    One as a trial boss? I can see that.

    I am sure there's maybe one or two in lore around at this time.

    Not for riding though.

    It would have to be a baby Dragon for a mount and that would be cruel anyway:P

    Again, there are no baby dragons. That's like saying you expect to find a baby car.

    there are baby cars look at the mini cooper ;) and they make mini cars for kids now so you can find them

    The trial boss could drop a dragon mount!

    No.

    Why?

    Because you don't know how to shout.

    I can yell all day, what does that have to do with my dragon mount?

    Yeah, but you can't shout. It's not the same thing.

    How are yelling and shouting not the same thing? And what does it have to do with my dragon?

    You can't shout; you can't communicate with a dragon. And, no, I don't mean yelling, I mean actually speaking in the dragon language.

    If you really want to sort this out, and play the kind of character who can ride a dragon, then you need to go play Skyrim.

    and if we wanted to play skyrim we would we want a ride able dragon in eso obviously lmao not skyrim. Why is that the common consensus oh you want dragons go play skyrim... no we don't want to play skyrim or we would be playing it not requesting dragons in eso... that is not a valid solution

    The thing you aren't understanding is that it takes a Dragonborn, who speaks the language of the dragons to be able to ride a dragon temporarily. There are no known Dragonborns in this era, and The Vestige certainly isn't one.

    The closest we have to dragons here is the Daedric Titans, who were created by Molag Bal from a dragon he captured, tortured and used the skeleton of.

    I'm sure there are others who have rode dragons other than a dragon born. I mean there are others who learned how to shout that aren't dragon born. So how it is not feasible that someone could learn to ride a dragon?

    I agree that there's a few outside of the Dragonborn who learned the language. Through many many years of study most likely. If you want to spend years in game sitting and reading to develop this skill, all good.

    As for others who have ridden a dragon . . . None that I've ever heard of.

    You won't listen to the fact that it's incorrect lore wise, and you won't listen to the fact that this game isn't coded for flying mounts, so we have reached an impasse. I bow out. Peace! :smile:

    @JD2013 I do not want flying mounts!!! I have stated several times no flying just a dragon lmao. read more bud
    there are baby cars look at the mini cooper ;) and they make mini cars for kids now so you can find them

    Very funny. :|

    The issue is that Skyrim has you playing a fundamentally different kind of being from ESO. If you want to play an individual wandering Tamriel with the power to compel dragons and bend them to their will, that's Skyrim, not ESO. If you want to play a near daedra who can't be killed, then that's ESO.

    as being a near daedra we cant be killed so we could confront a dragon and bend its will eventually

    We can't be killed permanently. We can be killed. You planning on annoying the dragon into submission? Maybe eventually having us come back over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over will make the dragon tired of killing us. So ir would just ignore us. Or it would just leave. Cause dragons fly. And they ruled over us for eons. They aren't going to let their slaves order them around.

    we would just jump on their backs and be like lets go dragon wooooo!!!

    stock up on soul gems and stab a sword in their back on the upper part by the head so they can reach us. This being after we bore the dragon of killing us so we can ride on it. could make a deal we ride it and not be annoying for all eternity haha

    You may not have noticed, but when you suffer fatal damage, you do get knocked to the ground, and your temporarily dead body is just kinda floppin' around like a normal corpse. Then you can self rez, and get back up, but there's plenty of time for a creature, so inclined to decide, "nah, I'm going to wander off, if this thing is just going to keep coming back from the dead."

    This is of course, assuming the dragon doesn't decide to torment you for all of time, and exploit the fact that you don't die to torture you. Though, you can have the last laugh then by rezing at a wayshrine instead of on the spot. But, with only a handful of Dragons active on Tamriel, good luck finding the same one again, if it decides to wander off and avoid you... which they are actually prone to doing, btw.

    don't forget it cant move too far from the spawn point because of game mechanics so I'm sure it would be at the same exact spot ;)

    Actually, they can. I mean, if we're talking about game mechanics that specifically apply to Dragons, as their distinct AI package, they do not leash. They won't usually leave their word walls, (if they spawn on one), but they can, and if you pull one too far off of its wall, and leave the area, they can actually despawn, as I recall.

    You know what else isn't in ESO?

    Dragons.

    If you're wanting to talk about game mechanics regarding them, then, yes, Skyrim is relevant. And, oh, look, they don't leash, they don't reliably sit at a spawn point and wait for you to kill them. They are, oddly enough, smarter than that. And, Skyrim does have some leashing, so it's not like the idea is completely alien, it's just not something that applies to Dragons.

    Ew no, single player games are super boring. Except for the Witcher 3, that game was incredible!

    There's at least one dragon around at this time, specifically one named Nafaalilargus, if Redguard is considered canon. I'd just like to point that out, even if I completely disagree with the idea of a dragon mount.

    They're sentient beings, and very, very proud ones at that; it took the Dovahkiin the entire three words of the Bend Will shout to ride any dragon, considering they're being temporarily brainwashed into the Dragonborn's service.

    Dragons are also waaaay too big for mounts in this game. Horses aren't even properly proportional, so I highly doubt a dragon would make it.

    There are creatures called "dragonlings" which were introduced in Daggerfall, but they're unrelated, and not actually dragons. So they, or other draconic creatures like, say, wyverns or wyrms (the latter of which have actually at least been mentioned in this mythos) might be suitable for mounts. But actual dragons? No.

    don't forget it cant move too far from the spawn point because of game mechanics so I'm sure it would be at the same exact spot ;)

    Actually, they can. I mean, if we're talking about game mechanics that specifically apply to Dragons, as their distinct AI package, they do not leash. They won't usually leave their word walls, (if they spawn on one), but they can, and if you pull one too far off of its wall, and leave the area, they can actually despawn, as I recall.

    we aren't talking about skyrim here but ESO :p that kind of mechanic isn't in eso

    You know what else isn't in ESO?

    Dragons.

    If you're wanting to talk about game mechanics regarding them, then, yes, Skyrim is relevant. And, oh, look, they don't leash, they don't reliably sit at a spawn point and wait for you to kill them. They are, oddly enough, smarter than that. And, Skyrim does have some leashing, so it's not like the idea is completely alien, it's just not something that applies to Dragons.

    actually there is a dragon who does. It is an ice dragon always in the same spot. You walk up near the spot and he flies out of the hiding spot and can engage in a fight. so wrong again good sir. ;) and dragons are in eso they are a part of the lore just because in hiding doesn't mean they cant be found.

    No.

    Why?

    Because you don't know how to shout.

    I can yell all day, what does that have to do with my dragon mount?

    Yeah, but you can't shout. It's not the same thing.

    How are yelling and shouting not the same thing? And what does it have to do with my dragon?

    You can't shout; you can't communicate with a dragon. And, no, I don't mean yelling, I mean actually speaking in the dragon language.

    If you really want to sort this out, and play the kind of character who can ride a dragon, then you need to go play Skyrim.

    Ew no, single player games are super boring. Except for the Witcher 3, that game was incredible!

    You can always mod the snot out of it.

    It's an evolving game and anything is possible - lore or not. My guess is that eventually they're going to introduce real dragons in some format just to keep people interested in playing the game.

    There's at least one dragon around at this time, specifically one named Nafaalilargus, if Redguard is considered canon. I'd just like to point that out, even if I completely disagree with the idea of a dragon mount.

    They're sentient beings, and very, very proud ones at that; it took the Dovahkiin the entire three words of the Bend Will shout to ride any dragon, considering they're being temporarily brainwashed into the Dragonborn's service.

    this would suffice lmao for the purposes of having a dragon mount imo

    I mean call it what you like if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck then its a duck. duck goose swan same thing really lol

    No, seriously, there is a multiplayer mod in the works. I know PvP was on the long term slate for it, though I'm not sure what the current state of the project is.

    It is. I mean, Stros M'Kai is actually in the game. And, yeah, I forgot about Nafaalilargus when I was listing off known active dragons earlier, mybad.

    So lets say they add flying mounts some day, if dragons would be so bad, can't they just add some new creature that's similar to a dragon but not really a dragon? Keeps lore guys happy and lets those of us who prefer having cool stuff get what we want.

    LoL, I want dragons and damned with your canon and lore, damned with your history, damned with everything this world represents.

    I WANT IT SO IT HAS TO MAKE SENSE.

    Trust me, the trolling potential of a cliffracer mount far outweighs anything you could dream of.

    well it makes sense if you think about it. I busted holes in the lore. just because no one has seen a baby dragon doesn't mean they just exist. Don't believe a dremora they all lie lol. there are too many holes in the lore where they didn't want to explain so there is a reason they didn't. meaning it is possible

    I don't know the lore very well, it means absolutely nothing to me. Having a cool dragon mount however I'd be very interested in.
