Usually I can focus it on me, and I duck in front of NPCs to soak up its breath attacks.ĭragons are a non-issue to me. If a dragon is seen in the sky, I immediately save and start wailing on it with the most powerful crossbow I got. What I do is fast-travel to the gates, immediately draw my weapon and Wait a small bit. Keep an eye on the Halls of the dead if you are unsure if someone has perished.Īny time you exit a house or change cells, there's a chance for attack. If you are excessively traveling like to the Thieves' guild remember that changing cells during an attack unloads the cell, thus nobody can die assuming all works out. If you are too far away, you have to deal with frustratingly difficult tasks of killing them before they kill NPCs. This insures you are able to save and clean up the vampires without any problems. All Vampire attack start at the gates, regardless. The best way to avoid NPC death is to avoid fast-traveling to City palaces. Because of the way spawning works in Skyrim, dragons and vampire attacks are triggered by player proximity.
