Hi Annie---yes, I just saw that the other day about pre-ordering--got for it.

Oh and also, I'm with you on the Thalmor thing---I hate those guys and have been wishing that there was a mod or something that would let us maybe get captured, then break out of their embassy and kill them! LOL I'm going to cross my fingers about Dragonborn having something like that---you never know!

Yeah, it would be nice to have something that would bring the Stormcloak and Imperials together to crush the Thalmor.

AnneG--that's a great idea!

Hmm, well I read a pretty good review and the DLC looks good. I just checked my Steam account and the dlc is available to preorder now but won't be unlocked until 5 Feb. However, that is now only 5 days away so it looks like I'll get to immerse myself into this great game once again.

Sounds like you are ready to go!

I'm very excited. Getting my current character on the pc all ready to go. I have a bunch of soul gems and potions tucked away, enchanted both sets of armor that I wear on a regular basis, charged up my favorite weapons. Just going to finish up the Companion quests while I wait.

Here's a pic of my current nord lady, with her buddy, Vilja, who will be traveling to Solstheim with her.

Very nice!

Anyone else playing yet? I'm having a wonderful time!

I'm so glad

I just started and am doing my first side quest. Killing the bandit leader in Fort Frostmoth. I see (and hear) a lot of Morrowind in this DLC which makes me rather nostalgic.

My horse didn't travel with me though and I am traveling on foot. I've read that there are dragons to ride? Anyway I am also enjoying the DLC so far.

Just remembered that I finished Dawnguard and have Arvak to summon so I do have a horse after all.

Last night I made the journey all the way around the edge of Solstheim, and I saw some wonderous things. This is a great adventure. Hope to see you all there soon.

Ohhhh I want to ride a dragon

Dragon riding looks a little complicated and may not be worth the effort. I may try it on a dragon once I've learned the necessary shouts. Anyway here is the Dragon Riding Information

Thanks Oldman...let me know if you try it.

Well at the end of the DLC riding the dragon is mandatory and I wasn't overly impressed. I couldn't figure out how to get it to go to a particular point on the map and I finally just hit the action key and it landed where it was supposed to.

I don't really see any advantage to riding a dragon in regular play. The fast travel with the map does just as good a job and I have the mod to make the horses run faster so I don't think I'll be doing any more dragon traveling.
