[The Merchant Of Menace]

Yeah, I've found that the fun of the shouts doesn't really balance the annoyance of being accosted by dragons every 2 steps you take.

You can outrun them with a bit of determination. And they arent really that common.

I don't particularly want to drop whatever I'm doing to run away from a dragon. And it breaks immersion a bit if my wandering alchemist has to defeat a dragon at every town he visits.

I just held off on the initial whiterun quest for the dragon stuff until later in the game. Until you do that, no dragons show up but you can do any quests other than the main quest and the rebellion/war quests as far as I know.

Anyone have tips for fighting dragon priests? When I fought my first one (besides the one at Skuldafn) his attack spam was so powerful I needed to call Odahviing to defeat him.

I paralyzed the one I fought, but I had several para poisons and just peppered him with arrows while lydia kept almost dying.

[nenjin]

Yep. Poisons. Paralyzation will make a bitch out of just about any mob.

Companions to draw fire. Attack when the bastard is distracted. If you have any items that block magic or lessen its damage or anything like that, use them before the priest starts rising from its sarcophagus. Also, try to get some free hits in while the dragon priest is doing its 'I rise from the dead!' impression, it takes a few seconds it seems, and thats enough to get a little hurt in. Most of all, block what you can and strike as much as possible.
If you're an archer, lots of strafing.
If you're a mage, I'm so sorry. But seriously, lightning/fire attacks and strafing.

[WillowLuman]

Ward spells are your friend if you're a mage. Those bitches will block anything magical. If you have dual cast destruction + impact, you can stun-lock him with the concentration spells.

[forsaken1111]

As a mage, I did dual-cast lightning to stagger him and drain him. It worked well enough, but they're tough.

The one I manage to defeat, went over the cliff edge, and I just snipped.

yay for exploiting bad AI and world geometry!

Seriously I've killed more frost trolls just by standing somewhere out of reach..

Are there peaceful Orc fortresses? Because I think I just genocided one of those accidentally.

Aren't they all peaceful?

Unless you fuck with them, yes. They often won't let you in if you're not an orc and don't do something to help them.

[umiman]

I remember the orc settlements being somewhat of a letdown. They were all the same, all the different enclaves.

[Sergius]

IIRC, only one of the settlements is noteworthy. Something about a Daedra.
