Skyrim's one I wish Xenoblade 1 had a more exciting final optional opponent. Kalameet and Midir aren't that bad but it's pretty lame having the strongest thing in the game be a generic dragon. I did look up the one with Dragon in the name of which you speak and the generic knights vs dragon setup was enough to keep me away from a game made by the literal DMC3 guy. --- Still waiting on that third threat <cite>ViewtifulJoe posted [p:967483854] in Why are dr...
