You know what is epic? What I just saw on my brother's copy of Skyrim.

I was playing it for a little while. I own the 360 version, and he has a PC version. I was trying out his character to see what he had different than mine. We both rolled the same class essentially - high elf battlemage, but with mostly different loadouts in every slot.

At any rate, he tells me to travel to an area just to complete a simple quest. I fast travel to the area.

I begin talking to the lady to finish the quest and recieve the item.

Out of no where, in the background, I see an immense dragon flying towards me in the background. It gets closer and closer while I am finishing up this conversation, and eventually begins to breathe fire on myself and the woman I am having a conversation with.

From that, we began a 15 minute battle with not ONE but TWO dragons attacking the area. Every humanoid and animal character within a 1 mile radius began attacking the dragon. Fire, flames, arrows, and swords were clanging together to fight off the beasts. You would see them land in the distance, and begin to massacre and eat imperial soldiers, wolves, and whatever else was in the area. Eventually, we won, but the entire town was ransacked. The dragon nearly destroyed a farm house by sitting of its roof, while spitting flames at the townspeople.

It was 100% unscripted. Totally random. I have never seen that kind of random brilliance in any game.

i suggest you give this one a chance, like i said this is Skyrim not oblivion, Skyrim to Oblivion is like Assassins Creed 1 to assassins Creed 2.

huge difference in content and AC 1 was boring as hell compared, so i say give it a chance and you won't regret it.

How do you spend 15 minutes killing them, with the aid of all those others? I kill two on my own in less than two minutes...

When they fly around a lot in an area with a lot of trees. This was in between Whiterun and Windhelm at the little mining camp. Not a good area to get a lot of arrows or fireballs off. The dragons would constantly sweep in, breathe some fire, then fly off with a guard in their mouths or something of that nature. Generally, they kept away from close in fighting until they were hurt enough. Once my brother could engage them with melee, they went down VERY quickly.

I only flip to third person when I'm running around or want to see what my character looks like in new armor. That being said, everybody in the "lol third person view is garbage, and I don't play first person so I'm not buying this" camp can stop pretending like they were even thinking about getting this game. All the videos they showed before the game were in first person, Bethesda games have always had crappy third person camera angles, and there was absolutely nothing to indicate this game would be different. Do us all a favor and stop acting like this game was ever high on your priority list. I'm sure people eagerly awaiting FF XIII-2 would feel the same if loads of people were posting "What?!? Same awful battle system as XIII? No buy!" It gets annoying after awhile...

What happens when the dragon kills an important NPC? I'd be seriously pissed if that would happen.

i'm actually working on a video to show off the third person gameplay, on Skyrim it is actually a lot improved over older games, as for haters, well they can keep on hating, they're the ones who are missing out on one of the best games every made.

a bit offtopic  , do you know that some people think they made Skyrim a first person because they wanted to attract Call Of Duty fans, yeah i know.... why are gamers so fucking dumb? , i mean the first Elder Scrolls released was before we even had CDs , they used Floppy Disks, and Activision wasn't even making first person shooters.

Mainline quest NPCs revive, I believe. Of course, dragons killing off miscelaneous quest NPCs is the spice of life: It ensures that you'll never accomplish all quests in a single run through.

Does it allow you to ride a dragon? If not GTFO. :P
Seriously, the best games allow you to ride dragons.
