I thought we would get at least something small in the next 3 months. Like the Mehrunes dagger DLC for Oblivion, or possibly knights of the nine.

Yeah, pretty disappointing, isn't it?

We still have to wait one more months for the first piece of solid info that will be released at E3 and then -probably- two more months.

What makes you guys think the first DLC will feature the snow prince? dawn guard sounds like a new faction to me, it doesnt sound like it would have anything to do with the falmer.
Leaked DLC files. Includes Snow Prince, crossbows and new vampire feeding animations.

As has been said, the leaked files have DLC01 in the file name, so unless Dawnguard is DLC00, the Snow Prince files could be part of the first dlc.

I'm inclined to believe however, that there was a either change of plans, or that the idea has been abandoned altogether, and someone simply forgot to delete the files. I don't see how the Snow Prince is supposed to fit in with all the vampire and werewolf stuff I've read about in the dlc threads.

When I saw the picture for Dawnguard, I thought that the glowing eyes meant the Falmer, since the eyes of the Falmer glow quite brightly as well. But while Dovahkiin's eyes are orange/yellow, the eyes of the Falmer are a completely different shade (pale purple with a reddish glow), so it doesn't fit. On the other hand, vampires and werewolfs in Skyrim don't have glowing eyes at all, be it purple or yellow.

STOP IT!

You can be a werewolf in the game; you can also contract Vampirism.


SO: any major content on that stuff in the DLC is a WASTE.


Be happy that Bethesda is going to put out a monster large DLC/expansion that plays off the snow elves/falmer and, probably to some extent, the dwemer.
I fully expect the expansion to be EPIC - beating even the Shimmering isles.

Yeah maybe,Do you remember what Gstaff wrote when he announced kinect for skyrim? There was stuff that most forget about :) Sounded like "a small here you go while you wait for the big dlc stuff" thing


"A full list of Voice Commands will be revealed in the coming weeks, and we’ve got more Skyrim news coming. Bethesda Game Studios has been hard at work on creating the first set of game add-ons that will be exclusive to the Xbox 360. This additional content will add new quests, locations, features, and much more to the world of Skyrim. Stay tuned for more details."

But now when i read it maybe i was wrong,maybe he talked about dawnguard

The thing is, we don't know that they will put out anything of the sort. :shrug:
The Falmer might play a role, but so far, a few leaked files are the only thing pointing in that direction. Those files are not official information, not to mention that it's possible that someone left those files in the patch specifically to leak false information.

If we really get epic Snow Elf/Falmer dlc though, I'll never complain again....or at least not as much.

This. We don't KNOW anything yet. For all we know it could be adding a new house like we saw in Oblivion.

Stop it. Just because YOU don't like it, doesn't mean it's going to FAIL. Okay?

Oblivion: You fight Daedra!
Shivering Isles: You fight more Daedra.
Knights of the Nine: Oh look, you fight more Daedra.

I would just like to clarify a discussion from thread #24: Those are arrows on his back - not crossbow bolts..crossbow quivers were traditionally attached to a belt and worn around the waist.The quiver itself would be at your side resting on your hip.Yes crossbow bolts did indeed have fletching,as they had to travel up to distances of 400 yards so feathers were necessary.Also the average crossbow could only manage 2 bolts per minute =)
I reckon the dragon mount rumour maybe a strong candidate for DLC,as a website I visited yesterday claimed that Todd Howard revealed to them that he would love to include Dragon mounts and the entire province of Morrowind in an expansion pack.AS we all know dragon mounts featured in the Bethesda Jam video on Youtube recently,so I reckon its going to happen.

I think practically every Elder Scrolls game had god specific lesser Daedra in it to some degree which is why I feel a bit let down by the lack of them in Skyrim even if the lore does explain why that is. Saying that though, I got the impression the Falmer had been wiped from Tamriel and not all hiding in caves and ruins before playing Skyrim. :confused:

What I'm really trying to say though is, GIVE US OUR BLUMMIN DAEDRA BACK! :devil:

EDIT: Also don't forget they have been giving us some free stuff with the updates of late also so if they continue with this generous trend, It doesn't rule anything out of being included from the Game Jam mess about even if it doesn't appear in this DLC.

Hello!

I've been away from this turmoil for two days, so what are the new theories found around Dawnguard?

I also have thought to it, and here are my hopes and speculations.

I hope that the DLC will do justice to the Volkihars and let us see them passwalling through the ice of frozen lakes.

In fact, I disliked the flying vampire we saw in the Game Jam. Or rather, I'd hate it if it happens in Eastern Skyrim, for I would find it lore-unfriendly. If Bethesda gives us such a creature, then, please, give it to us in a new landmass, as a new strain of porphyric hemophilia, so that it stays lore-friendly. Maybe flying vampires originate from Roscrea or Olenveld?

I also hope that there'll be wild werewolves and werebears (maybe the Dovahkiin has increased facial hair because he is about to transform into a werebear), but I hope we won't be forced to get some illness or curse to enjoy the new features of the DLC, and that it won't only focus on werecreatures and/or vampires (this is actually one of my fears given the Dovahkiin's glowing eyes).

If werecreatures are of significant importance, I hope that we'll be able to join the Silver hand, and that silvren and mithril weapons will be included again. Besides, I wonder whether the Silver Hand is linked with the Lunar Forge. Since the Companions have their Sky Forge, it would be nicely symmetric that their antagonists have their own forge too. Maybe there could be a Solar Forge, a Dawn Forge and a Dusk Forge too?

Finally, let's speculate a little about the content.

I think I've read some people mentioning Tamriel's meaning : Beauty of Dawn. We have also mentioned the desire of the Thalmor to get back to the Dawn Era, Meridia's Dawnbreaker, and the links between Dawnstar and the Falmers. I don't think Dawnfang could be linked to this DLC, as it's a name arbitrarily chosen by an Orc. However, that Dawn affects this weapon is undeniable.

I am astonished, though, not to have heard more about Azura and Moonshadow. Azura is the Prince of Dusk and Dawn. Would it be possible that the accounted blinding of the visitor of Moonshadow would actually come from a wrong interpretation of a noticeable change in their eyes? Hmm hmm...

One last, very vague hypothesis. There is light in Dovahkiin's eyes. Light is tied to Ayleids' magic. And it's one of my idiosyncratic beliefs that Falmers and Ayleids have interacted. I believe that Ayleids havebought slaves from the Falmers, Men-of-'kreath actually. So, is it possible that this (far-fetched) link could be explored in Dawnguard?

So, what do you think about it? And why do you think our favourite Dovahkiin looks so tired?

Fighting countless Dragons, dealing with inept Blades, Racists Nords and Blood thirsty Imps as well as a Thankless Populace always sending him under ground, I'd be tired too :D

Will there be picked up some ideas suggested by users in the DLC? Such as "shields on back"? ^^

Concerning new content there's hardly something to say. I mean, the picture of a dovahkiin with glowing eyes is quite dull, isn't it. Well, let's see what's being announced at E3. Hope not another pointless picture.

The game is called OBLIVION, of course you fight Daedra from Oblivion. I liked it, the whole game was based around tales from Oblivion, and that's what it promised.

Wow, I would LOVE if they came with a neat little improvement like that. Would look so much better than just grabbing it from your pocket....

As for the DLC, everything except vampires/werewolves and I am pleased. I trust Bethesda, and I don't think they will make a expansion/dlc based on that, because it appeals to a certain crowd - not everyone, which is not good, meaning: less popularity and bad for business.

Looking forward to E3!

Agreed I also would like even though I don't use them shields on the back for npc's and the player always thought it was dumb that people with shields carry them all the time.

Side note I am sooo tired of the vamp/werewolf main quest crap.

A DLC based around dragons would be less popular because some people do not like dragons, but they will still probably buy it. So a DLC based around vampires or werewolves would be just the same, but I doubt we get a DLC with werewolves since we already had Bloodmoon.
