1.8 UpdateSolstheim DLC discussion Thread - #32

Post » Sun Nov 04, 2012 2:16 am

The next DLC will be called Dragonborn and it will be set on the island of http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Solstheim.
The main locations you will be able to visit are http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:Raven_Rock, Miraak Temple, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:Castle_Karstaag and a Telvanni tower (N.B.: Not the Telvanni Tower seen in Morrowind in Vivec, but http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Tel_Uvirith).
There will be some new armor types, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Bonemold, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Chitin, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Nordic and http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:Raw_Stalhrim each having heavy and light classifications.
Out of these new materials, you will be able to craft new types items out of two of them, namely Stalhrim and Nordic.
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Spears will be added along with an array of new creatures/automotons, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Riekling#Riekling, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Scrib#Scrib, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Netch#Netch, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Boar#Boar, Benthic Lurker, Ballista Centurion, and something with an internal name of HMDaedra, quite possibly referring to http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Hermaeus_Mora since it lists his plane of oblivion, Apocrypha. You will also be able to ride dragons and be in combat while mounted on one.

http://i.imgur.com/gF1hJ.png is what the quest header for Dragonborn Quests will look like, and http://i.imgur.com/AJu91.png is what the compass markers look like for the new locations.
From the top, clockwise: Telvanni Tower, To Solstheim, Raven Rock, Castle Karstaag, Standing Stones, To Skyrim, Miraak Temple.

There will be at least two new tracked stats: Dragonborn Quests Completed, and Stalhrim Items Crafted

You will travel to Solstheim via a boat, much like you did in Bloodmoon, although this time, it looks like you may at least get a partial visual boat ride.
The Telvanni tower has float up and down animations, so no levitation it seems.
Dragon riding will take place in its own world space

Mounted combat looks like it's getting an improvement with the ability to cast spells while mounted, tihs isn't necessarily a Dragonborn only thing though!

It appears that Update 1.8 readies Skyrim for PS3 DLC.

Misinformation:
Weapon degrading -- There's nothing to indicate this is added, that isn't to say it can't/won't be added however. There was just no "new" information in this update. The degradation stuff seen previously has all been renemants from previous CK games (Fallout)
H2H stuff, That was my diff program messing up, sorry :smile:
Release dates -- No one but Bethesda knows!
http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1420204-18-betasolstheim-dlc-discussion-thread-28/page__view__findpost__p__21726754 (unless someone can back this up?)

Other stuff that I can't put my finger on or give intelligent guesses about because of lack of information
Miraak death animation, Chieftain animations, Chisel animations (perhaps new crafting station for the new armor.. doubt it though), Storn Death Reaction animation & Storn Suit Stages, Frea, Pray, StonePickUp, KillMoveDLC02RipHeartOut, TreeAmbush
There also seem to be a lot more animation files for running with weapons. No idea why.
Dwarven Ballista -- Possibly a new trap? http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Dwemer_Ballista#Dwemer_Ballista

All of the above is speculation over new strings found in the files from the 1.8 update, and should not be treated as facts or as any proof that any of it will even make it into the game! (but you all already knew that, didn't you!... Didn't you?) They were found by comparing 1.7.7.0 files with those in 1.8.145.0. The update to the Beta (i.e. 1.8.151.0) gave no new information, this is also the same as the release version 1.8.

You want proof, look at http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1417392-18-beta-update-solsthiem-dlc-hints-thread-9/page__view__findpost__p__21660925 http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1417392-18-beta-update-solsthiem-dlc-hints-thread-9/page__view__findpost__p__21660876 http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1417175-18-beta-update-solsthiem-dlc-hints/page__view__findpost__p__21656816 http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1417057-time-for-some-spoilers-form-the-latest-beta/page__view__findpost__p__21653361

"We should have acted. It's already here. He told of their return. It's announcement was merely delayed. Until the time after a Sandy hit. And The forum goers would speculate rampantly. But no one wanted to believe. Believe that it even existed. But when the reveal finally dawned. It dawned with a picture. But, there was one who was right. His name was Dmel25...

If lorkhan is involved then we are gonna have some dwemer involvement, because he is suspected to be the reason behind the disappearance of the dwemer.
Would you guys be upset about discovering the reason behind the disappearance of the dwarves in this game?

I can't wait to explore the whole island and revel in the past glory of my god killing dunmer. I hope the skaal are still as badass as ever; and I wonder if we will get to explore the tombs of the snow prince? I also can't wait to chisel me some stalhrim and craft some badass armor. I am greatly anticipating the return of the legendary telvanni towers and some of the very alien looking morrowind armors. This DLC is shaping up to be a nostalgia blaster for sure.

It's far more complex than that. There are many theories, one of which I can't name though I think is right, but I believe it is safe to say the Dwemer made themselves disappear.

On the topic of werebears. If they don't happen this dlc, I don't see them happening at all.

I wouldn't count on werebears, given Dawnguard's lukewarm reception. If it was going to happen, it would have been in Dawnguard. Sorry to all you ursinethrope (?) wannabes out there.

What I really want is for spears to be added to the whole world, not just Solstheim.

...you're seriously saying this AFTER they release that teaser image?

If you haven't looked at it... look at it again and picture a Dragon Priest mask in your mind.

At first glance the new image looked familiar but i couldn't place it. Checked it out a few hours later and it hit me. It reminded me of a falmer helmet. Then i found this in the falmer wiki page - Eventually the Falmer had been driven back to the island of Solstheim where one final battle was to be recorded. Known as the Battle of the Moeresing, the fighting culminated in the death of one of the most fearsome Snow-Elf warriors, "The Snow Prince," -

*Facehoof* I meant an update to the Dragon Priests in general, not a NEW Dragon Priest Boss.

While my mind went to Falmer too (purely based on just the drooping cheek guards) - I have to say it clearly is more Dragon Priest than Falmer.

First off - Falmer is made from Chorus Chitin. What this guy is wearing clearly isn't Chitin.

Now, perhaps a relic from the Snow Elven day (pre corrupted Falmer) is possible. I mean, even the Irkingthan outfit has illusions to the modern-day Falmer outfits.

But the Dragon Priest elements are much more noticeable. First and foremost the eye sockets are VERY similar to a Dragon Priest mask. Secondly, if you look at the arms - those look a lot more like dragon scales than anything else.

It's a nice suggestion, but I do believe this is more Dragon Priest than Snow Elven. :happy:

...erm... i'm still not sure what you mean. New models for the existing ones? New storyline? What kind of an "update" are you talking about?

What I was suggesting is that the new Dragon Priest boss image would suggest a much more expanded storyline on the Dragon Priests... and probably also means a lot more other dragon priests than just the one from this CG image I would imagine. :P

I should mention that it might not be a Dragon Priest in the picture.

Story, New Higher Level Dragon Priests (A High level Dragon Priest with master of all magics?), etc.

I second that. There wasn't much variety in body composition in Skyrim or any TES game for that matter.

We already know why they disappeared.

On the topic of werebears. If they don't happen this dlc, I don't see them happening at all.

This DLC seems to have alot of new content in it and there are more DLCs to come so I wouldn't rule the addition of werebears out just yet.

the image kinda looks like a dragon priest that threw his lot in with hermaeus mora
from the patch code, looks like mora and his relam are important
and the branches at the top and bottom of the helm look tentacle'ish and lovecraftian to me as if its a dragon priest suit remastered in mora-daedric style

Does anyone think they will ever get to enhancing water graphics. Lakes are still water, river flows, maybe beach waves. Would be awesome if their were giant waves at the beaches that stumble the player. I just want them to enhance some poorly designed features of skyrim. The water looked rushed.

Wasn't water enhancement in the Game Jam?
