Skyrim has rekindled my love of dragons :D

Canary5155d ago

The history channel actually had a pretty good documentary on dragons a while back (yeah, CRAZY, I know). There was some interesting stuff there, not the least of which were some accounts of Roman armies encountering dragons on the field of battle (which, as you can guess, was totally the ONLY reason the Romans lost).

Personally, I'm not sure I fully buy into the idea of dragons being ancient interpretations of dinosaurs. It's makes a lot of sense, I know, but I think the "cross-polinization" theory/mystery plays a certain role, too--after all, dragons are not the only creature to exist (in the same role) in nearly every culture on the planet. Like the fact that foxes or similar creatures represent mischievous tricksters everywhere on the planet. ~Everywhere~. And there's no real explanation for why. And that's just one example, mind you. Dragons may be unique in that there's a single, clearly plausible explanation for their existence in human cultures around the planet, but there are many similar cases with no such justification.

But hey, here I am going off on a tangent when all I really want to say was, "I came to N4G, I clicked on an article with a promising premise, and I was not disappointed. I am pleased."

That NEVER happens.

Great, now I have to pull my VCS out again and play with some duck dragons in Adventure. Really interesting read, well done!

That's ridiculous, lol. I'm waiting for the guy that says its too cpu-intensive for the Switch 2. This game is old af and has been released like 17 times.
