The allure of Skyrim has always been the ability to "speak" to dragons, and the Dragonborn DLC enhances and expands upon this concept in several valuable ways. This DLC packs a 10 + hour wallop, side quests not included, and it's certainly a larger departure than the bite-sized and inconsequential Hearthfire. Solstheim is rife with additional dungeons, mystery, and best of all, dragons.
The developers of Lordbound increased the scope as they became more familiar with the Creation Kit and got inspired by the original Skyrim.
Created by Bethesda Softworks, The Elder Scrolls is hailed as one of the most groundbreaking RPG franchises.
13 years after Skyrim's release, Bethesda is updating the game again. At this point, unfortunately, it's doing more harm than good.
As mentioned here, I hate that these updates are killing the mods. It took forever to get my crap ton of VR mods set up perfectly... now it's broken again.
