Skyrim PC Tweak Adds Unlimited Dragons (video)

Posted: 22 Nov 2011 01:57 AM PST

If you have been enjoying playing the new Skyrim game created by Bethesda, but would prefer to have a few more dragons to slay. A new tweak has been discovered on the PC version that allows you to add as many dragons as you like. Or rather as many as your computer can handle.

But before you rush off to activate the dragon tweak, be aware that just like other tweaks of this nature there is a possibility that enabling it will stop your ability to earn achievements. So make sure you have a backup of your game before you play around. Watch the video after the jump to see the tweak in action. Enjoy!
