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.

I am only halfway through Dawnguard's quest and I have given up on it. I suppose I will keep it around for the huskies and the upgrades to the vampires though. From what I have read of Dragonborn's main quest, it looks like something I will never do, since you have to be halfway through the main quest of the regular game to start it. Maybe it could be manually started with the console though. To me it will just be a new landmass to explore, and a few new suits of armor. Still, that should be enough to be interesting.

McB: I was worried about Dawnguard wiping out entire populations of towns, but I gotta say that in my crusader's game, the vampire attacks seem to have stopped. At least in the towns and villages he's already been in lots.

Yup, that counts me out, too. I have no interest in fighting dragons, as you know.

Mmmm hmm. I'm looking for some new places to explore...new NPCs to interact with, etc.
