Your opinion on Dragonborn DLC?

Post » Tue Nov 26, 2013 1:37 am

Personally I didn't care for it. I love the fact that you get to visit Solstheim and it's a whole new world, but I did not like the story, I did not like the Black book realms (Apocrypha), and I didn't even like how Miraak was designed. There's more to it than that, but I'm lazy. What was your opinion??

Best of the three DLC, IMO.

It was easily my favorite DLC, and it even fixed a lot of the big problems I had with the original game (More dialogue, better puzzles, some better characters, etc).

It was the best dlc out of the 3. The end was a bit underwhelming but at least it's main quest was better then Skyrim's.

It also motivated to go back and finally finish Morrowind. Still haven't gotten around to that though.

Negatives:

Miraak is a potentially interesting antagonist that they never do anything with. The Dragon Cult remains thoroughly unexplored and underdeveloped. Restricting (almost) all the new spells to just one merchant is a bad design move, and the "implementation" of spears and werebears is something that seems purposefully designed to rub lemon juice in my eyes. Being unable to move your family to the house in Raven Rock is also annoying.

Positives:

Most characters are more memorable and likable than not. The environments are beautiful. Apocrypha and Herma-Mora are a delight. Very nice additions in terms of smithing, spells, enchantments, and alchemy. And honestly, I can't think of a quest in the DLC I actually didn't like, even if overall the MQ felt lacking to me.

Edit: So overall, I like Dragonborn, and at $10 (as part of Bethesda's "We're sorry we are so unbelievably bad at programming for the PS3" apology), I think I got my money's worth. I probably wouldn't have if I had paid the full $20 though.

Still, it ranks second in my overall favorite DLCs, behind Hearthfire but ahead of Dawnguard.

Best DLC. Misses the mark slightly with it's main subject (Miraak) but exceeds in the side-story (Dunmer lore).

Enjoyed it thoroughly.

It really annoyed me when I realised that there was even more Draugr fighting, but other than that I really loved it. It was a lot of fun and it was interesting.

I agree. However, the MQ felt kinda short and I really wish they would have expanded on Miraak some.

Neloth 10ever.

The main quest was too short, however, the side quests and added radiant locations on Solstheim were a good addition to the game.

Do any RQ in Skyrim take you to Solstheim?

Yes, occasionally you will get certain Thieves Guild, College of Winterhold, Companions, and possibly some other RQs that have a target location or NPC that is on Solstheim. With a few of the Thieves Guild jobs, you may run into a problem if you are sent to Raven Rock though (e.g. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:The_Bedlam_Job), because they can't be completed due to a bug. In that case you will have to reload a previous save or tell Delvin (or Vex) that you wish to quit that job. There is a fix for this issue, but unfortunately you need to be playing on PC with the Unofficial Patches installed. Overall, I have only run into these bugs a few times, so most RQs on Solstheim work just fine.

Easily my favorite DLC, its only flaw, IMHO, is the main quest length. The island feels so unique compared to Skyrim and there's so many nice places to explore. Plus waterwalking boots!

Either the Bethesda offices love Dunmer or Dunmer are just a naturally more interesting race than others but I thought the Dark Elf lore in Dragonborn as well as that race's NPCs were extremely well done as is Herma's realm while the main quest missed the mark and Miraak was wasted potential. Skaal was limited and meh.

The main quest was definitely rushed no doubt about it, I thought Miraak always represented the "darker" path of the Dragonborn making the Last Dragonborn's future much more interesting to imagine, as for the Skaal....well we all have our issues but i thought it was disappointing that you can't have a house in their village unless you marry Morwen and not to mention not really much you can buy from them except genetic things seen on the mainland

Without a doubt the greatest of the 3 imho.

I might even start to think about naming it their greatest DLC yet - atleast up there with Bloodmoon and Point Lookout.

Shivering Isles is sweet but for me doesn't quite reach the same level as those.

1. Shivering Isles
2. Dragonborn
3. Bloodmoon
4. Point Lookout

that's where i stand on those DLC's it's a shame that Bethesda got cold feet somehow when making this last DLC they could've gone all out but....nope that day has not come yet

It's awesome. Revisiting on Solstheim now when all the new things are going on there and then the awesome questline which starts more naturally and more intensively than any other questline in TES. I like how it fits with the Skyrims Main Quest and the whole story is great. Black Books and Apocrypha were nice surprising feature and I liked them.

Dragonborn for me is one if the best if not the best expansion made for a TES game.

Others I like were Bloodmoon, Shivering Ises and Tribunal.
