What I want to know is how House Telvanni is still alive. I think having everyone in your house apparently slaughtered/enslaved/kidnapped for your soul to keep Morrowind safe (And fail)/killed by an eruption/offered to Molag Bal or Azura (yes, Dunmer worship Daedra. Sometimes.) and having someone being the last descendant of the house is a pretty good indication that the house is dead (Or nearly). One does not simply reincarnate (Apart from the Nerevar, Dragons, Argonians etc, but we are talking about Dunmer here.)
For anyone who wants a review of the game, I found this. It's a decent review, and some stuff I can easily disregard (I don't care about achievements not appearing, not an achievement person). He's also calling Stahlrim and Bonemold "new," so I'm assuming he's talking about new to Skyrim and not new to TES.
I've been playing it really slow and just cruising around the south/southwest part of the island. I haven't done any of the main quest. Picked up a couple 'fetch' quests. Been having a bit of problems with frame rate. Seems awfully chunky at some points. Not real stoked on that.
Have some xbox "friends" that seem to be getting achievements like hot cakes. Not sure if it's I'm a slow player (most likely) or they're powering through it. I'll admit, I've been doing some reading too. I never played Morrowind, so I've been getting some Lore up-in-my-life.
I didn't really like the textures in Soul Cairn (especially the ground) and they seemed to have carried over the same with the "ashy" part of Solsthiem.
My immersion is not as strong as I thought it would be. I think alot of it has to do with not having had played Morrowind. But overall, it's been pretty cool. I feel I'm still just scratching the surface...even after 4-5hrs of gameplay.I got 25hrs of gameplay from DG and that was just the DG side....so I'm in no hurry with Dragonborn.
Love both the Stalhrim and carved Nordic weapon and armour sets! Just discovered you can have dual weild staffs! An excellant DLC so far,still only exploring the island at the moment,but enjoying it thoroughly.Made a huge fortune already with the amount of ebony weapons and armour I keep finding xD
