MsFicwriter Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I've always thought dragons in vidya were awesome beyond belief, especially if you got to interact with them beyond the standard "Die, evil beast!" bloodbath. However, the only RPG I can think of with non-hostile dragons is the original Neverwinter Nights. Do any of you remember any more games along this line?

Alkonium Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Not all of the Dragons in Skyrim are evil, and they are shown to be extremely intelligent. They have a written language, and when they breathe fire, they're speaking in their language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blix Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Final Fantasy and Breath of Fire series, although it is black and white down the middle. Some want to kill you, and others are recruitable as ally/summons or you can turn into one. Also I think some of the later Zelda titles have friendly dragons (Wind Waker comes to mind).

Sabretooth Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I faintly remember seeing a non-hostile dragon in Neverwinter Nights 2 - it could have been the expansion pack Mask of the Betrayer too. But you know what would be really awesome? A Call of Duty-style game set in the modern world, with pegasuses and dragons. THAT I would die to play.

Lynk Former Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and through most of the sequel, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn... they're have the longest lifespan out of any species on the planet and have chosen all to become pacifists and stay neutral in all wars that have occurred for thousands of years. Actually the dragons of Goldoa in PoR + RD have a really interesting story arc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltiades Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Divinity II: Ego Draconis let's you play a dragon, although I don't think the game was that well-received. Haven't played it, so I wouldn't know. Also, Guild Wars had dragons, one of which I remember near the end of the Prophecies storyline wasn't hostile (although you could defeat her as a bonus quest). Oh, and what about Flemeth in Dragon Age? That's all I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Divinity II indeed. I've played the "Dragon Knight Saga" version of the game, which contains an expansion as well as the Ego Draconis story. I thought the game was pretty good and, in terms of gameplay, I always name it as an example of how an action RPG should be done. In terms of story, it uses the "save the world" plot, but I think it has some quite interesting moments in there. Another game that comes to mind is Drakensang, which has little interaction with actual dragons, but (if I remember correctly) only one of them is truly evil. Let's also not forget The Witcher 2. Yes, you fight a dragon, but should you decide to follow a certain path in the story, you will be able to learn a thing or two about that particular dragon, which sheds a completely new light on that part of the plot.

Rogue Nine Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 If we're going with online RPGs too, Glint from Guild Wars helps the players. But if you touch her eggs... all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Baldur's Gate 2 has a good-aligned, silver dragon named Adalon. One of the major quests of the game involves rescuing her eggs from the Drow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taak Farst Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 In the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban PC game, Hermione could transfigure a dragon statue into a little playable one...don't think that counts though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAvatar80 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Another one...though older. Ultima 7: Serpent Isle. There was a semi-non-hostile one in Ultima 7: The Black Gate(the original U7 game), but only in that you DID have to fight him, but it was story driven, so lots of conversation around it. But in SI, there definately was a non-hostile.. You go into his home, he starts talking. You can attack him through the conversation, which led to battle, or talk. He gave you riddles, and if you got them all right, you got some prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
