[Echelon5101]

Good Lord you folks will find absolutely anything to complain about.

All I'm saying is, this story better has some griffons in it.

..can you? It's not even multi player. What's going on?

I'm sorry what do these two things have to do with one another

can you ride on the outside of a jet fighter in Battlefield 4?

and who are you quoting?

yourself?

[llandwynwyn]

Go play Ego Draconis, OP. You can be the Dragon in that game

[leadintea]

Drakenage: Incest, Templars, and Flowers.

 

 

 

It would be a mess. A delightful mess.

Tame a Dragon could easily just be making a Dragon perform an action according to how the main character wills it. Like "Dragon, go attack X" and through force of will, the Dragon obeys.

It does not have to mean Fly a Dragon.

A game's engine doesn't dictate the gameplay features it should have, nor should it.

You are correct that we could make a flying mount, if we wanted to and it fit within the game and experience we were creating.

 

Neither of those things are the case, so we did not.

Not to mention it makes the world you created feel 2x, 3x, 4x etc. smaller.

Do you ride on the top of a jet fighter swinging a sword around or firing a bow?

[DRTJR]

Also planes have fixed wings, thus are easer to animate, Dragons wings flap and thus would look fake if you were close for a long time (IE riding it,) that's why winged characters are not a dime a dozen.

[Heimdall]

I'm not ruling out taming a dragon mount, I just think the dragon in question is going to be a wingless drake.

Saying that flying removes exploration is like saying running removes exploration. It's just another mode of travel, of exploring.

Making the points about extra work, fixed perspective, map holes, texturing, story etc is probably The Win here.

I can't, but Batman probably could.

Using a dragon as a mount should have a story driven purpose (as opposed to being a gameplay mechanic) in a story driven party based RPG. 
 
And I'm sure an alliance could be brokered with a reasonable dragon. They're apex predators, but also at least as intelligent as humans. If humans in an area were to supply it and it's offspring with food (cattle, sheep) I'd imagine that it would defend these humans like one would defend a resource.

Dragon aren't as intelligent as humans. For one thing, they can't speak. The writers previously said that they're akin to dolphins.

That said, dragon cults are essentially what you've speculated. They drink the dragon's blood and tend/protect the nest while the dragon and any drakes don't harm them. Given that dragon cults were once far more common, this might be a sort of supernatural instinct.

Hence will never rediscover Griffons. Then  there would be no excuse for flying mounts.

In any case. Dragon mount suitability road tested by Riordan.
Verdict: Not a satisfactory mount.

THANK YOU !

[ObserverStatus]

I don't get it, why does this surprise any of you? Living things are a lot harder to animate than machines.

[The Night Haunter]

Thank god we don't get a dragon mount. That is one of the most silly things they can do.

 

'Dragons are Apex Predators, the master of everything! But here you can ride on its back while it sits there watching you stab things."

 

Silly.

Nice, I understand now

[Nashimura]
