…well, the main quest, at least. Anyway: well worth the twenty bucks. Interesting main quest and good visuals; I got stretched a little even though I was running a 77th level character. Also: if you’ve been having trouble finding specific copies of books for your library collection, this add-on will take care of that.
Hoo, boy: yes, it will.
Which is not necessarily a bad thing; I’ve clocked in a staggering amount of hours in Skyrim*. And, apparently, so have the folks making The Witcher 3. Anyway, first details here; sounds like I’m not the only one who found certain aspects of The Witcher 2‘s inventory system annoying as all hell. It also sounds like The Witcher 3’s not quite yet ready for release, alas.

*Dragonborn’s going well so far, actually.
You’re probably bored reading these, but our long national nightmare is over: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim‘s Dragonborn will appear on the PC on February 5th. The PS3 version will follow… the PS3 version will follow. Maybe that month. They’re sure of it. Ya, you betcha.
In the last few weeks, Skyrim’s Dragonborn PS3 DLC release date has been the topic of numerous articles predicting absolutely nothing. The simple fact of the matter is that there is no definite release date for the Dragonborn DLC for the PlayStation 3 or the PC. But there have been a lot of rumors surrounding each. One of those rumors suggested that the PC release date for the Dragonborn DLC was being delayed because Bethesda, in its infinite un-wisdom, doesn’t want to release it before DLC for the PS3 is available. And although Bethesda hasn’t come out and said when these DLCs will be available, they felt the need to let fans know that there is not some marketing conspiracy keeping it off the PC.
“I’ve seen folks posting that we’re holding the PC release and that’s not the case. There’s a lot of work that goes into getting the content ready for both platforms,” Bethesda posted on their blog.
…and I’m not even upset about the lie, mind you. In their shoes I’d lie, too. The truth of the matter is obvious: Bethesda has been having a lot of problems with the PS3 platform version of Skyrim, they’ve already messed about with PS3 fans’ expectations on existing DLC, and us PC users have a lot less to complain about. Mind you, I think that they should just admit failure and give me the stupid Dragonborn DLC – I am not a PS3 user, so their problems are their problems – but I grok why they aren’t doing that.
Still. I want the dang DLC, already.
Titles like this are driving me nuts: “Skyrim’s Dragonborn DLC introduces great villains, Lovecraft, and poor dragon controls.” I wasn’t really all that big on dragon mounts anyway. Come on, January…

PS: Yes, I could get it through the Xbox. Real shame that I can’t port over my game saves though, huh?
Coming out in December, so it won’t show up where I can get it until January. Unless I buy Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the Xbox and just burn through the whole game in three weeks.
…No, I don’t think that I’ll be doing that. Kind of alarming that I had to think about it, though.
Now I can build my doll a new house, and make it just the way I like it, and get her a bunch of other dolls to live there, and we can ADOPT a couple, and then we can have adventures and rescues and FUN!
…Seriously, this is classic “They’re not dolls, they’re action figures!" territory. Mind, I’ve been saving up iron ingots for a month.
…bringing somebody a horse that I stole for him (after double-crossing him with the woman that the horse was being stolen from). Only when I get to said guy, waiting for us are two vampires, a giant spider, and an assassin. The scene ends with the horse dead, the guy running screaming off into the night while on fire (fortunately, he paid me first), and me both poisoned AND down with a quick case of preliminary vampirism.
Worst. Rendezvous point. EVER.
The funny part? It could have been worse. Lydia didn’t walk in front of my fireball this time.
…so far the new parts of the game look a bit crisper than the rest, but that might just be me not remembering the way it looked before. And am I really stuck with just steel crossbow bolts? Gimme something with a little oomph to it, already. I’m seventy-freaking-ninth level, here!
Sheesh. 🙂

PS: I don’t play vampires.
It’s about freaking time. Yeah, yeah, I know: if I had an Xbox, I could have been playing it last month. Startlingly, nobody’s bought me one off of my wish list. You’d almost think that I was not a cult-like leader with a global reach, or something.
