We don't think it would be considered degrading for a Dragon to carry the Dragonborn, after all, the Dragonborn has the same soul. That being said, there should be factors that prevent dragons from becoming glorified horses.

Also, by what logic would a dragon not be able to take one to another overseas location other than Solstheim? We hope they REALLY thought this through.

We really don't like going into 3rd person to ride horses or be a werewolf/vampire lord. It really messes up mounted combat as well as ruining the experience of being the character. We hope the rumored ability to cast spells while mounted includes all spells. (Would muffle work on your horse?  Would invisibility work on you and the dragon you are riding?)
