Dragonborn Release for PC

PC and PS3 fans, prepare to cast off. Next month, you will travel to Solstheim, home of Skyrim’s latest add-on, Dragonborn. PS3 fans can expect an expanded itinerary – with stops at Fort Dawnguard and Castle Volkihar – before heading back to the home of your dreams. Details below:

 

 

PC: On Tuesday, February 5th, Dragonborn will be available on Steam, including the English, French, Italian, Spanish and German versions of the content.

 

PlayStation 3: Dragonborn will be the first add-on arriving on PSN in February. Hearthfire will release next, followed by Dawnguard, and all three should be out in February. The 1.8 update will also release, just prior to Dragonborn. We’ll keep you posted as release dates get finalized both on our end and with Sony for each and its various languages. Last but not least, each one will be 50% off during their launch week on PSN.

 

Over the last year, it’s been a treat for us to work on new content for Skyrim, and we’re excited that it will soon be available for everyone to explore. Thanks for all your support and sharing your adventures with us.

 

YAY!

As much as I am looking forward to the new DLC, I think they left out in their announcement:

 

"Prior to the release, we will upload a new patch, which will cause major havoc with modded games until mod authors are able to sift through the code to figure out what they need to modify for compatibility. As we will not be updating Creation Kit files for several weeks or more, you can expect to enjoy plenty of increased CTDs and game-breaking bugs and glitches in your modded game. Have fun, kids!

Georgigril it's so wonderful that they offer additional content isn't it? I mean, instead of fixing the original issues with a somewhat broken and badly ported game. A DLC to fix and really make the game a PC game would probably sell more DLC copies then all the others combined. Imagine getting a complete game from bethesda (even at the cost of user liberties... ie STEAMypile). One where menu structure worked, no graphical problems with AA, shadowing, rendering, light limitations, physics and input device options. indepth story lines that follow the timeline of events and not a repetative 4 (average) choice reply from NPC's.

 

Oh the dreams of the fading PC gamers. We can still dream, right?

That's part of the joy of Bethesda games. They're like the incoming wave about to wash your painstakingly elegant sand castle into the sea.

Fortunately, we're already on Patch 1.8 for both Skyrim and CK, so Dragonborn shouldn't cause any major problems. I wouldn't put it behind Bethesda to randomly release a 1.9 patch before hand though, thus messing us all up. :P

Very poetic (And so true!) ! Have you considered the Bards College? :biggrin:

I'm pretty certain we've had a patch before every DLC (plus more, of course.) I wouldn't call it random, though, I think they would need to patch the game to make the new content work with the vanilla game, even.

 

As for me, I've got my Steam in offline mode, and plan to keep it there until the chaos settles a bit.

I auditioned but apparently they only have places for adventurers (with knee guards) as they are looking for some old book... Plus when you're trying to reach high notes... and you're Dragonborn.... well, it doesn't go well...

One of the judges got flung out the window and I think I froze the other...
