If you're with the Dark Brotherhood, have those two words: Morag Tong.

Let's hope your knowledge of TES lore is good enough on this one.

is dragon riding good?

Not particularly. Offers a nice view.

New Spells?What are the bests?

Yeah there are a handful of new ones. Summon Ash Spawn and Ash Shell are my favourite new ones. There are a couple new destruction spells associated with a unique ring.

New armour?Which are the bests?Is any better than daedric/Dragon?

Yes, Nordic Carved, Stahlrim and Bonemold are my favourite. Stahlrim is better than Daedric, I think. Not sure, but it's close.

New weapons?Which are the bests?Is any better than daedric/Dragon?

Not sure. Stahlrim is very good, Carved Nordic is good. Many new weapons.

New Shouts?

Yes, 4 new ones.

New Bosses?

Absolutely yes. Karstaag, Ebony Warrior, Miraak.

New Houses?

Yes

New factions?

Not really, but kind of. Telvanni

If your lore oriented, your going to have a fantastic time. So many references to Bloodmoon and Morrowind. There's new armors, shouts, spells, bosses, and A house. It's really a great dlc, and something I'm highly recommending.

But i hope you dont have a short attention span or you may find it over in a week,

What new factions are you guys talking about? from what I've read there are just side quests. no actual house joining or guilds

You become an honorary member of House Telvanni.

The Morag Tong are in, but their armor svcks. Looks cool. But svcks.

If you're in the Dark Brotherhood, they'll "come to teach you a lesson" after a certain point in one of the Side Quests.

There is an actual Temple to the Reclamations, the three Daedric Princes that the Dunmer revere... complete with shrines that bestow a benefit. Boethia, Mephala, and Azura. (<---- One of my favorite parts.

)

Find Neloth. He's the most wonderful addition to this game yet.

That's all of my spoilers for now.

Make sure u have some Enchants for fire resist ...

Just be prepared for the possibility that the DLC is completely unplayable. It's about half and half right now for those of us on the Xbox.

I had constant lock-ups every few minutes until I eventually had to just delete the damn thing and pretend it doesn't exist. Though I do wish I could get my $20 back, I know that will never happen. So, I just chalk it up as another life lesson learned... don't buy DLC from Bethesda.

Wait for the UDP before getting it. Just saiyan.

*EDIT*

Do we have any pictures of the new stuff? Like the unique scimtars or the Dunmer clothes?

The scimitars don't have a unique look and the clothes are shown in the original screenshots.

The scimitars aren't unique and the clothes are shown in the original screenshots.

So Bloodscythe and Soulrender use the same model?

Yuppers.

Yuppers.

Well, that svcks. Oh well. I'll wait until someone do some re-skins of those blades.

The fight with Miraak is ten times more epic if you're a mage.

I second this

» Mon Feb 04, 2013 9:07 pm

Whirlwind cloak is just amazing, and it seems to stack with Necromage. As soon as an enemy gets within range, I essentially shoot them across the room. Also, you may get some lag after downloading. Clear your cache and turn autosaves off. Also, the lag after reading a black book is normal.

» Mon Feb 04, 2013 6:52 am

How do you turn all autosaves off?

» Mon Feb 04, 2013 9:51 am

Agreed, it is good with a mage but I found it quite easy with mine. Wish Miraak was a bit more powerful and the battle took longer, I play on expert so maybe next time I'II try it on master.

» Mon Feb 04, 2013 9:32 am

How do you turn all autosaves off?

It should be in the options menu. It doesn't say "turn all autosaves off", but it's something like "save upon ___". Turn those off and you should no longer autosave.
