For me, the dragons go far off to get killed by some random animal.

Often a dragon will orbit overhead until I use Dragonrend on it (really hard to lead with that) then glow for a few minutes, still flying, and run away without ever touching the ground.

I had a dragon fly in circles over Dawnstar and not do anything for a while. Eventually I just climbed up on the nearby hill and it landed there and fought.

Question that's probably been answered at least a dozen times already: If I get this on Steam, will I still be able to mod it like Morrowind/Oblivion?

There's no other way to get it.

Also the modding tools aren't out till january, so only texture replacers and ui mods till then.

This, so much. More than half my dragons just fly around scaring people then leave.

I see nothing wrong with a dragon circling the area and then going "Oh crap, its that dragonborn that has killed 13 other dragons. I'm out."

I don't see the problem. raising your non-combat skills is probably the easiest way to become combat effective. If you do nothing but smithing and work up to making daedric armor/weapons at level 8-10 or so, you will godcrush everything.
Yes but everybody levels up with you. While you raise your sneak, illusion, speech, lockpick skills people and creatures will get actually better in combat and perks aren't everything.

I can't remember if this has been posted here yet

But there is great truth within. Luckily the craft skills can cross over into combat ability, but not all skills transition as well.

Except that I've killed a total of three. And I haven't killed any for close to two weeks ingame. And the buggers don't notice me, even with a steady stream of arrows flying past their faces.

So I'm definitely finding the civil war subplot more interesting than the dragon thing. Dragons are badass and all, but that siege was the best battle this game has had so far.

I was torn as to which side to join... until I learned that the Stormcloacas were going to wreck Whiterun and my favorite tree.  >:(

The tree was left relatively unscathed, though the fence took a beating.

Yeah, damn stormcloaks and their aggressiveness. Seriously, Whiterun wanted to be neutral, can you not understand the concept of neutral?

Also, another thing to remember: If Skyrim leaves the Empire, imagine how happy the Dominion will be: Your enemy is only half of himself, so now things are much easier!

In my opinion, the Stormcloaks should be fighting the Dominion, not the Empire. The Empire are their brothers, the Dominion are the bastards that they both hate with a passion.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.
