Information Skyrim DLC Dragonborn Released on PC

[waywardOne]

Dragonborn? Moar like Stillborn, amirite?

 

[UnknownBro]

Funny video... so much PPS (popamole per second) it hurtz my brian.
Beteshda, you need to stop writing ASAP, outsource all this to Obsidian like you did with New Vegas and just keep making engines.

For the love of all that is sacred STOP WRITING!
Let the experts do the jingle-dingle.

 

[Shadenuat]

...so far so good. Better than Dawnguard for sure.

The premise is interesting (you have a city with a secret you can see randomly yourself), the visuals are good, it is your dad's Morrowind - from sujamma bottles to landscape, armor and weapons, locations are not bad (and interesting mix of nordic culture blown away by morrow-....-wind), quests can actually surprise sometimes... and there are giant mushrooms, of course. Also, game recognizes your character's doings - you can note a smith a thief's guild shadowmark if you're from there, ask telvanni mage to share secrets noting you're from Winterhold college, and even more.

I like. Did't check main quest though, so have no idea how that holds up.
Of course if you could't stomach Skyrim, then Skyrim with Morrowind's flavor won't do anything for you.

Hey sea I came up with your review title for you "Dragonborn is an abortion"

Nyaaaah! My ADD is kicking in. Cut to the chase: "Dragonbortion"

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

I couldn't stand Oblivion and thought that Skyrim was pretty meh - all the hiking got really stale after 15 or so hours. Is Morrowind different enough that I will enjoy it? Is there any point in trying?

It's pretty much the same crap, most of the glaring flaws in Oblivion and Skyrim were present in some form in Morrowind, but people love to pretend it was so much better because nostalgic feelings.
Hell, in some ways is actually even worse (NPCs that were even more lifeless and dungeons that were even more dull -if that's even possible- and copy-pasted), beside a better atmosphere and a more exotic setting.

 

[Tzaero]

You know the people who really look forward to this DLC is Loverslab.
Apparently they heard there was tentacle enemies before it came out, they hoped to use bethesda assests in their animations.

 

[Minttunator]

Sea, that was fucking awesome. I hope you can bring yourself to play and review Dragonborn as well.

No he should tell us more about Guild Wars 2

 

[metzger]

Tried this, got bored in about a hour or so. It is more of the same shit. More of the tombs with the draugrs, more of the stupid quests and NPCs. Absolutely nothing interesting.

 

[Scruffy]

I'm mildly considering playing skyrim, but I can't shake the feeling of feedng the monster that I hate.

you don't HAVE to feed it, you know... you know... wink... wink... remove from inventory and stuff... hm?

 

[Larendav]

It's nice to see Morrowind in a new engine, but the gameplay is still the expected dumbed down Skyrim gameplay. I'd say go for the Morrowind HD mod instead.

 

[Metro]

I tried to like Morrowind. It does have a great world and exploration but the TES character/stat system is poorly designed and horribly broken. I've heard the dumbing down of it in Skyrim is actually an improvement/more standardized to ARPG but I haven't played it.

 

[sea]

Okay!

Guild Wars 2 is a fun game that gets boring after about 50 hours/1 month of playing. All the best content and story is at the front end of the game but it runs out of new ideas too fast and doesn't have enough interesting character advancement, loot or other systems to make it worth playing much longer.

 

[Manjuice Nutella]

(DLC syndrome).

You do realize that later on at one point, in a cave in Skyrim there is

Spoiler

an untainted pureblood Snow Elf that was sitting in this cave for centuries doing nothing and a completely untainted Forgotten Vale isolated between Skyrim and High Rock full of deers and sabre cats with glowing furs

right?

This is pretty accurate: Skyrim's "stream-lining" made it more fun gameplay wise (especially combat) and stealth, but it's lore, story, and attention to little details doesn't match up with Morrowind.

Morrowind is a much better RPG while Skyrim is a much better action-adventure/hiking simulator game.

 

[selkin]

Hiking simulator, this is hilarious. I don't pay any attention to the series as well. Firstly I played Morrowind, but it was so bleak I stopped playing it halfway through. The next and probably the last Bethesda game I played was Fallout 3.
Neva-evah again.
New Vegas is an exception, I kinda liked that, it was just the horrible-looking graphic engine I couldn't stand.

So in short it looks like this is not going to be the game I'll get into any time soon

 

[AngryEddy]

So I just beat Dawnguard on my way to Dragonborn and I have to say, it is filled with the worst storyline, and back and forth dialogue I have ever seen in a video game so far. The back and forth with the undead dragon was cringe inducing: [Dragon] "You are a worth opponent Dovakin" [Dovakin] "You are too"


BLEEGGGH, pure juvenile shit at best, and I haven't even touched the fact that the ENTIRE STORY IS ABOUT A CUTE GIRL WITH DADDY ISSUES. Also, mythology wise, how come the vampire hunters are okay with a vampire in their midst? Doesn't she have to drink blood? It's just douchey material left and right.

 

[JarlFrank]

Tits.

TPB feeds no one.

Tits.

What if she was in fact a shemale? Still would have tits.

 

[villain of the story]

Dawnguard is just... well, it's amazing. The narrative is engaging. I can't wait to continue the epic adventure and learn more.

The official conclusion of GameBanshee

This out-of-context quote will haunt you forever.

 

[a cut of domestic sheep prime]

Poor foolish, Codexia.

Bethesda has evolved gaming past such limitations as "story" and "dialog" and will continue to do so whether you want it or not.

In the future, the plot for most of their games & DLC will revolve around poorly animated cut-scenes of Todd Howard swimming in a pool filled with money, and flatulence will replace speech as the primary method of communicating with the characters in the world. 1 fart for yes, 2 farts for no. Like Captain Pike after the skiing accident. I can't wait. It'll be so Next-Next Gen.

 

[Kahlis]

snip

Don't forget about the uncovered windows in a sooper sekrit vampire lair.

 

[sea]

In fairness, sunlight doesn't kill vampires like in D&D, it just weakens them. But it's still pretty derp.

Can someone explain that blood fountain to me by the way? It flows endlessly, but where does the blood come from? Where does it go? You can't drink it to feed your hunger, so it's useless as a vampire feeding tool (and they have cattle for that). They send you off to some cave to find some blood-water fountain as I said, so why is that one special but this infinite, far more convenient one no good?

It's actually a Fountain of Khorne. It's lore appropriate because he doesn't care where the blood comes from, only that it flows for all eternity.
