How? He isn't a dragon.

I know but he has been seen as one. I thought that Peryite is one of the weakest and may fool Dovahkiin to absorb his soul. After that Dovahkiin turns into Peryite who now is stronger than before.

Another Daedric realm would be sweet, but I don't think Beth would do it here for Skyrim, for one Daedra aren't really worshipped here and two deadric realms were something for Oblivion, hence the name. Although I would love it to be so, then again I saw Azura's realm mentioned earlier, and a lot of Dunmer worship her especially the few who fled to Skyrim after the red year

Wasn't that ME3's ending?

It was... until now.

Get ready for the biggest disappointment of 2012.

Glad I honestly don't care about this DLC, nor do I plan on buying it unless it has amazing reviews (from people I trust). :biggrin:

I have to admit though, I find Bethesda's marketing department interesting, hence I keep watching.
First they say "HUUUGE news coming for Skyrim and Rage fans in April," then post a teaser photo for some new game no one's ever heard of, then they say "oh btw we're releasing Kinect support for Skyrim, so english speakers with an Xbox and Kinect (maybe 10% of Skyrim's playerbase?) will be THRILLED!" In retrospect, it's obvious they purposefully lied to Skyrim (and Rage) fans and blew the announcement way out of proportion just to give Dishonored free publicity.
Then they promise a new announcement when people complain April has passed and nothing came. Pete Hines (or whoever Gstaff is) posts on the forums that "we'll have news at like 4am." Later when people wait, they're like "might not be this morning, but later today." Then finally the announcement is made.
It's a picture. They photoshopped Dovahkiin's eyes for us, all by themselves. They also were nice enough to tell us the name of the DLC we've known since December. Obviously the announcement was delayed from this morning to the middle of the day because it's really [censored] hard to type out "More news at E3" and to photoshop Dovahkiin's eyes.
And yes, of course the announcement is more or less that there will be an announcement at E3. They made an announcement that there will be an announcement. Hell, some might be of the opinion that within the last month, Bethesda successfully made an announcement about the coming announcement of a big announcement.

WHY?
Like really? This is what they teach people in marketing classes at universities? I never have been fond of business or really bothered to study it much, but REALLY? Seems more like a sure-fire way to royally piss off your customers and disappoint them entirely, rather than to sell more copies...

I'm really hoping it doesn't take place in a Daedric realm.

Dawn era, at least as far as Nords are concerned (no creation myth, just "what's the oldest story you know?") would possibly involve Ysgramor. If the Snow Prince animation data mining was on the ball, well we already have time travel of the non-interactive variety, there's still the bizarre and remote possibility that the Eye is from the ninth era, and there could be more than one Elder Scroll, more than one time wound.
Just really throwing anything out there, but time travel has to be better than Twilight writ dark ages with spells..

A few more months!!! Not sure the game will hold my interest that long.

This is my first TES game, just over 100 hours in, finished main story and loads of side quests and it's beginning to bore me somewhat.

What else can keep it fun for several more months? Ideas anyone?

Oh no - ME3's ending ruined the entire franchise for many people.
A cryptic DLC announcement from Beth is fine by me... even though I wanted for just a smidgeon more.

OH MAN what if at E3, Todd comes out and he like waves and smiles and the people cheer and [censored]...

And then he announces that the April announcement was an announcement for an announcement of an E3 announcement about an announcement coming in August?

AND THEN HE DROPS THE MIC AND WALKS AWAY.

[censored], gets me excited just thinking about it....

I hate this! First we have a game that hardly works for us on the ps3. Then we have Xbox getting voice command for the kinect, we have mics also. Even after all that now we have to wait till god knows when to play the new dlc. Xbox this summer, ps3 and pc more like this fall. F um.

» Thu May 03, 2012 2:12 pm

So Vampires are the main focus of the DLC?

Or is Dovahkiin preparing to fire laser beams from his eyes?

You'll gain the ability to use the ancient dragon power of the Miin! Your looks can kill!

You left out the bit where the 360 exclusivity window is shattered open for PC users within a week.

If he gets his eyes to glow like that, then he would get away with it, too.

I honestly wouldn't be supprised. What happened to the days when they would show a trailer that looked amazing and made you want to buy it?

... We dont know anything about the expansion :/ So calling it a big dissapointed is just... meh..

It's Bethesda we don't need to know anything to know it's a disappointment.

» Thu May 03, 2012 6:32 am

Well guard can mean many things.. It could mean RedGuards or protector.. If it means RedGuard there is a chance of going to Hamerfell.. But the word "Dawn" could mean many things aswell.. I dont think its Mythic Dawn because why would you ever protect them.. Dawn could also refer to Dawnstar.. and In Dawnstar there is a mythic Dawn Museum..

I remember those times. It was last September: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KICszQNDUOA

A lot has changed from then until now...

I do love their games but don't like the direction they're heading nowadays.
