Solstheim, The next DLC Options

[SubRosa]

Looks like the next DLC will be named Dragonborn, and is set in Solstheim. The 1.8 patch has things in it such as bonemold, chitin, stahlrim, and nordic armor in it. There are new mapmarkers, and locations such as Raven Rock, Castle Karstagg, and more. Plus there a record for an .esm named Dragonborn. Flying on a dragon also seems in the works.

I am a little surprised they would be taking us back there, given that Solstheim was already in an expansion for Morrowind. But it does sound a lot more interesting than Dawnguard, and a lot more meaty than Hearthfire. It should be a good-sized land-mass for us to explore. That is guaranteed to be fun and give us lots more hours of play. Much like Point Lookout was for FO3, only without the mutant inbred Jeds and having part of our brain carved out and put in a jar.

I am also looking forward to seeing those armors in Skyrim. They are my favorites from Morrowind. Especially the bonemold. Seeing them back in hi-res (at least when the modding community remakes the textures that Bethesda releases! ) will be excellent.

Oh wait, new Daedric realm? Could it be the Harrowing of the Hunting Grounds?!?!?!

Woo hoo! OK, now I'm really excited.

Doubt it, since the new files points to Haemaeus Mora and tentacles and Apocrypha as the new realm.

The Harrowing of the Hunting Grounds would do good in an expansion instead of a simple "dlc,". Werebears would be added, of course, considering they are native to Skyrim and the first time we truly saw them in lore(other than being rumors) was in the official novel, Infernal City, and they were no other than buffed up Nords wielding spears in the Hunting Grounds.

Geographically, it would be a huge woodland with no underbrush, an african-style savannah, a red sun, bloody rivers, and large canyons and tributaries. The Realm itself is beautiful but deadly. In other words, it would be a wild Safari with werecreatures for all eternity.

I don't think we will visit there. But in this Solshteim DLC, we get to visit a Telvanni Tower, and there is a file called H2H which hints Hand To Hand might make a return! Good for monkish type characters. I suppose Divayth Fyr might show up since he likes to travel Oblivion realms and he's a popular character in Morrowind, not to mentioned a Telvanni. I suppose we meet him in the game to deal with Mora and go to Apocrypha.
