Predictions: Will Dragons in AoC be Beast-Minded, or Sentient-Minded?

From what we've seen so far, I can't tell. Since at least a couple of them look to be dungeon end-bosses, yours truly is predicting sentient-minded dragons in AoC, though I've always thought beast-minded dragons were cooler (i.e. Game of Thrones). They're typically some of the strongest and most-powerful fantasy beasts; if they have human-plus intelligence, it kind of seems like overkill, to me.

So:

1) Which type of dragons do YOU think we'll be seeing?

and

2) What's your preference, and why?

For AoC specifically i think its best to have them beast-minded, unless one receives humanlike intelligence through lore somehow and adds value into the story, but all of them i wouldn't like.

Since they will be mounts. I would imagine that they are "beast-minded".

If they have human level intelligence than we would have to assume human level relationships are required for them to allow you to mount them when ever you want, and take full command of where they go and what they do.

Not saying that you could not assume they are your slave or best friend. I am just saying that being "Beast-minded" is makes more since to me.

As a DM/ D&D player, I have seen this argument a handful of times, and it always boils down to something along the lines of. A dragon may be your friend for a while, but eventually they are going to have ambitions of their own. You can't own one outside of slavery. That is D&D though. Did not see dragon lore on the Ashes Wiki.

I would imagine they'll be beast-minded, but I'd quite like to see both.

so what you are saying is that the dragon will be rather "dumb" ?

Not sure if anyone remembers this movie: Dragonheart.

I always thought it would be cool to have the dragon of that movie in a game.

sadly, yes, if it is only able to have human intelligence. Maybe, if we are real lucky, the dragon can actually have good AI intelligence, but doubtful.

mostly beast minded, with a few sentient "elder" dragons as bosses or key npcs etc.

If AoC does end up with both, this feels like the way to go.

Even a Tulnar doesn't have human intelligence. MUCH lower! Why would a Tulnar Dragon?

Baw... shows you what a mouse knows! Tulnar are FAR superior to humans in every ways! Go back to scrambling for your human cheese and their silly little traps, we cats will give you real fear once we make it to your petty little hole in the wall..

And we elven exterminators will always clean up the tulnar. Its just the circle of life (excluding the part where we would die, since elves live forever.)

It's our duty to nature.
And she blesses us to do so.

We’ve only seen beast minded dragons so far. I’m inclined to think that’s all we’re gonna see outside of maybe one or two special cases.
