Dragon Riding Achivement buggy?
Hello! I have been working on finishing off the last few achivements I needed and well I can't get this one to work. I have all the shouts and I have ridden more then a dozen dragons but still no achivement.

Yes I have used the console in the past but I dont think I have used anything that would possibly bug this as I have gained achivements since then. Any Ideas or possible solutions?

I have also restarted the game and what not after any console commands. Is it possible that changing my level twice casued it to bug out? Once to a higher number then a second time back to my original level?

Unlike the 3D Fallout titles released so far, using console commands in Skyrim does not block achievements for that session. In some cases, certain commands will make you skip achievements - eg, ones that complete quests - but simply "using the console" doesn't flip a "turn off achievements" switch.

I'd suggest riding another five dragons, just to be sure. Make certain to kill each dragon after getting off, to make certain the game isn't spawning the "same ones" elsewhere. Most people with this problem reported that they just kept riding dragons and eventually the achievement popped.

If all else fails, this[www.nexusmods.com] may do the job.

You used Bend Will Shout to tame and ride 5 dragons? Info found here http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Dragonborn:Dragonrider#Achievements.

I figured as such since I read that else where about console commands. Ill be sure to keep riding and this time actually killing them. I never thought about it possibly being the same dragon!

Maybe Bomb Bloke has it right, just keep trying. :-(

I rode about 6 more dragons and I managed to get it. By the looks of it Killing them did the trick.
