Pc will be a few weeks later, as Xbox has an exclusive but does it say when the PS3 will be out or just "coming"?

I am just downloading this dlc for xbox, and it took about 5 mins to get to 2 percent, think loads of people are getting it at the same time.

better be worth the money.


does anyone know if they are getting any new weapons/ armours to craft? or is it just like, the falmer and forsword stuff?

no, where is that? i know im being a bit of a noob here with all the questions.

havnt looked for any info about it since about a week after it got announced and there was next to no info on it, and I dont think there will be loads of info on the wiki yet, so was just asking if anyone who has been playing it can answer.

It's a new land, Solstheim is from Morrowind. New scenery, new creatures, including goblins, lots of new things. You travel to it by boat.


Although until it's out on PC I'll just have to do with the Sea of Ghosts mod, a sea travel mod (hire a boat and crew) and travel to new islands north of Skyrim. smile

Have you only done the main quest? Have you looked for further side quests that are around, just like in Skyrim there are places to find and explore.

Mods, my friend....lots and lots of mods!



Actually....come to think of it....I wonder if there is a market for that type of game;


Let's say Bethesda create a world, like Skyrim, with lots of focus on the environment, gameplay, Lore, etc......

BUT....

No 'campaign'.

The 'Campaign' would be in the form of user created content. People could then pick and choose how the 'story' evolves.

Given the nature of the Modding community Bethesda games have created, I think it is quite possible for the playerbase to group together to create 'multidirectional' quests that interlink.


Effectively, Bethesda provide the 'World', and the players create the content.

This would probably free up a lot of time/ expense for Bethesda to concentrate on the game mechanics/ engine more.

Half the mods change the game mechanics anyway, I usually try and add mods that make it more challenging and realistic without resorting to super tough enemies with 10000000 hitpoints

I'm still on it, little bit here and there. It's real searching type quests, no big arrows pointing at the prize.

Yes, I've done all the side quests in the dunmer village, you get a house eventually (no idea if any good for storage though) and most of the ones from the middle/south of the island. Just the Skaal left really...

Useless refering to the wiki at the moment, I know more about DB than the wiki does...

If I could figure out how to put stuff in I would.

As I read online that if you are a low lvl the next dlc is a quite hard,[30 its suposed to be hard] im now lvl 34 and have just met parthanax, and I would never have guessed he was a dragon.

have been doing all the side quests first before doing the main story.

if people have got the dlc on xbox, you can make new armour and weapons, although I dont think they are as good as dragon bone/scale stuff.

Armour quality doesn't matter - everything above hide and iron can be got above the armour cap just from fortify smithing, and I'm currently testing to see whether hide can make it with enchantment bonuses to armour skill. (567 displayed is the target)
