In another series of quests, I found myself chasing down the secret to making a new, special kind of armor, which pitted me against the loathsome Thalmor.

My journey to Solstheim began immediately, as I appeared in Whiterun and was met by two cultists wearing the products of a demented arts and crafts festival. A lot has changed in 200 years though and with Dragonborn, players return to Morrowind and Solstheim in the first substantial DLC offered by the Elder Scrolls V. Back then, the frosty island was home to werewolves, Nordic tribes, and the Daedric Prince Hircine. But hey, in Dragonborn, it’s the moments that make up the game – and dragon riding ones are worth it.Ĭheck out our review of the DLC for Xbox 360 here.Years ago I spent much of my time wandering the island of vvardenfell in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and my obsession was extended during my adventures in Solstheim with the Bloodmoon DLC.
