It has been confirmed that random dragon fights in Skyrim will not appear as often until your character has build enough experience to battle them. Bruce Nesmith told IGN that “Random dragon attacks won’t happen right away. Hit the jump for full details



“We decide when those random events can happen and how…all of our ‘random’ systems are actually sophisticated decision systems that use randomness as one part of the process…Random dragon attacks won’t happen right away. When they first start, you will have companions with you or be able to use the environment to your advantage, and the dragon will be one of the weaker ones. As the game progresses, you fight tougher dragons and are on your own more often.”
