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.

Thanks! I guess I don't need the new content just to ride the dragon then

I'm taking a breather. Being retired means I have too much time to play. And there are some tough puzzles, at least for me. I'm sure Oldman had no problem!

Sometimes a break is just the thing to let your subconscious work out those hard problems.

Thanks, Looney! I am of course brilliant, but some kinds of puzzles (i.e. anything in Myst) completely defeat me. Although, I did once solve a Myst puzzle, but it was an accident.

Me too

Hey everyone. I just got back after being out of town for awhile and was happily reminded that I bought Dragonborn before I left. I've been playing it today and am so excited----mostly because I've been missing Morrowind and playing this is like having a taste of Morrowind w/ Blood Moon installed.

I'm having fun gathering quests and Ash Yams, plus am scared of those ash things that come out of the ground. Very cool! I hope you guys are enjoying it too and I'll be back with more gushing as I get deeper into Solstheim!

Tracy, who is wondering if hubby and kitties will mind if she disappears completely and forever into this game!

Hi Tracy! Glad you are back. You are needed once again to save the world, so I'm sure the kitties and hubby will understand.

Annie---LOL! I hope you're right. And if not, who cares! (Just kidding! lol)

btw you guys, there is a quest where you need to do a shout, and so you have to have dragon souls, but whenever I try to get one either in Solstheim or Skyrim, the "bad guy" (trying not to spoil!) comes by and takes them from me. Has anyone gotten to this point and how did you get your dragon souls?

Thanks so much,
Tracy

Welcome back and have fun!

Tracy -- Fear not, the Bad Man won't take all the dragon souls. I wasn't counting but I think he only took about half of them, so you should be able to score enough to do the new shout.

I'm finished with Dragonborn, and I loved it even more than Dawnguard. Now I'll wait a short while for my aged brain to forget everything so I can play it again.

This is a new one on me. I've got over 800 hours logged into this game including both DLC's and have yet to run into anyone who takes my dragon souls. Perhaps you could put a spoiler in and let me know more? I'm curious.

Spoiler about bad guy getting the souls.

Cool, but I was really wondering who the "bad guys" are as I never ran in to them.

The man who's stealing the dragon souls is....

Hi everyone---thanks for your help! I was able to finally get the stones taken care of and realized that I did still have dragon souls even after you-know-who took them. lol I've beaten the "bad guy" and am wishing that this DLC would last forever because there's something about it that I just love.

Thanks for all of your help you guys---hope you're all doing well in and out of the game---lol---and I'm off to hang out in my "new" house. Yay!

Tracy, more secrets, trying not to give them all away when I hint about stuff

Thank you. That satisfies my curiosity. For some reason I never had that problem as I've already finished both those quests.
