So the two most annoying fucking things in the vanilla game (falmer and vampires) + crossbows.

I'll pass.
Lol falmer aren't that hard to kill...

I agree with Vampires though

Just hoping they don't force you to have another seperate kind of ammo for the Crossbow like they did in Morrowind.
I am pretty sure crossbows will use bolts

No one is sure really, but it is possible.

Bethesda has already added some of the game-jam content into the game, but Todd himself said they are not sure how much of it will make it into the game.

Even though the Elder Scrolls has always had vampires, Bethesda are still somehow trying to get in on the already-over vampire trend. What a joke.

:/

I guess we'll just have to wait for the DLC info to come out before we know more.

What the hell you guys?!??!

WHY ARE (most of you from what I see) YOU GETTING SO HAPPY!?!?!?

I just... I don't even....

Every last one of you should replay morrowind. (or just, play it, if you haven't).

There was every weapon you could possibly imagine short of guns and siege equipment of course. Tons of amazing, variety of spells. Personalities in the characters, memories made, choices to make. And they're going to make you pay an extra 10 dollars probably to use a crossbow!? And I hear cheering!?

Besides that, morrowind was the last of the real rpgs in the series... skyrim and oblivion are mostly just hack and slashes with some rpg elements.

hell, they butchered skyrim. Where is our attributes guys????? All they did was add the skill system from fallout, which even that had attributes.
Morrowind sucks. I never really knew what is it that people loved about that game. Horrible game that forces you to grind just to HIT your enemy? It invalidates every other weapon in game unless you manage to grind every single weapon into a level where you can actually HIT the damn enemy. That's bad game design right there.

Also, direction giving by the NPCs are horrible. Need to find that one guy in a quest? He's in vivec's redoran canton. Where in there? Fuck if I know! Hope you like getting lost! Especially when the NPC just says the guy's in Vivec!

Don't forget the tons of cliff racers always coming at you the moment you step 5 feet outside of a town! These guys make early game exploring annoying, I mean fun!

Besides, people are more interested in the Snow Elves/Falmer, and getting to see Skyrim's rendition of Solstheim. Crossbows are just a bonus.

I'm interested in what they'll do with the Falmer. It seemed like there was a lot of plot that wasn't getting resolved. For instance, those human slaves in Blackreach was never elaborated on.

Aaaaaaaaaand this is the info: http://www.bethblog.com/2012/05/01/dawnguard/

One picture and a "summer" release on Xbox. More info's being teased for E3 which is just over a month away.

Main points I can see from this are glow-y eyes, a quiver (bolts maybe?), Dovahkiin looks slightly rougher (beard looks thicker, eyes a bit sunken. Could maybe hinting that he's a vampire in this shot). Meh. Slightly annoyed this is all they've let out but I wasn't expecting too much. Hopefully this means it's going to be big.

If they include crossbows that'd be awesome, so long as it's bonuses are included within the archery tree so I don't have to reroll just to use it effectively.

I had never seen that before. Oh man, I want it all!
Except the Dragon mount... That's stupid.

All i've gotta really say is anyone who looks at the creation kit concerning just the Skyrim.esm and clicks onto actors then a random npc, goes into preview, I noticed snow elves, and also crossbow animations months ago.....? And thats just the bare master esm without the updates. So i'm quite surprised this is only being picked up now.

I get the feeling Snow Elves won't be Falmer... I don't think the words "Snow elves" were ever mentioned at all in vanilla Skyrim. Why would they switch terms for the DLC if it's actually the same race?

I hope I'm right, because I was giddy for Snow Elves/Falmer before the game was released and was crushed when I realized the Falmer were actually twisted monsters and not the adorable blue people from Morrowind.

And crossbows? Yay, I guess. I'd personally have spears, especially if you could use them as both melee and ranged weapons.
It means that... How do I put this...

Snow Elf in elven tongue is Falmer. (-mer=Elf)

But when referred to as a Snow Elf it means back when they were dominant of Skyrim and were their own race.

After being enslaved and driven into complete oppresion by the Dwarves (which is Dwemer in elven tongue), they BECAME known as the Falmer.

It's like the use of Orc for short for Orsimer. They were, I believe Altmer but I could be wrong, at least some variation of -mer, and were cursed for being followers of Malakath when he was a champion of the, again I believe, Altmer, so theyre now called Orc.

Agreed. Morrowind, though I'm sure thought of as a masterpiece (and believe me after playing it I can see why), was the most boring, hollow, skull-dragging excuse of a game I've ever played.

Im a die hard Bethesda fanatic, and even some of my favorite games are from that era (Fable, KOTOR, Oddworld, Crash Tycoon), but Morrowind was painful for me.

But the Falmer were awesome. =< Annoying at times, but the whole "betrayed by the Dwemer and left to rot underground" thing made me feel quite sorry for them. Even if they were trying to slice me open. A lot.
I agree. I felt so sorry for the Falmer, after I learned what happened to them. Skyrim belongs to them.

I swear this game, really needs some 'elven revenge' DLC, I'm sick of being made to care for,and 'save' those unwashed, ignorant Nords.

I want DLC that let's me help the Thalmore win. >_>
Why? the Thalmor are over religious assholes who want to control everyone in ways of religion
Why would you want to join the Legion in New Vegas? It was still a nice addition.

Although seeing as the Thalmor are pretty much apocalypse-bringers, I doubt they will be a joinable faction. You never got the option to join Jagar, Dagoth Ur, Camoran or Alduin.
ah but i don't like the legion very much in new Vegas either the legion are crucifying, body burning, innocent killing, sociopathly slavers

That was my point exactly. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they shouldn't be a joinable faction -- even if it's just for the purpose of an evil playthrough.
true but i still like to hate the two factions i guess your right
