Who is your favorite friendly dragon?

[Elaini]

Paarthurnax, Odahviing, Durnehviir or a random one you tamed?

I could also mention the one who flies you to Miraak but he doesn't live long does he...

[Cabbo]

Durnehviir.

[Elaini]

I haven't tried Durnehviir in a battle yet, but I tried Odahviing when I was attacked by a group of two ancient vampires and their buddies... and he wiped them out almost single handed.

I don't use him in combat, I just like him, he seems nice, for a dragon.

Paarthanax or however it's spelled is a cool dragon, sad how you have to kill him.

[Cabbo]

You don't have to

While I like all of them, but there's just something very endearing about Durnehviir. I will summon him for no other reason than to just watch him enjoy flyring around Skyrim and we chat. I like characters that are very chatty and he and Paarthurnax are very chatty.

Paarthurnax is probably the best friendly dragon in my opinion because he is crucial to the plot of Skyrim. As the master of the Greybeards, Paarthurnax advocates for peace and emphasizes proper usage of the Thu'um. He once fought for Alduin, but has ultimately made a life-changing decision that put him on the side of good rather than evil. Paarthurnax regrets his wrongdoings in the past and has become an ally of individuals who rebelled against their dragon overlords and others who fear dragons. Granted, he doesn't necessarily fight other dragons in the game except for when Alduin assaults the Throat of the World after you read the Dragon Elder Scroll, but he is a strong proponent of peace and that's why he's the best dragon in my opinion.

Durnehviir and Odahviing are also good if you plan on using them, but the issue I find with them is just that. You can only call them out in the overworld so they can only be helpful outside, not in interiors like dungeons. Followers are much better than they are in my opinion because they aren't restricted to just the outside unless they aren't navmeshed for dungeons. Some modded followers are like that and some locations are like that too, but usually they are navmeshed too.

That's quite alright, I don't blame you. I enjoyed playing Spyro games too; I don't play them anymore, but I do have fond memories of the games I did play.

Haha, I actually have just stopped by for a tinvaak with an old dovah. Most of the time when I visit Parthy, especially when I'm finished with the main quest, it is for tinvaak.
