BTW how would your non-dragonborn kill them, seeing as dragons can only be killed by other dragons, anyone else just knocks them out if anything.

Well, not exactly. Anyone can kill a dragon (it's what the Blades were organized to do), and by the time of ESO almost all dragons had been killed by normal people hunting them down. It's just that only a dragon or dragonborn can absorb their souls once they've been killed, and thus only a dragon or dragonborn can make sure that the dead dragon stays dead forever (instead of just being dead for a millennium or so until Alduin gets a chance to fly around bringing them all back).

I know exactly what you are referring to but what I mean is the blades can't permanently kill a dragon, If they try to kill one it will be no different to knocking them out for a long time until a someone with the Thu'um comes along and yells at them to get up.

At this early time in ESOs life, it's too soon to introduce more than that one Dragon at the end of that one dungeon/delve/zone/whatever.
Right now, too few players want dragons, and ZOS will very much likely hurt themselves beyond recovery from the pissed off players that love the lore.
However, try again at least a few years down the road.
There might be more (new/newer) players that don't give a *** about lore by then.

As for myself, I don't want to see dragons, save for that one in that one dungeon.
As for flying mounts giving some uber advantages in combat: unmountable in (some) combat and all PvP zones and all attacks/spells/abilities cause you to dismount. I think that's about what WoW does.

definitelly yes!! screw the lore!!

go play a game that has them. you obviously don't care about this one.

No, the dragons are not due to return for another 1200 years yet. The only exceptions would be paarthurnax and Durnehvrir in coldharbour, but not for riding.

This isn't WoW, but I wouldn't mind having less damage while mounted like adding points into vitality or something just for mounts.

Off topic, but no, this isn't WoW.. but flying mounts wouldn't hurt (they needn't be dragons).. nor would some actual endgame content, like WoW..

They should have had titans flying around in coldharbor randomly landing on things before flying off again, just for the immersion.

That actually would have been awesome!

I'd like to see Titans used in ESO in the same way dragons are used in Skyrim - seemingly random in-world encounters.

As for flying mounts? No way, no how.

N O spells NO.

I'll have to say no, even though dragons are my favourite creature, always have been and always will be, but I just feel things would go very wrong and not work if they were added to ESO.

I would like to see a lag free cyradil, not cosmetic things

No. Just no.

The very most I would be willing to allow would be to see Paarth flying from a very long distance away if your character was in the appropriate area in the Rift. Yes, there are dragons rumored to be around. There aren't dozens playing taxi for wanna-be sky lords or whatever. The distances aren't great enough for flying anything mounts.

There are enough issues with lag and stuttering without adding flying mounts, dragons or not. The game needs fixes and tweaks much more than flying mounts.

They should fix ground mount animations before venturing off into the sky. The ground mounts are ***,imo.

I do care about this game a lot. Actualy I love this game. But I am free to flexibly flex the lore to any great idea. I loved the dragons in Skyrim, why not too here?

You do not need a dragonborn to kill a dragon. There can be some hidden dragons which the lore did not discover or already forgot. Ancient ones. What about that kind of story? for example spoiler: they give magical buffs when killed

I care about the game too, which is precisely why I think real dragons should never be implemented.
Even with the flexibility of lore, There is barely (if any) a lore backflip in existence that wouldn't seem cheap.
Dragon breaks, hidden dragons, forgotten caverns--all of them are hard to view as anything but a cheap form of pandering that at the same time gives damage and ridicule to large part of the TES fan base.

The only exception I could think of was if a single dragon was employed as a trial boss or something in a highly geographically isolated area. THAT can prove to be a skillful implementation of a dragon if they do it right. Hell, even the Titans are a kinda example of non-cliche dragon implementation.

But dragons as common as skyrim's dragons? Mountable dragons that players ride? Ludicrous. Crass. Crude.
