Hey Skyrim community!

As we all may have seen or know who you are, Skyrim brought in a lot of new fans. When Dragonborn was announced (finally) there was a lot of excitement for some fans for returning to Solstheim but there were a good amount that never played the http://gameswalls.com/wallpapers/e/elder-scrolls-3-bloodmoon/elder-scrolls-3-bloodmoon-5.jpg expansion, so Solstheim was new for them.

I mentioned in the old Dragonborn forum that I would do a sort of "tour" of Solstheim for the Morrowind virgins (Well, Bloodmoon to be specific) and the responses I got were positive and quite a few posts from new fans were saying that this would be great for those who haven't set foot on Solstheim before!

Well, before I give it to the Nerevarine, I just wanna say a few things: Bloodmoon was huge. It was almost like the Shivering Isles of Morrowind, with lots of content and new stuff. Even Werewolf players got a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUW9mYIdyt4&list=PL9CB69467EEC1EE90 for anytime they transform! I will definitely stray from showing or telling anything about the MQ of Bloodmoon and Dragonborn. Obviously, other minor spoilers I won't show except a couple which are too awesome to not show to the fresh new players but I won't directly tell what it is.... Also, I didn't document everything from Bloodmoon not only because of spoilers, but because I haven't done everything! So, you may notice I am purposely missing stuff solely because I have already done it and cannot turn back or I haven't found it yet on my character. Of course, you can check with me if I did miss something and to see if I left it out on purpose or not. If it is spoilerific, put it in spoiler tags! And if other fans want to add anything for the tourists, feel free to add stuff as well! Again, make sure to spoiler tag spoilers! I cannot stress that enough!

Well, that does it for me. Hopefully I covered most of the disclaimer's and a little background info. Welcome to the tour, new fans! The Nerevarine will be with you shortly, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZIpg4-wF4g, shall we?

Ah, you are all back! I am sure Stick treated you well. He what? He did that? He also let you rest? Good. Who now? What happened? Who's Ratwar?

Well, I am sure you have a lot of questions but hopefully he didn't spoil stuff for you. Well, have any questions you can ask but I first want to assure other posters to post any spoilery answers/posts in spoiler tags!

Well, then. That should do it. I apologize if something went worng or if something didn't seem right.

Thank you for taking a tour of Bloodmoon! Hopefully, you would want to play Morrowind now, do ya? :tongue:

My phone internet is slow so images take a while but photobucket seems to not be loading at all on my phone.

It is his time traveling sound effect :P

During the E3 2011 Ubisoft presser, he kept going on about the past and anytime he did, he went something like "Lets go back to those days! Doodleedoledlleedodoleledoleldledle."

Nice story, Tiggles. Makes me want to play Morrowind again, I reinstalled it a while ago but haven't gotten around to visiting Solshteim yet. It was a great place (hated the spriggans though. They were tough when I first met them.) I really need to replay Bloodmoon before starting Dragonborn.

Thanks!

And you should replay Bloodmoon, it is a good setup for Dragonborn IMHO :D

Thanks for posting the tour! I have been waiting since Dragonborn was announced for this, and I must say it did not disappoint. Seeing how Solstheim used to look really makes me wish I could play Morrowind and Bloodmoon. Honestly, it will probably be the first thing I do once I raise enough money to buy a decent PC.

Thank you :icecream:

Any PC these days will run vanilla Morrowind just fine (Not sure about MGE, which is what I use). Heck, any low end office PC will run it :P

I probably could run Morrowind, but I am waiting until I can get a PC that can also run Oblivion and Skyrim. Hopefully it will only take a couple more months.

I'm using (briefly before my laptop overheats) Trueflame, Cuirass of the Saviours Hide, Glass armour, the royal signet ring, wraithguard.. and some other amulet and ring that I forget. And the werewolves are wrecking me :(

You know how in the OP, I mentioned things I left out not only for spoilers but because I haven't gotten to it yet or don't know about it? Well,
