User blog comment:Jimeee/Dragonborn DLC trailer released./@comment-3492791-20121105230852

Nice to see that there is finally some enforcing of blog policy to stop those complainy anons from ruining our wholesome blog posts...Wait don't delete me that's not all I have to say!

Interesting premise. I've seen the topic of what would happen if one Dragonborn killed another a lot around here, I guess we'll get to see what Beth decided about it. However on the subject of this bloke (which I will now refer to as the Priestborn), if he was the very first Dragonborn. that means Akatosh decided that this guy was important enough to test out his whole demigod type idea on him. Then he became a Dragon Priest? One day a Dragon ate some bad shrimp and died, so Priestborn ate his soul and decided eating dragons was a lot more fulfilling than serving under their rule? Considering the whole premise of the dragon priest religion I can see this sort of "claiming godhood" business playing out. Or maybe he'll just be a psychotic compulsive eater.

To me it looks like parts of the island have been terraformed by the Dunmer to emulate Morrwind. Mostly making things full of dirt and giant mushrooms, but at least they found a way to distance the geography from Skyrim, if only partially. I also noticed a bunch of these dragon shrine looking things around that i'm fairly sure weren't there in bloodmoon, but whatever.

It looks like at some point we get pulled into a book. My best guess is maybe it's some sort of history that we experience in some sort of pseudo time travel. To me it looks like everything with the green sky filled with book pages is part of this world we go to. Possibly we go back to see what life was like with Priestborn living high, maybe even seeing he wasn't that bad of a guy? Probably not, but it would have been interesting.

Goblins? Goulm/zombie things? Some sort of vomiting chitin giant? Whatever the hell that thing is? These all seem like pretty cool new enemies. Also noticing some new weapons and armors. But above all that I noticed something maybe people may have missed. Dragonbone arrows. Seems like a small thing to point out but dragonbone weapons were added in Dawnguard, an add-on expansion pack. They would likely not have Dawnguard on whatever game they used for the trailer. This makes me wonder if they may possibly be including Dragonbone weapons in the Dragonborn add-on. Possible for PS3 players due to them being not being able to aquire them from Dawnguard. Maybe this might even be a sign they have given up on getting Dawnguard to work. Or maybe i'm just overthinking things again.

So dragonriding. Seems like they may have altered some of the mechanics and level design to allow for actually free flying dragons. I personally can't agree with that sort of thing, but what's done is done. As a direct rebuttal to Joker's concern of it breaking lore because "why would they bother", it seems like a hungry dragon priest wanting to eat them all would be urgent enough to offer us a ride if we're willing to help get rid of him. The odd part however is why exactly the dragons are trusting us to help kill this guy threatening to devour all the dragons, when we ourselves have like 200 dragon souls.

Lastly this old Nord bloke we see narrating the trailer is proably the "main quest giver" for this whole thing. But I find his face looks very familiar. Almost looks suspiciously like Arngeir, or maybe someone else I can't remember. Guess there are only so many "old man" faces they can make before they start looking the same. Also, holy shit this guy is wears literally the only winterwear in the entirety of Skyrim.
