Lunytic Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 So the random dragons you run across... they only ever land if there are other humanoids in the area for me. Bandits, farmers, etc. I try to shoot 'em with my bow and I swear they do a 180 the second I release my shot. I use lighting spells and apparently they are too high and out of range. Is there anything that brings them down? I hate having them just fly away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using dragonrend is the most effective way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjelsama Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Really depends on location. If Dragon has no "large spot" or registered location its allowed to land, it'll just circle intill you move to right spot, or just fly away. Dawnstar Dragons do this a lot. If you move to outside of town (by caravans) or towards lake (beach area) this will trigger them to land on buildings. a lot of ones out in wild wont land if your on to steep of a angle, to many trees. There are some assorted locations they can hover to range you. I tested this out on Ps3, alittle bit on PC. Once you figure out the locations they "can" land. You wont have one run away ever again. =3 And no more random arrow shots in the air!Just go to right spot, and they'll come find you....and die horrid deaths by your hand!!! muahhahahhahaha!!!

Cyrotek Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Not every dragon is hostile towards you (at least not as long as no one attacks it), they wont attack by themselfes. And to get dragons to land, that you already in fight with, make sure theres enough space nearby. Or just get Dragonrend, but be prepared for ... wired happenings.

pastafrola Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Correct if I am wrong, I think the dragons lands more if you don't equip/attack with ranged stuff (bow or magic). It's just my experience. It would'n t be a surprise if Bethesda made it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3Q Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Facing off in the distance, away from the view of the dragon, unequipped usually works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pekkape Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I think it is cool if the dragon don't land and attack you on sight, which makes it a bit more realistic. When I see one, I set off as fast as I can in that direction and try to get its attention but sometimes it fails completely. At one point the dragon disappeared and at one points, some hostile NPC's killed it before I got close enough as I had to start fighting them instead. I love this with Skyrim, as fights, specially with dragons, are not always the same, even if some tidiness starts to show up. As I use Skyrim Wars III, there is a chance that I will end up in other fights instead of the dragon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakkenfan Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Couldn't you use the dragonrend shout to make them land? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunytic Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 New playthrough, haven't reached that point in the game. Thanks for all the replies - in my experience though, open fields or wooded areas, the dragon won't land unless there's a pack of NPCs arounds (bandits, farmers, guards, stormcloaks, legion, justicar, etc) and then he lands to attack them. Just kinda frustrating (though I'm still at the point where I've overleveled crafting profs and under-leveled combat... so... dragon death is 100% dependent on how many potions I have in my pack. lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
