Skyrim DLC Hitting PSN This February

[U.M.A._Mailman19]

Skyrim, the game that comes to you from developer Bethesda Softworks just got a release date month for its DLC on PS3. Skyrim is an open world RPG set in the land of Skyrim obviously. In Skyrim you play as the Dovahkiin or better known as The Dragonborn. As the Dragonborn your goal is to defeat the evil dragon Alduin and stop him from destroying Skyrim. The Dragonborn's main goal is to find the Elder Scroll, so he can learn a special shout to defeat Alduin once and for all. Skyrim released on the PS3 on November 11, 2011.

Today Bethesda has announced that all three sets of Skyrim DLC will be landing on the PS3 next month. For those that don't about the three sets of DLC, they are Dragonborn, which is the newest of the three and the other two sets of DLC are Dawnguard and Heathfire, which were the first two sets of DLC released. Bethesda has also revealed that each DLC will be 50% off during their launch week. Below are the details on the DLC.

The details:

Dragonborn

In Dragonborn, you’ll journey off the coast of Morrowind, to the island of Solstheim. Encounter new towns, dungeons, and quests, as you traverse the ash wastes and glacial valleys of this new land. Become more powerful with shouts that bend the will of your enemies, and even tame dragons. Your fate, and the fate of Solstheim, hangs in the balance as you face off against your deadliest adversary – the first Dragonborn.

• Explore Beyond Skyrim – Leave the province of Skyrim and travel to the coastal island of Solstheim. Encounter the Dark Elven settlers of Raven Rock and the native Skaal, as you unravel the mystery of a Dragonborn’s return.
• Become the Ultimate Dragonborn – Harness the power of the Voice as you face off against the first Dragonborn. Wield new shouts and spells including Dragon Aspect – allowing you to summon the inner power of a dragon to deliver colossal blows and strengthen other shouts.
• New Powers – Discover dark powers as you journey into a new Daedric realm. Collect books of forbidden knowledge and choose new paths for your skills and abilities.
• New dungeons, creatures, weapons, and more – Suit up in Bonemold and Chitin armors and wield Stalhrim weapons as you navigate through a myriad of dungeons. Battle formidable foes like Ash Spawn, Rieklings, and more.

Hearthfire

In Hearthfire, you can purchase land and build your own home from the ground up – from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with an armory, alchemy laboratory, stable, garden, and more. Use all-new tools like the drafting table and carpenter’s workbench to transform quarried stone, clay, and sawn logs into structures and furnishings. Even transform your house into a home by adopting children.

• Choose Your Land – Choose from property in the salt marshes of Hjaalmarch, the forests of Falkreath, or the vast tundra of The Pale. For the more ambitious landowner, purchase multiple plots and start building a real estate empire.
• Customize Your Home – Expand your home with a variety of room combinations including an armory, alchemy tower, kitchen, trophy room and more. Grow plants in your new greenhouse, cultivate slaughterfish in the fish hatchery, house your Arcane Enchanter in the enchanting tower, or display your latest conquest in the trophy room. Add additional features like stables, mills, smelters, gardens and more.
• New Objectives and Interactions – Guard your home from unwanted visitors like marauding kidnappers, armed bandits, and skeever infestations. Turn almost any follower into your personal steward to improve and protect your home. Or if you require more help, hire a personal bard or carriage driver to ease the burdens of home ownership.
• Adoption – Transform your house into a home with Hearthfire’s all-new adoption system. Adopt children and discover new ways to interact with your family. Play games with the kids, allow them to have pets and gain new bonuses from having a family.

Dawnguard

In Dawnguard, you’ll face the Vampire Lord Harkon, who has returned to power. By using the Elder Scrolls, he seeks to do the unthinkable — end the sun itself. Will you join the ancient order of the Dawnguard and stop him? Or will you become a Vampire Lord yourself? Featuring an all new faction questline and locations, the ultimate choice will be yours.

• New Weapons, Armor, Spells and Shouts – Join the Dawnguard and wield all new crossbows and craft your own arrows, bolts, and Dragonbone weapons. Use new weapons, armor, spells and shouts, including the Soul Tear shout – that rips the souls from your enemies and turns them into your minions.
• Become a Vampire Lord – Side with the vampires and become a Vampire Lord yourself. Hover across the ground, turn yourself into bats, levitate your enemies as you drain their life, and more. The Vampire Lord features its own upgradable perk system.
• Werewolf Perks added – Playing as a werewolf now has its own upgradable perk system including Bestial Strength, Animal Vigor, and Savage Feeding.
• New Locations and Creatures – Choose from two new fortresses to upgrade and call home, Castle Volkihar or Fort Dawnguard. Discover lost valleys and travel to a new realm of Oblivion, the Soul Cairn. Battle new creatures including Death Hounds, Gargoyles, Armored Trolls, and all new vampires and dragons.

50% is a reasonable discount price, but only being discounted for 1 week is ridiculous. Fucking Bethesda.

[Faust]

Lol, third thread

[U.M.A._Mailman19]

Lol, third thread

I know right

[AlecDawesome]

Guess it's worth mentioning that Bethesda trademarked "Redguard", so it's probable that that's the title of the next DLC.

[UNCLEPAULIE]

It is great news and I am very excited but just wondering if they would release these after all this time and they were in dire need of patching from day one , surely they wouldn't would they

[Wild_Dark_Shadow]

Already are known the base prices?

[Voltergeist]

By my calculations, that means PS3 owners can get all three DLCs at $22.50.

About damn time Bethesda, about damn time. Thanks for the deal, though.

[djaime]

I think I'll wait for the GOTY, unless I find a cheap copy

[missdreamer]

It's about time. I am quite pleased with this news. I will have to get a psn card ready for this dlc.

[gpete26]

believe it when I see it in the ps store.

[NOFORPAIN]

I can't wait to see how many game breaking bugs there are in them!

[Pancake Model]

Nooo that's another 100% I'm gonna lose

[cengizbobengiz]

$22.50 for all three is a good deal. I'll bite.

[MTL_TKO]

About time. I best make sure I have enough cash for when they hit the PSN store

[slipknotking1994]

this is good news to hear since it wont let me sign into psn atm but im glad they willl be %50 off should be %75 but ill take 50

[PineappleTimbits]

Hmm... I'll believe it when I see it.

[Curse]

All three out at the same time and 50% off is decent for me, I'll probably pick them up despite me STILL not owning the game whilst they're cheap, or wait for the GOTY edition

[LAWLZilla]

I'm just waiting till the GOTY edition... less bugs, and cheaper. Come to think of it, I think I've waited till GOTY edition for all bethe$ada's games...

[Danko1900]

So, the game came out on November 11th, 2011... it's January 18th 2013... it's about damn time! They should make it 50% off for a month, not just a week.
