Pop a resist potion to reduce damage taken, swap to resist gear. Makes them a bit easier to fight.

If you wear light armour, might be easier to take them out at range. Takes a lot longer, but a lot safer. Pack lots of healing potions!

Yeah it still works all the way through the game, I still tend to do it. Giant camps work the best. Just when you're at one of them dragon nest things right at the top of a mountain it can be a bit long to run for like 10 minutes to find someone to help you take it down, in which time the dragon might fuck off.

Yeah I just pop shots at it with a bow, think my Daedric bow is at like 100 damage or so. Still takes a good 30 arrows to bring them down, I just hide behind rocks and the dragon tends to land and fight my horse for a bit, managed to kill the last ancient dragon without being hit once.

Dragons keep spawning, flying around roaring and pissing me off, then buggering off without attacking. Not entirely sure if it's just alduin flying around being a tosser or if the dragons that i've found so far are just buggy. Needs dem souls tho

Most will attack but some don't and just stay in the scenery. You'll run across loads, I keep getting attacked everywhere I go. 9 souls saved up, and enough scales/bones to make several sets of armour.

lol that alduin is a dick isnt he? i dont care whether he wants to rule the world or end it or whatever, the fact he's a cocky twat makes me want to kill him more.

i've had a few dragons fly off and go attack someone else down the road sometimes, might be that..

They probably are going off to attack towns tbh, although if that's the case riften must be like Kvatch by now.

And yeah I wouldn't have any problem with alduin if he didn't have such an attitude.

Any news on a next patch? My game glitched making it unable for me to continue the Thieve's Guild and haven't played it since.
I know, what is a Bethesda game without glitches, right? But still, 60 hours down the drain ffs.

Back to playing some Resi 5.

I think my companions quests are bugged, got a quest saying to talk to the companions leaders for work but nothing happens if I speak to anyone. Although with the insane amount of quests I've currently got I've most likely already got a quest off them.

I had a dragon fly off and attack a giant.. The giant proceeded to calmly beat the living shit out of the dragon. Even dragons can't fuck with giants.

Somewhere in the 70s I think, possibly 80.

Archery in this game is quality. Just sneeking around and picking people off is good fun.
