Riding a Dragon

[HenryTheDragon]

Yeah the new change for the Dragonborn DLC what do you think? I think the whole DLC is awesome and riding dragons is just the fantastic add

Quick travelling > Flying Dragons

 

[HenryTheDragon]

Lol and I tought I was the only one overusing quicktravel.

 

[Stone]

Nah, I'm lazy, so instead of waiting for a dragon I'd rather open my map and get to where I want to go.

 

[HenryTheDragon]

Right, I just travel by my own for the random encounters. The Skyrim map is huge, but Solstheim is small.

 

[Finnsson]

Walking from Riften to Solitude over encumbered, naked, and weaponless > dragon riding.

I hated it.

 

[HenryTheDragon]

That's some good walking down there

All I see dragon riding as is a modder's resource, so to speak. As it is dragon riding is utterly pointless.

Once, I encountered a ruin with 3 Draugr Deathlords outside and a Scourge, and there was a dragon battling them. It was EPIC, but I'm like, WAIT, this is an opportunity to ride! Safe to say, I killed them all while perched on a dragon. Took a little while, but definitely was different than fighting on the ground. A poor frost troll even got dragged into the midst of battle. And a bear. Quite funny

But would I ride them for travel? Gods no. Takes forever. For combat? Sure!

I prefer a boar ...

I would like it better if I could control where I want them to go. You know since the bend will shout makes them your master.

 

[Wildroses]

Well, I'd heard dragon riding wasn't that great, but I wasn't expecting it to suck THIS much!

How the hell am I supposed to get to Miraak now?

 

[Remington721]

I was expecting it to be way better. Oh well , the Mod group will like it .

I never used it outside that one mission in Apocrypha to get to that Miraak fella so far. It's just useless. If they'd at least let you steer the dragon properly like a horse or something...

I tried it a few more times since then, but the controls are so awful that I can never tolerate using it. I agree, if there was a proper steering system and you could choose what direction to fly in,m rather than just hovering, that would make the feature a lot better to use.

I found it frustrating as. Awkward and clumsy, and that was just flying around, I haven't tried combat yet. Not to mention that your follower stays where you left them and you have to go back for them. Not looking forward to Apocrypha at all

Apocrypha is actually rather enjoyable! I always liked it.
