Cicero has to be one of the best video game charterers ever.

I didn't kill him and now he's a follower!

Happy days, we're best friends forever !

Akarinn · 13-09-2012 5:43pm

Did you come accross him before you did the Dark Brotherhood missions ? when he needs help on the road ?

Nah.

Heard about it on the Skyrim wiki though.

He's dragging the Night Mother's coffin about the place somewhere.

Mazing really the amount of vocabulary they recorded in for Cicero and if you just did the main quest you probably won't even have come across him!

It looks like some details of an upcoming Skyrim DLC have been leaked - and the information is very interesting. It seems like we could be making a return to Solstheim which was featured in Bloodmoon.

Skyrim ‘Dragonborn’ DLC files leaked, dragon mounts, Morrowind area incoming – report

Skyrim: Dragonborn is the next DLC pack from Bethesda, according to players who have accessed the game’s update files. The files point to a Morrowind location, dragon mounts and more.

The best thing about the DB was the ghost of Lucius

Dragon mounts?!?!?!?!?!!! :eek: I can die happy

Richy06 · 17-10-2012 12:26am

Still no word on when the Dawnguard update will be out for PS3 either! I'm at around level 78 and 200 odd hours in. It's beginning to lag, loading wise, again.

Napper Hawkins · 18-10-2012 2:53am

I'm close to 200 hours on my PS3 version and I haven't had any problems with it save for the odd freeze once in a blue moon. Must be just lucky I suppose. Worst thing would be the relatively long loads, but they don't bother me that much.

Notorious · 04-12-2012 11:10am

I thought I'd drag this thread back up since Dragonborn is coming out today. Anyone else planning on downloading it? I can't wait to get back into Skyrim.

Duggy747 · 04-12-2012 11:28am

Out today for Xbox, but us PC folk and the neglected PS3 crowd won't see it until early next year according to Bethesda.

I don't mind, really. Not in a rush to return to Skyrim and have way too many new games to get through including FarCry3.

Still, I'm interested in how good this DLC will be.

Burgo · 04-12-2012 11:30am

Just after finishing Dawnguard, pity Dragonborn isn't out for PC until next year

Whattt??? I got the PC version because the DLC didn't look like it was ever coming to PS3. It was only a tenner on gamefly but still, get the finger out bethesda. Or stop this xbox exclusive nonsense.

Duggy747 · 04-12-2012 12:51pm

Really was a silly idea to go with Xbox exclusive, only resulted in backlash from the PC and PS3 community (thought what's going on with them is a complete clusterfùck) and letting the Xbox users feel like guinea pigs for testing the releases.

Anyways, PC doesn't usually have to wait too long so I imagine sometime in January we'll see it.

A happy guinea pig I shall be though. As long as it aint full of bugs that is.

Well, at least you can give us a heads up if it's any good. I liked Skyrim but it just didn't have the same impact on me like Oblivion did so hopefully this DLC will bring some new fun elements into it.

Mr Freeze · 04-12-2012 2:37pm

Will report back so.

MadYaker · 04-12-2012 9:06pm

No spoilers though!

Mr Freeze · 05-12-2012 11:20am

Played for about 2 hrs last night.

New setting is a nice change, even if it seems to be a complete sh*t hole of a place to be honest.

Encountered one bug with a quest marker disappearing when I got near it. So reloaded my last autosave and ignored that quest. Came back to it later on, and it was still disappearaing, but I knew where I had to go this time, so I went there, and did some killing and the quest then appeared as completed.

Fought a Dragon

(new type again, a serpentine dragon, had a head like an eel)

. Game then crashed absorbing the soul so I turned it off.

Loading times are definitely slower since installing the addon, I would say nearly twice as slow. I thought it had crashed except for the music was playing and the Dark Elf on the screen could still be rotated.

LostCorkGuy · 05-12-2012 1:47pm

Funny Story here

My wifi adapter has been broken on the Xbox for the last 8 months , so basically I've never gotten any updates for Skyrim even though I've put over 200 hours into it and I've never noticed any major bugs , for an elder scrolls game that is

Getting a new one tomorrow , so whats the game going to be like after 10 + patches

Also any chance I might loose my character ? :eek:

Kill cams and mounted combat! Nice little bonuses.

Doubt you'd have a problem with the character to be honest.

LuckyFinigan · 05-12-2012 6:25pm

For those who have played the new DLC, can you explore all of morrowind or is it just the one island to the north?

From what I gathered it's just Solstheim which is separate to Morrowind like in TES:3 you've to use a NPC to get there and to get off the island

Mr Freeze · 06-12-2012 4:47pm

It crashes quite a bit anyways.

Duggy747 · 06-12-2012 5:01pm

Beyond crashing, is it any good or are quests still fairly generic?

Mr Freeze · 06-12-2012 5:15pm

Duggy747 wrote: »

I've played about 4 -5 hours, and I feel like I have barely scratched the surface of the DLC.

I wasn't impressed by the Dawngaurd DLC, this definitely seems more interesting.

I don't feel short changed with this DLC, but I have only played a small bit yet.

chrislad · 06-12-2012 6:11pm

So tempted to get this but I must wait until after exams. I spent a full day I should have been studying immersed in Dawnguard and perfecting my house!

Mr Freeze · 13-12-2012 10:56am

Finished the main quests in Dragonborn and found most of the Black Books and done a good few side quests, and its probably about 6 - 8 hours long, depending on how you play.

But, there seems to be tonnes left to do on the island. There are still side quests available, not just crappy ones appearing under miscellaneous, they are proper quests.

Anyways, there appears to be lots left, and I didn't go near crafting the 3 new material types, or the staff crafting.

There is lots of new unique gear, new shouts, to pick up during the main quest, won't say anything specific, and like magical upgrades for sets of skills (for example, Unrelenting force now has a chance to disintegrate an enemy) that comes from reading the black books, and if you are into smithing, you could make even more powerful stuff possibly.

For me, who has already put in over 150 hrs and has a level 70+ character, it was great.

You must have the main quest complete to start the Dragonborn DLC.

No you don't. I didn't. Granted, I was near the end, I believe I had to just capture Odavawing, but I definitely didn't have the quest finished, and I didn't have the civil war one really started, let alone finished!

Overall, I quite enjoyed it. The story was short, but the extras from the black books, some excellent new shouts (Dragon Aspect rocks!) - it was definitely worth my while. The only disappointment was riding dragons. Kinda pointless and crap unless you want to see Skyrim from above, but it's all but uncontrollable.

Sound, I read in a review you had to. I had mine complete, so just assumed it was true.

Ya, totally forgot about the Dragon Riding, as its totally useless, unless you just want to avoid a fight with a dragon.

Sephiroth_dude · 13-12-2012 2:19pm

any pc release date?

Sierra Oscar · 13-12-2012 9:25pm

Looking forward to being able to pick up Dragonborn, the delay for PC is annoying though.

Sephiroth_dude wrote: »

Fairly certain it is still "early 2013".

Adyx · 13-12-2012 10:18pm

I'm sure Dawnguard's PC release was almost exactly a month later so in and around the 4th of January. According to UESP only the first two DLCs were to be Xbox exclusives apparently, maybe Hearthfire doesn't count.

Zero-Cool · 18-01-2013 6:04pm

Dragonborn, Hearthfire & Dawnguard releasing on PS3 this February and 50% off for the first week.

Downloaded the realistic lighting and Superb-ENB-RL mods, wow it looks like a completely different world.

tok9 · 19-01-2013 6:19pm

Just after getting back into Skyrim after I couldn't play online due to the PSN.

Anyway really getting into it again, finished what I thought was the best quest yet in the college of winterhold.

Now to continue and finish the main quest.

apache · 19-01-2013 7:53pm

I tried oblivion and hated it. Then tried skyrim and loved it. Must try oblivion again. Prob just needed to get into the mojo.

Dyr · 19-01-2013 8:16pm

oblivion is the bog standard vanilla fantasy

chrislad · 19-01-2013 8:28pm

Is there any more DLC planned? I have a few more quests to finish but I've done a good chunk of the game, and have all achievements, and I'd love some more main quests.

hypermuse · 19-01-2013 9:27pm

Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn DLC will be available on PS3 next month.

Dawnguard and Hearthfire are available on PC and xbox afaik. Dragonborn DLC is released for PC next month..

I'll probably get slaughtered for it, but I found Skyrim to be just that too.

"Oh noes, [insert ancient evil] is back! You've got to use your [special birthpower that you only just found out you have] to save the world. You'll encounter elves, witches, giants, trolls and all manner of generic fantasy crap on your journey."

Don't get me wrong, Skyrim as a game is fantastic, but its story could hardly be described as anything other than generic fantasy.

I dont mean in term of the storyline, the story line is always the same, ancient evil, world doomed, only the chosen one can save us. But the environments and general ambience was your bog standard olde medieval fantasy setting that american companies never seem to tire of

Oblivion > Skyrim for me.

And I've never figured out why.

What level should you be around when facing the final main quest?

Im level 27 and mostly melee playing on the toughest difficulty. Found it tough enough just getting to the area and the dragon priest was a pain.

Not looking forward to Alduin without my companion.

Edit: Level 29 actually and i'm at a part where I can't go back but I do have a save from earlier.

Richy06 · 20-01-2013 3:58am

I'd go off and do several other quests and level up a bit if I were you. Mind you, I'm only going back and doing it now after about 250 hours and at level 76!

I was way overpowered when I did it, as a result it was not very difficult for me!

Perhaps level up a bit more then give it a blast but don't get too overpowered (which I think is the biggest flaw in the game, can toeasily dominate everything)
