The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Dragonborn DLC



Is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Dragonborn DLC finally a DLC worth your money?  This being the 3rd DLC for Skyrim that I played, and so far I haven't been impressed.

I must admit, i really got involved with this DLC.  For the first time in a while you go to Morrowind to an island named Soulstheim where you encounter the first Dragonborn named Miraak, a dragon priest.  Miraak has a deal with a daedric prince named Mora to terrorize the word and give him knowledge to put in his library of secrets.  After Miraak and Mora have a falling out, you are asked by Mora to be his new puppet and get revenge on Miraak.

It's a long journey but interesting.  You gave a new Thu'um or dragon shout and learn how to tame then ride dragons.  Other new additions to the DLC include.

New Locations:

  • Castle Karstaag 
  • Raven Rock 
  • Telvanni Tower 
  • Miraak Temple 
  • Standing Stones

New Items:

  • Spears
  • Bonemold armor
  • Chitin armor
  • Nordic armor
  • Stalhrim armor

Overall, it's a good play for those that are fans of the Skyrim game.  It's really the only DLC so far that connects the main story of Skyrim with a new playable mission.  The only disappoint I had with the DLC like most Elder Scrolls games is that the Daedric gods get to toy with you and you can't take revenge or really interact with them aside from taking orders.  Also, the DLC didn't tell you much about the Dragonborn history despite the title.  It's more of a spat btw a daedric prince and dragon priest.  The new addition like riding a dragon make it worth the download for 1600 microsoft points.  Really the only good thing about it was riding dragons, so I give Skyrim Dragonborn DLC an 8/10.  .
