Overview

Now as many problems with this mod as I have, I've got to admit it remains one of the best Medieval Fantasy and Mythology mods that has ever been created, with a selection of mobs that few mods to this day have been able to rival and probably still the best tameable dragons in modding.

Only in the last year or so have mods like Bosses Rise started to overshadow it in what I can only call "Dragon Quality". The ingame guide and method for unlocking entrys is interesting and immersive and encourages both exploration and interaction with the various gameplay loops in the mod.

This is now where issues start to crop up as they can be found in most aspects of the mod, The largest in my opinion is the graphics as extremely outdated in today's standard, the models and textures are poor in comparison to more modern mod releases. This wouldn't be too bad if not for the fact that the models are hard coded and the community is very limited in what they can do when it comes to resource packs and other such systems.

Another problem is the quality of the core feature of this mod, Dragon. While overall the function well they have always felt extremely difficult to use smoothly, Flight and combat using the dragons always feels like the game is fighting back.

I have a lot of hope for Ice and Fire 2 which is currently in development, having seen some of the early development for this mod it should fix the vast majority of issues the exist in the current versions of Ice and Fire and may once again rise from the ashes to be the top Dragon mod out there.
