If I were creating a new game, Dragons fire would be a long-range attack, yes. It would be very damaging at short range, but still damage a few tiles away.

However as sadi this would change game-play drastically.

As for realism, if you remove dragons, goodbye drgaon armour, addy armour, mithril, ghosts, vampires, werewolfs, elves, dwarfs.... Until you are left with Varrock, Lumbridge, Draynor and a butch of moaning lords and peasant farmers.

He's right, the majority of RuneScape NPC's (Except Humans) are mythical creatures. Unicorns, Demons, Dragons etc.

unicorns are real. they come from another galaxy inhabited by dinosaurs and discovered space travel millions of years ago and fled from the dinosayurs to earth. then got nuked by potato creatures. dont ever say unicorns are mythical again

on topic now: theyre fine as they are. the ones with big drops have ranmged firebreath anyway... (metal dragons) making the normal dragons have ranged breath would make them useless as theyd be too hard to fight for the drops.

Well, not really TOO hard, since you could range them with an anti shield anyways. If you have a one handed ranged weapon. Or anti fire pots.

But back to what I said, trying to make them realistic is stupid. Dragons are not real, so there's no set standard of what they should look like, just ideas and concepts, the rest is up to the creators.

However, if the creature exists in existing mythology, it is nice to keep to the spec, granted ragons are varied, but they always have a ranged flame attack.

You don't see purple skinned goblins do you? No, same reason...

My two cents...

This is off topic but I think the dragons should be able to fly after its attacker, I mean the dragon was the most feared monster in the middle ages. I mean comeon they didnt just let ppl attack them.

Dragons are a fantasy creature. There were no dragons ever so you cant say they were the most feared monster in the middle ages. They simply didn't exist.
