User blog:Madman97/You know what really grinds my Wabbajacks? Dragon Riding.

Yeah, you all knew this was coming eventually. This is pobably the worst part of the Dragonborn DLC. Sorry, where are my manners?

Hello again, tis I, Mr. Madman97 of the Madness House, come to bring you more rants on Skyrim! Are you ready? Here we go.

So, Dragons. Skyrim is full of them. Remember when they would attack you on your way out the door from the College of Winterhold for no reason and completly out of nowhere? I do, and it annoyed me. Trust me, a rant is coming on that. But anyway, Dragonborn Dlc offers you a chance to tame and RIDE these annoying flying lizards. My first thought on this?

THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME, LIKE, CHUCK NORRIS AWESOME, BUT NOT QUITE THERE YET.

Little known fact, Chuck Norris penned the Elder Scrolls when Stephen King challenged him to a writing contest to see whose book would be more influential.

Chuck Norris jokes aside, I was excited for this. The Dragon Tame shout was useful for a lot of things. Blowing up rocks, (Which I wish you could do with any building, not just those monuments with Miraak, but the game would probably crash from sheer awesomeness), controlling people permanently, (Seriously, at that place where you get this pirates gold, these two Marauders are still standing idle, not attacking me), and finally, taming dragons. When I got to that point where I could control the dragons for the first time, I ran and jumped on that sucker and took off.

....

....

How do I control this thing? Now, at first, I thought since I was in a quest based world with only one direction to go, I thought maybe for this time, it was an automatic ride. But once I defeated Miraak and got sent back to Nirn, I tried again. I found a dragon and tamed him, and got on and took off.

...

...

WTF?! I CAN'T CONTROL THIS THING? DON"T GEt ME STARTED ON ATTACKING. THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS FIRE MAGIC, AND IT'S NOT EXACTLY ACCURATE, AND JUSR...WTF MAN?!?!?!

This is by far the stupidest thing in the dlc. Granted, its cool that you are actually able to ride the dragon, but your more or less along for the ride. When you task it to land, it goes away a million miles from where you actually wanted to land, and it takes forever to kill crap! You would have more luck on foot!

(Sigh) I sppose I shouldn;t get so worked up over this. Is it a stupid addition? Yes. But a bad addition? Of course not! Even though I never use it due to its redundancy, it's still a lot of fun to raise hell onto your enemies, and it's satisfying to know that this dragon is completly under your control for a time. Makes you feel awesome. I suppose it wa a longshot that they would actually have dragon riding in the game anyway. Imagine how much crap would have to load when your flying a lot faster than you can run. the game has less time to load. So, essentially, the dragon just circles the area you are in.

Well, youve heard it here folks. Who else doesn't like the dragon riding. Maybe it's just me, but, I don't think anyone could enjoy not having full control where you are going.
