See how you fair against dragons who can poison you, use unblockable attacks, stomp you or become so irritated that they rush you. Skyrim’s modding community has breathed new life into the aging RPG by adding new species of dragons, new attack styles, and features that add to the immersion of the game. Yes, it’s a win, but where is the challenge for a level 60 Dragonborn? Well, to be honest, the challenge is found in mods. You start to notice how repetitive their attacks are and exploit them to heart’s desire. This is especially true if you are a higher level player who has already slain multiples of each type. However, even with 14 different variations, sometimes combat can get a little stale. There is nothing more satisfying than overcoming a high-powered foe, despite their use of Drain Vitality.
There are so many different variations found in Skyrim, from the lowly Brown Dragon to the regal Legendary Dragon to dragons who scale with the player.
They are so important to the game that they continue to attack the citizens of Skyrim, even after Paarthurnax says he will teach them the “Way of the Voice.” Oh well, you can’t change everyone, although this is a good thing for fans of in-game dragon encounters.
What would Skyrim be without dragons? Well, apparently not much.
