Return to Morrowind With New Skyrim: Dragonborn Screenshots

The next Skyrim expansion pits you against the first Dragonborn.

The next expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is less than three weeks away for Xbox 360 owners, and a dozen new screenshots have emerged, revealing a bit more about Dragonborn. Set on Solstheim, an island off the coast of Morrowind, the images show off some of the new locales, characters, and foes, as well as, shockingly enough, dragons.

In addition to having new areas to explore and more shouts to master, Dragonborn pits you against the very first of your kind: the original Dragonborn. When you're not busy saving Solstheim from a terrible fate, you can also tame dragons and complete a number of new quests.

Dragonborn is due out on December 4 for the Xbox 360 (sorry, PC and PS3 gamers).

screenshot #2 - so the first dragonborn was Cthulhu? That's freaky as hell looking.

Well looks like Chitin bonemold armour is going to look just as goofy as it did in Morrowind, which is a good thing.

The more I hear about this expansion the more I want it out, hopefully Bethesda gives a PC release date soon.

The title is a bit misleading, isn't it?, it's not exactly Morrowind, but near Morrowind.

Other than that, the DLC sounds like lots of fun, I'll definitely be checking it out.

EDIT: What I meant is that it's not exactly in the mainland of Morrowind, but at least it's the closest thing we'll ever get from Bethesda by making something that remotely resembles Morrowind with Skyrim's engine.

 

[Irridium]

This just re-enforces the fact that Bethesda needs to re-make Morrowind in Skyrim's engine.

I'm going back to Morrowind?
I'm going back to Solstheim?
I'm going home?

[HEADING=1]I'M GOING BACK TO SOLSTHEIM!!! I'M GOING HOME!!![/HEADING]

And here I thought I was done with Skyrim and that I was set to completely ignore the DLC that came with it, but then I get told I'm going home and that's just too much to ignore.

I've been looking at the screens over and over for like 45 minutes now. So stoked.

Do you mean bonemold [http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/395/395132.jpg]? I don't think there have been any screenshots containing chitin armor yet, though it is known to be in the DLC.

I was surprised to see those big crab shells normally found in Redoran owned areas in Solstheim. Thought those only existed on the main island, especially as it seems it'd be a pain to move.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but is Solstheim not within the Vvardenfell district, therefore in Morrowind?
And besides, it's pretty much the closest thing you can get to Vvardenfell before you get to wake up and smell the ashes.

I guess after Vaardenfell got blown the eff up they decided to relocate.

It has been 200 years since oblivion afterall. Plenty of time to move some crab shells me thinks.

OT: YES, YES, YES! Oh wait why am I getting excited? I made the mistake of getting the ps3 version

But if Bethesda fix the problems they have with the ps3 then OMG WANTWANTWANT!

Er yes my bad, don't know why I always get those confused, although I just went an checked what Chitin armour actually looks like and it's even goofier the bonemold.

Yet for some reason I am super excited to see what it looks like in Skyrim XD

The only thing I want to know is if they added Spears for players.
I really want to see that.

Right now all we know is that the Rieklings get spears.

I'd read some of that, Ald Rhun in ruins (a city I loved) but wow, moving from the desert to the coldest place possible. Also I'm just laughing thinking of them floating the crab shell. I figure the shell had to come from Gnisis and that they're irreplaceable as I haven't seen another gigantic crab outside of mods.

Cross your fingers mate, they said it's "getting closer", whatever that means.

OT: The PS3 issue could turn out to be a blessing. I've moved on and played many new games since finishing up on Skyrim many a months ago and have been thinking about starting a new character. With 2 beefy DLCs, I should have another hundred hours to sink into this game when they are finally brought over.

Conditions being that they fix the lag issues once and for all. Otherwise I'm stalling for the Ultimate Edition on PC (if I finally get my rig up to snuff).

So I made this, because a Skyrim Confessions blog was still locked out for a few more days.

Well, if Fallout 3's passage of time is anything to go by, then 200 years will probably look the same as 2 weeks.

 

[Roxas1359]

Well seems PC and PS3 users get screwed yet again. I knew I was wise to purchase Skyrim for the Xbox but I mean come on Bethesda don't pull another Dawnguard/Hearthfire on them. Anyway I'm interested in this DLC as it finally seems like they are going to be giving us that huge expansion DLC like they promised us. ^.^
Now to only get a new Xbox...

 

[DustyDrB]

Now that's the kind of DLC that interests me. Finally.
Will be getting this as soon as I can.

 

[juyunseen]

Well well well. Looks like we're gonna get some More-owwind

I'm bad at puns
