How to fly to an exact location with dragons? - Hot air balloons flying over picturesque town

I have the Dragonborn dlc and the Bend Will shout. When I use it on dragons, they will land for me and I can ride them. But it seems that the only thing I can do with them is attack other creatures. How do I get the dragon to fly to a location without quick travelling? Or is this impossible?



Best Answer

I fast travel with my newly obtained dragon after using bend-will on him. If I don't feel like battling him alone I go to smaller towns (via fast travel) dismount ( pushing X ). He will then try attacking after a moment but you now have back up.

How do you get dragons to fly somewhere in Skyrim?

Instead of crashing into the ground however, the Dragon will land very close to you, and by interacting with the Dragon (A on the X360), you will automatically climb on, and the Dragon will take to the skies.

Can you control where dragons fly Skyrim?

As @Kevin has pointed out in the comments and the Wiki points out, it's not possible to actually specify a location for the dragon to travel to. In this sense: the dragon is not a mount. You are able to fast travel on the dragon (but you cannot travel between Skyrim and Solstheim) as you would normally.
