Topic: Dawngaurd

Anyone been playing any Dawngaurd? And how about Skyrim having mounted combat. I always asked why they never had mounted combat since the introduction of horses in Oblivion but small update and its about damn time.

Haven't played it yet but I will soon. I love anything involved with Skyrim.

I've been playing it

there is a good source of info in the wiki if anyone wants to learn more about Dawnguard:

I hope next DLC will be betther than Dawngaurd. After a few hours it's getting boring..

I have one question (and no I don't have Skyrim). With the expansive world in Skyrim and the almost infinite quests to go on, why would you ever need DLC? I played Skyrim for an hour at my friend's house and I did no story missions at all. I simply roamed the world dying to trolls and killing wolves. With the immense amount of fun I had, why would DLC be necessary?

Maybe the answer becomes clearer when you've played a bit longer

It's true. At the beginning you can feel little bit.. lost? But after a few hours I'm sure you'll cope with Skyrim's world

I've dumped 300 hours into Skyrim - across multiple characters, and I've yet to actually bother to finish the main questline with any of them - and I have to say, it's probably unnecessary. The game is already bafflingly enormous and there's mountains to do. And if you're not adverse to sitting through the opening a few times to try the game with entirely different characters and direction, it becomes near infinite in scope. I've played as brutish orc beserkers, stealthy assassins, more stereotypical standard warrior- and mage-class types, crackshot archers, powerful necromancers, even a stint scouring every inch of the landscape as a master alchemist (there's all sorts tucked into the landscape that isn't marked on the map). I am yet to be bored of it, and I have yet to play a single character all the way through to completion of the main story arc (not even close to). And there's still a lot of character ideas I'd love to try out - for example I've yet to try out dual-wielding, and my Illusion magicka is continually overlooked.
So Dawnguard probably is completely unnecessary. But that doesn't make any less awesome - it's new paths, new content, new ways to play it and probably many more hours sucked from me.
