Yeah that’s correct, with the dragon born dlc you also got a shout called bend will (or similar name) which allowed you to make dragons land for you and ride them, they just sorta fly around in circles and attempt to attack things on the ground if you tell it to. But yeah that’s what I was referring to, I’d actually forgotten abt the captured dragon whenever I play I avoid the main questline the entire time

That’s the dragonborn dlc you’re remembering I believe

I’m about ligjtsaber fights obviously but in swordfighting Id say that having the high ground gives easy access to your opponents head, ontop of that you bring more weight into some of the hits making it harder to block. Source: my family all do reenactments including swordfighting so ive learnt a little bit too.

I’ve not played the second, only the first but it didn’t really have a set story as far as I’m aware, so should be fine
