Dragonborn (DLC) Discussion

[Ysmir]

Alirght here are my preliminary findings.
I've been doing quests and misc objectives all over and I got some bad news so far no one in Raven Rock is able to be married. I've done checked everyone even the miners in Raven Rock Mine, married folks, single, all of them. Now I haven't finished collecting the EEC pendants for Fethis Alor so I am hoping once I do I'll be able to open an option to marry Dreyla Alor cause she is perfect for my Dunmer Spellsword. I've checked Tel Mithryn. No one. I've checked the werewolves/hunters at the Frostmoon Crag. No one. I find it sad that there are so many Dunmer and yet none as far as I've been able to figure out are not able to be married.

Here is what I've found so far the only people able to marry are:

Morven - Skaal, Female, Nord, like above poster said take her mother's amulet to Runil in Falkreath.
Halbarn Iron-Fur, Thirsk, Male, Nord, weird part was he had the marriage option and my character is male idk if that is a bug. Quest to open marriage option, Bring him 10 Stalhrim and 15 Ebony Ingots.

Not a glitch. You have always been open to intersexual relations.

Even if you get the house in Raven Rock, the only house you can live in is Morven's or Iron-fur's. And even then Im not sure you can have children live there.

[Ysmir]

I guess I never noticed you could marry the same sex. My bad.

I think they have failed in regard to marriage then. I mean Severin Manor is a huge place and my Dunmer gets lonely and needs some company. Preferably Dreyla. .
The only options are Nords. That sucks too. No offense I love the human races but for RPing purposes I wanted my Dunmer with a Dunmer.
I also hired the henchmen in the Retching Netch to see if he is an option. Nope. His story about his previous boss was fun though.
I also tried Ralis Sedarys? from Unearthed/Kolbjorn Barrow, I let him live, and no option for him either.

[Mr.Argonian]

If it wasn't for the the unwarrented landscape changes and the awful design of the Ice Armor this would be the best DLC we could have hopped for.

How is the design of the ice armor bad?

It certainly looks better then this

Spoiler:

You cant really compare armor from Morrowind to Skyrim. I havent seen the Skyrim version but it cant be that bad.

[swordsister]

Actually, i'm interested in none of the options. i just picked exploring solsteim for the heck of it. the thing i was interested in was to see Beth turn the legendary Dragonborn into some dumb stick with powermonger. I knew this'd end up in another Daedric arse kissing.

It'd hurt less if i've never have heard of TES.

I think i'll just keep stalking more and post less from now on. Absolutely hating something and getting back to posting about it in some sort of back hurted fashion makes no sense. Goodbye.

Master Neloth has a ton of quests too.
Right now I am doing Azra's Staff. He wants me to get one of Azra's staffs which is in Skyrim. Apparently Azra Blackwielder was the first Shadowmage and a master enchanter specially like Neloth of staffs and he wants it for sentimental value and for his research.

[House of the Wolf]

I'm not trying to argue opinions, but, since Battlespire, at least one major DLC/expansion for each game has been dedicated to a plot involving a Daedric Prince--it's actually interesting that it's been a different one each time. I'm mentioning this because I think it should be distinguished that this dynamic isn't exactly unprecedented.

[Hissien]

Nostalgia, that is what makes me love dragonborn. I have always liked dunmer, but this just sends it to a whole new level.

This is really nice! I like the throwback to older games, even the mobile games!
The name should only be Azra Nightwielder: http://uesp.net/wiki/Shadowkey:Azra_Nightwielder

[Ysmir]

Yes my bad. It's Azra Nightwielder not Black. The staff isn't anything special though it has a low fear effect attached to it. Neloth gave me a Staff of Dread Zombies for returning it to him.

[ZackyZombify]

I never played morrowind, and I thought I really wouldn't have had a taste for it, but dragonborn has awed me so many times. I love it. Everything. There's maybe one or two things that I am upset with, but other than that I'm stunned.

[Musicman247]

Merged "Dragonborn - Your thoughts" with this existing thread discussing the DLC.

Keep all general Dragonborn discussion here.

It must be random then because I did this quest and the staff I had to find had an enchantment that made any summoned Daedra or Atronach fight for you instead of against you. I almost kept it, but I decided to just complete the quest.

[CBR JGWRR]

Command daedra spell, level 65 conjuration. Can be useful, but not as a staff really.

[Ysmir]

Must be dependent on level. My Dunmer Spellsword is only level 41 at the moment. So he gives you a random staff from his personal collection. Last time he gave me a staff it was a Staff of Expulsion (Send a Powerful summoned Daedra back to Oblivion)

[Loryth]

Does anyone have any tips on how to get passed the Miraak bug?

Spoiler:

Every time I try to beat him, he goes into ethereal mode and doesn't come out of it. The dragon soul he is supposed to absorb always goes to me. In the last attempt I made (after reloading many different saves) I did not cause him one bit of damage, it was all the serpent dragon. Nevertheless, he sprinted to the center of the arena, killed the other dragon (which hadn't even landed yet) and I got the soul.

Does anyone have any advice? This is soooo frustrating.

[Duderino Abides]

Spoiler:

I'm waiting for the PC version, but I've read that doing too much damage to him too soon causes the ethereal bug.

[Loryth]

I've heard that too but as I said, the last time I tried to beat him I, personally, did no damage to him. Same problem.

[NyarlathotepJr]

I know that with Dawnguard travelling away from Skyrim lead to my losing a Dead Thrall. Anyone know whether this will happen with Dragonborn? I did hear the noise of one of them "dying" as the ship left Windhelm.

What can I say, I collect useful Dead Thralls, and it would be a shame to lose one. On the plus side, Ingjard did come with me. She is not, however, happy to be in Solstheim. While in the past a Grand Heal spell left her saying something along the lines of, "Thanks!" now she says something like, "I suppose now you think you're better than me!"

Maybe she has an ash allergy.

Oh and where are the shops in Solstheim? I'm running out of pockets for storing loot, and so is Ingjard ...

Fethis Alor, Glover Mallory, and I forget his name but the NPC by the Silt Strider by Tel Mithryn. Inside Tel Mithryn itself Neloth and his apprentice can help you unload some items. If you've done the Black Book: Untold Legends and picked the Black Market power you can summon a Dremora NPC to trade with you.

Also the alpha of Frostmoon pack.
Edit: and the NPC at Ramshackle Trading Post. Most of the skaal also.

[Ysmir]

Alpha doesn't trade with me. Think it's cause I'm no werewolf so that may not apply to everyone.

Ramshackle has no NPC on my game.

[ZackyZombify]

Odd, it was one of the very first locations I found and there was an NPC there. I'll check back after this black book and see if I can fetch a name.

And yes it's only if you're a werewolf.

[Jive Turkey]

Wish there were some marriageable Redguard women, with all these Nords I'm starting to feel a little like OJ Simpson
