Skyrim - How can you defeat dragons at a low level?

i think you'll be happy to know that many of the so called "innocents" in the dark brotherhood questline are total jerks and i felt no sympathy towards them as i slit their throats with my dagger

now about your dragon problem. i found that at an early level using magic was easiest when facing them.

i had staffs, scrolls, and lots of magicka potions in case i found them ( which i would)

i would blast them with the staffs first using up their charges, then move onto scrolls and finally regular magic.

magic lets you cast at a distance so you can avoid their attacks for the most part

*EDIT*

you have to spend dragon souls on shouts to unlock their power

for 360 users you press the X button on a shout you want to unlock and it should ask if you want to spend a soul on it

for PS3 users i think its the square button

and for pc users.... i have no idea =P

Skyrim Dragon Levels

you should try using some thing like a dwarven mace or war axe instead of a dagger,i think that's part of the problem.as soon as you hear a dragon try using a bow to get him to the ground,then use mace or war axe in one hand and spell in the other and you should be all set.don't count on using healing spells when fighting a dragon,just use potions. think the dark brotherhood is great,but they need to go back to being stealthy like they used to be.none of these people you kill are really,innocent,they are low life scum who deserve what they get.to unlock a shout you have learned bring up the inventory,go to shouts and find one that needs to be unlocked,if your on the xbox 360 press x and it will unlock it as long as you have a dragon soul to spend.you can check out this site for more help and info on the game.hope this helps.http://www.uesp.net/wiki/skyrim:skyrim

Try using the surrounding as cover while you cast magicks on the dragon.

duck and take cover avoiding much damage. and repeat it.

thats how i manage to get through it on Master.

Also use your shouts wise! i dont know how far u are so i wont spoil anything.

but some like ''Mark Of Death'' damage a opponent over time.

very helpfull against dragons!

Dark Brotherhood is Awesome!

if you dont like killing innocent people....then that might be a problem sometimes

other then that it wont effect your Main Quests =P

Ok I've never played Skyrim but I've watched my sister play it and she was bragging when she was about 9 or level 13 Im not sure it was in the lower ranks about how she killed a dragon so I think it is possible to kill them at a low level (I will try when I buy the game this weekend)

Unfortunately to any kind of damage to ground a dragon you need to use a bow, it doesn't take much skill to do significant damage. and then find a large rock or tree in the landscape and use it to protect you from the dragons breath, from there rain arrows until dragon falls out of the sky

i think you should ask the dragon to stop nicely, maybe he probably listen.
