GAMINGtruth's own Derek Strickland delivers the verdict on Dragonborn, Bethesda's newest DLC add-on for their critically acclaimed multi-platform RPG Skyrim:
"Overall, Skyrim‘s new Dragonborn DLC is definitely the best add-on so far, featuring a plethora of weapons, armor, powers, shouts and a dynamic quest that arcs across the daedric realms. The return to Solsthiem is a fantastic journey that rekindles nostalgia within the seasoned Elder Scrolls gamer, and is a welcome vacation from Skyrim’s frosty expanse."
NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - It is now a mainstay of gaming that post a title's release, and DLC will accompany the game. Some of the most popular games of the last fifteen years have followed this practice. But there are some DLCs that are better than others. That stands on the shoulders of their base game, and in some cases… Surpass it. These are the 10 expansions that were better than the main game.
Damn, I feel stupid when years ago I played all the dlc for fallout 3 except the pitt. My younger ass looked at it and thought it was boring without trying I believe... Well good reason to fire up the old dusty ps3!
Solid list, I'd add inFamous: Festival of Blood, although it was a standalone download, it still felt like an inFamous 2 expansion.
Blood and Wine might be the best ever though.
I'd also add in Horizon The Frozen Wilds. As I started it, I wasn't sure I had the energy, but my God that was awesome. Some of the best weapons, enemies and missions in Horizon for sure.
Blood and Wine is always the reason these "best DLC of all time" list gets made in the first place nowadays.
Don't think CDPR can come any where near with any upcoming CP2077 DLC.
I have beaten Bloodborne but though i have the DLC I never played through it. For now I want to wait and see if it gets a Bluepoint remake.
"With having no internet at the moment I’ve had a chance to go back through my steam library and play games I wouldn’t normally go back and play, and Skyrim is one of them. With the new remaster, and no modding capabilities while I’m offline, what better way to experience the game than the “Vanilla Deluxe” version."
" no modding capabilities while I’m offline " lol consoles.Also,modding tools???Ever heard about them more than 6-7+ years now???no?It shows.
LOLOLOLOL right?!?!?! Bahahahahaha. Holy crap that was some funny stuff. I was LOLing all over the place. Someone help me. I think I pissed myself!
I got the game for free on pc and I have over 200 mods installed (many of which I converted myself from the original Skyrim). Within 120 hours of gameplay I've only had 4-5 crashes (always mod related)and it looks beautiful. Even on my monster rig the original skyrim crashed regularly with half the mods I have now and it didn't look as good or run as well. I'm more than happy with the remaster.
i have 600+ mods installed for my cousin,cleaned every dirty edit,ugrid 11 and never had a crash in 100 hours,ulta/4k/110+ fps unlocked.Looks massively better than the remaster.
Is there no mod limit in the SE? Also, what are your pc specs if you're getting that FPS with mods? I have a pretty beastly system and my FPS took a big dive with all the mods I'm running and I even dropped down to 1080p. Also, isn't ugrids 11 extremely unreliable and causes a ton of glitches related to NPC AI behavior?
Sli asus 1080s oc,i7 5820k 4,4 ghz,32 gb ram.Its close to 600 last time i checked ugrids first at 7,9 and were stable.11 also seem stable,but i have the game for my cousin and brother.Havent seen any weird npc behaviour.Graphics mods i use are the usual such as DynDOLOD,climates of tamriel,folra overhaul,grass on steroids,parallax etc.Gonna try noble skyrim at some time.No aa,just reshade. http://www.nexusmods.com/sk...

Dragonborn takes the best elements from Morrowind's classic Bloodmoon expansion and integrates them with incredible graphics and a variety of in-game features that will keep you busy for days!
Great review, Derek! Now I really want to play it, lol.
I love this game. Got addicted all over again when I got both DLC paks.
You become a GOD once you get The Cyclone shout, the wirlwind cloak, Ebony flesh, Ice spear, incinerate and telekinesis. It's like a new game.
There is actually a better magic amour that is new but Im not saying LOL
Serana's AI Code is superior to all other followers plus she seems to level with you at a much higher cap?(Seen Serana on here belly on the ground in my house BS with my two kids that were both on the ground as well, kicking their legs) Got a house full, two kids, A husband, serana the follower and Jordis in solitude. Building a house here and there.
Have not used a companion from Dragonborn yet.
