scottym23 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 So I got Skyrim for the xbox first and realized how much better it was for the computer about a couple weeks after playing it and dealing with the glitchy gameplay, sub par graphics, and immensely long loading screens (not to mention limited content compared to the mods offered for the computer version). I've been an avid computer fan of Skyrim since, and haven't looked back at my xbox version of it. It's been tempting to go back to though, especially when Dawnguard first came out for it. I was seeing walkthroughs of it all over my YouTube suggested videos and reviews on it. It was extremely difficult to resist, but I waited as patiently as I possibly could until the computer version was released. The same feeling and anticipation was there for the Dragonborn dlc, but even more. It looked like a full fledged expansion and with amazing content and great lore developing story. What's been troubling me though is the lack of "in-my-face" coverage of it, even though it's been out for the xbox for a while now. I've seen a couple playthrough videos in my newsfeed (resisted the urge to watch them though), but not nearly as many as for Dawnguard. There aren't even any reviews on my YouTube page, and weren't when it first dropped either. I'm just wondering if this is just random and i'm somehow missing all the action (which would be actually a good thing) or if there really isn't as much coverage because of the fact that it isn't that good content wise? Please don't give any details or spoilers about the content if you've got the xbox version or have watched videos about it, but if you could say whether it's good or not as good as it was hyped up to be, that would be awesome to know!

I downloaded it as soon as it was released, and although it didn't take long at all to complete the main story, mostly from non stop gameplay all day long, I love it. I do wish it was out for the pc already though, it would be much better that way. In my opinion, I would try to wait for the pc version if I were you, the reason why I didn't is I try to get every achivement unlocked in games I love, and Skyrim is the main one for me. If you ever played Morrowind, then you will love this dlc even more. It is rather glitchy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are reviews, though: http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/news/20863/video-game-review-return-to-skyrim-with-dragonbornhttp://www.shortandsweetreviews.co/2012/12/s-review-skyrim-dragonborn-dlc.htmlhttp://www.gamerstemple.com/vgreview.asp?r=8132http://gamingbolt.com/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-dragonborn-dlc-reviewhttp://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/12/14/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-dragonborn-reviewhttp://www.oxmonline.com/skyrim-dragonborn-reviewhttp://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/11/skyrim-dragonborn-review/http://www.rpgfan.com/reviews/The_Elder_Scrolls_V_Skyrim_Dragonborn/index.html I could go on and on, but I think this is a good slice of them.
