OK so Skyrim has dragons, you might already know this, and they were very impressive in the demos. In the game, however, there are a few improvements that could be made I think. For one, the seem to fly and move very awkwardly. When they change direction while flying, it seems very unnatural, like they just rotate so many degrees, there isn't much fluid tilting to the left/right and moving.

As well as this, they seem to get bored when they're dead. That first dragon I killed (at the watch tower near Whiterun) sat there dead like it should, but then whenever I approach it from a distance, I can see its body spasming around and its arms flapping about. Today I even saw its whole body just flailing around, but it goes back to lying still whenever I get close.

The third problem I've found so far was no-clipping. I'm not just talking about a wing sticking through a tree a bit when it lands. The first unscripted dragon I encountered was also near Whiterun where the first dragon lays, and instead of attacking it just circled around above. Perfectly normal, I expected it might do that. So I try to get its attention by shooting some spells at it, but it just stays there. After a few more passes it just takes off and flies away.... straight through a mountain. What??

So those are my experiences with buggy dragons, what are yours?

P.S. sorry for ANOTHER skyrim thread, but god its an epic game!
