So what is everyone doing to prepare for dragonborn?

My necromage is studying at the College of Winterhold to round out her knowledge of magic and researching how to make fortify destruction potions.

I see that some people are leveling their characters, some people are sitting in their player homes until it comes etc.

So what are you doing with your character(s) in preparation for dragonborn?

I am thinking of which armours and weapons to wear on my arrival to solstheim. What weapons to take and what clothes and armour to take. I am also leveling my archery and sneak.

I'm playing Halo 4.

I'm just playing normally with a Khajiit, if Dragonbourn is released on PC before do most of the quests then I continue with this charactor. If the release takes alittle longer, then I'll start a new charactor.

I've stopped playing my higher level character (46th) and started a fresh one. When I learn more about the nature of the DLC, whether it's meant for high level characters post main quest or is best played by less powerful characters I'll decide which one to play it with.

Little or nothing. Because my characters have already made preparations for building houses and adopting younglings. And once that's over, they'll probably do the Dawnguard thing, the ones I'm not retiring. Dragonborn, if I get it, is third in line.

That's assuming we PS3 users get access to DLC before I die of old age.

Whoever is a archmage of the college of Winterhold, stay at the college in the archmage quarters when you are planning on downloading dragonborn. Download dragonborn and then go to the roof of the college and see if you can see Solstheim. You might need to clear skies. I think it would be cool to see it on top of the college for the first time.

I'm considering remaking my character that uses the wabbajack as his primary weapon. A CHALLENGE LIKE NO OTHER! Either that or make a fourth mage.

Finished the MQ the day before 1.6 came out and have not played since. I want to start a new character when I get back into it. Start with spears at level 1 just to RP a poor character. Graduate to maces, axes and then swords by ... maybe level 10 or so. Just enough to get a taste of the different weapons. By level 20 or so the char will be transformed into the stealthy, sword/dagger wielding rogue that I like to play. My new char will do mostly random quests, as i did not really find the guild quests to be palatable in my first play through. I want to take him through Dawnguard and then Dragonborn.

Maybe by then there will be some improved hairs (non-anime looking), faces, etc. to work with, along with some stealth type clothing - preferrably without huge pauldrons :).

I am doing absolutely nothing. I'm at a great ending/starting point and if I start to play again I'll have a quest log full of stuff that will just distract me from Dragonborn.

Pretty much this- I've got just about all my shouts; except- is there a word wall INSIDE of the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary?

Having slain Alduin, united the guilds under her leadership, become Skyrim nobility, and mastering the Thu'um, Myrta took to locking herself in the tower of her Lakeview Manor so that her wife, steward, housecarl, and two kids can't interrupt her relaxation. When that failed, she took to jumping off her roof in the night, swimming the length of the lake and doing a lap of Skyrim before returning home half-a-year later loaded down with treasures, bandit corpses, decorative plates, and another lifetimes supply of filled soul gems. Myrta dumps it all in the cellar next to her coffin. Everyone plays a game of tag and then she goes off again, because while she loves her family (and invested in carriage to take them to town while she is gone), she will murder them all in their sleep if she more than a few days with them.

The Stormblade was last seen standing on the docks of Windhelm looking north-east, wondering if it would be simpler to don her enchanted helm of waterbreathing and let the tides take her to Solstheim than waiting on the boat.

"Marked for Death" greases any battle. Do not underestimate the power of the Dark Side of the Thu'um.

14th of Sun's Dusk, Windstad Manor, Hjaalmarch, 8:00 pm

Who could have imagined the number of miles , the number of mountains and the number of forests my paws have taken me all the way from Elsweyr ? I, Babus Swain, often look back upon my life as a journey of which I was never able to predict the hazards. I still question myself sometimes as to why I have fallen in love with Skyrim, a cold, bitter and harsh land unapropriate for my kind. Is it because of the life changing friendships I have tied during my adventures ? Is it because of the secrets the ruins and dungeons hide , deep beneath the earth ? Or is it the city hanging over a rocky arc that I can see from my garden as I write those lines ? I could think and think for hours about all this, but what is done is done. My situation is stable in Skyrim, I have a family, I have a guild, I have friends I can consider as my brothers. I will probably stay in this beautifully cruel land for the remnants of my days.
But yesterday, a strange feeling has caught my belly; the same feeling I felt in my homeland shortly before I left it forever. I am still young, agile enough, and I want to enjoy those last years of vigor to continue visiting new countries. I promised my wife and children that I would not leave for too long, that I would stop by home regularly to see my cubs grow into fierce hunters , and my wife grow more beautiful as the seasons pass.
I have heard of an island not far from Skyrim that would be ideal to start off this new adventure : Solstheim. I never had the chance to visit Morrowind since Red Mountain unleashed its fury upon the continent. I would like to learn more about the Dunmer culture that has moved over there and also meet the Skaal, a tribe of Nords that I was told about in a few bard's tales. Since I have no idea of what awaits me, I have prepared a few things to be prepared for any danger that awaits me.
Of course, being head of the Thieves Guild speaks for itself; I am a quiet and clean killer . Tomorrow I will put on my Ancient Falmor Armor; I gained this cuirass during a quest that could be the stuff of taverns' legends, but that's another story.
I have taken Auriel's Bow with me, to be able to shoot at enemies , hidden far and above in a treetop or a bush. If I get detected and trouble comes along, my Dwarven Crossbow is ready to deliver death .
I have also taken a purse with 5000 septims, if ever I need to spend it .
Everything else is safe at home in Windstad Manor .
Now that I am ready, I shall go to bed, because I have to get up early tomorrow. I shall setoff to Solitude and ask for the next embarkment to Solstheim.
I shall hunt to eat; I have to keep my body fit for as long as possible, for I am conscient that one day it will wither and die .
I shall write the next entry to my diary soon .


Off to the wilds! Off to the unknown ! Off to adventure !



Babus Swain, Guildmaster of the Thieves

Basically I would do what I wanted to do with my first character but didn't because Dawnguard didn't appeal to me with the price tag it had. Anyways what I or my character Magnus would do is get a Daedric Armor set, and defeat Alduin. Once I defeat Alduin I put the armor set on a manakin and the dual wield swords I had in a display case and I would never use them again until another threat to Skyrim arose. What I would then do is buy a regular armor set like steel armor and just wander around Skyrim doing side quests and caring for my family, just waiting for a threat to arise. So once word comes of this other dragonborn I will dust off the daedric armor and head to Solstheim.
That's great, I like your style. True RPGer.
