Because the combat is utter dogshit

Flying enemies have always been and always will be completely fucking gay to fight unless you make something to permanently land them in which case they might as well not exist

Also as anon said the combat in Skyrim is atrocious.

>>387808454
There was a really cool mod that rebalanced how dragons worked in combat and also made them spawn a lot less often.
It didn't fix how shit the combat is but at least made them not a bother

Would have been much better if they were harder to find but stronger. They get their shit pushed in by giants and mammoths. Maybe in the game of the decade edition of skyrim they will re balance it.

Still better than 100% of the boss fights in Morrowind and Oblivion.

>>387808454
I played Skyrim for a few hundred hours and I've never killed a dragon, never played the MQ past Riverwood, never joined the Thieves guild, DB or Companions.

Did those games even have boss fights?

>>387809859
no sex mods either. I just download 100 mods, start the game with alternative start and play bum simulator for a few days and then get bored of it for a few months when I make a clean install and do it all over again.

Dagoth Ur doesn't really count as a boss fight. The only boss fight in oblivion has the controls taken from you and turns into a cut scene.

Conjuration turns the game into auto mode once you unlock the twin summon perk and summon two dremora lords.

>>387808454
That's a wyvern.

>>387810395
it's also ez mode level ups since you can legendary it over and over again, use the 0-mp-cost ability from hermaus mora and spam draemora lords over and over for fast infinite experience

we're living in a post Big Bang Theory world grandpa.

I was about to install and play the Special edition but then I found out there's no script extender for it so the mods are mostly lacking. What are some necessary mods for a melee run on the original version? I have a shitload of magic mods because I like playing a mage but I want to try a big sword dude run.

>>387810668
Fuck off normalfag

>>387810612
then you'll have to deal with cliff racers and an even worse combat system

>>387810930
Honey when girls say you remind them of Sheldon that's not a complement.

>>387811503
>and an even worse combat system
Fuck off you incompetent idiot. Morrowind has a god tier combat system that shits on Skyrim if you actually pay attention to how it works. Just because you can't button mash doesn't mean it's bad.

>>387811503
>what do you mean I can't just press LMB repeatedly until the thing in front of me dies??

>Use dragonrend

>>387808454
Get dragonrend, and theyre not an issue

dragons are the one evidence I need to know that every single skyrim review was bribed, since nobody who fought a dragon in skyrim could think "yes this is a 10/10 game"

>>387812394
It was cool at the time.

>>387812137
but that's exactly what you do if you're playing a properly built melee character. occasionally right click and drink a potion if you need it

there are several areas in the game where they literally can't land, especially in the Reach. it's fucking bullshit having a random dragon encounter in those areas

>>387811156
Requiem is the most fun I've had in Skyrim regardless of build

>>387811825
Morrowind is in my top 10 of favorite games but the combat is not at all good.

It's just mind boggling that the combat still isn't good so many years later, and the only real difference is that they made stats not matter

>>387809883
Well for Morrowind theres a few enemies I can think of that would count, mostly in DLCs though. Like Almalexia, that dude in the Mournhold sewers that blinds you, I guess some points in the Hunt with Hircine in the Bloodmoon DLC. Also theres a part where you go in a cave under a lake in that DLC where you fight someone pretty tough iirc.

Never properly played Oblivion though, its not very fun for me. I just don't think I get it.

>>387808454
Get deadly dragons. You can shoot them down the sky.

>>387812746
The combat is perfect, you're just dumb.

why are they so shit?

>>387808454
That's nothing. The combat in Morrowind was so bad that I played through the entirety of the game with god mode on.

>>387808454
I fucking hate it when the dragon never touches the ground when i want it to

>>387813961
based as fuck

I just don't do the mission that causes them to spawn

>spamming left click on an enemy is good combat
the game isn't difficult, the stats aren't complicated, the only real danger in the game is the greater bonewalker or running into a daedric ruin too early

explain to me how morrowind combat is good? the strengths of morrowind lies in creating unique characters, roleplaying, the lore and world building. do you seriously pretend like you're higher creatures of intellect since you think morrowind combat is anything beyond simple click click click?

>>387814686
I challenge you to go back to 2003 and do something more complicated without the system freezing on you.

>>387815854
we've had sophisticated real time combat since long before that. devil may cry came out in 2001. the limit is mostly dev competence/focus, not the hardware

>>387815854
Come on now, did you think 3D fighters and beat 'em ups just didn't exist in 2003? It's not even that long ago.

>>387813961
I sort of did this. Except I used god mode up until I arrive at quest destination and then I disable it.

I bought the Special Edition version on PS4 and it still has quest breaking bugs that were present on the original release.
