IndiraLightfoot Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 I really like that basic disengagement mechanic, though - running away when something too nasty for you is beginning to wipe its heinie with your party, ply by ply. 2 *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***

I watched from a mountain top while a group of Bandits in Silent Stones took down a dragon. Why the heck does Skyrim need ME to save it? Then I downloaded the Deadly Dragons mod. Now you need to pack a lunch to fight them. Glad to see DA:I is doing that part right. 3 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
IndiraLightfoot Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Yes please! In my very first playthrough of Skyrim, it feels like I downed my first dragon just after the first barrow visit up on that mountain next to that tiny starting village. It was a huge disappointment. Even in NWN2 OC, your encounter is memorable, and in DA:O, it certainly was. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
ManifestedISO Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 If you start the main story early on, even the weakest dragons in Skyrim can insta-kill your character. If you wait and gain levels and power, they don't scale. Ha, get it. 1 All Stop. On Screen.
IndiraLightfoot Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 ManifestedISO: Heh! You got me there. Even my little mountain excursion was pretty eventful, and I rarely did follow that main quest line - and that was extually lots of fun, but it also caused a few bugs to happen that first time. I had to resort to the console to fix a couple of them in the south-western part of the map. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
Humanoid Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 My biggest beef with Skyrim was the fact that there were dragons. These days I advise people to not activate the dragons until done fooling around with side content. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
HoonDing Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 I'm pretty sure NWN 2 dragons were artificially made immune to instant death spells. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Guard Dog Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 I remember I once killed Firkraag in BG2 on the first hit with Quivering Palm. I wonder what then odds of that were? 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Labadal Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 I defeated him a few days ago. Had to try the fight twice before taking him down. Never managed to kill any of the BG2 dragons in one strike.

GD you know I still haven't played Skyrim yet, I have the Legendary Edition which I purchased just after you bought your copy I am really looking forward to playing it with several Mods like Deadly Dragons "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Katphood Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 I am really looking forward to playing it with several Mods like Deadly Dragons I still haven't tried this myself yet but you might want to check it out. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
TheChris92 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Dragons Dogma had the best Dragon boss battles -- There's nothing more epic than climbing unto a dragon, hacking away at it, as it violently tries to shake you off, even leaping into the air, occasionally, with you still hanging on.
Malcador Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Just as long as the dragons realize they can fly so use that. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Qistina Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 http://www.gamecritics.com/brad-gallaway/dragon-age-inquisition-preview-an-errand-girl-for-the-kingdom More Skyrimization confirmed. *sigh* Skyrim + Oblivion In Oblivion, portals show up everywhere, we need to close it. DA:I is about that, closing up portals that will show up everywhere In Skyrim we kill dragons everywhere Dragon Age have lost it's originality, a rip off from many popular games So I guess Skyrim & Oblivion is then a rip-off of Warcraft? Demons rushing out of portals all over the world, killing dragons etc? And the inspiration goes on and on.. In retrospect, I'd say Inquisition looks more like Dragon's Dogma to me, which I don't consider a bad thing. That game's combat was actually fun and the boss battles were incredibly enjoyable and engaging. What i mean is they lack original idea, Dragon Age itself is a rip off from many things, but they manage to make it original by changing some stereotypes, example Dwarves talk American, ugly Elves and they are slaves and such things. Original DA is a unique rip off But then comes DA2, where they have lost it, they change the theme, it's a story about medieval X-men, about mutans vs humans And now they continue the senseless thing, they rip directly from other games, DA have lost it's originality. Believe me, i dare say people will get bored after few hours playing DA:I. It is because we have seen it before, the story the landscape, everything we have seen it before. Close the gate and so the demons cannot come in, kill dragons everywhere and they are pests, side with humans or mutants...

Even in NWN2 OC, your encounter is memorable, and in DA:O, it certainly was. And soon the dragons' constant presence will become repetitive and annoying...

Then you snort that mega skellie into your Fus-Ro-Dah-widened nostrils, and the rush is no longer there - just indifference over a hollow achievement. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
Fighter Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Random dragon encounters in Skyrim and their frequency was such a poor design choice. But I will never forget my first dragon encounter (not counting the first 2 scripted ones). It was a dark narrow mountain pass and it started snowing heavy, I was low level so it was difficult and long. In that moment it was magic. There is much Skyrim got right, too bad the soulless writing squanders that potential. Anyway. I just can't get excited for DA:I right now. Not interested it either the main plot or any of the party members. Morrigan and Flemeth is probably the only thing I find mildly intriguing. 1
