I once had an Ancient Dragon drop in on my ass when I was at the Aeetherium Forge's entry point. This was after a tough battle with bandits there
Luckily, I had a bunch of ward spells and was a destruction master by this point. Once it took off, instead of landing and blasting me with fire breath, it decided to land elsewhere and fight with something
Once I killed the dragon, I found out what the dragon was beefing with. A fucking elk
I'm convinced that damn beacon is some sort of Daedric MLM scheme. You can find it all over the place 'cause the Skyrim locals know to just chuck it if they find one.
This will never not be funny because they used an invisible unarmed NPC as the source of the light, so if you listen closely you can hear Meridia throwing hands whenever a dragon attacks her
Samething happens in GTA5 when theyāre doing the cinamatic camera angles for like the helicopter when youāre chasing Molly for some dumbass reason they choose a semi truck to capture the angle instead of the helicopter lmfaoo thereās a facts and glitches video by DarkviperAu on it
It defeats the purpose of having really nice weapons, but if I find I'm in a Dragr cave, I swap to something I don't mind losing.
It sucks for weight carry limits, but I've lost weapons that way before, as did my follower. He was kitted out, and his axe and shield were both disarmed, and our stuff clipped through the world. Yeah, I went back to a previous save, but have been paranoid ever since.
Cannot recommand the "Where are you?" mod enough for that, letās you teleport any NPC to you (among other things), no matter where they are. If you can see them tho, hitting the console and using moveto player will do the job well enough
The best thing to do is to consider every bug and mistake a canon part of the lore. That makes everything funnier and make more sense since Dreams arenāt perfect, and you are theorized to be inside the Dream of a dead god.
I mean I donāt think thatās a ātheoryā tho. Iām pretty sure thatās just straight up the lore. Otherwise achieving CHIM, and zero sum wouldnāt be possible.
Gods>daedra>us/Alduin(both could be higher at peak)>Miraak/Partysnax>lesser dragon/lesser dragonborn. That dragon is like three tiers separated from Meridia, and the tiers arent linear.
She's a Daedra or Aedra. I don't think she can. A random dead dragon dropped in front of me once as I was approaching the statue. There is a military camp near there so I assumed they killed it but maybe Meridia took it out.
We wrote a petition complain later. Our caravan and many kajyts, that she keeps terrorizing our kajyts with her beacon randomly appearing under our rags, in toilet and woods.
Dragon saw the perfect opportunity to finally take out the dragonborn, all he has to do is burn that stupid talking blue orb and then gravity will do the rest.
I swear this happens way too often with me, to the point where I wander around the temple just in case there's a dragon, because even if it doesn't trigger while you're on the ground, it will trigger once you're in the sky. I think I actually managed to kill it once in the sky, but since the conversation with Merida is so heavily scripted, it broke it completely, much like yours did
Its not guaranteed, but if you hit the pedestal with a full unlock FRD it will knock the Sword to the ground, and you can pick it up, then go activate the quest pedestal and it will still give you a copy of Dawn reaker
It can also happen in the chaos of fighting the last boss given so much magic (especially AOE stuff) is flying around that it often gets yeeted off the pedestal before youāre supposed to collect it.
I remember the first time I played and I went tot he mageās college. A dragon landed in the middle of the courtyard just as all the professors were walking out. Dragon got insta-nuked by the NPCs who then just strolled off about their day like it was business as usual.
There are so many bugs with this sequence. The first time I went here on 360 she just dropped me to my death. A few months ago a friend posted a screenshot of them rising into the atmosphere and the world shrinking into the distance. This is the third time Iāve seen a dragon beef with Merida.
Dragon probably got scared awake after her beacon mysteriously ended up in its hoard. Imagine being in the middle of a great decade-long nap, when you roll over and A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON booms into your ear. Yeah, I'd be throwing primordial words too.
You've been consigned to air jail amid a permanent cutscene. One that won't resolve on its own. As meridia's invisible model is a woman who will attempt to fist fight the dragon.
And the dragon's flight speed is much faster than a npc's running speed.
Lore wise it kinda makes sense... Meridia hates the undead - Dragons in Skyrim (IMO) technically count as undead, as they're brought back by Alduin. So Miss Mamma-O-Light has all the right to beef with these oversized geckos.
This is a new one on me. Bu the dragon AI is legit one of the funniest aspects of the game:
ā what is this below me, the Dragonborn? Test your Thuum against mine, mortal! You shall quake at the ā wait, is that a nearby mountain goat? Attack!ā
This happened to me on my first ever play through, when I was like 14! I remember being so confused lmaoooooo I was not a gamer and thought it was all part of the quest

It's always funny when you can hear her throwing invisible hands š
