Skyrim: DLC info leaked
Games, RPG, DLC, Leaked, Rumors, Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls, McBraas
EDIT*
Read our newest leak on the Hearthfire DLC -here- and read the announcement (with details on the DLC) -here-
As for the credibility of this topic, I can confirm nothing.
I must say, however, that I have a feeling this isn’t lies (After careful consideration, some of it seems a little out there, but I am still a believer,) but hey – I’m just the middle man between the news and you!
If you read the topic, and lets assume you did, then you already know that this post is about Skyrim DLC, which we all knew was coming.
Under normal circumstances I would deliver the info with a comedic twist and a tomboyish attitude, but alas my friends, since I am conveying the exact words of others, I’ve decided to simply upload a snippet and let you have a glimpse at the thing for yourselves!
Underneath the picture I will make a list of the key points of the entire snippet, in case you don’t care for reading it all the way through.
KEY POINTS:
- Three massive expansions
- The Riders of Hammerfell (Hammerfell expansion)
- New land: Adjacent Hammerfell landmass
- Quest line: About a guild called Dragon Riders
- New mounts: Dragon (with shout attacks,) Sabre cat, Bear, Wolf, Mammoth and more
- New side quests
- New spells, armor, weapons and companions
- Morrowind expansion
- New land: Somewhere in Morrowind (*supposedly the land adjacent to Skyrim)
- Horse armor
- More houses, like Frostcraig Spire
- Quest line: revolving around werewolves
- The ability to shapeshift into other monsters and animals
- Cyrodiil expansion
- New land: Somewhere in Cyrodiil
- Quest line: Waging war on the Thalmor

I am calling this fake for a multiple of reasons.
1st off I have never seen a dlc where you go to a new province, let alone three. If they were going to have a new province I think they would have only one dlc for it.
2)All these new mounts are just ridiculous…if I want to ride a cat I’ll go play WoW…not skyrim! And we have all seen the size of WOLVES…impossible to ride one, that reason alone should be enough to discredit it.
3)We all know how great of a mod horse armor is and would sure love to have it back after paying money
4)Werewolves is kind of established with the companions, i mean what else could you do by being a werewolf going to the near-barren province of morrowind other than kill random people?
5)electric dragon riding faction in hammerfell…dragon riding sounds like a fun mod to download, but a horrible dlc to buy. Especially since lore-wise they are all intelligent, that is like training a wood elf…
and finally, 6) A war mod in cyrodiil would be way too complicated, going to cyrodiil implies you are siding with the empire, a more plausible mod would be helping the rebellion in hammerfell (without dragons).
your wrong - March 21, 2012 7:39 pm
in fallout the dlc takes you to far away lands, how hard would it be to make a small section of the other provinces and make it a dlc for skyrim, not hard at all
patrick mcmurry - March 22, 2012 4:30 am
I didn’t say it would be hard to do, just that it is unlikely that they would break away from what seems like elderscrolls norm. I actually said going to hammerfell seems plausible and I wouldn’t doubt it in a dlc down the road. But this “info” has too much ridiculous parts too it…
Riding wolves is enough to discredit it, that is utterly ridiculous and impossible. And reading the rest of it makes it seem like a 14slut year old who just read eragon and couldn’t pay WoW’s subscription anymore threw his ideas of a mod together.together
War - April 10, 2012 6:31 am
First of all, your an obvious idiot.
Second of all, the most important fact. Morrowind, and many other old land masses are already embeded in skyrim. The only way you can reach these area’s is to noclip out of skyrim into these worlds on the PC. So I find these expansions to be real.
Also the whole mount system will be fun, especially dragon mount flying, and guess what! I don’t need to be in a raiding guild and be a sore loser like yourself to have played WoW, and hate everything that resembles the game.
Connor - April 17, 2012 7:25 pm
I think the idea of dragon mounts would make the game far to easy something Bethesda are far to clever to do
Secondly x-box could not sustain a war due to the intelligence of CPUs
Thirdly not all of these morrowind is in skyrim just as much as you can see the idea of any of the other lands being put into skyrim is ridiculous because of the size and richness of the environments
Finally Patricks comments were very intelligent you however who feels the need to start insulting a guy you haven’t met for being realistic is immature and unneeded
ryan - April 20, 2012 3:52 am
Eragon was a great book series I loved it. BRISINGR!!
Matthew Videll - March 22, 2012 1:24 am
Well apparently you have to pull your head outta your ass.
1. There is a dlc where you can go to a new province/ world. Its called Shivering Isles you dumb ass.
2. The new mount idea is hella sick. I mean being able to ride a spider, wolf, or sabre cat would be dope.
3. Yes you got to BECOME a werewolf. You never got to actually become a part of a pack.
4. The dargon riding would be sick. I mean it would mean you were siding with the greybeards and fighting the blades or persuading them to change their views about dragons.
5. The horse armor would be sick. Hope they also add dragon armor for your dragon.
6. The Thalmor war dlc would be epic. It would make sense, if youre character is a Talos hater than he can join up with the Thalmor especially if you are a high elf. I am pretty sure you would be able to either side with 3 different armies. One = stormcloak. Two = Imperials. Three = Thalmor. Or if you want peace with the stormcloaks Imperials and Stormcloaks vs Thalmor.
All in all my fellow adventurer, you just greatly lack imagination. To see you bitch about how everything is going to be crap is pathetic.
Now to my thoughts.
1. I hope they fix the marriage options. And also add more options like marrying someone in hammerfell or tamriel.
2. They need to have the fighters guild and arena.
3. There should be a Hammerfell rider called Eragon.
4. There needs to be a ton more artifacts. 20 doesnt cut it. Besides they all look similar to the actual weapons you can create.
5. maybe a few new armors like 6. 3 light and 3 heavy.
6. fix the apparell bug to where the follower goes back to the default apparell instead of the apparrel you gave them.
7. needs sexier armor variations for the women.
8. maybe make the underwear for both genders removeable. so you can run around nude, and get nasty comments from people you happen to run by. like maybe: shield your eyes children, its a nasty wench. or my momma says ur a whore, whatever that means.
9. have a spouse guild/ thing. that way you can marry someone and do quest related stuff for your spouse. Like maybe she gets kidnapped as well as your children and you have to save them from bandits.
10. also bring back the slaves. i remember in morrowind you could buy slaves and then there would be the option of keeping them or setting them free.
/facepalm - March 25, 2012 6:30 am
I thought you were maybe somewhat reasonable, until I read what you wanted to be put into DLC. A Hammerfell rider named Eragon? I guess that would be a good idea with Bethesda were looking for a lawsuit. Pretty sure the lore also says the fighters guild dissipated after the events of Oblivion also.
Then you have “needs sexier armor variations for the women.” I don’t even know where to start with that one, besides telling you that you’re filled with more testosterone than needed, and that women are more than objects and they are capable of things besides looking sexy and if you want to see some hot girls you should just go watch some porn.
And running around naked is what got Oblivion’s rating changed from ESRB T to ESRB M. Way to go, hotshot, you’re quite the intellect.
Mikem249 - April 9, 2012 9:10 pm
Amen!
Bobo - April 17, 2012 8:58 pm
Lol, porn. That made me laugh. He is not talking about the things women are capable of. They can do the same things as guys. We are all equal. He is talking about the armor. He just wants armor that looks feminine.
ryan - April 21, 2012 7:02 pm
The mages guild was dissolved not the fighters, they just have no pressence in skyrim.
Lmao - April 26, 2012 3:52 pm
Your obviously a female lol. Dude is just wanting alil fun. Get over your self and let the man have his opinions. Not like bethesda is really going to do that so just pipe down and get your grannie pantees out your ass.
Nymphocide - April 1, 2012 2:08 pm
The fact that you used phrases like “hella sick” and “dope” completely voids your entire opinion. You are online stupidity personified. Congratulations.
Setrakus - April 19, 2012 5:58 pm
The fact that your name is “Nymphocide’ completely voids your entire opinion on the subject and any comments that other individuals make.
Jared - April 22, 2012 6:07 pm
Damn straight @Setrakus and I completely agree with @Matthew Videll
Ryan - April 3, 2012 9:26 pm
Patrick, i disagree with you. you clearly lack imagination. and that’s sad because to really understand something like a game you need imagination. and when your trying to be logical with a game like skyrim it’s pretty hard when you’ve got people that can shoot flames out of their hands and people that can throw people miles back with their voice, oh and did i say DRAGON’S? so just try to keep your mind open.
Timothy - April 4, 2012 8:38 pm
They do not in any possible way Void his opinion, they do however lessen the impact they’ll have on the reader.
Connor - April 17, 2012 7:24 pm
His post doesn’t lack imagination he is just stating the facts of trying to sustain a world that large and dragon mounts would be whats called a game breaker as it would eliminate most challenges in the game
Eddard - April 11, 2012 6:57 am
1. Shivering Isles is not a province. It is a daedric realm. BIG difference. Lore-wise and ingame. Going to a different province is very much likely to alter the lore of Tamriel, compared to the Shivering Isles where it doesn’t matter if you buy it or or not as it makes little difference to the ingame world. So stop calling people a dumbass.
2. New mounts is shit. Look at what DLCs in the past have offered you. New realms, cities, characters, factions, stories. OH NO I WANT TO RIDE ON A GIANT SPIDER THAK YOU VERY MUCH.
3. Good point, but associating Lycanthropy with Hircine rather than the Companions would have been better.
4. Dragon riding would be shit. After spending an entire game learning about how they can be good and bad, and are wise and majestic, you now you want to rope one up and ride it. Not to mention the problems with map barriers, city cells, the fact that it makes you practically invincible etc
5. If you had played Oblivion you would know that horse armour is quite possibly the worst idea Bethesda ever had. Dragon armour would be like a giant “up yours”.
6. Thalmor war is implausible at best. Skyrim cannot support battles on a large scale without an impressive rig. Releasing DLC that requires such a rig is unlikely.
The only thing of marginal merit i could discern from the sheer drivel that you call “your thoughts” was the re-introduction of the Arena.
The Insane Guy Krann - April 27, 2012 4:49 pm
Guys really, give it a rest, the guy was giving his opinion on the matter, not demanding that bethesda accept his Ideals. Everybody is entitled to formulate thier own point of view and frankly, its rediculous how immaturely everyone is reacting to this.
Sean - January 4, 2013 7:37 am
Amen to that, brotha.
Ascronemia - April 17, 2012 5:28 pm
You, my good sir, are Obviously a 12 year old who hasn’t hit puberty yet and just finished reading Eragon, Not to mention your probably too poor to afford WoW and hate anyone who plays/played it. Stop bitching about other people bitching, Hypocrite.
POV-erty - September 21, 2012 1:52 am
You my not-so-good sir seem to be a 11 year old turd who obviously does not quite understand the meaning of hypocrite considering YOU’RE (not your) being hypocritical in your post. Not to mention though pricey over time, you do not have to be rich to play WoW. Sure not all ideas are great but that’s what makes this world unique, different ideas and opinions from different points of view. Rich or poor. Maybe YOU’RE just a spoiled brat.
Failio - April 18, 2012 11:33 am
You need to stop staying ‘Sick’ it shows a lack of imagination. Something you criticised another poster for….Dumb ass.
BoB - April 27, 2012 9:14 pm
Lol A dragon rider Named Eragon Are You Insane Jeez , Yes mounts would be cool but Why not call the Game Wow thats al this game will be!
edgar - March 30, 2012 6:49 am
Dude please keep in mind that todd himself stated that they were thinkin big for this game on a much bigger scale than any of their previous titles. The idea of 3 new provinces doesn’t sound bad at all on every level from the fans to the piles of cash the company will make in return for their time invested. Just picture the concept of having 3 neighboring provinces instead of a deadra princes playground. The depth of the story would be much more deeper at every level, probably more than any other series if they really wanted to. This company has made their name in breaking the boundries in rpg games. I can’t agree with everything listed on the page but the introduction of seeing these distant lands we once roamed in some 200 years later sounds epic to me
Dan - April 1, 2012 3:25 pm
Just to couple this with what you said, with it taking like…40 minutes to ride from riften to solitude on a horse in Skyrim, if they added Hammerfell, Morrowind and potentially Cyrodil as well then it makes Dragon Mounts seem, not only a plausible addition but potentially a necessity. In my Skyrim saves I don’t fast travel, it lets me get the most out of my game and find loads of things I’d have otherwise missed. Riding a horse across 3 – possibly 4 – countries, while enjoyable I’m sure, the journey alone would be almost a game in itself.
Lone_Wolf - April 6, 2012 2:34 pm
I agree that, providing there was 3 other provinces, you would need a dragon mount but i think that you can’t really tame something that once enslaved the Nord race. It just doesn’t strike me as something a dragon would take lying down.
Maybe you have to prove yourself to one in a shouting contest or non-lethal combat sort of like with Odahviing. After that you have to learn the dragon’s name and can call it when you need a flying mount.
Tim - April 9, 2012 12:50 pm
Odahviing? Anyone remember him at all? Anyone remember how he said he’d help the Dragonborn? Suddenly a dragon mount doesn’t seem so farfetched, huh? The different breath seems a little out there though. Frost? Maybe. Fire? Probably. Electric? Doubt it.
Connor - April 17, 2012 7:29 pm
I’d like the stress that a map that large would be very difficult to put into a game and personally I don’t think bethesda would re-use cyrodill or morrowind just because they are so good at coming up with new things these dlcs seem very fan made then the levels of imagination that bethesda are so good at
awildpidgey - April 20, 2012 8:29 pm
You know they compressed skyrim so it wouldnt take up to much disk space right? Theres still a crap ton of room left for major exspansions
BionicVertebrae - April 24, 2012 7:34 pm
Ok, just kind of throwing this out there, so bear with me. Last I checked, isn’t the Dragonborn the rightful emperor? I know there is already an emperor but #SPOILER# don’t you kill him? And if you hadn’t he could still be killed by any other random brotherhood assassin. I know this is kind of random, but at the end of oblivion the council said they had to find a new emperor and i got so excited, who better than the guy who just saved the world right? But it went no where. I would like to claim my rightful throne!!! Through some console manipulation there is a visible Cyrodil, so it is plausible that you could get in contact with the Empire, especially if it is a Thalmor thing. And if the emperor had died, then the Empire would need a leader, especially if it was at war. And who better than the guy WHO SHOULD FREAKIN’ BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?! And some people might have a problem with the idea of an adventuring Emperor, but who says what you can’t do? I ‘ll tell you who. NOBODY! Your the emperor, you tell other people what they can’t do! I know many people will disagree with this whole idea, and I welcome the opinions of others.
South African - May 28, 2012 8:06 pm
Like the idea but the dragonborn is not truley the heir of the Empire so he would need to do something of note for the Empire like, yes, the civil war quest or the main quest having to be complete.
Also the dragonborn that you play as isn’t in any way said to be a desendant of Talos so this means the quest would begin with Talos visiting you and telling you who you are or you discover a text depicting your family tree or so on.
Also this would mean that Bethesda would need to add in multiple provinces so you could choose to fight the Aldmeri or not.
Also in Oblivion the Mythic Dawn were known to have exterminated all the heirs to the throne but Martin so does that mean Martin actualy had a son or there was another heir, that even Methrunes Dagon couldn’t find?
But I love the Creativity of this idea.
McBraas - May 28, 2012 9:44 pm
The Septim line is dead.
The only reason that Dovahkiin should have claim to the throne, would be due to his dragon soul; the entire Septim line consisted of Dragonborn. I doubt anyone would agree to put him on the throne, though.
Blake - March 31, 2012 4:49 pm
What about in elder scrolls with the shivering isles that was a new province
Eddard - April 11, 2012 6:58 am
Not a province. BIG difference in terms of what affects the in-game lore and what doesn’t
Alex - April 26, 2012 4:50 am
Were Mournhold and Solstheim from Elder scrolls three not “Provinces”? I suppose Mournhold was more of just a city but Solstheim could be considered that. It seems as if a lot of people don’t understand that Large Landmasses have been added in the elder scrolls series before, its just instanced in a different plane rather then one constant presence tied together. (I’m not arguing about the Lore of the game however, just that it’s not unprecedented in any way for the elder scrolls series to give you access to new areas.)
Mark - April 1, 2012 5:42 am
You know that there is stuff outside Skyrim right? I mean one dude found a complete low res Cyrodyl and I think Morrowind using the no-clip thingy in the game. Actual size. Maybe they were paving the way for the big expansions?
BTW I would love to have the arena back, anything else is ok. Though I share your views on the whole dragon taming thing, no idea how to make it work Lore-wise.
RelaxedTerror @ XboxLive - April 4, 2012 1:56 am
If they make an arena I’d like to have unlimited fights unlike oblivion’s cause fighting random creatures once a week would kill me.
Maybe add a ranked online PVP. I would really like them to make some sort of Alteration (Shrine/Tablet/Room)? so you could re-customize your Dovahkin.
Pinacoladaman - April 7, 2012 11:43 pm
*******SPOILERS********
Odahving said he believed Dovahkiin’s Thu’um was strong,and pledged his allegiance to you.Calling him to you to ride doesnt seem out-of-lore,especially since he flew you to that portal to sovngarde
Guest - April 8, 2012 11:28 pm
not only that but if im correct
SPOILERS~
if you kill the dragon that helps you, odahviing will make you the leader or something and he manages them, as you beat him and he was second in command.

the akaviri tamed and rode dragons and they are the predecessors to the blades.
NordJitsu - April 14, 2012 7:09 pm
I don’t really think the issue is whether or not you can “tame” dragons. Like people have already mentioned, dragons are intelligent. You can’t tame them like dogs. That doesn’t mean you can’t ride them though.
SPOILER ALERT
We already rode a dragon once in the main quest. Maybe instead of “taming” dragons we can “befriend” them and they’ll let us have a ride.
TrueDOVAH - April 3, 2012 6:01 pm
Ok so onviously you didnt watch the Game Jam video that bethesda put out. Because who ever made this up put some actuall thought into it. Like riding dragons was bethesda’s idea first.. but if you think about that with a game like skyrim why would they just randomly throw that in there? “ok today i cant ride dragons but today i can!!” Thery would most likely put a story behind it if it were to make it in the game. second off, POINT LOOKOUT, OLD WORLD BLUES. two huge DLCs put out by bethesda featuring new provinces. Morrowind had one also. Remember Solstheim? that was a douwnload and it was a “new province”. Tod howard even said the DLCs are going to be HUGE, how can you make them huge if all you do is add little things to the already existing game that is (finally) starting to become dull? he want s to add to it on a mass level… But yeah… just sayin before you go and say stuff…. you should actually know the topic first hand……. :p
Eddard - April 11, 2012 7:01 am
Fallout is way different because they can basically just invent what the DLC contains because its a vast unexplored waste. In TES it is clearly mapped universe meaning it is harder to make huge DLCs without impacting the lore significantly.
boosa - April 11, 2012 9:01 pm
how would adding a new province impact lore? it would set a precedent for bethseda, but it wouldn’t tamper with any kind of lore. i don’t see how having a new character in a new area following a quest related to the story in skyrim changes anything at all. besides, skyrim takes place in the fourth age, an age which isn’t finished yet and still has many events that can happen. i mean they filled in the gaps with random stuff for the 200 years inbetween oblivion and skyrim. please do explain your reasons as to why ti would tamper with your beloved lore.
Rabbitt - April 11, 2012 10:16 pm
If Bethesda made the game’s, they also define the lore within them and can obviously add whatever they want to said lore, just saying…
Jayden - September 16, 2012 6:21 am
while your waiting in the loading screen i say that it popped up with info that nords came from a continent,not a provice far away from tamriel and the continent was atmora and there could secretly be town and cities there that the people of cydrolil never knew existed so it is possible
Element--Fire- - April 20, 2012 1:18 am
Element–Fire-@ psn
Ok first I agree with Dan second you all are thinking like gamers and not like market stratigists. Look at other hugh Rpgs dragon age they came out with a whole disc and didnt call it 2. It responded with how you already played the game people thirsted for it so bad they charged like a new game price.
how easy would it be to cut scene a dragon fight and have a dragon agree to join. as long as your shouts are mastered no need to take souls in addition soul capture dragons souls with spells and enchant or spell to make them conceed would be great. how easywould it be to link the massive underground falmar cities to the new maps. just saying. would like to hear your thoughts.
RelaxedTerror @ XboxLive - April 4, 2012 1:35 am
“1st off I have never seen a dlc where you go to a new province,” Shivering Isles….
“we have all seen the size of WOLVES…impossible to ride one,” Dire Wolves….
The dire wolf was probably the heaviest canine ever to have existed.
Haven’t you seen the giant Mud Crab? Impossible!? This is a fantasy game anything is possible. “what else could you do by being a werewolf going to the near-barren province of morrowind other than kill random people?” Two words… Were Bear…
P.S Not attacking just adding some facts
Doomdodgers - April 4, 2012 2:17 pm
It’s quite easy to have separate provinces as DLC, they’ve probably been building them as long as Skyrim itself, and just need the story and quests and things put in there to make them complete. Also, about implying that you sided with empire, humbug! It’s very easy to imagine the stormcloak army going to cyrodiil to help against the Thalmor. Not because they care for the empire’s wellbeing, but because they care for their own. If the Empire is left alone to contending with the Thalmor, they would be easy pickings, but with Skyrim, and possibly the free elves along with bretons and redguard will also be there sooner or later. Part of the quest might actually be related to getting allies to fight the Thalmor.
blah - April 4, 2012 2:45 pm
1st off I have never seen a dlc where you go to a new province, let alone three. If they were going to have a new province I think they would have only one dlc for it.
in morrowind you could go to two different areas that had nothing to do with the beginning area of the game which were both full of content. what would be the difference if they expanded skyrim a little into each of the adjacent territories?
benny - April 7, 2012 3:55 pm
i agree on most points but there are a couple of things i think you’re wrong.
1. you said that you have never seen a dlc where they added a whole province
but in fallout all dlc are landmass extentions.
2. riding is indeed an insane idea in some cases but there is nothing wrong
with riding dragons
3. it is not necesery to be on the empire. side if you are you may be soment
for a briefing whit the empire due to jor high army rang
if not alfrake may be extending the war to make shure the empire wont com back
by bring the war to his land.
4. i dont understant bethesda’s on the morrowind expension either but don’t forget
that lycanthropic cam to by in morrowind
untile the time that befesta releases the dlc it wil still be a gambel but it still is betheda’s call and i don’t think these ideas are not that bad. am think of the big picture dragon-riding. sheap-shifting. domenading battle fields. colloction new equitment en spells enjoin even more time in skyrim
That hurt - April 9, 2012 10:07 am
Oh my. My nose literally started bleeding from all the spelling and grammar errors on this post. I struggled trying to read it. I actually had to sound words out like I was a four years old all over again. Psst, spellcheck.
But point aside, I have high hopes with whatever Bethesda decides to put in the dlc. Remember, this is a world based on fantasy, so pretty much anything’s up for grabs. As long as it fits the game, or parts of the game, and the fans like it, more power to them. If there can be dragons fluttering around aimlessly and the ability to scream gibberish at extinct mammals, there probably can be a couple wolves wandering around that are just the right size to bareback. Who can say whether or not the “leaked” post is true. If you don’t work for bethesda, you probably can’t say for sure. And everyone need to not get so up in arms and offended. Everyone has their own opinions. Except for the idea of mounts that can get sick and smoke dope. That’s just silly.

J-Man - April 8, 2012 6:40 pm
It is simple no one can actually credit the source but that doesn’t mean that this is fake. What I beleive is that these are possible concepts that Bethesda is considering but might instead make into a whole new game.(Would not of been the first time a gaming company has done it) All I’m saying is that it is a possibilty and we should not compleatly disown it just keep our minds open.
@Patrick McMurry - April 9, 2012 12:57 am
There wouldn’t be a hammerfell rebellion its just to get the empire out of skyrim because teh nords wanted it to be their land
Tim - April 9, 2012 1:09 pm
1.)Blood Moon, Tribunal, and The Shivering Isles. Though Blood Moon wasn’t another Province, and Tribunal was technically part of Morrowind, all three of those expansions were fairly large add-ons. The added land mass isn’t usually as large as, or bigger than, the main land the game takes place on, but that doesn’t mean that the upcoming DLC’s can’t be in different provinces.
2.) With the knowledge of being able to attack while on a mount, who’s to say that the mounts wont each come with their own attack? Maybe Bethesda will make the wolves more ferocious? Besides, horses get boring. Especially when the only good horse in the game is Shadowmere.
3.) If there is another horse armor pack, it’s probably going to be free. Bethesda did mention that they would be releasing “FREE” things into the game to keep people interested till a DLC came out.
4.) The werewolfs barely had any part in the game. Giving them something important in the game would be GREATLY appreciated by all the werewolf fans.
5.) Odahviing. He offers his service to the Dragonborn. Suddenly a dragon mount isn’t to far out there huh?
6.) A war against the Thalmore does NOT imply siding with the Empire. It could imply that the rest of the provinces are choosing to get rid of the Thalmore rule. Though, the dragon riders of Hammerfell does seem a little too much, but where a majority of the dragons went after Alduin’s defeat wasn’t really mentioned. Parthanox could have a role in that kind of DLC.
Far too many holes in your reasoning. Though, there’s a great chance that additional mounts, and quests related to dragons wont be happening, the rest seems incredibly possible.
Tye1029 - April 10, 2012 5:29 am
In a Oblivion they added a entire new place i admit some of these things seam far fetched and i dought even 2 or 3 of these things are real like mounts like a dragon if they WANTED to do that would have but the oviosly did not
Bam Kapow - April 10, 2012 4:08 pm
Well regular wolves would be too small, but maybe frost wolves. I haven’t played the game in a while, but i remember them being larger.
Kaleb - April 11, 2012 6:18 pm
You are wrong by far accounts
1). for one In Oblivion, the expansion ‘The Shivering isles” was indeed a different “province”.
2). yes as many mounts as he said there was going to be is kind of ridiculous, but the dragon mount thing is totally possible.
3). Horse armor should be free…
4). Were wolf skill trees could be emplimented.
5). YOu could more speak to them, or more like challenge them to batttle to earn their respect to be able to ride them or fight with them in battle.
6). It would not be to complicated. there developers for peat sake… they can do what they want. Also the thalmor would be quite intresting, they already hate all other races so it could be quite easily developed.
james - April 11, 2012 6:35 pm
your saying this from a computer games point of view talking about mods and shit, what you need to remember is that these are gonna be released for xbox and ps3 and we cant mod so there is a high chance of there being horse armour and about to mount dragons, and with the province stuff, they probably will have that as a dlc or why would there be paths leading out to all of them.
Rick - April 12, 2012 4:52 am
IN oblivion the previous elder scroll they made a complete new area in the game (the shivering illes). Maybe all the facts are not strait because this employee was not in the loop. And I don’t think you can program shit so how to you know about making epic games.
Quinnten Beckner - April 16, 2012 8:04 pm
I agree that this is fake, but not as in “Its all fake and cant happen”. It is really impossible to call something that doesn’t even exist yet, “fake”. I can however see some of these idea’s being put forward into a few DLC’s.
1. There are tons of examples of “New Province” DLC. End of story.
2. This is indeed Skyrim. Thee most awesome game I have played in a long time. Being able to mount a Frostbite spider sounds like it would be loads of fun. As would steering a massive fire breathing dragon.
3. THANK YOU. Horse armor would be amazing.
4. Having more quests that involve werewolves would be amazing, and is well needed.
5. Flying a dragon would be great. using it to fight. it would be over powered.
6. DLC for the war between the stormcloaks, imperials, and thalmor needs to be made. its part of the story line for gods sake X_X.
Nona - April 16, 2012 8:44 pm
Do some research on previous elder scrolls games. They’ve done big new areas and provinces plenty of times (plus there was the entire region of Shimmering Isles in Oblivion).
Having said that, I’m pretty skeptical about this myself.
devinem24 - April 17, 2012 8:07 am
ummm, did you not play the oblivion shivering isles dlc? thats a new province in a way, even tho its a realm still an entire new land to explore, and skyrim is a bigger game then oblivion was and there 3 HUGE dlcs so why wouldnt that be possible? and not to mention the fact that something like that hasnt happened before is a reason to do it, why stick with repetitivness dont get me wrong i like the dlc’s the way they do them in the fallout games, but why not go with something new, and adding new provinces means hundreds of more hours to play so it would increase replay and continuel value of the game why not? also just because you go to cyradill doesnt mean you side with them, you played oblvion in syradil does that mean you liked the imperials? no not really. also ya cool dragon riding a fun mod to download…what about console players asshole? why not bring things pc players can do onto consoles,
Vash - April 17, 2012 9:31 pm
you do know the howl werewolf thing started in morrowind right. though im also inclined to delieve this is a fake to. much of it make seance like the fact the muc of the land mass og morrowind and cyrodil are already programed into the game. if you take down the walls you can walk straight to the White Gold Tower, or red mountin. the mane reason i believe this to be a fake is that it dosent fit bathesdas MO. they these are all thing that can and already exciting mods. though as a person that prefers to play on a console i do hope that all of this is true. if all these this came out for the Xbox along with the things that were developed during there “Jam session week” the game WOULD BE AMAZING!!!!!!!
Hu Jintao - April 18, 2012 2:31 am
Patrick McMurry,
I funding this myself with all the money stolen from China, I assure you the news are true
Hu Jintao, president of china
(LOL)
Seriously now (no I’m not Hu Jintao)
1. no one will pay for horse armor. that’s idiotic. and it’s already done on PC. part of a bigger pack , yes. otherwise it add insult to injury.
you would pay 6$ for something that cost 6$ to make and could reap 10 million $
seriously, come to my place, I got junk to sell , and you seem the ultimate fish to catch. I ‘ll sell you my house at 10x it’s value
2. dragon
what a moron you are. everybody and their little sisters want to ride dragons. they’ll be there if you want them. don’t want them, then just keep killing them. don’t bother us with your nonsense
3. provinces. he’s listing THREE DIFFERENT DLC – 1 province each
are you dislectic or something
at the size skyrim is (not that big) provinces are totally doable and excessively profitable even if only 50% of the skyrim owner buy the xpack. but their chances of selling to everyone, even if it was 30$ each, is much higher than – let’s say – horse armor
over 50% of the production cost is engine, sound, music.
the extra art and level design per province could be as little as 20% of the cost.
4. werewolves.
oh but no, you are so wrong. what we got with skyrim is werewolves that don’t want to be werewolves. and a certain type of werewolves. did you ever played bloodmoon (morrowind xpack). I would love to see that redone with today’s tech. that was a real thrill.
5. only sane thing you said was to have some warfare in hammerfell.
dragon make sense to fly over hammerfell because of the deadly desert.
only other option is camels and implementing a thirst mecanism.
6. how is a war in cyrodil too complicated
mount & blade got full scale warfare with morrowind era graphics
skyrim already had battles (forts)
I don’t see any feaseability issue
7. kim un jung my pall want to play multiplayer skyrim with me (hu jintao)
just kidding ! 8P
ninja - April 18, 2012 4:36 am
In christopher paolini’s inheritance cycle there’s dragons riders and the dragon’s are smarter than all the other races but i agree with everyting else you said
Elder Scrolls - April 18, 2012 8:14 pm
2 DLC’s for Morrowind took you to far away places.
Bloodmoon DLC took you to a Nordic island called Solstheim.
Tribunal DLC took you to a city in the sky called Mournhold.
smashndash - April 19, 2012 5:26 pm
I agree with the lack of athenticity of this so called “leak” for just about the same reasons. However, there is much truth to it as well. If you pay attention to the story line, the only thing that seems “out of wack” is the Riders of Hammerfell. But, it has already been confirmed that it is a true dlc to come. Mounts?? Um, personally, I doubt there will be any extra mounts other than the dragons. That would just demean the game. Though, update 1.5 will include several “patch-ins” to include more exicutions and kill cams for magic and bows.
Now, EVERYONE knows that Morrowind was just a matter of time. Cyridil, maybe. Seems likly considering that the story in Skyrim raged Elder Scrolls players because the Empire seemed like a weak little Pichu to the Thalmor High Elf pricks. So I would vouch 100% that there will be retribution for the Thalmors actions soon enough. It’s a must.
In conclusion, expect larger than previous DLC content than before. Expect new armors,weapons,kill-cams, magic, and Dragons. Oh, lest I forget, EPIC story-line add ons.
Just a bit of rage, Skyrim doesnt need the Empire! The Nords will be the ones to lead the new world.
F*** the empire:d
BionicVertebrae - April 24, 2012 7:58 pm
Mathiu the Imperial Dragonborn takes offense to that raging! jk
LordAntares - April 19, 2012 6:19 pm
I agree with some of ur points Mammoths and wolves and sabre cats are definetely not going to be ridable maybe bears but unlikely. The dlcs will bring u to a part of a new province not all of it. The dragons only appeared like two weeks ago before u were almost executed and by then it was only alduin so maybe the dragon riding will be a dlc but only after the game has been completed and only with oodaving. but horse armour and houses defineltely added because they did that with oblivion. ending the war will be an awesome dlc and there was leaked footage of the dlc and cyrodill plus a bigger companions werewolf questline would be great as it was way too short
BionicVertebrae - April 24, 2012 8:02 pm
I really like the new houses idea, but maybe something like the Ranger Ridge mod instead of an actual house. I’m a fan of hideouts over houses and I thought it was really cool. Sady, I play PS3 because I don’t have the money for a Skyrim worthy pc.
Isley - April 19, 2012 9:11 pm
you could steal an egg from a dragon and raise it over like twenty quests and then it’ll be ready to ride you could even choose the type of egg you steal it all seems possible
fuckitall - April 20, 2012 2:24 pm
you went to there land, so your on their side derp
Tyero - April 20, 2012 2:58 pm
Im with patrick on this one. He’s not saying that none of these things will happen or that they are impossible. But being the big bethesda fan I am and having played Oblivion a lot, as well as Skyrim, and Fallout, some of these things are wayyyy too far. Elder Scrolls trys to not be a WOW. Part of the reason we never had dragons before. The point is some of this stuff like he points out is way to out there and too much for Bethesda. They def are not going to take us to Morrowind, Cyrodil, and Hammerfall, have us taming ligtning dragons, and riding wolves.
Marlon - April 23, 2012 4:46 pm
Shutup us console players dont have mods and if theres even A spark of hope that i can even maybe ride an elictricity shouting then im going to cling to it

There is always one twat to ruin everything for fans. They state the impossibilities, and compare it to their retarded pets. Dude no one cares what you think. If this DLC is legit cool, if it is not then the fucker who said the DLC for skyrim is real can go off himself. Pipe down go home, rub one off. Its a fucking game, get a fucking life ” Lore Master “.
Matt - April 24, 2012 2:10 pm

Edward Martin-Smith - April 26, 2012 1:34 am
1) have you never played fallout 3? there were 4 dlcs and 4 new regions. This isn’t much of a challenge for bethesda
Skeptic - April 26, 2012 1:02 pm
you are correct on multiple points but in Oblivion you get to go to the province of Morrowind thanks to a rather large dlc. The mounts seem reasonable, ‘cept the dragons but i do believe they have something up their sleeve, I mean after all this is Bethesda we’re talking about here. The horse armor got me excited, maybe they’ll also make them faster too. The Thalmor war and the rebellion is confusing yes, but I will try to clear that confusion. The Stormcloak Rebellion is just interested in Skyrim. They don’t care about anything else, while the Empire has a whole country to protect (with the exception of Skyrim, depending on if you joined the Empire or not) so if the Aldmeri Dominion, who have by the way threatened to turn me into boots, attacks again you’ll be forced to fight them or else they will come back to Skyrim and Skyrim doesn’t have that good of a chance against a whole army of elves. Hope that clears things up, looking forward to finding out if these are faked or not

how can you say its a fake bethesda has relised info released date and there is a video on you tube new mounts there is a rid able mount called webster he is a frost bite spider
Alex - May 7, 2012 2:42 pm
pretty sure all the 4 main dlc’s for Fallout New Vegas went to new provinces and the games are made by sister companies sooooo……..
Remimgton - May 7, 2012 8:40 pm
I love how the guy who got bashed the most was right :3 u did done good Patrick. But yah, a dragon riding wouldn’t fit with the elders scrolls lore… And new mounts would be nice as long as they are just different types of horses…
michael - January 5, 2013 10:28 pm
ok i dragonborn dlc you tame dragons and mounts thats where he is liaing but dragonborn also adds a new land dip shit
Stephanie - April 14, 2013 10:41 pm
your comment is invalid we have the dragonborn DLC that takes us to morrowind
Patrick McMurry - March 22, 2012 12:00 pm
What the hell is your problem? I am just providing the evidence for why I think it is fake and never attacked you at all.
I find riding your enemies to be absolutely ridiculous, especially if one of these so-called ridable enemies is small than my german shepherd…I would sure like to see a video of a high elf riding a wolf…
I am a fan of lore and challenge in video games, that is why morrowind is still my favorite elder scrolls game and dark souls is my favorite game currently. I still find dragon riding to be ridiculous, but a dragon riding group in hammer fell is just implausible, dragons come from skyrim and are a problem for skyrim. Having a dragon riding group in skyrim is plausible (though I still find it to be childish).
Thalmor dlc sounds interesting, but i was saying that it shouldn’t take place in cyrodiil, but rather hammerfell where the fight is going on, and in that province you could choose what side. Why would the storm cloaks fight the thalmer in cyrodiil after just fighting a war with the empire?
Also, if you passed the 4th grade and were not too busy trying to insult me you would of read that I wrote i think they will be using the province of hammerfell. And the shivering isles is not a province, so that does not have anything to do with what I am saying…I just don’t think they will go to three separate provinces, especially p laces we have already been to, but you never know. I am neither for or against going to different provinces, I just don’t think they will go to three when they didn’t go to any the two and probably four games before.
And about your thoughts:
1. I agree
2. I would like an arena, but the companions are the fighter’s guild, just like the wizard’s college is the mage’s guild
3. That would be a cool easter egg, but the riders should be in skyrim, not in hammer fell where dragons don’t live.
4. There is one artifact per daedric prince, so I don’t think there should be more. Just add more unique items, that are not ‘artifacts’.
5. Sure, i liked how there was a lot more variety in morrowind.
6. Never experienced this…
7-8. Get a computer to get mods, they are not going to add in adult-themed mods for a few horny guys…
9. Interesting, I like the idea of having more than just collecting mo net from your spouse after marriage.
10. if you knew anything about the lore you would know that morrowind is the only province with slavery, and I am pretty sure that practice may have ended by this game.
Michael - April 4, 2012 5:04 am
Spoiler alert here, Patrick.
You ride a dragon in Skyrim itself.
Just thought I’d let you know, since it doesn’t seem like you’ve played the game.
Eddard - April 11, 2012 7:04 am
But not in combative way.This is to prevent you becoming a hugely overpowered player. Practically nothing but another dragoon would pose a problem if you were riding a dragon.
devinem24 - April 17, 2012 8:11 am
dude its not like dragon riding is going to be handed to lvl 1 players….im sure there will be restricitions and requirements to be able to ride them, honostly after doing most things in the game its cool to just ride a dragon freely, and im sure the dragon isnt going to enjoy flying all day, maybe have to rest at certain times….and die? then you have to get a new one, horses arent free, and im sure dragons wont be either and probly more expensive
LordAntares - April 19, 2012 6:27 pm
emm i agree that the dragon riding thing in hammerfell is very stupid but dragons werent just a problem in skyrim they ruled the world around the dragon age its most likely they are are all over thamriel and if the stormcloaks won over the empire they would go to cyrodill take control over it and kill all the thalmor
tyler c - March 22, 2012 5:00 pm
hey matthew you know shiv isles aint a province right?
Drizzt Do'Urden - March 27, 2012 10:27 pm
Are you retarted Raxos the werewolf DLC for morrowind was great and that was after I played oblivion year after year waiting for the next ES that was one of the best things when I got the goty version mabey they will have something similar to it but modified and expanded upon. I’m not saying any of this is true or not but don’t let the homo twilight stuff lead to hate on the lore of the elder scrolls. If Bethesda has made it work with morrowind and skyrim I’m fairly certain they can make it even better. And plus to anyone who says the morrowind dlc sounds fake I recall one of the shield brothers say he’s killed just about 1 of everything in skyrim and is thinking of traveling to morrowind next. Perhaps Bethesda will get creative and your character will travel with him to morrowind for the first time and you and him get insnared in an interesting quest related to unknown werewolf guild halls who will only accept already infected lycanthropes. Bethesda could make something of it. And I’m sure there are all sorts of holes in my logic and idea but that’s why it’s just a rough idea of what could happen.
Dan - April 1, 2012 4:00 pm
Daggerfall was the whole continent, I believe. I never played it. Also at the end of the manin quest
**SPOILERS**
Paarthunax leads a bunch of Dragons away from Skyrim, Dragons that stopped following Alduin, to assume that this was the first time something like this happened in thousands of years is quite close minded.
With the mounts in mind you seem to neglect the fact this is a fantasy series a series were wraiths and ghost and wizards and dragons and skeletons and zombies and demons roam free. It’s not out of the question to imagine a larger – ridable – breed of wolf is out there, it could be a homage to ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ series – for you that don’t know anything of it, there’s a breed of wolves known as Direwolves, which can grow to the size of houses.
However since these rumours are exactly what all rumours are, conjecture. We can’t prove or disprove any of it; unless one of you work for Bethesda. So while we’re on what we’d like to see, etc…I want legendary creatures. Like New Vegas had the legendary Deathclaw, etc. Something that even if you were maxed stats in your character and could kill most things in one hit you would stills struggle to contend with. starting with that fortress sized Mudcrab from the Game Jam footage.
I also wouldn’t mind something else to be done with Dragon Souls, after you’ve unlocked all shout the just end up accumulating – some ideas I considered was some form of merchant scenario, like a ,age that harvests different kinds of souls for magic and he’ll purchase them from you or making it possible to embed them into weapons and armour (perhaps to make weapons and armour more specifically for combat against dragons ie. Dragonsbane).
I’d also like to see the scales and bones being used to create dragon weapons as well as armour (coupling this with the last idea they could make it so it’s only the smithed dragon scale/bone items that can hold the raw power of a dragons soul. After all, as far as I’m aware Daedric armour can actually be maxed out to be better than dragon armour, so this would give the dragon armour an extra edge.
Finally, with how much I enjoyed the civil war storyline (even though I haven’t actually got round to completing it) I would like to see more like it. Especially with the Thalmor, continue the storyline on to take down the Aldmeri Dominion, as it seems to me to be they are the only villains who don’t get their just desserts.
That’s just a few from my wish list…
Whostine - March 22, 2012 5:06 pm
All i got to say is “the fuck?”
Oh and that I really hope that this info is true, mostly due to the fact that ive been waiting forever for a damn hint of DLC content. But i have to agree with Patrick on the fact that alot of the stuff they are saying makes no fucking sense, my Nord weighs like 300lbs I’m sure that if he tried to ride a wolf then god have mercy on that wolfs soul.
I could see that the new quest lines are a bit out of the norm too, considering that a werewolf quest-line just doesn’t make much sense. (maybe as a side quest but, the main?)
Something else you have to look at is that if this guy is real then you have to see that he was let go on the pre-production of the second DLC and the first DLC seemed pretty solid (excluding animal riding). And since he was let go in the second one then maybe he doesn’t know exactly how its gonna tun out and maybe he’s wrong about some of the stuff.
That is my opinion on this whole situation
Michael - March 22, 2012 6:34 pm
I also think dragon riding guild to be somewhat far fetched by way of lore, maybe a single guy who has been rumored to know how to tame dragon by way of spells or just kicking the crap out of it. But it would still be fun to ride something other than a horse. Also i must point out that shivering isles is not much a a province as it is actually a deadric plane for sheogorath / jygalagg. If a dlc went back to morrowind i would pay any cost morrowind had a different feel than any other es game it felt surreal nix hounds, cliff racers, bull netch so many creatures and even the plants seemed truly fantastical However i do not think it is likely that that Bethesda would go back to something they have already done. But i may be wrong.
Raxos - March 23, 2012 12:14 am
That is the stupidest thing I read today, it just so happens that Bethesda fired someone (Which they din’t) and that someone decided to throw out spoilers (Which he is not allowed to do) which seem incredibly like the stuff a 8-12 year old fan would make up!
1. Dragons are not mindless lizards, they have a vocabulary that amazed even me, and would not allow some random dude/dudette to ride them.
2. Dragons only live in Skyrim.
3. Riding spiders and wolves is a stupid idea.
4. This whole “spoiler” is a stupid idea.
5. The Aldmeri dominion only control Elsweyr, Summerset Island and Morrowind, Cyrodiil is the capital of the Empire, it’s like Hitler living in London or Washington :O
6. Enough werewolves, kids.
7. As for the credibility of this topic, I can confirm nothing. – Good man.
Don’t believe this.
Alex - March 23, 2012 12:04 pm
It would actually be like Hitler living in Germany, one of the countries he conquered. Learn your lore.
ES - March 31, 2012 4:16 pm
idiot….. its a game, let people dream; who cares if it isnt real it gets people thinking about what could be it store who cares if your part of the 1% who think its childish. also new mounts would mean new abilites ie spiders can climb walls for a period of time and freeze enimies with webs. also you make it sound like dragons are real…. there not… so technically they are mindless lizards. and for everyone else they said they had huge things that toped all the other games in store for skyrim so traveling to other lands would be huge and amazing oh and dont mess with mike dick if it took you 5 min to read that then you are brain dead and should seek help. oh and the term dragon rider is used in numerouse books trademarking that would be like trademaking dragons or vampires its something you cant trademark because its been used as long as people can remember
majoca@hotmail.co.uk - April 25, 2012 11:48 am
How can you say there are 1% of people who think dragon riding is childish? where are your statistics. I am sorry to ifnorm you but it is more possible for you to be an idiot.
Elders scrolls has always had a balance between believable and fantasy. Adding things to the realistic and grungy game skyrim that breaks that style would ruin the flow of the game. Dragon riding will not be included, why? The game will not be able to render the landscape fast enough on consoles for the dragon flying about. What would you fight? mid air combat is just stupid for a game like Elder Scrolls it is not HAWX. Yes in the story you ride a dragon to a ruin, however it was a deal, a dragon in skyrim is an intelligent being, taming one would just be stupid. How would you fight? your sword is hardly long enough to hit anything of the top of it, Dragons arent tanks you dont grab their horns to make them shout fire/frost breath so using them as a weapon is just daft. Other mounts would also not make sense, again would be game breaking, they would have to add other NPC’s that could ride spiders and wolves.
The other provinces are a good idea and are plausible, wether we return to morrowin or Cyrodil is another question.
Cloud - December 8, 2012 1:08 am
Boy do you look stupid, what with the dragon mounts in Dragonborn. Haha.
Buttholelickers - April 7, 2012 1:36 pm
First of all, retard, Hitler didn’t conquer Germany. Second, the Thalmor didn’t conquer Cyrodiil, the Empire fought them to a standstill, and then both sides agreed to the White-Gold Concordant. The Empire still controls Cyrodiil.
Eddard - April 11, 2012 7:11 am

PopsikL - April 1, 2012 11:04 am
I agree with the dragon riding, although i would be pretty awesome flying one.
My 5 things i think Bethesda should put in the DLC is
1) Riding on unicorns.
2) Definatly more armor
3) Rape dungeons
4) Sex and family
5) More quest lines cause i have finished them and have no idea what the fuck to do

Actually, dragons don’t only live in Skyrim. There are dragons living back in Akavir, have been for the entirety of the Elder Scrolls series. They haven’t had any incentive to do anything. It’s just Alduin coming back that’s a big deal.
Timmy The Tooth Fairy - April 16, 2012 5:10 pm
Lol Raxos. What a coincidence, because what you typed was the most stupid thing I’ve read today.
1. Dragons arent not mindless lizards, because they’re not real.
2. Dragons don’t live in skyrim, they live in your imagination.
3. Riding spiders and wolves isint a stupid idea, its just impossible. Spiders are usually only the size of the webbed foot that I’m sure you have.
4. The spoiler isint a stupid idea, you’re just a stupid person.
5. The only dominion the Aldmeri control is the lower right region of your brain, because they only exist in your head, because theyre not real.
6. Werewolves arent real, kid.
7. Nobody asked for you to respond on this topic anyways. Speaking for the sole purpose of trying to make yourself look important=fail.

I personally wouldn’t mind having new mounts besides the traditional horse. Riding a dragon would be epic, making combat exceedingly more fun. Any other mommy would be great in my opinion (except a punk ass wolf). there is a possibility for this information to be true, especially with the footage from game jam 2011 showing bethesda doing everything this guy said in Skyrim well as far as the mounts and new spells.
David Dugan - March 27, 2012 7:52 pm
It doesn’t look professionally written, and i am pretty sure the term ‘Dragon Rider’ is copyrighted by the Eragon book series, and even if it isn’t then i don’t think that Besthesda would use a name so similar to another franchise…
Greg - March 28, 2012 5:11 am
Okay
1. You already ride a dragon in skyrim during the main quest. The dragon is also at your beck and call so would it be that far fetched to be able to ride a dragon?
2. I could see the option of riding a wolf as a small elf only thing were as the saber cat is a nord mount.
3.As one person said in Fallout almost every dlc takes place in a new, different state. Hell one even took place in space.
4.The people who make the dlc’s are going through forums like this one to find out what the players want. Instead of bitching about what’s possible and what’s not get over it.
5.They said they killed all the dragons in skyrim and what is the graybeards leader? A dragon. So could it be that afew dragons escaped skyrim before the rest were killed and allied themselves with these “Dragon Rider”?
Think about all of this.

Uhh, Fallout never had a DLC in space. If you are referring to Old World Blues that was in a crater.
Luke - April 11, 2012 11:31 pm
Mothership Zeta in Fallout 3 was in “space” but it was more of a close quarters type dlc as it took place inside a spaceship. Although Bethesda did say that they would make large scale content so something similar (closed environment) doesnt correspond with their initial thoughts.
Nick - April 12, 2012 1:38 am
Mothership Zeta, idiot. Fallout 3.

Sheumas MacGregor - March 29, 2012 9:15 pm
I don’t truly believe this, but I’ll be happy if mounted combat comes in because I’ve had too many cases where I saber cats have killed my horse while i’m riding it and then finished me off at low levels. The dragon riding I could see possible if it was Odaviing, because he conceded to the power of the dovahkiin’s thu’um and swore to help him. As for the Morrowind and Cyrodil DLC I’ have my doubts because Bethesda hasn’t confirmed it.
Just my opinion and please don’t rage at me for it.
marcus - March 29, 2012 10:53 pm
i have a couple of points
1 you do get a dragon in the main story and he agrees to obey you so riding him would be pretty cool
2 make daeadra in doungeons and encounters in the wild sorry for spelling
3 how bout being able to get hair cuts or dieing your hair
4 being able to die your aromor
5 and another thing is the battles are way to short how bout a battle where you have an army of like 100 or so people and you fight another army
6 finaly sometimes i just dont want to join either side and take over skyrim for my self why cant i

All of this is a joke, most of the content the guy mentioned are jokes Bethesda have repeatedly not put in there games intentionally, like the different forms of mounts, use of abilities while riding. Whereas dragon riding was never planned in Skyrim. If anyone has been playing the elderscrolls series as long as I have, they would see all this as the joke that it is.
Eddard - April 11, 2012 7:13 am
The only guy talking sense. Dragon riding is the stupidest thing i have ever heard.

Kcrazy monkey - March 31, 2012 10:33 pm
It would be amazing if they used skyrim as the base game for the whole of tamriel, having each section as an expansion. The rumors about new mounts sounds awesome and the wolf predicament could be easily sorted with a quest with a giant wolf or king lol saved cats would be good aswell as in the oblivion books it goes on about the khajits kin that they ride as mounts ( they are discribed similar the the sabres) anyway I just can’t wait for it all
Bobby McFuqyu - April 10, 2012 10:48 am
Oh man, if they unlocked EVERY SINGLE province I would never stop playing.
The only thing I want in DLCs is a larger open world, tougher enemies, more items.
Now if they gave you all the stuff from Oblivion, the Shivering Isles, AND Morrowind you can bet no one will leave their room.
McBraas - April 10, 2012 1:06 pm

Eddard - April 11, 2012 7:45 am
It took 4 years to make one province. And you think there going to make three more as DLC. YOU fucking moron.
DeadZenith - April 12, 2012 3:11 am
they are already pre rendered. on pc noo clip and fly towards cyrodill hammerfell or morrowind and you will see landmarks and low res terrains.
Timgrez - April 1, 2012 1:09 am
Ok, let me start by saying that I absolutely love Skyrim. And the Elder Scrolls lore is a nerd’s fantasy come true. I love how involved the storylines go and how deep the history can take you. Well done all around. But you junkies take the nerddom to depths I’m physically unable to follow you to. Especially when you start viciously attacking each other in these comments. Maybe, it’s me? Maybe I’m just not fanboy enough to contend with the hardcore Scroll junkies? Maybe I just get too much sex? Maybe I’ll never know. The pressures waaaay too much down here for surface life to handle.

Harry - April 1, 2012 10:20 am
As much as I’d like this story to be true, it screamed ‘fake’ at me when I read it.
1) I agree that it would be very unlikely if the dlc fetured three seperate provinces because then Bethesda would be reducing the amount of areas that could be featured in future Elder Scrolls games. Also, it would take ages to make three provinces of equal or greater size to skyrim.
2) In many interviews, Todd Howard expressed his reluctance in having dragon riding, so I doubt he would base his whole first expansion pack on it. And if he was reluctant for players to be able to ride dragons, then I highly doubt he would make am expansion pack that allows people to ride wolves and bears.
3) Why would they make dlc where you go to Cyrodiil when that was the setting of the second most recent Elder Scrolls game. Also, I think it would be very difficult to make Thalmor war dlc because it would have to tke into account if you’d done the civil war quest line, and what side you chose. Previous dlcs like the Shivering Isles allowed you to start a whole new quest line regardless of what quest you’ve started, but a Thalmor dlc would not be able to do this.
4) Finally, the point of the message sent initially seems to be a person getting revenge on Bethesda for firing him, as Bethesda like to keep conten abou their games secret. So why would he not want to spoil the game for us,when clerly all he cares bou is getting revenge on Bethesda?
Dan - April 1, 2012 4:19 pm
It wouldn’t really be that difficult. For one the civil war would be separate from a war against the Thalmor. There may be a point were re-enforcements are require and your completion of the Civil war allows you to travel to Skyrim and recruit soldiers, but they are still both independent scenarios.
Eddard - April 11, 2012 7:16 am
All Bethesda DLCs are playable from the moment you set foot out of the starter dungeon. They are unlikely to change this by including a DLC where it is required that you complete the Civil War questline.
Think about it kids.
Luke - April 11, 2012 11:50 pm
There’s the exception of the Broken Steel dlc for Fallout 3 where the events of the dlc take place only after the main storyline is completed. These events are also affected by decisions made during the main storyline, meaning that Bethesda could do something similar with the Thalmor questline.
I for one will be glad to bring the battle right to those power hungry elves.
Rob Mayou - April 1, 2012 2:45 pm
One interesting side of this is the province of Hammerfell. I remember a few years ago when the first news story broke re Elder Scrolls 5 that Bethesda had registered the domain name Skyrim and from then on it was obvious that that would be where Elder Scrolls 5 would be set, this obviously turned out to be true. At the same time as this the same story, I dont remember how, included that Elder Scrolls 5 would be set in both Skyrim and Hammerfell so I was quite surprised on first announcement that it would only be Skyrim. In that regard an expansion to include Hammerfell would make perfect sense. As for the rest, as long as we can go back to Cyrodiil (even though its supposed to be in ruins now) and free it from the Aldmeri Dominion I’ll be happy.
ONE OF HAM - April 2, 2012 1:40 am
I don’t think this is very likely, in fact, I think this is completely fake… Some asshole kid looking for attention decided to post his stupid ass mod idea as a possible DLC to gain attention. The idea of riding a dragon is good in theory, but bad in execution; first of all, the game is divided up into a grid, and each grid square loads seperalty from one another, if you are flying 1000 feet in the air, you can see the whole map. While that is not a bad thing in itself, towns are their own INTERIOR cell, if you go inside of the town wall from the outside without going through the door (I’m sure some of you have found a way to lag in there at least once), its barren on the inside because you haven’t loaded the cell. If you could fly a dragon, you could land inside of a town and not load its interior cell.
Plus the whole thing about going to a whole new province is just stupid, it would take too long, unless bethesda is using the community-built hammerfell mod created for Oblivion and just updated the graphics, but its still a dumb idea because they would be eliminating one of the two provinces that will most likely be the next elder scrolls game, Hammerfell and High Rock (because apart they are too small to make a game out of, but together they are the perfect size, and taking the biggest one, Hammerfell and making it a DLC would leave the sliver High Rock by itself and too small to do anything with).
I have a LOT more that i could say about this but im tired of typing…
Jonah - April 2, 2012 5:46 pm
You’re totally likely about the interior cell thing, but if they were to make Hammerfell they could modify it and make it so only non buildings/ dungeons (that you could only enter by a door) are single cells, plus the area would be smaller so it might not be that unlikely, however I do agree that the whole idea of dragon riding and whatnot sounds farfetched.
Eddard - April 11, 2012 7:18 am
God you are so stupid.
They cannot “just modify it”
It is not their choice to make towns/cities have seperate cells.
It stops the game from crashing
Think before you type children, or you could end up like this guy.
Ned - April 18, 2012 1:56 am
Actually, adding additional land mass wouldn’t necessarily add any more stress to the game, as the gamebryo engine loads cells individually, the map would never exist as a whole at any given moment.
As for replaying things in the past, they are entirely different now. Cyrodiil and Morrowind are both entirely changed to say the least.
I agree that Hammerfall being realized as a side DLC seems unlikely, when it could serve very well as a stand alone game. And I would hate to see them burn such a history-rich region as High Rock on a probably far smaller DLC.
Mounting dragons is a brain-dead idea though, completely impractical. But being able to ride other land animals besides horses is fairly feasible.
Personally, I’m hoping for some arrow-crafting system on the side, though I realize this will be unlikely.
Ideally, they should be able to weave a good story with out bringing in old regions, a lost civilization of Dwemer could be just beneath our feet after all.
Jonah - April 2, 2012 5:38 pm
The idea of dragon riders is a little far fetched. A possibility, but not a probability. I mean it’s so much easier for a gamer to want something and picture it then it is for a company to make it. Although the idea of a new province isn’t far fetched at all Bethesda has made DLC’s with new provinces, on old tech, imagine now? I mean Shivering Isles, Point Lookout, The Pitt? Seriously I’m surprised anyone would call the idea of going to Hammerfell far fetched at all. The Mounts and all that is debatable. Since Elder Scrolls IV Bethesda has only been upping the anty so I wouldn’t be too surprised.
Eddard - April 11, 2012 7:21 am
DLCs which take you to a different province (Shivering Isles, The Pitt, Honest Hearts) have always been very far removed from the original game, so much to the point where anything you do in the Shivering Isles has no bearing on what you do in the real game.
TrueDovah - April 3, 2012 9:53 pm
Ok lets take a look at some of the things we saw in the game jam video..
Dragon mounts – Just randomly putting that into the game would seem very odd and out-of-place, They would need to add it by putting a story behind it reasons why we can now ride dragons.. This rumour addresses their thoughts on that if looked at CORRECTLY.
Lycanthropy skill tree (werewolves) – This too would be very odd and random to just put out there, And apparently This Morrowind DLC would be featuring some sort of Werewolf storyline, there’s a connection there.. And from past experiences with Bethesda’s DLC, usually level caps are raised, making the lycanthropy skill tree more plausible.
As for going to Cyrodiil… Its up in the air. I mean it makes a little sense seeing how the Imperials are being used by the Thalmor. And the Imperials are from Cyrodiil.. i dont know… but with everything else connecting to what has already been shown directly from Bethesda i dont see it being to far fetched.
specchap - April 4, 2012 7:02 am
Dunno if I speak for anyone else, but I for one would like some quests more directly related to the disappearing dwarves. Maybe a ‘last surviving dwarf’ thing similar to ME3. The idea of a lost civilization should give Bethesda a shit ton to be able to work with, more than the pithy quests in markarth and keening. Also, if keening could be made into a more formidable weapon, with the listed enchantments actually usable, and if sunder could make an appearance, that would be really cool
Luke - April 12, 2012 12:04 am
The idea of a last survivor seems interesting but not plausible since all the dwarves vanished into thin air (literally). There should be some investigation into it with quests based on finding artifacts or something, but it doesnt seem plausible for a full dlc. Still possible though.
RM - April 4, 2012 8:30 pm
but my name in the game is eragon so there is already a dragon rider with the name eragon
elderscrollsloreguy49543 - April 4, 2012 10:08 pm
I agree with all the people that have been saying more artifacts needed.i have 4 that i would like to come back in DLC.These are 1.Umbra(It cannot come back i will explain why below.It would be good to find away come back though)2.Goldbrand 3.Sunder(the tool used to tap into the heart of Lorkan along with Keening and wraithgaurd from morrowind DLC hinted!!!.4.wratihgaurd (also from morrowind keening and sunder with wraithgaurd especially duel wielded would be very powerful)Ive heard a rumour that goldbrand will return in the last dlc if it is set in cyrodill!!!Because according to UESP wiki Emporer Titus Mede (the one from skyrim)used this to take back the imperial city from the Thalmor in The Great War between the Imperial Legion and The Aldermeri Dominion.Possible new artifact in DLC???The reason Umbra cannot come back is because it was destroyed by prince attrebus mede in the elderscrolls novels i will not say anymore for spoilers sake..
Luke - April 12, 2012 12:11 am
The Umbra could be brought back because remember Mehrune’s Razor was broken into pieces and reforged by Mehrune’s Dagon himself. Not exactly sure how, but something similar may be possible with the Umbra.
Farkas - April 5, 2012 4:55 am
I’ve been playing the elder scrolls series since I was a little wee lad and it has come to my understanding that since skyrim came out there has been a lot of newcomers that think they know there stuff. I has just a few points to point out here:
1. If they brought out an add on which they was in a new province then there wouldn’t be much point bringing other games out (since each game is set in a different province and they all interlink)
2. A wolf mount would be awesome. It’s not meant to be realistic I mean if they can have dragons then why not a highly trained wolf which can carry a 300lb bloke?

Mazékial - April 5, 2012 1:36 pm
Another problem with the Lyncanthropy tree/Questline: What about the poor souls like me who stupidly cured their Lyncanthropy? Then if this DLC is made, an entire Questline and perk tree becomes locked from my character (because you can’t become a werewolf again; heck the Cursed Ring of Hircine doesn’t even transform you), and if I want to do it I have to start over with a new character from scratch, square one, etc.
I don’t think Bethesda would want to be spammed with hate mail from the more immature people who would suffer from this…not saying I would, but from seeing the 8-year-old kids who somehow convince their parents to let them play ES games, I’d expect as much from them…
KawazoKaito - April 9, 2012 7:37 pm
I think if such a questline wuld come they might just give you a second chance. Just what I think, don’t hate meh I only played oblivion and skyrim so i’m kinda a noob in elder scrolls lore Q~Q
Zach - April 5, 2012 8:41 pm
I think all of you need to just calm down and see that it’s not impossible, or hard, to add another province to skyrim. No they have never REALY added another bordering province before, but they have in the first or second elder scrolls have all of tamriel in one game. So why can’t they add a few more to skyrim? Plus, with all the aggrevation about all the snow and tipicle tundra land, skyrim MAY add another region, but proboly not JUST for this reason. And also, lets not forget about the morrowind gate, the white-gold tower and and the presence of redgaurd soldiers in skyrim. They didn’t put those places there for no reason because they don’t add a lot of special looks to skyrim and there not Easter eggs so they must be there for a reason. And for the people who say the alkyry were there for a mission, yea your right but why would Bethesda put them there for 1 mission only? These are all proboly dlc.
But there is one thing that might prove these to be fake, since Bethesda posted that there will proboly be only 2 dlc’s so then all of them are fake, one of them are fake, or there will be 3 expansions after all.
But the small add ons will proboly be real since Bethesda showed a video about the little things they could add on.
Eddard - April 11, 2012 7:53 am
If you had actually played the first and second games you would realise the idiocy of your first statement. They were practically 2-d and had randomly loading landscape, they were nothing like Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim.
The Morrowind gate is a nifty interesting item, there also a path up the side of it leading to a troll with a flag and a dwarvern helmet. Am I to take it that this means the imminent DLC features half-troll half dwemer invading from Cyrodiil.
The Alikr are a random quest, they are not little clue inserted into Skyrim for clever individuals such as you, so you can expertly guess the location of the next DLC.
Patrick McMurry - April 6, 2012 3:46 am
i have played the game, though i never finished the main story. But I watched my brother finish it. If I recall correctly you ride a dragon for a specific instance, not a regular mount. And i do not find that ridiculous, I find a group of REDGUARDS in HAMMERFELL forming a guild to ride dragons that live in SKYRIM.
Skyrim was a major disappointment for me, sure there was a lot to do, but it was so poorly executed. The Imperial vs. Stormcloak story was the most disappointing thing for me; it started strong with the whiterun battle and went downhill with constant ‘kill all the enemy’ in the fort battles and ended with an equally unimpressive battle of solitude/winterhold. the main quest, though better still lacked the story element and drive of the other games. Sure dragons were cool, but I mean the story is just killing dragons with a few things on the side.
Oblivion did better with story, though the oblivion gates were repetitive and the support you receive is below expectations, it still has a fairly gripping story of pretty epic proportions. (Emperor assassinations, cult uprising, apocalypse theme, larger than life situation).
ANd my favorite game, Morrowind far exceeded both of those with its story. Sure the story is a little hard to follow, but the constant dreams and mysterious prophecy just make for a wonderfully executed story with far more enjoyable content than Skyrim. ANd the dlc for Morrowing had equally amazing and complex stories (though fairly challenging).
But I am going off subject, my main point is that I refuse to believe that this company will continue down this road where they sacrifice the complexity of a deeply enjoyable world (complex political houses, religious groups to follow, and many better done guilds) and sacrificing enjoyable and compelling plot for pure content; and if these rumors are true it seems they are continuing down this road which is most unfortunate.
KawazoKaito - April 9, 2012 7:41 pm
I thought oblivion was kinda boring :O. Those Oblivion gates really got on my nerves. Killing dragons is more fun
. Then again. I would like new enemies cuz the enemies there are now. Are getting boooooring. (My opinion though)
Eddard - April 11, 2012 8:01 am
Sadly people are more concerned with riding dragons and going to different provinces, fighting elves, when they’ve only been in Skyrim for 4 months.
Skyrim has spawned a new generation of Elder Scrolls players who insist they know best and then make stupid comments like “they have in the first or second elder scrolls have all of tamriel in one game. So why can’t they add a few more to skyrim?”
Make me sick.
boosa - April 11, 2012 9:15 pm
Just to let everyone know, Eddard is the king of The Elder Scrolls universe and what he says goes. Don’t have an oppinion, people. His will over-rule yours.
I’ll tell you what I’m sick of, Eddard. I’m sick of people like you who think that just because you’ve sank hundreds of hours into a video game series like TES you have this universal power to spit on the people who just started playing it. That you can say “Riding dragons? Fucking stupid.” It may not be stupid to others, Eddard. Maybe there are some people working at Bethseda who might not think that it’s stupid. Here’s an idea. Go apply for a job at Bethseda as a game designer or a story writer and make all the stupid lore perserving dlc you want. Oh wait. You can’t. Because you don’t have a degree in that. The only knowledge you have of TES was earned from wasting your life playing fucking video games. Good job, you fucking Carl.
Ned - April 18, 2012 2:10 am
Boosa,
The Lore in a series like TES means everything, without lore the “RP” in RPG is lost.
Riding dragons IS fucking stupid, not because “I’ve played more video games than youz” but because I know how Skyrim works, and you can’t do it. Period. Even if they pulled it off, I promise you, it would be a shadow of what you expect.
Throwing away a fantastic story just to add more content is not something that should be embarked upon lightly, particularly when its something as shallow as dragon riding.
Just my 2 cents.
Timmy The Tooth Fairy - April 16, 2012 4:55 pm
Lol. Don’t bust a nut Patty. How do you know dragons don’t live in hammerfell? Because an in-game book doesnt mention it? Think before you speak. It usually saves you from looking like handicapped child with a 2nd grade education.

I dont know if anyone else has experienced this, but i just need to share it. I swear on my life this is true. I was exploring around Southfringe Sanctum and found a road to the border gate of Cyrodiil. I arrived at the gate, and couldnt go through (no surprise). I saved my game and went to eat lunch. when i came back and reloaded the game, as soon as it fully loaded back to where i saved, the border gate OPENED. i ran towards the opening, but there was an invisible wall blocking me, but it did NOT say “you cannot go that way.” the gate stayed open for a couple seconds, then closed. it never happened again afterwards. anyone else heard of this?
jeremy - April 7, 2012 3:46 am
I wouldnt expect some huge landscape out of these supposed dlcs, people keep bringing up point lookout or old world blues, those dlc worlds werent that big, for point look out there was so little locations that they had a trophy/achievement for finding them all. And Do you know how much time and money it would take to make dlcs that big, not to mention how expencive they would be, i dont really think bethesda would want to do that to their fans. And i hate to ruin all your dragon riding theories but since these dlcs are probably not gonna be to huge riding dragons would be pointless, for a desert landscape like hammerfell mabey they could add camels to ride. Something else thats been bugging me to, dragons have the freedom of flying wherever they please so it wouldnt be out of the question to see them in areas such as hammerfell, mabey give them a new skin to match the desert teraine, and the dragons have just risen, i doubt that anyone could learn to fly ride them that quick, plus the fact that the dragons are intellegent and most are hostile i doubt that they would even let you ride them. As for riding wolves and shit, mabey in a mod, dont thing beth would waste their time doing that. I agree that there should be more to werewolves outside of the companions same. thing with vamparism, mabey there could be a small quest line where you can join up with a vampire hunting guild and it can cut both ways helping the vampires defeate the. hunters, but thats just some ideas im throwing out there. Some of these do seem plausible though but for all we know this info could all be a lie and were just bickering over nothing, instead of fighting mabey we could just throw around ideas
Luke - April 12, 2012 12:29 am
I have an idea for the Vampire/Werewolf questline. Have you noticed the Vigilants of Stendarr walking aroung Skyrim? They say they oppose anything not of their world including Vampires, Werewolves and Daedra. There could be multiple quest tie-ins there.
staige - April 9, 2012 4:03 am
I find all of these ideas actually very plausible. Especially with Bethesda’s whole idea of having large dlcs. Sure, I imagine adding several new countries to roam through would be incredibly expensive (my guess is the dlcs are probably going to be around $40 each at least), but they would be incredibly worth it. Plus, adding new lands would add the geographical diversity that I (in my humble opinion) feel Skyrim was missing. I can only take so much tundra, sorry. The dragon riding idea is entirely possible, because,
SPOILER ALERT!
You ride that dragon whose name I cannot remember during the plot line
SPOILERS OVER!
I personally hope that you can rage war between Skyrim (which will somehow become united depending on the choices you made) and the Thalmor, as well as the legions of dragons. I want to see some dragon riders burning each other’s heads off. I’m also thrilled to see they’re adding to the werewolf quests. I hope that they make them better, because after I transformed I got my ass handed to me when I tried to use it in real combat.
What I really want, though, is more battles of mass proportions. My favorite quests were the battles for the cities. Let’s burn some houses!
Shaun - April 9, 2012 10:29 am
There is no point in really arguing about what there doing for Skyrim, just let them do what they think is best. Maybe it’ll work, maybe not, we’ll find out when it’s all released. It might turn out to be very good indeed, it might not but if it’s no good they’ll just loose alot of fans for messing a great game plus title up. Going to half of the stuff I’ve actually read (Not refering to what others have written) DLC wise, mounting dragons would be kinda impossible considering there’s like only one in game that actually will make kinda friends with you, only reason that was cause your captured it, otherwise it probably would of attacked. I’m stating a solid point there.
Luke - April 12, 2012 12:38 am
I agree there’s no reason to argue, but discussing and sharing ideas seems necessary because, as someone mentioned above, Bethesda is a thorough game development company that responds to what the fans want, adding to that with their own spice. I wouldnt be surprised if they have a team that goes through forums like this just to get ideas. We, the fans, want a good game, so we should do our part to contribute
Shaun - April 9, 2012 10:40 am
One more thing i can add, if you can mount dragons, dragon shouts would be kinda pointless in the game cause apparently the dragon your mounting uses shouts it’s self.
Matt - April 9, 2012 4:54 pm
I think the people of Skyrim should give recognition for the things your character has acheived, such as killing Alduin and helping the rebellion move closer to peace. In the last 2 Elder Scrolls once you finished the main quest the people of the land Knew who your were and gave you recognition for your killing whatever evil they were facing, i.e. The Nerevarine and The Hero of Cyrodiil, along with the second one came a bad a** suit of armor made just for you. In Skyrim there is no recognition at all nobody knows you killed Alduin except for a handful of people and most of them were dead Nords. A little acknowledgement is all I ask for. And DON”T make the best armor in the game the armor you make yourself there’s no fun in that. Make a big quest line that helps you find some killer armor i.e., The Knights of the Nine which the armor you gained lvled up with you, and Brusef Amelions Armor these were really good and very unique armor types that you had to find not make yourself. And DLC with dragons has been a long time coming, seriously!!!

I got a question. Why is everyone picking on someonew who only wrote down what he thinks it might be? And someone said this person was looking for attention. Don’t you think he just got hell of a lot attention. About the Dlc idc what happens as long we can go to another place or new quests (lie someone said. history of the dwemer and where they have gone or whatever. I would like to see that. And I would also like to see new kinds of dragons.) please don’t hate me. I just say what I hope. Q~Q

SkyrimDragonHello - April 10, 2012 3:28 am
Alright well..In my opinion for the dlc..i don’t really care for most of the horse armor crap. Dragon Mounts sound interesting. But mainly I’d look forward to 3 provinces yeah i went there. Cyrodil and Morrowind. Number 3? Elsyweir or however you spell it. I don’t mean like full out roam over it..I mean let’s per say your helping an traveler on a quest who’s being pursued by Khajit…He leads you into a temple where you can retrieve an amulet or stone to get them off your or his back. But the traveler betrays you and stabs you in the back..literally. You wake up in a Khajit temple or something, and it turns out the Khajit wanted you all along and the traveler was a Khajit Assassin himself. Anyways so yeah, and you get to escape and discover 20% of Elsyweir. Because the other part is ravaged by a volcano or something idk. Anyways just my thoughts.

Have you guys not seen the Bethesda GameJam 2011?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJguhBeaDIs
Dragon Riding has at some point been implemented/working by Bethesda. All the things in the video was accomplished in one week. What makes anyone think that the things listed in the article aren’t possible or BS? It’s certainly nice to think that expansions like listed could be in our future.
Shaun - April 10, 2012 3:48 pm
Dragon mounts would be ridiculous really, why would you need to mount a dragon when the adventure is about exploring numerous of locations, mounting dragons would just render that part of the game useless. Even though you may have to travel to another province, me personally would prefer either walking or using a horse so i can explore abit on the way to my location.
JustThatOneGuy - April 10, 2012 7:23 pm
See all of you are arguing over rumors. All of the ideas sound great whether they are true or not. You guys need to chill and just wait for some official info to come out and stop being such whiney whores.
McBraas - April 10, 2012 8:03 pm
That’d be some time this month, in fact
Dalith - April 11, 2012 5:15 am
I want to see staff and arrow making added, everything else mentioned would be cool.
Luke - April 12, 2012 12:46 am
I agree. Although I’m not very fond of staffs, making and customising them may change my mind. And there’s a lack of a cheap way to get arrows since the most reliable place I know of is in Solitude and is over-priced.
That Guy - April 11, 2012 10:41 pm
I’ve been waiting for Bethesda to follow through with a wereshark since Morrowind
junker - April 11, 2012 11:43 pm
Hey mcBraas any exact date
McBraas - April 12, 2012 8:23 am
Not yet.
We just know that Pete Hines claimed that news for Skyrim and Rage fans would be coming April, which means within the next 18 days.
Tytanis - April 12, 2012 12:19 am
If this is true, the Tytanis team will be very discouraged. We went through hell and back to get these features working.
“Taming dragons and mounting them”, also “introduction of other new mounts like sabre cats, mammoths, bears, wolves and more…” and “Horse armor” (mystikhybrid is a Tytanis Developer)…
These features have already been done for PC. If this all will be released as DLC, it will mean many, many hours were spent for nothing.
Tytanis
McBraas - April 12, 2012 8:29 am
Wow, Tytanis himself pays a visit.
Love your mod, buddy.
Keep an eye out; new Skyrim news should be coming this month. I’ll write it here immediately when I get it.
And your work hasn’t been a waste; it has brought many people a lot of joy for a long time.
Jim - April 12, 2012 12:22 am
The fact that a bunch of losers are arguing about something like this is quite hilarious.
Not saying everyone who commented is a loser, just the majority of people.
Skyrim is based on imagination, so in theory anything is a plausible theory.
Going to other provinces and riding dragons would be fun though… Especially dragons in armour.
bird - April 12, 2012 6:27 am
I bet there is going to be a dlc where the Dwarves return, and i think that could be an amazing series of quests.
dani - April 12, 2012 5:37 pm
I just would love to see in a DLC a totally benevolent faction/group the opposite of for example the Dark Brotherhood (If you’ve finished the quest line you’ll know what I mean) that gets you to interact with one or more of the Aedra as you do with Daedra.
cody - April 12, 2012 6:29 pm
Skyrim??
TES = fantasy shooter. is the most useless concept of rpg ever made!
heavy BUGS! no food, drink or sleep required. the perk system is the kid version for any idea about really configure a char.. is ridiculous. this game is a shooter, a openworld with poor caves, dungeons… extremely linear, free of puzzles.. retarded shooter! and lots of kill cameras!! water effects!! maybe a butterfly dragon priest later.
is the worst “rpg” ever made… is just better compared with other two abominations, Morrowind and Oblivion.
McBraas - April 12, 2012 10:24 pm
Ummm… Skyrim is not a shooter.
Heavy bugs, yes.
Food, drink and sleep isn’t necessary, no, but that is where the ‘RP’ comes in.
The perk system is considered entertaining by many and helps create a more unique character.
The caves are all unique, but as to their quality, one has to be subjective.
It is anything but linear.
There are several puzzles, but few ‘types’ of puzzles.
The kill cameras can be turned off.
Water effects are awesome.
It won the GameSpot GotY 2011, so it is probably not the worst “rpg” ever made. Morrowind and Oblivion also received extremely good criticism.
But I suppose you are entitled to your opinion.
junker - April 12, 2012 8:52 pm
I agree that there should be a few extra materials to craft items out of and arrow smithing would be great but I think riding dragons isn’t going to happen because it would be ridiculously powerful
SPOILER
When you ride odahviing or whatever its name was you had no actual control
james - April 13, 2012 4:21 am
btw, todd howard showed a video of potential dlc content and yes one of them was riding a dragon so even after all this chatter there is still a very high possability of it happening.
Christian - April 15, 2012 6:57 am
I think almost anything could be possible for Skyrim’s new DLC at this point. This is a fantasy world, and so things that aren’t real can happen. I personally wouldn’t cry myself to sleep if Bethesda didn’t stay perfectly in line with the lore aspect. Have you seen the freaking DLC video on youtube? The one where the guys behind Skyrim had a week to make whatever they wanted? You could play as a f*cking were-bear, and a flying vampire lord. Freaking sick if you ask me. There were new kill cams, and abilities, and a spear. How awesome would spear fighting be? I just want to tell Bethesda to f*cking take my money already.
Chris - April 15, 2012 11:15 pm
Now Skyrim is the first ES game I played, so I am lacking in knowledge of lore. But one thing I can’t help to think of nobody is mentioning wanting a new playable race? Maybe a Snow Elf, from a small faction of them, untainted by the dwemer, lost and now found. Or maybe a Imga (great ape from Valenwood)? Either of those two would be coo to see as a new playable race. As for new areas, I would love to see at least a part of Hammerfell, with or without the dragon riders there.

Heather - April 16, 2012 2:35 pm
Oooook so what alot of people seem to be forgetting or lack the knowledge of is the Blood Moon and Tribunal expansions for Morrowind… Blood Moon added Solstheim and a line of quests for werewolves, and Tribunal adding Mournhold, a Temple city. No neither one is an entirely new province, but Solstheim alone added tons of gameplay and a vast new region to explore. So my point is, I personally think that SOME of this info may be plausible on the level of the DLC adding PORTIONS of the other provinces. I do not expect them to add all of Hammerfell or Morrowind lol. And I really hope that they do add a line of quests for werewolves, Blood Moon was the shit. Also I would like to add that I really do think they need to add mounted combat. I was really hoping for that when Skyrim originally came out.
McBraas - April 16, 2012 2:43 pm
You tell ‘em, girl! *snap*
doesanyonereallycare - April 16, 2012 3:49 pm
Why are you all flaming eachother *sigh*. I agree with Chris i’d rather have the Snow Elf race than riding a fucking spider, i mean seriously guys, come on. Skyrim is Skyrim and not World of Warcraft. A tiny list of what I hope to be implemented soon;
1.) Versatile speech by the NPCs, im really getting tired of hearing the same shit all the
time
2.) Riding dragons sounds like fun, but must be hell for bethesda to program.
3.) Faster horses, these horses are retarded. no matter how ”enduring” or ”strong”
they are.
4.) Also I feel like being a thief doesnt really pay, if you know what i mean. there arent
alot of houses to rob and most of them hardly have anything of value.
Tre - April 16, 2012 4:37 pm
I’d like to take this moment to agree with a majority of the readers, and point out of mind-numbingly autistic Raxos and Fatrick McFlurry are. Raxos, you say nobody got fired from Bethesda, yet you don’t work there, and most likley don’t have a real job yourself. Calling the “leak” something only an 8 year old could think of, is basically implying that everybody in this conversation who is in excited about the information in the leak to only have the mind-set or comprehensive abilities of an 8 year old themselves. Need I remind you, everybody has their own opinions, therefor by stating that the leak is stupid, you are implying that what you have to say is more important than the thought of the other people, and I assure you dear boy, it isint. Obvious fail is…obvious. And Fatrick. I’ve gotta agree with Micheal, it doesn’t seem like you’re too familiar with the workings of skyrim by what you’ve stated. Its Skyrim. Its a game. I need you to try your best to understand that it isint reality. Spells aren’t real, and men with gray robes don’t live at the top of mountains and speak dragon.
What I’d like to see personally are most of the things mentioned in the “leak”, along with improved vampire story/gameplay. Its ridiculous. Seems like Bethesda lost the ability to make a decent vampire after Morrowind.
C'mon now - April 16, 2012 8:59 pm
When it comes to handling different provinces, they will most likely run separately, if this wasn’t already obvious. For Morrowind, you would initially go there via the gate at Riften, and from that point on you could fast travel. And when I say “go there” I mean like entering a dungeon, except iw will say “To Morrowind”
Forever - April 16, 2012 10:06 pm
It’s 100% fake, Bethesda promised they would NEVER EVER add horse armor.
Patrick robinson - April 17, 2012 12:18 am
well customizing lore woudnt be bad i mean you ride a dragon to songarde and todd said the Dlc is gunna be shuge
blaq - April 17, 2012 6:41 am
Wow… the 8 year old witty retorts aside, I agree with the previous poster on the caution of this report. Just consider for the moment how badly Skyrim fans are hard-up for DLC, then consider how much angst can be grown by getting everyone’s hopes up. Also, The dragon riding would need a ton of explaining, like stated before, they are intelligent and driven to enlsave lesser intelligent beings. The big cat idea is incredibily stupid, sorry 5 year olds, all cats hate exterior weight, go ahead and wrap a towel around one of your moms’ twenty cats, just to see how it reacts. I am a fan of the multiple locations, I say “why not,” but don’t be suprised if it doesn’t happen, it would have to be one huge DLC and would take a long time to execute correctly. I don’t know what the DLC could be, but I’m a “believe it when I see it,” sort of person. Now go to bed you bed-wetting, cry-baby, pissants.
Timmy The Tooth Fairy - April 17, 2012 2:12 pm
Lol. What you just said is completely invalid. Cats hate exterior weight? Take a look at the things you can do in Skyrim you tard. Base carry weight is 300. Pretty sure normal people aren’t able to carry around 20 swords, 10 shields, and god knows how many potions in real life. And you’re saying mounts are impossible because kitty cats don’t like exterior weight. By your logic, you’re basically saying Skyrim makes no sense as a whole. Chances are you’re some 12 year old virgin with bad acne and a Darth Vader t-shirt, raging over the keyboard because nobody will listen to you irl. Lets try our best to keep this topic troll and noob free. Ty.

monjay007 - April 17, 2012 6:08 pm
Good you can fight on mounts thats what i wanted now add fighting in water and some water creatures and werewolf and vampire skill tree and im good.
ConfusedKidTheSkyrimFan - April 17, 2012 6:24 pm
Seriously some of you need some imagination and to stop calling each other retards. We’re all Skyrim fans are we not? We need to hold onto these hopeful ideas. Todd Howard did describe the possibility of Dragon mounting, my opinion aside as it does not matter but it could create a lot of problems. They also have to follow the history of Lore and Tamriel like the Fighters guild disbanding…but the Companions fill in for them, do they not? The Hammerfell DLC sounds…well not legit. I meant dragon mounters…would they want Dragon riding? The idea for Cyrodil with the Thalmor war sounds good, as there is a lot of context and loose ends towards the civil war in the game. For Marrowind, I don’t think they’d set a whole main quest line on Werewolves…not everyone likes them. I believe it will be as the Dark Elves in Windhelm describe and be about the eruption of Vvardenfell, perhaps the Dwemer have something to do with it? They still have a lot of untold business towards the Dwemers, also the Falmers and Ancient Nords (Well the War between The Nords of Atamor led by Ysgrasmor and the Snow Elves). Well Hammerfell, Marrowind and Cyrodil seem more of a like-wise event considering 1. There are passage ways currently blocked to them. 2. You actually (Supposedly) come from Cyrodil when you got captured and 3. Be a bit awkward to travel anywhere else and skip a region like towards the Black marsh, Elyswer and Valenwood. And well, is the Shivering isles not technically a province? It says the Altmer deprive from there, ofcourse that’s probably because they got Cyrodil taken off them in the time of the Ayleids. Sorry if my constant blabbing is felicitous but I had to get my point across. No need to have a go at each other, it’s just a game and other people have their own ideas. Thank-you for reading this if you do and I didn’t read every single post so if someone has already included any of these points I did not know.
Connor - April 17, 2012 7:43 pm
Lots of people seem to be arguing reasons why dragons would or wouldn’t allow people to ride them but i think the main reason why it wouldn’t be done is because it would be a game breaker creating extremely powerful players with no real challenge left in the game. Also speed of dragon would have to be limited to slower then the loading speed of the map so the idea that you need dragons to fly across three provinces (I’ve already argued against the idea of such a large map) would not be to as helpful i think due to a slower loading of a larger map. I think these ideas are very fan made shivering isles was not loaded with new features making players overly strong but instead had a brilliant story and amazing map (though far smaller to cyrodill) baring in mind that although bathesda DLCs are by far the most impressive of any game remember they are still just DLCs and not games themselves and so maps will be no where near the size of Skyrim which cyrodill or morrowind would be
kcrazy monkey - April 17, 2012 8:15 pm
Just remember dlc could be expansion, like the good old ones that added anything from totally new provinces, and as well expansions could be – elder scrolls v skyrim – elder scrolls v expansion morrowind etc lol just remember Bethesda can do what they want
just can’t wait
kcrazy monkey - April 17, 2012 11:04 pm
Just to add I mean expansion like guild wars then guild wars eye of the north etc it adds new provinces, I know that’s a MMORPG on pc but just using it as an example, and that edit at the top about the picture Bethesda released it for dishonoured.
XxNerdKillahXX - April 17, 2012 11:32 pm
All ya’ll!
I definitely want to ride an anorexic wolf and bone a Dragon while humping it in mid-air! I’d also love to drop a Number 2 while flying over WhiteRun to get back at that bitchass blacksmith for blowing my companion. I’d love to go to a new place to get rid of my hundreds of fines from slaughtering a Viking-like race of people with my kitty cat claws.
Mike - April 18, 2012 1:10 am
Look, I don’t really care what they do. I don’t care if all of this isn’t true, and the only gameplay feature they add is a pie eating contest. I only want one thing: stylist. I want the ability to change my hair, dirt, facepaint, and whatever else. Sure, riding on dragons and senselessly killing high elves is a great idea, but what’s the point if I can’t put on some hard core blood thristy facepaint beforehand? And what’s the point of always having my facepaint on if I’m even going to have it when I get married, or when I go under cover at an Elf supremacist party?
Kyle Robertson - April 18, 2012 3:19 am
I think the dlc should include an entirely new story line in which nirn gets hit by an asteroid which causes the planet’s tilt to change. Thus this would cause Skyrim’s climate to change into a tropical paradise.
Seb - April 18, 2012 3:59 am
Who ever commented first on this thread is obviously retarded and have no idea as to what Bethesda can do. They’ve been in the game making business for a long time and want to make Skyrim better and have the skills/tools to do it in whatever way they see fit. The ideas here aren’t that far-fetched.
That’s right I’m talking to you Patrick McMurry.
Fenris - April 18, 2012 5:56 am

anywho… hammerfell sounds like an amazing idea, but is in fact, the only plausible part of this “leak.”
everything else seems like a pandaren loving wet dream.
J Bomb - April 18, 2012 6:39 am
if they do make it that you can ride dragons, they should make it that you can’t control the dragon yourself, but you can tell him where to go. Unless you are having a fight with enemies.

One question : Why have the other provinces on the skyrim disc if they are not gonna use um?
McBraas - April 18, 2012 8:39 am
I’m thinking that it’s so that when you climb a mountain and look towards the rest of Tamriel, you don’t just see a vast empty space of nothing.
But hey, I’m no expert.
yoyohoho - April 18, 2012 8:28 am
why have other provinces on the disc unless to use um
Possible/Plausible/Imaginative - April 18, 2012 7:21 pm
Some of the comments here are ridiculously immature. Thought I would start out my piece by stating the obvious.
Anyways, I don’t know how closely the people posting have followed what Bethesda is doing, but a month or so ago I remember watching a video of what Bethesda thought could be possible future DLC. In it I specifically remember dragon mounts, werebear transformations, vampire lords, lycanthropic skill-trees, new killcams, and a variety of other “possible” DLC. The only one of those they came out with are the new kill-cams, but my point is that they DID come out with them. Everything else in that video therefore, is possible.
Dragon Rider DLC in Hammerfell? Why not? If you think that it is a ludicrous idea, and would make everything too easy, then the solution would be to not buy it. However there are so many ways to make the dragonmounts more believeable. How about this: the Redgaurds found a strange group of dragons that weren’t as intelligent as their Skyrim ancestors? Maybe an evil mage used a spell to turn them docile, and thus making them into capable mounts? An aftereffect of the spell is that they turned weak overtime (so as to not make a dragon mount too strong). This goes for the other mount possibilties. If they can do that to dragons then why not other animals?
Morrowind werewolf campaign? Again, why not? There can be a whole new quest to either liberate or destroy werewolves in Morrowind (or whatever they decide). In addition you could learn new transformations to affect the outcome of the campaign (like the werebears from the video I mentioned earlier).
And what’s this about not being able to go to other provinces? Why not? Shivering isles, and most of fallout 3′s DLC required you to travel to a whole new map. I’m not saying that they will make the entire province available, just a section, but I think it’s entirely plausible. If you still think they won’t do it, then just remember that they are always coming up with NEW ideas that they think players will enjoy. They don’t always stick with the old ways.
Finally, a Thalmor war campaign. Absolutely. You could join any side you wanted, and repel, support, sabotage, or just observe the entire campaign. There was a war between the stormcloaks and imperials in Skyrim, so why not another war in Cyrodil? I do, however, understand that the number of npcs on screen do have to be limited (which I never liked), but I’m just saying it’s plausible.
Horse armor? Sure. Not incredibly awesome, but some really like it.
The bottom line is this: If you think it’s stupid, silly, or foolish, THEN DON’T BUY/USE IT! The great thing about games like Skyrim is that you can do stuff IF you want to. You aren’t forced to. I personally don’t like cooking, or alchemy. The option is there, but I don’t use it. It doesn’t bother me one bit that it is in the game, and I actually like the idea that if I wanted to, I could do it.
Who knows, maybe this is all just a big hoax, and none of the mentioned DLC will ever come to fruit, but just keep an open mind, because this is fantasy, and anything is possible. Imagination is the limit.
McBraas - April 18, 2012 7:35 pm
Hats off to the dedicated debater!
J - April 18, 2012 10:51 pm
The problem I see with all of these DLC ideas is that they seem they were ripped right out of other RPG games.
Dragon mounts – sounds a lot like Eragon and Divinity 2.
Animal mounts – sounds a lot like Sacred 2.
Werewolf hunting/helping – Dragon Age.
However like the author I can see a lot of this being believable. Horse armor; while it was a failure in Oblivion doesn’t mean it has to be in Skyrim. I think the issue with Horse Armor was that there were not achievements and no real value to the game so the people that bought it felt taken. I think it is well established that the foundation is already in the game for a larger map and so DLC would only need to be added to refine it and give access.
I give this a plausible but unlikely.
McBraas - April 18, 2012 11:13 pm

AggroBomb60 - April 19, 2012 1:05 am
while i initially found these ideas ridiculous and bad for the elder scrolls lore i now find things plausible because of the recent SKYRIM GAME JAM announcement. Check it out people
ElderScrollsMan - April 19, 2012 11:03 am
Let me tell you why this is fake…
1.People believe in the dragon mounts part because it was included in the game jam session. Well sorry to burst your bubble, but riding dragons would break the game. Cities are separate game cells, so if you try to land in them, all you get are low-rez boxes and nothing else. Ever wonder why you always enter cities with a loading screen? Secondly, the xbox would not be able to render the world quick enough when flying over the map. Textures would pop like crazy and everything would stutter and lag. current-gen console hardware just can’t handle it. Bethesda won’t include dlc if it makes their game look like underperforming crap. Also, it is a stupid idea. Anyone who knows Bethesda realizes they’re not dorky enough to include a bunch of useless mounts for WOW fanboys. It’s a gimmick.
2. Bethesda has never released a province-scale dlc. Suggesting that they’re releasing three is ridiculous. If dlc does let you visit other provinces, it will only be small chunks of them. Just look at how long it took to craft the extraordinarily detailed world of Skyrim. They can’t just whip that up and ship it. Everyone who says that Besthesda HAS released province-scale dlc is an idiot. Just look at a scaled map of Vvardenfell (Morrowind) and Solstheim. Solstheim is at most one quarter the size of Vvardenfell, with far less than a quarter of the things to do. Mournhold (Tribunal) is even smaller. It is just a city with dungeon spaces.
As for the Shivering Isles… again, just look at a scaled version next to Cyrodiil (vanilla Oblivion) One quarter the size again. Point Lookout for Fallout 3 is even smaller in comparison. So, province-sized is out of the question, chunk of a province is not.
3. A Guild called Dragon Riders? Seriously? How bland and unoriginal. This reeks of 14-year-old troll.
This is the voice of reason and experience. Don’t kid yourselves, or you’ll only be disappointed.
xXDXDXDx - April 19, 2012 7:09 pm
The next DLC will give you the possibility to travel back in time and see the ancient Dweemer u can also travel further in time and get like a minigun, then return in time and just fuckin rape everyone! You’ll have grenades and mines and a desert eagle .50 cal or 2 if u wanna go for double weilding. You can snipe the dragons flying over Solitude from Whiterun and You’ll get your very own space ship, fly to Mars and fight the radioactive mutant zombie werewolves there, as part of the quest Zombie pawn 4ever!

Thewhiterabbit - April 19, 2012 7:22 pm
The Havok based engine of Skyrim does not allow multiple outdoor cells to be loaded simultaniously, therefore there is or will ever be no dragon mounting. Don’t buy the “leak”
ryan - April 20, 2012 4:05 am
Talking about lore, by how into these debates you guys are getting, it is obvious that Bethesda has us all by the balls when it comes to lore. Let them do the work. If they say it’s going to be bigger than anything we’ve seen before, I’m sure it will bring a gigantic smile across my face when I load it for the first time, as I’m sure all of you will too. Chill with the intense speculating. You don’t need to bash other people’s ideas, they’re ideas…

Jason - April 20, 2012 6:21 pm
Ok dipshits, the dlc can go to other provinces without breaking the “norm” they’ve done so in four of their previous games. Bloodmoon and Tribunal in Morrowind. Shivering Isles in Oblivion. Then there was the shit-ton of dlc packs for both Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, so stop saying they won’t do it. They’ve done it four times already you dumbfucks!!!! So stop bitching and enjoy the damned good dlc Bethesda is offering you.
ElderScrollsMan - April 21, 2012 4:09 am
Like I said, Bloodmoon and Tribunal are not province-scale. They are less than a quarter of the size and content of vanilla Vvardenfell. And Shivering Isles is a quarter the size of vanilla Cyrodill. Tell me with a straight face that the fallout dlc was even marginally comparable to how much you could do in the vanilla versions. Mothership Zeta was just a big dungeon, for example, and Point Lookout took 15 hours or less to see and do everything. The Pitt only had like 8 game cells in the entire thing! I don’t think you even know what a province is. Solstheim is an island north of Vvardenfell and Skyrim disputed by both the Dunmer and Nords. Mournhold is a city in mainland Morrowind. And the Shivering Isles is a Daedric Realm. Before you go calling people dipshits, get your facts straight. DLC will never be ‘province-scale’ because that would necessarily mean creating as much content as the vanilla version. I hope the dlc is great, but the ‘leak’ posted by this guy is bullcrap to begin with: Dragon mounts is reason enough: cities are separate game cells, so if you fly over them, they basically don’t exist. And current-gen hardware can’t render the amount of data that flying over the game in a minute would mean. Basically, the author of this leak fails at knowing anything about the technical limitations of the game.
OshaoXin - April 21, 2012 6:27 pm
You’re right, and the same thing has been on my mind about the dragon mounts. But most villages are open too, perhaps eventually they’ll figure some way to make cities open too without glitching all the spawn locations and NPC schedules. And about the dragon flight speed; maybe a bit slower than normally, which would makes sense because the dragon is carrying you and your inventory in flight.

I think your all bell sniffs… Who gives a tosse what they do or don’t do. They have made an epic game, and whatever they decide to do in the dlc will be the dogs bollocks.
But I know I would like to see more weapon veriantions and do more things with the armour.
You all need to get a grip you thick inbred f@ckers, it’s only a game!!!!!

This is obviously fake, and i also very confused of the stupidity of people who post here. I really don’t understand why would riding a dragon BE TEH COLEST TING IN THE WHOE WOLRD! that would just be a useless deus ex machina that makes the player invincible, utterly destroys the need for adventuring and roaming around and, most importantly of all, makes the game boring very, very fast. also the speed at which you fly around would make the textures horrible as the game would have to load your environment constantly. really people, stop and think for a moment, think about this and while you reply, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CHECK YOUR SPELLING

I think there should be vampire dlc or a war with vampires and were-wolves.

I’ve enjoyed all the rants, arguments, random guesses, educated guesses, so on and so forth. But just remember people, think of how technology has developed Morrowwind, Oblivion both had some pretty big DLC for their time so DLC will only get much more expansive, all of the things you say aren’t impossible for this game. All you need is imagination to make any type of game.
If they do get some dragon riding in the game I’d think there would be some limitations on it (I can be wrong) it would still be interesting to see though.
New mounts would mix it up a bit. Who wants a horse that gets slaughtered when a threat comes around or a horse that can do the killing for you *cough*Shadowmere!*cough* when a threat…ya know…comes around?
I think maybe a new breed of dog would be a ‘simple’ yet ‘great’ idea to just throw out there.
In the world of fantasy video gaming genres anythings possible.
Sincerely, NewGuy

The article starts off with someone who wanted to remain anonymous BUT is then stated to having been fired from Bethesda. If that were true then they must have been fired for being stupid. A company with several hundred employees at most doesn’t fire staff members on a daily basis. Bethesda would figure out who it is and ‘Fus-Ro-Dah’ their pitiful arse.
Now, mounts are fu@king stupid. Why the flying fu@k would you want to ride a dragon? It’s a redundant feature that overlaps with fast travel, walking/running and horse riding. It’s not ‘cool’ and doesn’t ‘expand’ anything. Half the point in an RPG is exploring and finding places yourself. If anything it makes the game boring and confounds the entire main plotline! Would you ride a human being? No, because you can’t imagine an intelligent being allowing themselves to be a means of travel. Dragons are another form of higher beings in Skyrim; not pets. It’s just stupid to ride them on a daily basis. You clearly haven’t paid attention to the story. Morons!!!!!
Secondly, DRAGONS BELONG IN SKYRIM! That’s what the prophecy was all about you dipsh!ts. Why would you release content (Hammerfell – Dragon Riders Guild) that dismantles your base plot? You’re fu@king stupid!
Next, consider the flow of time. SKYRIM IS NOT FINISHED! You have just liberated Skyrim from the Empire (or from the Stormcloaks) and made war on the Thalmor. Skyrim is without a High King and the Moot awaits…… and now you skip off to a different region of Tamriel (Hammerfell) to join a guild so you can ride dragons? That’s like heading to hospital with your wife in labour and on the way stopping at a mates house to play XBOX Kinect.
Morrowind? That was TES 3. Morrowind has ‘nothing’ to do with Skyrim.
More houses? I didn’t pirate a copy of ‘Skyrim’ in order to play ‘Monopoly’. I did it to play ‘Skyrim’. If you have a 21 piece bucket of KFC and someone offered to sell you another piece, what would you say to them? Exactly (Well, unless you’re a stupid fat fu@ker)
So many of the above posts are submitted by individuals who fail to notice obvious facts or utilize basic logic. They should not be playing RPG’s to begin with. They should stick with point and click shooters for simpletons – MW3 jumps to mind.
If the Expansion Packs/DLC are anything like the original article I will proceed post haste to flush my computer down the toilet.

I personally hope they do add the ability to travel to other provinces, though it would take some time for Bethesda to create them for dlc. I don’t think it would be the best to allow dragon riding on the console versions simply because of the loading issues it would create. Otherwise i would definitely enjoy being able to ride a dragon. The sabre cat mount and spider mount sound great but they would have to create larger wolves to ride if they wanted them to be mounts as well.
Truthfully its probably best to take this post with a little salt and no get any hopes up just in case the rumors turn out as just that. But i would say to look forward to nearly everything from the Game Jam video becoming added through patches.
Voryn Dagoth - April 25, 2012 9:42 pm
Your right, unless they based the game around being able to ride dragons it wouldn’t feel natural. Now if you read Elder Scrolls Lore, dragons existed in all provinces even in Akivar, the dragons of Morrowind were supposedly wiped out by the unending hordes of Cliff Racers. It would be interesting to see the exact changes to the landscape following the events after Red Mountain erupted, but I believe it would be far better to explore an area that has yet to be rendered in an elder scrolls game.

Jacob - April 27, 2012 12:14 am
If you’ve actually payed attention to alot of the rumors and the land itself, alot of this makes sense. One major key is that morrowind and cyrodil are already built into the land mass. Another factor is that there are 3 gate-like buildings following a path leading out to each province, including hammerfell. And if you watched the game-jam video of bethesda making whatever they want, riding dragons and werewolf improvements were included. The video also included long-distance cam kills with magic and bows, which they inlcuded in the new update. Along with using the kinect to perform shouts, which is also going to be added. All in all, its very likely that this is accurate information.
Tangletail - April 27, 2012 8:57 pm
I am a bit iffy about this. I really want my Mod Kit for the consoles however, but this does seem interesting. I still want the mod kit though.
1. I do think it’s possible that that this could be real, but also not. One Morrowind was completely torn apart by Red Mountain Volcano that left the land uninhabitable. However, some time from that has passed normally over a hundred years, and then the two hundred years from Oblivion could have mean that Morrowind was finally restored and possibly inhabitable.
2. It would be amazing to explore hammer fell. I hope however that it’s basically a new game on top of it’s self instead of a few more missions added on a massive landscape if not. Give us the modkit for the Consoles, and both PCs and Consoles can add onto it.
3. Mount riding would be nice. There have been some lore of more mounts then just a horse. Especially in elswyer where they have several mounts with high intelligence.

The guild wouldn’t exist. Dragons just came back.
Fafamelon - April 28, 2012 5:08 am
Or maybe it will just expand into Atmora? The chances of it expanding into other provinces are rather slim, and since we had Cyrodill in Oblivion, why would they let us in again? Atmora hasn’t been in any of the previous games and aside from a small mention hasn’t cropped up much, it’s be a new place to explore, they could do so much with it.

Nice marketing trick from the vehq guys. The old “fired employ leak” story. Take some rumors and add some believable elements to it, then let the players argue with each other on your forum.
This page is trash. Can’t even help myself from falling in this trap, obviously :p because it’s good trash… but strash is still just trash.
McBraas - May 2, 2012 3:22 pm
It’s actually not us who wrote it. We found it, snipped it and posted it here.
Also, it can’t very well be a marketing trick in this case, as determination of price is under the 4 basic steps of marketing – We, on the other hand, do all of this work for the fans for free (and for the babes.)
It would be a pretty decent trick, however and I can see where you’re coming from.
If you’re not into rumors, you should read about the new confirmed DLC instead.

myxx - May 4, 2012 3:23 am
Actually, I can only think of one way to include dragon riding, and that would be in combination with great distances to cover. The only possibility that comes to my mind, to keep the game balanced and to stay true to the dragons’ presented intelligence would be a DLC that includes another province (Hammerfell for example, as you could start your journey there with the “In my time of need”-Quest maybe? You know, either find the ones who wish to kill the Redguard woman in Hammerfell, or follow the Alik’r warriors who want to find other Thalmor spies related to her, and so on) and you simply ask Odahviing to take you there. Then you’d get an animation like you get during the main quest, and the next thing you see is a location behind the borders of Hammerfell, with Odahviing flying off and waiting for you to shout his name again.
It’s the same with other mounts. Maybe somewhere in Morrowind there lives a species of giant wolves or bears you could tame and ride (I must admit that I never really played Morrowind, so please forgive me), maybe somewhere in the South of Cyrodiil you find another group of traveling Khajiit merchants who sell a mountable huge Cat they brought from Elsweyr to you, and so on, but again I don’t see a possibility to include this in Skyrim, since the wolves seem far too slim to ride for example…
On the other hand, I think that a DLC regarding the war against the Thalmor is quite possible. Both Ulfric and Tullius *SPOILER* claim at the end of the civil war questline that they want to concentrate on the Thalmor next, and here you could again include another province. Both could say that they “recieved news from an old friend in the Legion” (as Ulfric once was part of the Imperial Legion himself), that for example in Hammerfell (again) the resistance against the Thalmor grows and so you have to travel there to support them or you can (if you play as a high elf, for example) walk straight to the Thalmor and deliver every piece of information you have about the stormcloaks or the legion, depending on which side you chose before. (That’s also something I hope they’ll correct some day – Ulfric hates dark elves and argonians and basically everything that isn’t a North, so why would he allow them – especially any kind of elves – to join the stormcloaks?)
There are just 2 things I honestly don’t believe in:
1. A guild of dragon riders – seriously, regarding the way dragons are presented in Skyrim, most of them seek to enslave all humans (as one of the loading screens says, they “would surely do so again if given the chance” or something like that), so why should they allow others to become their riders? That’d maybe only make sense after you finished the main quest, when Paarthurnax flies off with his new dragon buddys and wants to teach them the way of the voice… but still, I think an entire guild of dragon riders is highly unlikely. (Yet, I wish there were more people in Skyrim who learned to use dragon shouts with the greybeards. Honestly, if I wanted to join the legion or the stormcloaks, why wouldn’t I try to gather everything helpful I can get to stay alive? Ulfric himself was taught by the greybeards, so they surely don’t ask you to become a part of them before they teach you. But that’s another story.)
2. Lightning dragons? I really doubt that, if they don’t come up with a really good explanation why these didn’t appear before. (But… again, if they came from Hammerfell or Morrowind, or even Cyrodiil… well, somehow, anything works out, doesn’t it?)

I read a book in skyrim about lycanthroupes and it said that skyrim is infested with werebears but their are none they should include them in the DLC as well as a Questline for them and special claw wepons.
