That thumbnail picture for the review reminds me of a certain Dark Elf Corsair captain...
And it just so happens that we go back to the land of the Dunmer in this DLC! Well, ain't that peachy?

Huh. So, in a game known principally for it's multitude of playstyles and free roaming, they add a transportation mechanic that doesn't actually contribute much to the free roaming? I did not see that coming. But I do find it hilarious. I guess it's out so that you don't just breeze through the game, roasting everything in the province atop a dragon?
Really good review, but try to speak a little bit slower next time. I could see some people having trouble hearing you when watching the video review.
Dragons are not wild animals, however. They are intelligent, sentient beings with whom you can clearly and directly communicate without any training or special language required. You might have to use a shout to get them on your side, it's not like you'd need to teach them how to respond to spurs; you should be able to say, "Make a left here," and the dragon would understand what you've said and respond appropriately. If you can direct them to attack specific targets, surely you could direct them to do a barrel roll just as easily.SajuukKhar said:
Comparing dragons to inanimate objects or animals that don't comprehend human speech isn't really accurate.
That said, I could care less, I wouldn't want to ride a dragon anyway. I don't even like riding the horses in Skyrim. Better maneuverability just staying on your feet.
Interesting, have you ever reviewed a game previously because up to this point I have not heard your voice?
On topic I will hold off downloading this until someone gets around to making the dragons 100 percent controllable. They toted dragon taming in the trailers, not bartering with a bus driver. They will be duly punished by not having me throw my money at them just yet.

You're never going to strike me down, puny human.Li Mu said:
OT:
I was wondering how they were going to make dragon riding work because of Bethesda's horrible dance with texture pop-in. I guess they found a way.
Hopefully when it comes out on the PC a modder makes the dragons controllable.
This DLC didn't interest me with the dragon riding, though. What really interested me was returning to Morrowind (well, Solstheim, but you get the idea). Glad to hear the DLC is good, can't wait for it to come out on PC.

Bleh, from the first view of Dragonborn i was iffy about the whole dragon riding since i don't even own a horse in Skyrim... i don't even keep companions with me. The Dunmer are a solitary bunch >_>
Since i was never particularly interested in the mounts anyway it's good to hear that the new area is just as absorbing as Skyrim always was. I'm looking forward to experiencing some of that Morrowind atmosphere since i never actually played the genuine article.

Review seemed rather stilted, you can't just read what your text review said, anyone can do that. A vocal video review needs to add something; look at bob or yahtzee, their video pieces are often more expressive than their written articles. Apart from that I cant fault what is (from my POV) your first escapist piece.
OT: Haven't played it and tbh nothing in any of the skyrim DLCs has got me thinking "I have to play this", there's just not enough to make me think this is worth the extra money.

Only watched the video review and it was not well done. The whole first segment on dragon riding? Tiny part of the DLC that's not that interesting. She fails to mention that its not only Solstheim but the realm of Apocrypha as well. Also the huge number of easter eggs and throw backs to Bloodmoon and Morrowind were ignored as well.
Most people want this DLC for its nostalgia quality (it includes Morrowind's music), and a new Deadric realm is a big deal for a lot of Elder Scrolls players. You don't need to mention that the realm you go to is Apocrypha, but it should still be mentioned.
The reviewer didn't seem interested or even knowledgeable about the DLC. Werebears, Kaarstag, OP werewolf items if you find the pack, heaps of interesting side quests, this DLC has a lot to offer fans of Skyrim, but more so fans of the Elder Scrolls.
I did think the main quest was enjoyable but left something to be desired, wasn't as epic as I had hoped.
EDIT: I see that most of the comments are about dragon riding... Only a small, small part of the DLC people and the reviewer should not have intro'd with it or made such a big deal about it. Not to mention that fully controlled dragon riding would probably be pretty game breaking.

Yep, pretty much what I thought it would be. More Elder Scrolls is all I really needed, the dragon riding just sweetened the deal. That said, I'm not terribly upset that it's as lame as I figured it would be. I have a 360, but own this game for the PC specifically for the modding. That said, I can't wait for this to come out for the PC and see how the modders will improve on Dragon Taming.
