Forbes - Skyrim 'Dawnguard' Review: An Expansion, but Not Expansive

Forbes writes: Skyrim is all about wide open spaces, but its first piece of DLC feels like it has tunnel vision. Whether you are killing vampires or joining them, there are some engaging quests and diversions from the rest of the game without too much new content.

A purplish wasteland here, a curiously ineffectual Vampire Lord there, and you end up back crafting daggers in Markath after a few hours.

A few new treks and tricks are enough to gobble the cash of the Skyrim faithful, but this expansion doesn’t feel expansive enough to live up to the

very disappointing - what happened to the promise of DLC quality & excellence Bethesda ?

ApolloTheBoss4730d ago

Yeah gonna have to agree with you. It was nothing like I thought it be. Just a few new hubs but no giant expansion like Shivering isles.

MS could compress their games on disc

Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.

Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim

ActualWhiteMan30d ago

Yeah totally. Definitely won’t be hacking it Nintendo 🤞🏻

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic57d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee58d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator58d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast57d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.
