    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    Game » consists of 30 releases. Released Nov 11, 2011

    The fifth installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls franchise is set in the eponymous province of Skyrim, where the ancient threat of dragons, led by the sinister Alduin, is rising again to threaten all mortal races. Only the player, as the prophesied hero the Dovahkiin, can save the world from destruction.

    So is it possible to be the dragons in this video game?

    First time caller, long time... long time.
     
    I just want to be a dragon, want to have fire breath and a skin problem and have treasure. Remember the dragon from The Hobbit? That dude was rocking it. What about that dragon-mentor from Merlin? He was alright, I guess.
     
    And have a little companion friend who goes to the markets and sells the things you done ate off adventurers

    It would be awesome if you were able to. However, I don't think it's gonna happen. Seeing as your "Big" enemies are Dragons .... Unless the only to defeat them is to BECOME A DRAGON AND FIGHT OTHER DRAGONS OH HELL YEAA!!

    You could turn into a vampire in Oblivion; maybe you can turn into a dragon in this one.

    I'm sure I've heard them say that you can't... so maybe?  I'm still hoping for a Woolly Spider Mammoth mount.
     
    I recommend Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga for your dragon fix.  It's a pretty good game too.

    Most probably not, but maybe for the final boss battle. Like at the end of Oblivion. Except you'll be the guy. Trying to be as non-spoilery as I can here, don't think I'm doing well.

    Damn, this thread reminded me of Drakan. A fantastic game if you want to play as a dragon for a while, although it is quite old.

    Probably not though with the game still far away in the future from being released nobody knows for sure. There are other dragon based games like the ones with Spyro that you can be the dragon & knock yourself out with that.

    Yup! I mean it's only a matter of time before someone swaps a horse with a dragon. Hilarity ensues.

    It will likely be only on PC with mods.  It will likely be a modded spell too to transform into a dragon for either a set period or at will via equipping an amulet or ring.  Would be nice if such a possibility to be a dragon for a little bit through an in-game spell or item though.

    @Zafmg: As far as I know, mounts still haven't been confirmed... according to my logic, I doubt we will be turning into dragons if mounts aren't even a done deal yet. Besides, doesn't becoming a dragon change the game mechanic, story, and everything else? Go play Spyro?

    That's unfortunate! 
     
    At least I hope there's some form of Dragon Diplomacy, maybe work as a sleeper agent for the dragons. If you can't beat them, join them! 
     
    It could be sort of like the Dark Brotherhood quests.
     
    Maybe you'll have to start a massacre at a high traffic seaport... and the quest will be called "No Dragon"

    Or a horse with a fire breath and flying mod, more hilarity. A demonic Pegasus if you will, still not as cool as a dragon though.

    Don't count on anything like that.  It's fairly clear that the dragons exist in the game to be killed, what with the whole kill-dragons-to-acquire-new-dragon-shouts gameplay element.

    It probably gonna be a mount, but if the main character turns into a dragon to fight a daedric prince at the end of the game.... someone must really like Godzilla at Berthesda -.-

    I doubt you can be a dragon, I wouldn't be suprised if you could use one as a mount at some point though, if not as said above it will almost definetly get modded in on the PC version.

    Ride a dragon?  Maybe, but "be" a dragon?  Probably not.  There are size, control and hit detection issues, I think.  That's why games tend to stick with humanoid characters in these instances.  Plus, there is the whole "overpowered" problem.
