I've actually grown fond of the soul cairn. I know where everything is. I don't mind the atmosphere as I used to. I guess that's what happens when you've played 6 files. It's not the best place, but I'd take the Sould Cairn over any Dwemer ruin any day. Except for Blackreach. 6? is that all? i've played Skyrim on at least a dozen different characters across 5 PSN accounts (2 NA and 1 each for EU, Asia and Japan). when it comes time for me to play the Dawnguard DLC, i'm in and out as quick as possible. while there, i do attempt to try and get at least 2 of the Conjuration books to summon a Mistman or Boneman or a Wrathman. honestly, there really is no need to stay any longer than to get the Elder Scroll (and the piece of your soul that Serena 'soul trapped' if you chose to go that route to keep your Werewolfedness). Different people have different experiences. I do agree that you're in there longer than you should but it's not horrendous once you know your way inside. like i said, tis best to go the "In & Out" route asap. first time in there, its ok to explore to get St Juibs locket and deal with the Reaper. next time 'round, i'm gonna deal with the 3 Gaurdians and grab their Dragonbone weapons before chatting with Valerica >:D
