1. With the advent of Dragon's Dogma, Skyrim's dragon battles look weaker in retrospect. Fighting the monsters in Dogma made me feel like I was trully taking on an epic creature. The dragon fights in Skyrim were very enjoyable sure, but they were also fairly cut and dry. They weren't that different from other enemies, save for their ability to fly. Of course, Cliff Racers can also fly...

2. Agreed. I wasn't all that enthralled by Dragon's Dogma's "generic midevil fantasy" setting. It's too dreary and overdone. Same goes for the characters. I still play it however, for the intense and immensely satisfying combat system. Bethesda needs to take advantage of that.
