Dragons! Where are the dragons? I wanna kill dragons!

Alright. Help me understand why all this angst against dragons. Dragons are fun and would infuse ESO with much needed activity and player base.# JothanTheGreat

In Cyrodiil, I wanna see dragons attack vicious mob sergs flinging them with their tails, incinerating or freezing them with their breath. It would be a good reason to wear those element resistance enchantments no one ever uses.
I wanna fight, tame and ride dragons and attacking the enemy from high in the air on a dragon.

Here's the thing:
After Alduin was banished thousands of years before ESO, Dragons were still a somewhat common sight in Tamriel
However, when the Akaviri Dragonguard showed up near the end of the first era, they nearly eradicated every dragon. Only a handful remained, like Paarthurnax or Mirmulnir, and they went into hiding.
Because of this, seeing dragons as regular overworld encounters would go against the lore (and it should stay to just Skyrim)
Now, a dragon as a trial boss or a single story encounter, that would still be ok
But anything other than that gets a big fat

SolarCat02✭✭✭✭✭I am not against more Daedric Titans. They are very lore friendly and fit right in. Plus I love them.
It would also be fun to have a quest to go talk to Paarthurnax, but I don't know how they would swing that elegantly.
But proper dragons everywhere? I love how this game utilizes Skyrim and other past TES titles while still being its own game in its own right. I like that it isn't Skyrim, because if I want Skyrim I will just go play it.Why be normal when you can be better?

So that's why all the angst...some altruistic loyalty to a fictional fantasy storyline that can be altered to the whim of the creator and author. C'mon... [snip]

✭Besides the problem of lore, gamplay wise I really don't think having flying mounts would be balanced at all, let alone easily made in the game engine.
Also, people will just get upset at the RNG of a dragon spawning in PvP.
If you are talking overland, there are random occurences of enemies spawning on you all over the place. I often just walk away from them though as they have no reward as far as I can tell.Make PC NA raiding great again!

✭With just the tiniest bit of imagination, you can easily have a dragon encounter.
1) A Trial Where a hidden or presumed dead dragon is worshiped by a cult of whatevers - insert favorite bad guys here.
3) A Trial Where a dead dragon is brought back to life by a cult of dragon worshiping whatevers - of course it's an undead dragon but still.
3) A Trial Where the players travel back in time through some hole created by Molug Bal to bring a dragon back to lead his armies in the battle to take Tamriel. It can even be a dragon from history, because it was ASSUMED that the dragonguard killed it... but perhaps they just took credit for what a group of adventurers did when they suddenly appeared, killed the dragon and then disappeared without a trace.
4) A Trial to prevent Molug Bal from awakening a dragon the the Dragonguard had trapped in a magical status field because it was too powerful for them to defeat back then. It finally breaks lose and... DRAGON FIGHT!
So many options... with just a little imagination...1 -
DonWalking✭✭✭It wouldn't be possible. The lore states that dragons have been gone for HUNDREDS of years before Skyrim, we're talking about somewhere around 700 years, if not more. While ESO takes place only a few hundred years before Skyrim, like around 200 years. So it just wouldn't work, but I do like your idea, they could possibly make it work with Titans though, that would be sweet.Edited by DonWalking on December 14, 2016 7:27PM1 -

Those are daedric titians. There are a ton of them to fight all over the place, many of which come in flying. What's wrong with just fighting daedric titans, too good for them?
Oh...you mean those little dragonettes on the ground. LOL.
No, like the massive daedric titans in City of Ash, the last round of Maelstrom Arena and several more throughout the main story quests, just to name a few.BawKinTackWarDs PS4/NA0 -

Yep. Totally nailed it. Why would anyone doubt the wisdom and maturity of a thread with an opening post like this one has.
Yes, that was absolute sarcasm.
Do a google search for "Imperial Library". You might want to open another window with a dictionary to help you with the big words first, just in case. Read the lore they've built up over the span of the single player games. Read the history, the travel books, the biographies, the in-game background information.
Now, change it all because someone wants to fight a dragon just because.
Dragons and their priests ruled men and mer before, for a very long time. Bringing back the dragons would be a bad idea.
Did you know there's a game out where you can ride dinosaurs? You can even equip the dinosaurs with LASERS!!!! Doesn't that sound fun? Go check it out and play that game, m'kay? http://dinostorm.com/en/

Too bad for you that you can't appreciate the world that Bethesda created and ZOS is playing in. I doubt you'll get much support from any of the long time ES players for your "lets ignore everything that makes the world unique cause killing dragons is coooooool" take on it.

Yeah. Totally. The dwemer centurions and the giant walking crossbow dwemer siege machines that actually were/are in the world are just not enough. You have no idea about this game world, do you. Have fun then.
There are many more things they could do besides the dragons that aren't around in their thousands for people to kill.
