WAY up to the Northwest, through huge cave systems. It's in Skyrim.

Well, I said I'd make a thread, here it is. Ask me ANYTHING related to the DLC, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge. From simplest question to spoilers, go ahead. I'll be answering anything and everything as best as I can, and my fellow beta testers can drop on in here and answer some as well, if they see fit. :smile:

Ask away!

1. Are there werebears?

2. What types of crossbow

3. Can you craft dragon bone arrows?

1.No they were a prank that a beta tester decided to pull on you guys. Weren't allowed to add anything to it though so we couldn't debunk this.

2 two but each one get's an upgrade that let's you ignore 50% of armor. Then the bolt's which will have elemental affects. We have steel and Dwarven.

3. Yes.

Is that noticeable/overpowered?
The blunt weapon perk of the same effect sure isn't, iirc.

It's hard to say.. I tend to make my weapons very overpowered.... But I did to a pure playthrough... It seems like it's noticable. But the enemies are very tough. My god the dragons are a pain to kill. I managed to get myself to 300 damage shots and it only takes out chunks of health on the new dragons. and the ones I have been fighting are the second to last of the tougher dragons. I go through 6 bolts. That's 1800 HP! I play on adept! This dlc hits hard.

That sounds absolutely disgusting and kinda annoys me that such a thing would even be released.

When is Bethesda gonna learn that more HP = tedious/frustrating/boring.
Non-scaling HP but scaled damage = fun.

EDIT: Nvm I just looked it up.

It's still tedious, but not as tedious as I thought. Looked it up and we have dragons in the base game with that much HP.
When I first read it I got the impression it was like "they're even MORE tedious! HUZZAH!!!"

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 9:27 am

Girl, and she's in the Ragged Flagon sitting on a bench.

So our character gets those obnoxious new glowing Harkon-style eyes, right?

Did anyone try to change them back to the Sith-like eyes in the Ragged Flagon Plastic Surgeon?

As of the beta, the appearance changing NPC can't "work their magic on undead", so it's unavailable as a Vampire. :banghead:

Also, every race except Khajiit/Argonian get the glowing eyes.
