Release date: December 4, 2012
Cost: 1600 Microsoft Points or $20
Platforms: Xbox only on release date. PC available early 2013.
Plot
On the island of Solstheim, off the coast of Morrowind, the adventure continues. The first Dragonborn seeks to resurrect himself and Bethesda has given some insight to that character with descriptions expressing he ‘devoured’ dragons. You’ll face off against the first Dragonborn in an effort to become synonymous with the title you bear. The official trailer shows a good deal of battle and combat scenarios which indicates a full action loaded DLC.
Skills / Gear
There is plenty of new bounty to be had in the Dragonborn DLC. Beyond the exploration of new towns like Raven Rock and characters such as Dark Elven settlers, there are other things that add to your character’s power.
Shouts
Bethesda has indicated new shouts with one such shout named Dragon Aspect which allows a character to harness the power of a dragon. As to what other shouts might be available, we’ll have to wait and see.
Skills
The Daedra play what looks like a significant roll in Dragonborn. Such interaction will yield new powers and skill tree options to let players expand their character’s abilities.
Gear
Announced are new armor in the form of Bonemold and Chitin as well as new Stalhrim weapons. Expected are an increased amount of random Daedra hearts used in the creation of Daedric armor.
