There is in fact an ability that allows you to ride dragons. It’s also worth mentioning that, after the initial boat ride to Solstheim, you are able to fast travel to and from Skyrim. And, I’m not sure if this is a Firefly reference, but there is a group of bandits that call themselves Reavers. Rieklings, which are Goblin-like in appearance, swarm the player in a wave of incomprehensible speech and stabbings. And there are new enemies to fight in Dragonborn. The land in Skyrim: Dragonborn does a much better job at encouraging exploration than Dawnguard did including adding a wealth of sidequests that extend the time you’ll be spending in Solstheim. The landscape is not a case of, “Oh it looks nothing like Skyrim!” The areas that remind me of Morrowind are pockets of the map but it was nice to see a silt strider (basically giant bugs that transported the player around The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind) just for nostalgia sake. Skyrim: Dragonborn begins when you enter the familiar city of Whiterun and a group of cultists come up to you and challenge your title of “Dragonborn.” From there, it’s a pretty straightforward jaunt to Solstheim – a land that combines the lands of Skyrim and Morrowind from The Elder Scrolls III – to find out who sent the cultists. The third downloadable pack Skyrim: Dragonborn will set you back $20 but it is the better of the three even with a few misses here and there. Skyrim: Dawnguard veered toward the latter end of the spectrum and Skyrim: Hearthfire was Bethesda’s take on The Sims, which didn’t really expand on much of The Elder Scrolls lore.
Bethesda Game Studios has always added content to their games post-launch with downloadable content that ranges from the very excellent to mediocre. The expansive world and the copious amount of dungeons and side quests continue to impress me even to this day. Last year, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim won my, and several other publications’, Game of the Year award. Maroon and Gamer: Skyrim Dragonborn DLC review
