Unlike Dawnguard or Hearthfire, this looks good.
As long as you can largely opt out of the dragon riding, and it doesn't require you to have enabled shouts or random dragon spawns I'll totally get it. Assuming PS3 gets it before PS5 comes out.
All the 30 day xbox exclusivity does is give everyone else 30 extra days to see everything the new DLC has, all its bugs, and it they want it or not. I hope that sweet M$ loot is worth all the impulse buys you won't be getting. If the DLC sucks well everyone will know it weeks before they could even play it if they wanted to, and once they change their mind BEFORE making the purchase then you got nothing.
*sigh* I hope the next Elder Scrolls game, that isn't that MMO, will be the first Bethesda game I've ever played where the player isn't punished for doing the main quest by having all the most tedious, unfun, boring, and generally trollish enemies spawn all over the map.
Oblivion gates with attended npc murdering daedra everywhere after like 3 quests? Check. Enclave troops everywhere, oh and your character permadying unless you buy the DLC? Fuck you and double check. Dragons spawning every 10 minutes that take several minutes to kill, or at least to get them to actually engage you in combat instead of every bunny and NPC in a quarter mile, and so they effectively punish you and inhibit you from fast travel? Check.
Also there is literally no reason to actually do the main quests at all usually. In Oblivion all you get is the closing of the very gates that are opened by doing the main quest, and some crappy armor. In FO3 you'd be better off never leaving the Vault honestly considering how they ended it originally. In Skyrim, you get jack. Dragons still kill people, drauger still kill people, you get absolutely nothing aside from a few shouts. Even if I enjoyed shouts apart from Unrelenting Force (which should be a Destruction or Alteration spell dammit) I would still hate dragons and so Dragonrend and the summon hero shouts would be small reward for doing the questline that populates the world with dragons in the first place.
At least if you are gonna do this cliche mechanic again Bethesda, please go back to NON FLYING enemies. I'm kinda thankful that there are so few randomized encounters because of how poorly implemented the Dragons are.
You frequent some place often enough it begins to develop a peculiar weather phenomenon of raining dragon skeletons.
