Looking for a game me and my 10 year old son can play.

He watched me play Skyrim and thought killing a dragon was so cool. He wanted to play with me. Any suggestions? I've played since UO and most mainstream games up to SWTOR. Things to keep in mind. It's for a kid, fantasy setting, epic feel.

Simple, KingsIsle's Pirate 101. It has a loose pirate theme but is more fantasy. It is also fun for all ages, with child friendly chat systems.
It will require 2X subscriptions to access all areas.
Neverwinter Online? You also get to slay dragons there, and the controls are pretty simple (only a handful of skills to use).
Oh, and other big monsters like giants as well. =P

Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Agree with the details Amjoco wrote about LotRO, but if you want to strictly play by the rules, it's worth mention that LotRO is pegi12
I'm not saying it isn't kid-friendly, actually I know parents who play with them - especially on festivals, because those have more laid-back and fun gameplay (like running around and picking flowers on the Spring one, or standing by the lake and fishing now at the Farmer's Faire)
If you want to fit into pegi limits, PioneerStew is right, Wizard 101 and Pirate 101 are directly designed for playing in a team with your kid, even have a family subscription for supporting the shared gameplay and both are fantasy-themed.

I play on Landroval RP server and I have dealt with nothing but respectful players and you never see vulgar/childish chat.
What about Wizaard101?
A fantasy based child friendly game.
Play My magic Tales
Play Rise of Immortals

It depends on how your kid plays games. If they find an area they like and stay/return there often, then GW2 is great for that as it scales your character to the zone, so you can always progress. If they like the idea of being part of a story and like LotR, then LOTRO is a great game to play.
PioneerStew mentioned Pirate101, which is pretty fun for both kids and adults. You have teams of characters that you manage, decent advancement whether you like grinding or leveling, and some cool storylines/quests. It's free to play but costs some money when you start getting more into it, but if you've been playing a month and still enjoy it, the price is worth it.
If they are more into hack-n-slash then Path of Exile, Torchlight 2 or Diablo 3 might be a good choice.
Let us know what you find!

I play SWTOR with some of my kids.
Also, I have one son who plays WoW and is almost 90, eeeek!! The other 3 seem content not playing it.

How old are you if you have a son that's almost 90????
Hedonismbot: Your latest performance was as delectable as dipping my bottom over and over into a bath of the silkiest oils and creams.
haha nice.

It's not quite dragons and pirates... but you two may like playing ToonTown Rewritten together. It's a fun game that involves playing a Toon and using "Gags" to destroy evil corporate robots :P
Open Beta starts 9/19/14. It is currently in "Semi-Open Beta" which involves a rather short queue system.
Note: This is a non-profit, FREE, remake of Disney's ToonTown Online. Usually around 1,500 "Toons" on in the prime time XD
Enjoy!
Be careful of WIzard 101/ Pirate 101, or anything Kingsisle.
1. They are a greedy, greedy company with incredibly underhanded tactics to suck money out of people. They are much, much worse than EA yet somehow fly under the radar.
2. It is not family friendly, even though they advertise as such. There are barely any kids who play that game and the community is extremely volatile (the worst I have seen in all of my MMORPG experiences). People taunt, swear, call each other names all day long and the language filter does nothing to stop them.
3. Kids do not play these games, even though you would think they do. The majority of the game is played by old adults who started playing these games to enjoy time with their children. However, the children lose interest in this game quick and what you get left with is an entire 'kid game' played by adults who got left behind by their children. The Adults stick around because they are addicted, but the children are long gone.
4. Drama. Tons of it. Really creepy people play these games. People that are bordering on insanity, manipulation and pedophilia. I am not joking. The people in these games are nuts. The worst I have seen in any game.
I second SWTOR. Even though I don't like that game.
Go for Neverwinter.
Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
Guild Wars 2, easily.
It's got a slightly cartoony style without being cartoony.. it's proper fantasy. Seems mostly child friendly. Should appeal to kids and adults alike. It's a great MMO to start someone on.
Rift is a safe bet to try as well if you want the more traditional style MMO... since it's free.
lord of the rings online as a duo on landroval
GW2 very flexible play style, good story line, open world so you guys can just go off and explore together, easy controls. Lord of the Rings would be my second one but it's a little more complex. Rift.
I remember reading somewhere that Skyrim had a multi-player mod. Might want to look into that but I hear it's a pain to setup. Or perhaps look at RPG co-op games.

So Archeage for a 10 year old if you turn off chat, don't join a guild, play it for free so you are limited to what you can do, and play solo. And since he is 10 his motor skills will not be developed to their fullest so he will be annihilated after level 30. Sounds exactly like what the OP was looking for.
hehe, I think your heart is in the right place, but there are possibly slightly better more family oriented games for a father and his son to play.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Well The Elder Scrolls Online is basically Skyrim Online and if the mature theme from Skyrim dosent phase him then you should be good to go. The game has great content and much to do. Ive been having a blast playing it with my relative we just play it little by little and explore its alot of fun and runs well on most rigs.
