Skyrim DLC lets players FLY DRAGONS
Bethesda unveils 'Dragonborn'
Bethesda has unveiled its latest DLC pack for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. As well as the introduction of a fresh villain, gamers will be able to fly on the back of a dragon.
Insert Bill & Ted sample: "Exccellllent."
While full details of the Dragonborn DLC have yet to surface, this week's trailer offers a glimpse of what Bethesda has in store.
This includes new enemies, areas to explore and, of course, the ability to pilot the various fire-breathing reptiles that menace the skies of Nirn.
Let's hope these dragons fly the right direction this time.
Players will see a return to the island of Solstheim too, the focus of Bethesda's Bloodmoon DLC expansion for 2002's Morrowind.
As far as we can tell, the new plot is centralised around the first ever 'Dragonborn' character that returns to actively harvest powers from the reptiles for his own gain, similar to how Sylar treats other characters in NBC's Heroes.
Your task is to obviously stop him. Check out the trailer below.
The Xbox 360 version of Dragonborn is available from 4 December for 1600 MSP.
Versions for PC and PS3 have yet to be revealed, although after the failed-attempt to bring Skyrim's last DLC - Dawnguard - to those on Sony consoles, I wouldn't hold your breath for the latter.

Re: Bill & Ted
Face palm moment... that was totally bogus of me!
Oh God no!
I spent months and months playing Skyrim when it came out on the 360, getting up at 3am for a few hours before work, sitting up until gone midnight after the kids had gone to bed. With the nights drawing in again this could be a very bad move to get this DLC!
( The mask as I am a slave to a fun RPG! )
Finally
Some new map areas to explore. I avoided the last 2 DLCs as the vampire one didn't seen to add much new map - plus the whole vampire thing has been done to death. The house building thing simply not worth the money. This one I might buy.
will it
come with an option to turn off that bloody 3rd person kill cam rubbish ?
only thing that cost Skyrim my first ever 100% game rating
So, flying on dragons... I wonder how freeform that is. They ditched levitation magic(and other airborne shenanigans like super high jumping) after Morrowind because of the hacks they had to make to their engine which would be revealed in all their ghastly glitchy glory from the air. Be nice if they brought that sort of thing back. They did manage to implement horseback combat after all this time, at least...
