Gamers often wonder how to fly in Skyrim. In fact, such a large-scale game, a lot of dragons. I would like to rise under the clouds and see the beauty of Tamriel from the height of a bird's (and not only) flight. There are several ways, each of which will be discussed in the article.
About the game
Inveterate gamers, who began their acquaintance with the universe of the Ancient Scrolls from projects such as Morrowind or Daggerfall, remember the spell that allowed them to fly in the air. It was used to search for secrets and caches under the ceiling. Significant distances were overcome in the same way, abysses “jumped over”, and opponents were misled. Through levitation it was possible to look into the house of Telvanni. The Oblivion project is already deprived of this useful ability.
DLC Dragonborn
The ability to fly dragon wings in Skyrim is back with Dragonborn. But this is not a flight in the literal sense, rather a sightseeing tour. A huge creature does not give freedom of action: it flies almost in a straight line and attacks targets in sight.
To saddle the dragon, you need to learn the cry of "Subjugation of Will", each of which is an element of the quest chain on the island of Solstheim:
- GOL. The first word of the cry used by the dovakin to remove the curse from the sacred stones in order to free the locals from the influence of Mirac.
- Hah. After using this part of tu'um, all living sentient beings will obey the main character.
- DOV. The final grain for screaming, able to subdue the mind of the dragon, saddle him and fly.
In Skyrim (as soon as this tu'um appeared), it became possible to otherwise beat the quest chains. For example, the dragon Oding after applying the GOL HAH DOV will immediately obey.
Flight Mod
Through modification, the ability to levitate was returned to the game. The Flight volume is purchased from a merchant. After application, Dovakin literally hangs in the air. The following keys are used for control:
- W - forward;
- S - back;
- A - to the left;
- D - to the right;
- Spacebar - Up;
- Ctrl - down;
- Shift - speed reduction;
- Alt - increase speed.
The downside is that this is not a full-fledged mod for a flying dragon in Skyrim, and the flight mechanism is not fully registered. That is, approaching the ground, the damper risks falling into the texture if he does not cast a spell again to cancel levitation.
Real flight
Without fan ideas, alas, it’s impossible to fly picturesquely. It is required to download the mod on Skyrim and fly. No other way. For example, the modification "Real Flight" adds the ability to grow wings in the game.
First you need to cook the mutagen in the boiler. Before installation, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the controls in order to understand how to fly in the Skyrim with wings behind:
- you need to press "jump + forward" to soar in the air;
- while the dovakin is floating in the air, pressing the “jump” button again activates the flight mode (again with the “forward” key);
- the stealth key helps to adjust the height.
The obvious minus is that if you let go “forward”, the character will simply collapse with a stone on the ground and you will have to forget how to fly in “Skyrim” until the next respawn (or more).
If there is a need to remove the mod, you must first drink the "Treating Mutagen" to remove the wings. And then quit the game and delete the files.
The “Managed Dragon” mod was released, eliminating the flaw with flying and adding creature control buttons to the game. Added the ability to grab the weak victims in the mode of shaving flight, exhale the flame, as well as rotate the creature in the air in a given direction.
Verdict
Summarizing, it should be noted that the ability to fly in the game is not implemented for a rating of 5+. The efforts of the fans do not affect all the scripting aspects of the project, because in some places they lead to bugs in the form of failures in the texture or crash from the game.
The ability to fly a dragon created by developers is very limitedly used due to the lack of interest from such a flight. It is hoped that the Elder Scrolls VI project announced at E3 will not follow the path of general simplification, as was the case with Oblivion, and the developers are realizing a full-format and multi-functional flight capability.
The re-release of Skyrim with such a goal is regarded by many players as a very stupid undertaking. At least for the reason that active fans simply did not wait for any action from Bethesda and realized the possibility of different types of flight on their own. Therefore, one has to be content with what is.
