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! biggrin.gif) will be excellent.

That sounds very neat. As I've never played Morrowind, it will be the first time I get to see Solstheim.

Hardcore mode? Hardcore? Mode?

sad.gif I need to get over it. Beth is never going to make my Hardcore Mode. sad.gif What were some of the key features in the Morrowind version? Other than expanded land mass? The two things I've been wanting in Skyrim are...well you already know the first one, and I also want an Arena. HOw about that? Is an Arena a possibility? What do you all think?

EDIT: I just read some of what Solstheim is about. Wow, it looks so delicious. smile.gif

Werebears. Spears. "New" land. Daedric Realm. That is all.

SPEARS!!!!

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed.
I long for scenes where man hath never trod
A place where woman never smiled or wept
There to abide with my Creator, God,
And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept,
Untroubling and untroubled where I lie
The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”

Location Markers.

Map Marker Labels.

Ok, I try it. Everything which follows is of course unconfirmed, and hence hypothetic

Solstheim!! And lots more Nordly goodness, it seems. Im pretty excited about the prospect of Hearthfire and the new DLC for my PS3 characters (if they survive the next patch). Ill be skipping Dawnguard, though. Ive had enough of The Vampire Game on the Xbox.

Arena-wise, I would not really like to see an open air Cyrodiil-style coliseum with teams and shiny uniforms. I would much prefer a gritty, underground network of pit fights and cage matches like you find in some bandit forts. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to fight for honor and glory in Skyrim. I would love to see some more filthy reasons. Throw in some options to cheat (in-game character cheating, not player exploits) and Id be delighted. biggrin.gif

Even though it's titled "Dragonborn", I hope you don't have to play the main quest to go there. I'm tired of all this dragon nonsense. I don't want to be forced to play as a cliche hero just to visit the island where the biggest hunts of all time took place once.

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

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

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.

smile.gif Yea, I agree. And I hope that dragons can also be avoided altogether once we're in Solstheim, the way all my games currently are in Skyrim.

We're getting spears, a chance to return to a previously visited land and see what the passage of time has wrought, as well as a new Daedric Realm to explore? What more could we get?

I might buy it since I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of content provided withing Dawnguard. The only thing I wished they'd done was taken us someplace without so much snow...I guess it was just easier with all of their pre-existing textures. Oh well at least there seems to be tons of new stuff to enjoy.

If it is super similar to Solthseim in MW it will be trippy to go back there with good graphics. I'd like to see Thirsk, the Skaal village, and Fort Frostmoth revisited and revamped but something tells me that the landscape will have changed greatly since our last visit.

Several new details have popped up online today in regards to the upcoming Dragonborn DLC for the multiplatform title, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The latest information takes a look at the expansions achievements, length of the story in addition to a bunch of new contents (characters, equipment, locations and more).



WOOOT! I csn't wait to go to Frostmoon Crag! The Companions can go suck it! These are my new family!

Can't wait til Tuesday. Even though (at the rate I'm going) I probably won't even get to Solstheim until January. I'm trying very hard not to look at spoilers.
