ZOS once said that dragons awake in Skyrim, so in ESO time they do not exist. But it couldn't be further from truth.
In Elder Scrolls Travels: Redguard you can see a dragon named Nafaalilargus. This dragon served Tiber Septim -300 years after ESO time- so it's obvious that there were dragons before Skyrim. Also note that dragons are immortal so Nafaalilargus should be existing in ESO time.
Another dragon is Skakmat which lived in Betony War (3rd Era, year 402).
So the reason we don't see dragons in ESO is that Zenimax won't do it. Excusing Elder Scrolls lore is fully nonsense.
But rewarding an emperor with a dragon is an idea as Nafaalilargus serves Tiber Septim after 300 years
Yep. There are dragons around, very few active, however. There are NOT enough dragons around to have a mount for every wanna-be dragonborn to ride.
I would love to see Parth flying high over the Rift from the Throat of the World...... But everyone riding around on dragons? No, thanks.

They do exist. There's even one we know of who's alive and active in Skyrim throughout basically all of Tamriel history after the Dragon War. Hell, Tiber Septim even made a pact with some dragons - that was during the second era which is also when ESO takes place (In fact Tiber is 300 years after ESO) so yes - Dragons are still around, though not in great abundance - certainly not great enough to turn them into mounts and pets or even try to involve them in the story.
That's the lore answer. However we know the reality is they aren't present simply because ZOS is incompetent, lazy - or maybe a bit of both and couldn't design them to save their lives. We're talking about a developer who claims they can't pull off clothe physics, forget about dragon wings and other complex models.themaddaedra wrote: »Dragons don't exist at that time aswell, as far as i know.

Actually, dragons can and did die by the thousands so they are not Immortal.
Alduin is the Firstborn of Akatosh and "The Eater of Time", so yes he is Immortal, but....
During the "Merethic Era, the Akavari hunted and killed dragons by the thousands. The survivors fled to Atmora and Northern Skyrim.
There they sought to enslave and dominate humans through their dragonpriests.
The "Dragon Wars" all but annihilated the whole dragon race. A SMALL handfull did survive.
In the time frame of ESO (2E583), no dragon has been seen in over 300 years:
Grahkrindrog - Slain in 2E 184
Krahjotdaan - Slain in 1E 2871
Mirmulnir - Last sighted in the Reach in 2E 212.
Only one dragon will be seen in the next 948 years, and that is Naafalilargus, who was in Redguard and the dragon who helped Tiber Septin some 400 years after ESO.
So as said, to have hundreds and thousands of Dragons running around ESO WOULD be Lore breaking.
Note: Dragons are only in 2 of the 10 TES games. And Daggerfall it is only 1 dragon..

Nordic_Pirate✭✭✭✭OP here, I was not expecting this thread to blow up like this. I figured it was a rumor, as stated in the original message. I do appreciate you all coming here, and glad I could provide some (small) entertainment to you all.Edited by Nordic_Pirate on October 10, 2017 1:38AMYes, I do heartily repent. I repent I had not done more mischief; and that we did not cut the throats of them that took us, and I am extremely sorry that you aren't hanged as well as we.

✭✭✭✭ZOS made cliffers cripple because they can't make flying creatures. Ops sorry, I meant to say "because cliff racers aren't evolved to fly at this time"
Hey those $%#%^ red winged flying "birdies" are labled as "cliff racers". That is SOOO wrong.
Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis0 -

✭✭✭✭Flying was fun in Morrowind (the game, not the expansion), especially at high speeds.
But I did crash the game a lot. I deserved it for badly abusing the alchemy system. (I routinely took my INT up to over 2000 before making any other kinds of potion. Fun times.)0 -

✭✭Flying ruined WoW pretty much. Thats why we are all here.
When this game has even 10% as many players as WoW you may have a point, until then you don't.

WoW had competition, it just did most things better than most of that competition - especially the marketing. But it also had solid content to back that marketing up. I think Flying Mounts were a good idea when they were introduced, probably not so much now.
But the claim I was responding to that "Flying ruined WoW pretty much. Thats why we are all here." was not only clearly hyperbole, but it was also demonstrably false - because WoW still has more Subscriber than this game has players.
Now, don't think for one minute I prefer WoW to ESO, I don't.
I currently Sub to only one game - ESO.
But that claim was utter rubbish, and that is what I was responding to.
