That they didn't come up with the thought that they might look for some shelter speaks volumes about them - and their way of thinking.
im not sure i understand what you're trying to say. who is "they"? the point of the people who complain about this is that it would be MORE FUN to swoop down on a group of 50 knights and decimate them. thats what games are about right? anyway who is to say they cant have superheroes like siegfried who killed a dragon singlehandedly.
again, i dont mind it too much, the interview just reaffirmed my belief that i should keep the preorder after she said the game runs fine. but i do think it'd be more fun to have dragon ground combat as well.
