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 ?

ApolloTheBoss4100d 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.

I liked the Red Dead 2 opening, certainly didn’t feel like a slog to me, but I enjoyed that whole game so for those who were just expecting ‘GTA but with cowboys’, that was probably not the opening they expected, and Red Dead 2 wasn’t the game they were hoping for …

First game that came to mind when I read the title, was Watch Dogs 2, because you’re expecting an open world sandbox game in sunny colorful San Francisco, and instead that opening has you crawling and sneaking around an incredibly boring office building …

Watch Dogs 2 is a decent game but not really a classic. The opening is awful though. You got that right.

I loved the RDR 2 opening hours the first time but going back to restart it is where the rub lies for me.

Yeah, I agree it’s not a classic, but it was the first game I thought of where I really thought; Why would you make that design choice!? If you’re gonna do a thing like that in order to teach the player some basic sneaking controls, at least make the location a bit more interesting, like an abandoned theme park or gorgeous temple or whatever, but now the gameplay was restrictive and boring, but also the location itself.

@Yi-Long Definitely true re the worst possible choices being made for the opener of Watch Dogs 2. I did enjoy WD2 overall but that intro is baffling :-D
