This screen shot is to highlight one of several projects that I am working on at the moment. As you can see, it adds a saddle to the dragon as a mount option. I dont know if dragons are already mounts or not, but from the Bethesda mod week jam video, it is obviously just a matter of time until flying around on dragons is possible. So to prepare, I have been working on creating a saddle and harness that will allow you character to sit on the back of a dragon and ride in style. I dont know about scripting or animations, but since the saddle is parallel to the ground like the horse saddle, your character should be able to sit on it properly. Hopefully a more talented mod author than myself can create a dragon mount and I can supply the seat. That way, you wont just be hanging on for dear life when you soar across Skyrim. I am thinking of having both an imperial and a nord version but that is going to have to wait a little. I think most of you would be happy with anything at all at this point so I will focus on colors, accessories, and extra options later. I have added the daedric armor as a height reference and you can see that this dragon is slightly smaller than an actual dragon size. While working on it, it didnt make sense trying to strap a saddle to the huge vanilla version so, for now at least, you will have to deal with a dragon that is only half the size of the original vanilla version. Also, this way, you can more easily maneuver in cities and towns with your dragon, and any landing platforms that are later created can more easily accomodate you on your custom player house ( remember the akatosh mount from Oblivion?). Of course, I will be working on this over time and things will hopefully change for the better. Dont forget to leave comments and constructive criticism so that I can improve and endorse if you think it is important^^. Thank you for your time and happy modding Nexus!
