That's not the case in ESO.īelow: Dragons in ESO will just sit there and patiently wait to be attacked.
When I discover one, it's almost always stirring up its own kind of trouble that I just happen to walk in on. That's one of the reasons why I love Skyrim's dragons so much: They're an organic (and terrifying) part Skyrim's natural ecosystem. That's a far cry from in Skyrim, where dragons will often ignore me entirely in favor of burning down Whiterun or savaging nearby creatures. Once they land, they tend to sit there patiently waiting for nearby players to form up and attack. And though they often try to mimic the way Skyrim's dragons behave, ESO's dragons more often feel like a crude approximation.ĭragons in ESO are effectively a run-of-the-mill raid boss. Each dragon that spawns is meant to be killed by dozens of players working together, which immediately gives the fight a different flavor than in Skyrim. More importantly, that means you're also complete shit at killing a dragon and have no chance of taking one on alone.
You can't shout away your problems and you don't get to consume a dragon's soul when you defeat one. Unlike in Skyrim, though, you are not the Dragonborn. While completing the main story, you'll also encounter more than a few dragons during scripted cutscenes and boss battles, but I'm going to mainly focus on the dragons that periodically spawn across Elsweyr.īelow: ESO's dragons can take a lot of punishment. But what interested me was the ability to fight dragons which would spawn periodically across that new zone.
With Elsweyr, players get a new zone to explore along with a bunch of new quests. Once they land, they tend to sit there patiently waiting for nearby players to form up and attack.Ĭonsidering ESO is calling 2019 its Season of the Dragon, it's fair to say that dragons will play a big role in the MMO's evolving story-and I hope that means how dragons are implemented will evolve too. dragonĭragons in ESO are effectively a run-of-the-mill raid boss. But how does fighting a dragon in Elder Scrolls Online compare to fighting on in Skyrim, and which game has the best dragons? Dragon vs. Though it's set in the arid deserts of the Khajiit homeland-far from the frigid tundra of Skyrim-a silly mage has gone and awoken a fleet of dragons that are ravaging the poor Khajiit of Elsweyr. Thank god for Elsweyr, The Elder Scrolls Online's latest expansion, then.
