One dragon I fought got distracted by a mammoth. It did most of the work for me in killing it.
Kind of makes sense I guess, dragons gotta eat too.

That is pretty weird, but that would make them virtually unbeatable for Melee types.
Don't forget Frost Trolls.Mycroft Holmes said:
The story ones are easy, but this one Dragon I encountered in the wild forced me to lower the difficulty.
HE NEVER FUCKING LANDED!.
I've fought 9 of them. Nine. the number after 8. 1 + 8 = 9. NINE. 7 of them were like one of the 4 most difficult breeds to kill or some crap like that. 1 of them was story and one glitched into a tree after which I killed it in about 1 minute with the help of a friendly giant who I got stuck under a bridge and shocked in the crotch with a dualcasted spark for about 10-15 minutes. I had to lower the difficulty significantly, as you may have guessed.
At least now I don't have to worry about having a Soul when I find a new Word of Power...I hope...

I actually had to chase the third dragon I found down. I kept hurling Fire Bolts at him while he passed overhead, then when his HP got down to about half he flew off, and so I had to sprint like a mofo in fear of losing a new dragon soul. Turns out he was busy frost-breathing a Necromancer to death. The fuck? Dude, I just shot you in the face with FIREBALLS, why are you suddenly so interested in killing this goth wizard?
Then of course another fireball to the face made him tired, so he landed off in the wood, so I had to run through the forest to find him AGAIN, where I find him killing a deer.

A friend of mine was fighting a dragon last night, and mid-battle it flew over a mountain out of sight. Suddenly, it started howling with pain and taking random damage from something that was not my friend. And then, lo and behold, it dies. My friend tried and tried to get over the mountain, but couldn't manage it, and ended up having to reload and fight the thing again.
We think it was a mammoth.

Horses in this game are quite clearly Dragonborn. I'm starting to think Talos was conceived by a horse.Davatehi said:
I saved Riften from a random dragon attack with six guardsmen and a horse. You could not keep that horse away from the dragon. I even force-shouted him to get him out of the way of the dragon's breath....and he just came back to kick the dragon in the head some more!
However, it almost didn't compare to the guards' approach to the fight. One of them said "If the Whiterun guards can kill a dragon, so can we.", and five of his mates swaggered up the road with him.
Another time, I got into a fight with two vampires. I got off my horse...and at that moment, Lydia charged past and laid into one vampire, while my horse trampled the other to death. I didn't even have a chance to get involved.
Skyrim's horses really ARE hardcore.
Also. Rest in peace, Lydia. Know that your killers lie inside out around your untouched body. You really bring out the beast in me. Roar.
I was trying to fight a dragon, but it seemed to think that a pack of 3 wolves was more deadly then my bow wielding dragonborn, so I had to run around a mountain to kill it.
I am liking the Dragons so far. I like them less though when they grab and eat my horse AKA my only quick way to anything.
I had one attack me out of no-where, and then run off to eat mammoths and giants. I chased him down in the end btw. Also, have you ever considered that tehy are just afraid of you and are attacking the less intimidating things firstSucal said:
The dragons are assholes, go figure. I will shoot crap at them for half an hour with them not noticing me. But when I am busy doing something else, they suddenly decide to get all ninja on my ass.
Just today I was slugging it out with a camp full of ice mages and daedra, winning just, only to suddenly hear a massive boom, have the screen shake and find a huge scaly son of a gun had decided to park right behind me and light my ass on fire. Thanks asshole!

Well I haven't run into too many dragons to really tell if they focus on you often enough. I've faced two dragons due to main quests and have fought one randomly. The one I fought randomly didn't want to land much, but that's probably because I was going along a forest road, so there wasn't much room to land. I had to run down to the nearby river for it to land.
As for their difficulty, dragons are one of the harder foes for me to fight. Their breath attacks usually do a good amount of damage to me and them flying around means I have to shot random shot up at them while they rain more breath attacks down upon me. I can usually take them though by blasting them with spells then hacking at them while healing.
Now giants... giants are scary.

I like the dragons a lot really, maybe 'cause they're still a valid threat to me since I didn't pick a Nord to start with.
Also I once got attacked by 2 dragons at the same time, one fire one frost. They decided to continually drive bomb me until I died... I even ran into an open icy lake field thing, nope landing is for pussies according to these dragons.
Oh yeah dragons really don't seem to like Dawnstar that much, 3 dragon attacks on 3 seperate occasions... Makes me wonder if it's just because Dawnstar's the only town without a loading screen and they're just being bastards about it.

Well they are predatory animals... Dragons are commonly depicted as wise old creatures, it doesn't necessarily mean they are.Sucal said:
Besides, in my personal opinion, horse is far tastier than human meat. More to go around too...
I was feeling a bit of the same way... This changed for me however when 2 times during conversation I'd be sitting there listening to the exposition when suddenly dragon appears and starts rampaging in the background. Guards were shouting and villagers screaming in the background, and the person I was talking to never broke eye contact... And I immediately forgot all my qualms with the dragons and laughed for a few good minutes.
I will admit though, I do like how the random encounters actually work dragon encounters into towns, really makes the world seem real when I'm walking down a street to sell some armor and suddenly BAM dragon. Makes me realize just how... distant the whole Oblivion 'crisis' felt in Oblivion, seemed like to the average Joe, the whole thing might as well have been taking place on the far side of mars. Not with the Dragons, they will drop in, anytime anyplace and ruin your day.

i find dragons just too easy to kill, however bears, trolls and giants rip out my skull and beat me to death with it
