dragons

Lightninvash

we should have dragon mounts in game would be awesome. Or if some Dlc they came out had an explanation of what happened to the dragons since they are in hiding or something at this time. then they could make a dragon mount and costume. And in the dlc we find the dragons and tame one as a pet haha.

yeah and lightning lizards

There are dragons all over, and fun to kill in Cyrodiil.

Khajiit does not believe in dragons or giraffies or hippomooses or drop bears.

This one she does believe in Totoro. Khajiit had a long conversation with him about pants after a heavy drinking session at The Rosy Lion about two Fishmases ago. In the morning she wakes and finds a sleeping overweight Nord wearing a donkey hat sprawled out on the pavement. Khajiit has always about the coincidence of meeting two such interesting characters in the same place on the same night.

Pining for the fjords.

For real, though, the dragons are all but extinct in the Second Era. Between the Dragon War and ensuing systematic hunts, there's no reason for a dragon to feel the need to rear its head.

Also muh immersion.

They're hiding or dead.

And the game is not programmed to support flight in game.

Long story short:

No dragon for you.

Bump for flying dragon mounts!

I hate to think how much recoding of the base game that would take. Not an easy job, likely not doable given the time between DLC etc. They don't just code in a couple of lines and voila


And I think the devs have stated this a few times that they're not bringing flying mounts in. Also, this game isn't like WoW whereby you have one large world. It's divided into zones. Limited range for flying.


Add into that what it would do to Cyrodiil and lag in general. The engine can't handle cloaks, you think they'll add in flying mounts? No siree.

I wasn't specifically thinking of flying mounts more of the dragon mount would fly along the surface like any other mount would be but have the look of a dragon. They would get a lot of revenue this way and we would be able to find out what happened to the dragons in this era. It would no longer be a mystery could have dragons in the game without being like skyrim and fighting them. So people would have the ability to have dragons in the game as a mount and maybe a costume that is dragon like. possibly a pet this would all be doable.

The only dragons would be the one in the story line that the vestige finds and tames as his/ her pet. Which grows up to become his mount @JD2013

idk

Dragon mount would lol silly since it could not fly. Zos has said no flying mounts.

I also think you are forgetting that;

1. Dragons are basically Gods in Tamriel lore. You don't tame and ride a dragon unless one happens to be dragonborn, which the Vestige isn't.
2. Dragons don't reproduce, they just are. So there would not be enough canonically to go around.
3. Dragons fly in the sky

Now there may be other dragon like creatures in lore, like wyverns, but true dragons would never be tamed and ridden by The Vestige

This is literally like saying your character tamed a Dremora. The Elder Scrolls' Dragons aren't animals, they're a kind of sentient aedric construct, more akin to a cross between an Attronach and a higher Daedra.

Or there are baby dragons but no one has seen them because they are in hiding. Nothing gets created by nothing just to poof into thin air. There is always a birthing process and growth.

The difference is conjuration spells are bindings that pull beings from various planes of Oblivion, usually temporarily. They don't actually tame anything.

Also, before you ask, you can't actually use conjuration to pull in Aedric creatures. To say nothing of the Dragons that are literal gods, and enormously more powerful than the creatures you can actually hope to bind as a mortal mage. This is like saying, "hey I can summon a bound scamp so why not a Titan or Sheogorath, they're all the same, right?"

No. No, they're not.

well there are the constructs... which are robots technically. and we all know engine guardian tames one of them kind of

Again, @Lightninvash, I'm going to stress this for you, to see if you can understand.

There are a number of things about The Elder Scrolls which deliberately mess with the Tolkienesque fantasy structure and inject pure psychotropic substances into its tear ducts. Dragons are one of these things.

The Dragons of The Elder Scrolls are not living animals. They are constructs, created by the aedra (that's the eight divines, and a few of their closest buddies, like Lorkan, lest you're confused). They're literally not alive. They don't reproduce. They do have genders, but don't lay eggs, or reproduce.

The closest dragons in The Elder Scrolls get to sexual reproduction or offspring are the Dragonborn; mortals who are descendants of Alessia who was gifted with... something, by Akatosh, the Dragon God of Time. You can't summon him as an attack pet either, if you were wondering.

Again, scale. And you can't summon Aedra at all using the magic available to your character.

I think it will happen eventually as a trial boss, it will be just one Dragon though. Apparently in the timeline they're extremely rare and purposefully keeping out of sight
