That is a pretty odd problem race. Sounds like a unique issue to whatever happened on your xbox. I have no problem running into dragons...almost too many. But I can understand the frustration of running into none in a game that focuses on you being a dragon slayer and what not.

The scripted lair ones still spawn, and there was one blood dragon at arcwind point. Past that, nothing. Is there a way I can possibly cancel some quests? See if that does something?

I have one good solution that MAY or MAY NOT work.

Deleting your patch data so that it will be forced to reinstall it :D.
---
However I think this works better on the PS3 because we can just delete the entire game data (Not the saves) instead of just the patch data. Up to you though, lots of risks involved if you attempt it, such as:
  • Being unable to play your save anymore
  • All saves being broken
  • Etc etc

I can't play my latest save without the patch.

Now I'm really confused. I loaded a game in downstar, and two frost dragons just showed up right there. They just spawned there. So after killing one (the other one just kind of flew away disinterested), I decided to check the usual locations. The skyborn altar dragon also regenerated. And then after that, they just disappeared again. They're extinct yet again. I think they're actively trying to mess with me now.

I'm on an XBox, and those bad boy's seem to find me anywhere! I get ambushed when I fast travel, and if I walk/run, they seem to find me. The only place I've not been attacked by Dragon's has been Markarth. Heck, two came after my follower and I going up the 7,000 steps!

I seem to be getting a little more dragons at level 21. Mind you, they still don't appear when fast traveling, or even at the places where they're apparently common. Still, they seem to be coming up again. Although they still seem to be somewhat rare.

They are less common for me now that i have defeated Alduin and that the war has ended.

I just want to see more dragons, I hate that the only ones I see no matter what are the ones I have to hunt down are the ones at the dragon peaks. I want to see random attacks. I want to see cities demolished. I am really upset. :c
THat' is life supposed to be man,the one want it will not get it and the other will get ... much more
Anyway,im' playin on PC and got alot of mod but i'm guessing that the dragonborn dlc causing trouble.First trouble i get after install dragonborn is can't absorb dragon soul (fixed by unofficial dragonborn patch) then stuck forever at loadding screen (in cities that have wall like whiterun,riften...) and the only way to get out of that is to ... sleep more.After a few day,that problem has ... solved itself.But just when i notice that i can freely travel ,fast travel without stuck at loadding screen,i'm also realised that the dragons which used to ambush me is ... missing.If any one know a fix for this,id' appreciate it,thanks

Wow! Just been reading this, and for my char's, they're always getting jumped, even at Morthal. And Alduin is dead as is Mirrak. Even battled them in Solitude. Only place they've not ambushed me is Markarth.

So, I guess they're all ticked at me or what, I dunno. But all 3 char's have a nice collection of Dragon Soul's.

Can't figure why they leave you alone, as I play on a 360 Black Box as well. Might be a number of thing's. it has kind of an AI in it I think, because stuff rarely happens twice in exactly the same sequence as before. I go back to places I've cleared, and end in fight's with Draug's and the Foresworn.

Seem that i've found my problem,it's the quest "Blade in the dark" or something that i don't have time to do (i'm doin Dawnguard quest),it's seem to prevent random dragon attack,when the quest is finished guess they will harass me again :D

I hope that works! As far as fighting Dragon's, I'm going to work something different. Since I have the Bend Will shout, I'm going to try and use that, and have the Dragon fly me to the Embassy, or Foresworn places to nail them. Then let the Dragon go. Don't know how the AI will think of this. But I'm going to see if anything changes or anything.

If you're on an XBox, how did you do Arcwind? It's still not "fixed" (and I've yet to see any kind of patch or fix at in months). I tried it again and I figured the only way to get through it was to find it first, then go ahead and get the Word. No chant or anything came up, no outline of the Word on the wall, but I got one. Yet Arngier keeps sending me to Arcwind (on all 3-char's), so I guess I hope for a courier, or find them by another way.
