Which was the first Elder Scrolls game you played?

Monday 31 October 2011

Say hello to my little (Dragon)friend!

It's been said, but yet to been done. I'd like to put emphasize on a really peculiar event that Howard recently spoke of: the befriending of a dragon.

 [Guess the movie reference in this post's title]

If you don't know yet, it just so happens that we will, presumably through the main quest, get a chance to get all social with a dragon, which we then eventually will be able to call to come and aid us in combat, with a dragon shout called "Animal Allegiance." It is the third and final word in the shout, which means that you'll have to find and master the two previous words before you'll be able to summon this fire-breathing son-of-a-bit.. Son-of-a-dragon.

How we meet it and how we persuade it to join our side, I have no idea of. I honestly didn't expect this. At this point I also feel like I should mention that you won't be able to ride him. Oh, and of course you can only summon him outside.

I really hope that we have to defeat him before he joins us, just to prove that we're more badass than him. It's actually just so I won't feel like a pansy for calling on him.

That aside, I've noticed something interesting about him - It might just be me that's colorblind, but I felt like I should throw my observation out there. Kinda like I throw soda cans after armadillo's. Only.
I'm weird, but Todd said that there were 6 main types of dragon, of which I think we've classified in another post, though it is not official, just observation.

If our list is right, then this fellow is one of the "unique" dragons, that differs from the other, typical (yet not quite so dull,) dragons. When I paused the video for the 132th time, I noticed that he was kind of a dark-blue / Purple color <--- So what kind of dragon is that supposed to be? A Jill? I don't think so, 'cause they are supposed to be black.

Who is this dragon? Why is he different? Why is he on our side? People, tell me - What the fuck is going on?

  12. The dragon you are talking about is actually one of Alduin's followers that (in the main quest) you call and battle (but you don't need to defeat him, merely trap him in Dragonreach's porch which was long ago meant for trapping dragons) and then talk to him since he will be helpless and is trapped he gives in and after talking to him he tells you where Alduin is and tells you that even though you have the voice of the dragon you don't have the wings and that if you let him free he will fly you there. So, after setting him free he waits for you to tell him you are ready to go and then you climb on his back and he takes you to the tip top of the mountain that Alduin is on. I warn you, TAKE HEALTH POTIONS! and after you defeat Alduin the dragon that helped you then becomes the dragon that you can call upon at any given moment (outside). I can't remember his name though.
