Dragons flying over main cities?

during the new event Zos said there would be dragons flying over main cities to remind players the event is going on. Do you think the npc's will react to having a dragon flying over them? Or will they carry on like normal?

I do like the idea, but it would add to the depth of these events if cosmetics and npc's of main cities changed per event.

    One of the cities dragons can fly over is Mournhold -

    If only they could land, we could finally see what the immortal guards were capable of. Or is that why they DONT land?

    Yeah I saw one over Stormhaven in the PTS last night, NPCs do react.

    TBH I love the idea but the dragon don't feel menacing at all. It's just flying there pretty much like a seagull or a dove on the sky. IDK if there are different interactions but that was my personal experience.

    There should be some tweaks, like adding roars, make the dragon spit w/e its element is or add the dynamic weather added with Dragonhold for example. That would be lovely!

    "Do you know how long I've been... Malacath's ***, that's a Dragon!"

    "Praise Vivec! You were there to stop... drop and roll, you're on fire!

    "You want to cry me a river? Maybe you can hide under it from that dragon..."

    This is awesome. I love it.

    Skyrim in 2021? I'm starting to believe it more than ever.

    Like I've said before. I'm calling it now. Blackreach & Forgotten Vale as either trials or public dungeons. Knight Paladin Gelebor I reckon, we will meet again.

    Can't wait to see them flying. Will make the world feel connected which I think is so important to making a virutal world feel fantastic.

    I would not praise their "attention to detail" when the game is littered with "details" as shown in the image below.

    I would actually prefer to see Blackreach as an overland zone, it's too much potential to be wasted NOT being truly able to be enjoyed as an area without other distractions.

    I saw the dragons on the test server flying over Daggerfall and Vulkhel Guard. They looked amazing. Some of the townspeople fled from them and ran indoors, but not all.

    It was very cool, though.

    But yeah, you can't fight them, only look at them.

    Good to know some NPC's react to them!

    But, can you hear them? Or are they just a nice textures flying above our heads?

    Dragons avoid Cyrodiil cause they are afraid of lag ;)

    Well I went to school for art/design and I have held positions where I had to give art direction on a daily basis. I would not let that lack of attention to detail fly. It literally takes ZERO effort to make that room correct. They can either do it right or do it wrong, the cost difference is zero. The fact that they chose to do it wrong speaks about the laziness of the development team (IMO).

    Here is another (I dare not show all the example I have seen in game. Its bad, really bad).
