how do you think the DLC will start : V - Skyrim

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 4:48 am

You will hear rumors about something happening at the island of solstheim.

To be honest, as it is a Dragonborn quest, I think it may start at Sky Temple with The Blades.

But what if you didnt kill Parthurnaax? they wont talk to you then. I would be mad if they forced us to kill him and side with the blades.

A dragon and rider will appear to you during one of your travels and will ask you to help their cause on Solstheim, seeing as you're the dragonborn. (It won't start if you're not the dragonborn.)

Courier wearing a Dragonpriest mask, and nothing else.

For some reason we're in prison :biggrin:

» Thu Nov 15, 2012 7:06 pm

I think it will start when a courier comes up to you and asks you to go on a cruise to the wondeful island Solstheim..

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:43 am

After a drunken night of debauchery you awake in your undies on a boat bound for Solstheim xD

This sounds strangely familiar. Why is that? Where are my pants? And why does this giant keep telling me I owe him a goat?

Courier wearing a Dragonpriest mask, and nothing else.

You joke. I can't count the number of times I have had a courier run up to me wearing nothing but boots and a bonnet.

M'aiq: Dragonborn, grab my whiskers!
Me: Um, ok? (grabs whiskers)
M'aiq: Adventuuuure! (flies to Solstheim with player hanging onto his whiskers)

New favorite theory.

XD Why whiskers? Made me laugh.. Why not his tail? And WHY M'AIQ of every skyrim npc! x)

because the whiskers would be easier to rip out than the tail, thus they would make less sense andi picked M'aiq because it seems like the kind of thing he'd do.

I hope its goes like me slaughtering bandits like a G, when out of the sky flies odahving or parthurnax and they tell me they feel great thu'un rising on solsteim, and say I should go check it out. Or get summoned by the greybeards and have them tell me. I don't think the blades would tell me.... I MAAAAAAAAY have fus ro da-ed them [censored]es off sky haven temple. Twice. I was mad, [censored] tried to order me to kill parthy. And acted like she was in charge. I'm the dragonborn, I brought you recruits, I'm the one who kills the dragons. So I'm in charge, and I say parthy lives!

» Thu Nov 15, 2012 7:03 pm

loke dawnguard you will most likely hear guards mention somthing to do with solstheim or the first dragonborn

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 10:20 am

Maybe the jarls or their court mages will bring it up, or Urag/Tolfdir at the college

» Thu Nov 15, 2012 7:06 pm

A dragon named Ahbiilok contacts you. hes in the atlas of dragons

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:05 am

A dragon will land before you and declare that he cares nothing for you, but that there is a threat to both dragon-kind and you that needs to be addressed in Solstheim.

Or cultists of the DB will attack you on site, sent to die only to leave you curious in their existence, leading you to the DB to be killed and 'absorbed' so he can escape

Or the Greybeards will summon you with dire news... "there is a disturbance in the Thu'um." (j/k)

Or a guard/native of Solstheim will send you a message

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 10:05 am

The clouds will seperate, and a flash of light dazzles Mundus, then a Giant Meteorite comes firing out of the sky, and lands directly wherever Nazeem is standing, containing a message saying:
"Here Be the Dragonborn!"
With a giant map pointing where you can find him, and a bobblehead of yourself as a free gift to entice you to go to him.
Not to forget a Mouldy Sweetroll, containing a note in the hole saying:
"Tell that Guard to stop pestering everyone with his childhood nightmares where I stole his god damned Sweetroll! His mothers cooking is discusting! I took a nibble of that thing and it gave me diorhea for a month..."

It doesn't. YOu have to swim all the way to Solsthiem if you want to play it.

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 9:12 am

In a great ball of fantasticness.

Well, far be it from Bethesda to actually let you play your own game, so as soon as you start the DLC a large group of Rieklings attack Riften, killing all your favorite merchants there. You have to run to Whiterun to get your gear from your home, and just inside the gate a bunch of Corpus monsters kill Adrianne and Ulfberth (who for whatever reason decided now was a good time to walk outside). Once you get to your house you hear shouting up the hill and see Werebears eating the outside merchants ... and Sigurd (who even though he obviously has an ax was trying to fist fight the creatures). Leaving town with your gear you go to a new marker on your map that suddenly appeared when you overheard a dying guard say "Hey are these Corpus Creature?". At the new marker is a boat.

That might be about accurate save for the werebears that aren't too likely to show in Dragonborn. Who knows about the werebears, though.

After a drunken night of debauchery you awake in your undies on a boat bound for Solstheim xD

Yep, this sounds like the likely way it would happen if Sanguine's involved somehow with Dragonborn. :rofl:

Probably guard rumors as usual, though it would be awesome to see something different than the norm for this.

» Thu Nov 15, 2012 7:14 pm

On a boat of course!

A NAKED courier will appear and he will give me a letter of invitation from a mysterious individual who refers to himself as the 'first and sole Dragonborn'.

lol, for me:
A fully dressed courier will appear and he will give me a letter of invitation from a mysterious individual who refers to himself as the 'first and sole Dragonborn'.

It depends on the season. Every once in a while, all the couriers decide to get naked, then everything goes back to normal. Who needs seasonal foliage implemented when you already have the people of Skyrim getting a suntan during summer months?
