who's glad the dragons look more unique than the ones in Skyrim?
-
VDoom1✭✭✭✭✭yes i amI'm glad that the thing separating these dragons is not just color like in Skyrim. Granted special dragons did get a bit more unique model like Alduin. But the average dragon you encountered in the wilds looked a lot like the rest of them. Most of the time the biggest difference in Skyrim was head shape and color.
Still bugs me that if you want to be 100% correct these are....wyverns! xD Though read somewhere that technically wyverns are a subspecies of dragons...Edited by VDoom1 on March 26, 2019 6:18AMWe Fight For Cyrodiil.

Some of that is a deliberate art choice. Skyrim's dragons were very washed out, because everything in TES5 is washed out. It reinforces the feeling of the cold, harsh, environment. But it does mean everything looks faded. ESO, in contrast, is much more vibrant.
I would say “cartoonish” rather than vibrant. I always felt ESO had a more cartoon look than Skyrim.PS4 Pro NA0 -

Thats what you get if you play a modified Skyrim probably (immersive dragons mod ?)
Because in Vanilla Skyrim they looked similar to the ESO dragons (aka Wyvern model)
Also Wyverns are prototypical dragons. Lots of stories use this type of Dragon as a dragon.
The movie Reign of Fire used this model and called them dragons. Also the very old disney movie Dragonslayer (from the 80's) used this model and didn't name the movie Wyvernslayer. And of course Game of Thrones has Wyverns but are called Dragons.

MrGraves✭✭✭✭yes i amI'm fine with Skyrim dragons but I like that the Elsweyr ones don't all look the same as eachother.
There wasn't alot of variety in skyrim atleast not with like most dragon fights since one attacks every 2 seconds like a cliffracer.
Also I like the colourfulness of them. The skyrim designs were fine but it's nice to see new stuff.0 -

✭✭✭✭It would actually be cool if the dragon fights were similar to what Capcom did with the big boss dragon in Dragon’s Dogma. You got a window of time to wail away at the thing’s massive health bar, then it flew away. Players from all over the world had to take turns chipping away at it until it finally died. The Ur Dragon, I think it was called? Then you got loot after it died, based on the damage you did. Now that was one massive dragon.
Good times.
That's a great idea, unless you're a tank or healer, then you get screwed.0 -

HidesFromSun✭✭✭yes i amFeeling indifferent about their looks tbh.
Somewhat overwhelmed that they will be trial enemies that only 0,001% of the player base can master. Either that or the world events where they show up will be underwhelming. You don't get to kill them so I guess they pop up, summon some baddies and leave. That's it.
Is that confirmed? That you'll only fight the dragons in a Trial?

Good times.
The Ur-Dragon was a really interesting fight. I mean, across the board, Dragon's Dogma had a lot of really interesting concepts getting floated around, and the Ur-Dragon was one of those.
I don't think the Ur-Dragon fight would really fit an MMO, per se. Actually, let me step back, I know it would, with multiple players in the same instance, but those kinds of massive world boss encounters can easily turn into a lagfest. Either way, that is a really cool game. Never played the MMO they made out of it, though.
Unfortunately they decided never port it to Western audiences so the only way to play it was to use a VPN to give yourself a Japanese IP and then download the launcher & create an account that way. Couldn't read a thing without an overly complicated method of translating the game so it was nigh unplayable for the most part. It ended up being far too complicated to play by just winging it through the menus lol.. Kinda reminded me of FFXI in some ways.
Saddened me greatly when I read an article this past February that when faced with the decision to either make Dragons Dogma 2 or Devil May Cry #... who cares, that they decided on another DMC sequel.

Those two used the same visual appearance as the Revered Dragons which would start spawning around level 60 normally. I can't remember if their behavior with the ice was in the normal AI package for dragons or not, but I think it was. There's just almost no places in the game where they can do that.0 -
Grandma✭✭✭✭✭yes i amHaving a unique looking dragon really sets up the feeling that they are powerful, godlike entities that have existed longer than your civilization. When they all look copy pasted like in Skyrim it made it feel like they were more like a rat problem than a collection of unique characteristic DRAGONS. so this is nice.GH / 3/04/2021 / Elemental Catalyst Necromancer1 -

I'm going from memory right now, but Skyrim only had about 15 dragon models total. A few were pretty memorable, but aside from a handful of unique ones (Paarthunax, Alduin, Durnirviir), they were all reused. Even some of the unique named ones were simply copies of non-named variants.
That said, if you didn't spend a lot of time hunting dragons, you might not notice.
I'm not an expert on what constitutes as "[x] more unique than [y]" when it comes to that game versus this game, I guess...0 -

I'm pretty sure the devs themselves said they had no intention of doing it for the first few years because it wasnt congruent with the lore for the time period that ESO takes place in.1 -
