One of Skyrim's major talking points was the introduction of dragons into the Elder Scrolls lore. The main story revolves around the Dragonborn and his or her fight to stop Alduin, a dragon who a prophecy says will destroy the world. However, outside of the story, dragons are still a key feature. As you explore Skyrim, you will randomly encounter the winged flamethrowers with battle following shortly after. The first time a dragon roars overhead and lands in front of you, you'll be in awe. Dragons have enormous health pools and the damage these creatures can dish out is scary - you'll feel on edge the entire time you're wailing away at them. Admittedly, as the number of encounters you stumble upon increase, dragons begin to irritate a lot more than they impress. As you near the endgame, they won't even be much of a challenge anymore as your improved armor will negate much of their damage. Still, the first time you fight a dragon in the wild is a great moment; it's a shame that magic couldn't be recreated consistantly.
I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
