Q: Skyrim: Dragons Attacking After Main Quest Complete ?

Post by jack63ss »

When you complete the Main Quest are the dragons supposed to stop attacking ? I had figured that when I completed the Main Quest that they would, however it appears they are still do. Is this "as designed" or "a glitch" ?
Thanks

If they disappeared after the Main Quest, that would be an incentive for certain players not to finish it, as they would want a source of dragon souls to unlock Shouts.

Not all dragons would follow Paarthunax's lead. There are plenty who will seek domination even after the loss of Alduin (as they did when he disappeared so very long ago).
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Thanks. I just re-read the UESP section on Dragons and it does say they continue to attack.
