a higher ground than the dragon. But i believe they only do this rare event when the character not running around and blocking. I've also seen that dragons chewing off things and throwing them far away when in ground. But i don't know if they grab any random alive thing while flying just like giant shown in e3 video.

XxTaLoNxX Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Dude... Giants kill Dragons in real game play if you let them hash it out. In fact that is the quickest way to kill a dragon... let a Giant 1-2-3 them in the jaw.Which brings me to a balancing issue... dragons are supposed to be the apex creatures besides the legendary Dragonborns, why is a Giant so damn powerful? In fact Giants are just plain OP. Stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarefootWarrior Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I got a bit too confident once and turned into a dragon snack..the ending shot was me being tossed over some trees. I have seen two dragons so far attacking bandits in their forts, one being a wood fort and the other a stone fort. Both times, bandits were being fried and tossed around. But the oddest is the dragon that fell from the sky..literally, and hit the ground dead. I didn't do it, and no one else was around. Never did figure that one out. No noise, just saw this dragon fall out of the sky, that was it. No dragon soul on that one and nothing on him either. Came back later and he was gone. Go figure. I guess that is one thing I am really starting to enjoy about this game is I never know what to expect, some things just happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mshai Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I've seen a dragon pick up a man and once and once a horse. I've crashlanded my last dragon yesterday, and once before. ;) Yep, it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvertedHelix Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I wonder if we can use console commands to activate a part of the dragons script to pick people up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
