You one-shot dragons in Skyrim because of broken mechanics, not because there's no scaling.
(Sigh) This is why debating something with someone who doesn't understand the mechanics being referred to is frustrating.
Level scaling in Skyrim is not implemented in a way where everything matches perfectly to your your level. There are adjustments based on your location (higher elevations, for example, are typically more dangerous than lower). Then there are opponents which cap at certain levels, yet still show up in encounters. Dungeons lock to the level you were when you first entered them. And dragons have *fixed* levels, with certain types of dragons only appearing at certain level ranges. For example, if you're level 26 you are going to be encountering level 20 Blood Dragons. When you reach level 27, you will can start encountering level 30 Frost Dragons.
So, yes, I was easily killing dragons because, in their specific case, scaling was implemented in way of being almost non-existent and completely ineffective.
Make sure you know what you're talking about before you look silly going off on a nonsensical rant like the following...
Skyrim is tightly scaled, it just tapers out a lot quicker than the player's own power. The reason for this is that there's an exponential power curve in Skyrim due to % modifiers, and the game doesn't calc DPS etc very well.
This is due to the way Bethesda design the mechanics; you are largely ignorant of this, and have not played Oblivion, where scaling as a design concept was really pushed hard, which is why the more knowledgeable in the thread keep referencing it.
You spent 3+ pages defending not knowing this. You continue to do so.
You also heavily suggested you knew what was involved with level scaling "under the hood" despite this.

If you're still in the dark: you one-shot dragons :: if they scaled correctly, they'd also one-shot you. DPS <> HP is that broken in Skyrim, especially over level 25 or so.
Oh.. and stop /threading already. That's your third time, isn't it? What are you, 12?
The thread doesn't end because you think it's time to wrap everything up. If you want to leave the discussion, leave the discussion. Between the fact that you hopped into it and immediately started insulting me, and all the nonstop mistakes you're making, it's not like you're adding anything useful to it anyway.
Or stick around. It's up to you. But at least get your fact straight and your manners in check.
