Skyrim: Disappointed in the Dragons

[seraphy]

Dragons are getting tedious and annoying, I really hate them already. They attack me far too often.

And indeed come on giants are far more of a threat than dragons?

I'm more disappointed in the fact that they are pathetically easy to kill. Mammoths and giants are far more difficult.

I know what you mean. I was particularly perplexed by one encounter where I beat the shit out of a dragon without raising a sweat and was then roundly trounced by a Snow Troll. Who I couldn't beat even after >10 reloads. Already I'm beginning to view them as mere distractions from the actual dangers of Skyrim. They're basically just scaly Cliffracers.

Which is a shame.

I guess I have myself to blaim for overhyping the Dragons. Next to wolves and skeletons dragons are just about the single most brutal and metal thing in the universe and I expected them to act as such. Oh but to dream.

I also blaim the "inheritance cycle" for making its dragons totally badass and I kind of expected them to be like that in Skyrim. -sigh- I wish they would make a could Eragon game.

They did, it was based on the movie (shudders)

Anyway Im rather happy with Dragons, I like how theyre kind of a force of nature almost, at lower levels they are a real challenge. At higher levels though.. although maybe i just need to ramp up the difficulty? Im a level 31 khajit thief/assassin and i can tank most dragons, though apparently stronger ones do appear.

Anyway if i were to share a quick story, I was doing the main quest, going to find

Sky Ruler Temple

to get into the cave you need to pass through a Forsworn camp. Well just before I reached the camp, a Blood Dragon roars and chases me, I run to the camp frantically and then hide, watching with awe as the Forsworn and Dragon duked it out, after the dragon was forced to land, I dealt with the survivors then was promptly one shotted by their shaman.

Another story i dont find as epic but certainly a lot funnier was when a dragon attacked Solitude, It lands and I charge up my firebreath shout, at the last moment some random guy walks in its way and burns to death, upon this happening, all the guards forgot that they were fighting a dragon and told me that i either had to pay a fine or go to jail. While the dragon was still burning down their homes ..
