Pathfinder? Again? Lession not learned

If you’re going to complain that something isn’t working, it isn’t unreasonable to ask you to explain how and why. I’ve seen this post mutliple times with zero explanations. Dragonriding LITERALLY works almost exactly like regular flying… you just can’t hover. How does that actually affect impaired people?

This has been discussed to death in this thread, including examples. Here was my post from September on it:

It’s not just about the speed though, the way you start and stop is different and poses significant challenges.

When you start dragon riding, you have to angle your dragon slightly downward lest you fall out of the sky rapidly. This requires you to be looking in the direction of where you want to go. Then if you need to gain altitude early, that will add a jarring camera effect each time you gain speed, and then you’ll need to adjust.

On the landing side, you can’t just cancel your movement when you get to your spot per the minimap. Unless you angle your descent perfectly, you’ll have to camera down which can lead to the same problem as when getting pointed to the right direction.

With legacy flight, there is no need to ever watch your character’s movement. You can break it down into three distinct steps to start and two to finish, with no need to ever see the movement from point to point.

This is why I dislike using examples in these kinds of discussions. People focus too much on “solving” that example, even if they don’t really understand the problem and with total disregard for any other scenario that might exist.
