Skyrim: Dragonborn DLC (PS3)

Dragonborn is the final DLC for Skyrim, and it released at the very end of 2012. Taking you to a whole new island, Solstheim.

A dragon priest named Miraak, has similar powers to you and is a Dragonborn himself of sorts. You must track down five black books that will give you the knowledge to defeat Miraak.

Solstheim is a pretty big island, giving you plenty of new places to explore. There is plenty of new quests and side quests to complete. There's new characters and dragon shouts, and even a new home for you to inhabit. I think it's the best of all the possible homes, it's certainly the biggest. New enemies that are pretty creepy and challenge to fight too, as well as a new material called Stalhrim, you can craft armour and weapons from the rare material.

The main questline is great short, but it's prolonged by the black book side quests, they are repetitive though. Each black book quest teleports you to a similar looking area with the same enemies, it's sort of a maze too. You just keep finding the next book until you finally reach the end. By far the worst quests in the whole of Skyrim. The main questline is quite enjoyable and leads to an epic final battle with Miraak.

It's a pretty big add on filled with lots of new content. Most of its good, the only downfall is the black book side quests. It's a strong DLC overall and worth playing if you already love Skyrim.

3.6/5
