the dragon in western aproach resets to neutral when allmost dead

Yesterday i had this very weird thing happening when fighting the dragon in the western approach.

She just had a sliver of her life left, and then went sort of neutral, so it wasnt possible to attack or target her anymore.

She just stood there Grunting, and whatever i did, i could not attack her.

Restarted the fight from the save i made before , and the second time no problems.

I have never experienced this before with any dragon.

Anybody else had this?

i'l attach a screenshot i made to this post tonight.

i play without any mods.

    I haven't had it happen on a dragon but, I have on other enemies. Usually it's just a one time lag glitch. That can happen when another background process or application does something that demands a bit more resources form your computer than the game likes to have otherwise occupied.

    Enemies that do that used to be called "Lag monsters." Happened a lot back when we had dial up internet service and played online games. Still happens now and then and, can happen in ANY game, on or offline.

    If it only happens now and then (less than once per play through,) it's nothing to worry about. If it's happening more often, you may want to shut down some background processes or aplications to minimize or prevent it form happening.

    Just an additional info, because it can happens during any fight, sometimes a fight that is necessary to progress into the story so if the mob remains passive reloading a save usually solves the problem.
