The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Dragonborn Video Review

seeing the burnt aftermath of the volcano in the distance and realizing that it was my precious morrowind reduced to nothing but ash fire and memory brought a tear to my eye.

It makes sense that dragon riding is how it is. It's a dragon, not a horse. You're commanding that dragon to allow you onto it's back and can issue commands. You don't mind control the thing.

It's a independent dovah who don't need no man.

1:08 “It’s hard to argue that Skyrim is aging well”
2020: 🤔

There could have been more interaction between you and Miraak. You see him once and then another time. Regardless of how many times he decides to troll you whenever you kill a dragon I think there could have been more interaction between you and Miraak during the story, as he is your counterpart. Perhaps even the option to join his side or even work with him in a sick Daedric trick.

seriously I still think Skyrim is a beautiful sight to behold.

The graphics are far from the reason to play the game though. Especially considering the consistency with the graphics throughout the massive world.

[Waspinator]

This expansion pushed me to play Morrowind, which was an excellent game in its own right. For that, I thank Dragonborn. But in terms of standalone DLC, I liked Dawnguard just a little bit better.

I'm playing FOUR YEARS after this review came out and I still think Skyrim is beautiful. The sprawling views of mountains and outdoor lighting rendered in real-time still impress me and I've played games on PS4 that are, from a technical standpoint, far superior.

[supersaiyangenitals]

Omg man what level are you playing on? I don't know if it's just me but you're killing enemies like they're nothing which makes me think you're playing below adept

[rigbythekhajiit]

"lengthy loading times"? it takes 5 seconds

[FlorisVanLent]

"It's funny because it's unexpected."

Well I guess you made it not funny for everyone watching this video then >_>

[Jack-fhqh]

he's using wuuthrad, and has been using it since the dawnguard dlc review. how does he stay with a single weapon, and still do so much damage as he's leveling up to fight harder enemies? i think he's playing on novice.

[godstriker]

For 10$, it was a really good deal. Respecing a character, and cool new shouts along with a surprisingly expansive secondary area, made for a worthy addition to skyrim

[twistedtick]

I'm playing in late 2016, folks, and I still think Skyrim is one of the best looking open-world games out there. Not to mention how fun the game is even now.

[GrugSmesh]

PC with all DLC and 60+ mods. Still only about 1 to 2 second loading time. Plus the game looks better or is on par with any game out currently in 2014.

[nolanelton]

Skyrim is still better than witcher 3 no regrets!!!

[RobRuiz]

bought the Definitive Edition last week for XB1...already over 60 hours put into it! Love it!!
And it's the first time I've actually downloaded the thems song...epic!!

[undead_nexus]

Man. This makes me regret trading in the game... Oh well :) I'll just buy the GOTY edition when it comes out.

[billyhorton]

picked this up on blackfriday for my ps4 and I'm loving it

[TheLordDeliverence]

Glad I bought this on PC, mods, high textures next to no load times such a good game @ 179 hours played and still love this game. I hope they continue to bring out DLC for a long time to come. The wait for Dragonborrn is almost over, I know it will be worth it.

Dwarf quest line to next dlc! Fight for the dwarves to get their dungeons back. Dwarf class where you would get 25-50% meele strenght in caves. Some dwarf merchants like the khajiti. It would begin by finding a dwarf in Markarth, after reaching high enough level, where he asks for your help to clear out all the dwarf caves so they could start repopulating them. You would get a new dwarf follower as well. OR then a whole new area which is suppoused to be the last hideout for the dwarves.
