I need that dragon killing bow.

Here.
Interesting, though I don't see how they can start exploring the story of the Snow Elves unless they use a time travel mechanic. Which would be kinda lame. The snow prince was laid to rest in Solstheim, though, so maybe that's where we're going?
Snow elf DLC would be all right, tho there is so much more to the lore I would want explored.
But they really are a sad story, maybe it help sheds light on the Dwelmer affair too, which would be good.

My guess? The Snow Prince awakens in Solstheim and his Falmer/Snow Elves start ransacking the island. You go there, find a way to get to his frozen ass, learn all there is to know about the Snow Elves from him, then kick his ass back into his barrow.
You mean exactly the kind of thing they did in the main quest
Sounds interesting, can't wait for more info

Well, not technically, it was more like a flashback. :lol

I'm really not sure about Snow Elf DLC, I've fought so many of those bloody Falmer I'm not sure I want DLC involving potentially fighting even more of them. Plus the Elven races look so ugly.
So I guess I'm stuck with an un-marriable Erik the Slayer? Is it possible to load my PS3 save on a PC, use the console command then transmute it back into a PS3 save?
Gaf help! I'm in love with a man who won't reciprocate my feelings.
Erik the Slayer is bugged and won't swoon over me when I wear my amulet of Mara. I've tried hiring and re-hiring him multiple times and I even 'reset' him with the Wabbajack but yet he still spurns me. Is there anything I can do to fix him? Bear in mind I'm playing on PS3 and have no access to the console commands. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that such a well documented bug still exists.

I imagine Snow Elves are very different from the Falmer.

So I tried playing this last night and I haven't played in almost 3 months that I felt so overwhelmed with how much I still had to do that I just stopped playing. Last time I played I was going for 1000/1000GS. I'm definitely gonna get the DLC when it's announced though.

I hope so, really got tired of the Falmer and certainly don't want a whole expansion based around them.
Finally "finished" it after 82 hours. My backlog is getting too big so I had to force myself to plow through the main quest. I was pretty disappointed by the lack of closure after going through it
but it's still possibly my favorite game ever. Definitely the most I've played any game in a very long time.
(no credits or anything?)

I'm at 175 hours. Finished the main quest tonight. I think I'm going to finish up the Civil War quest line and the few Daedric quests I have left before calling it quits until the DLC comes out. Who am I kidding, I'll probably sink another 20 hours into. Skyrim has been my white whale. My backlog is weeping. I need to take a hiatus and get used to gaming post-Skyrim.
Haven't played since early March, but jumping back in now to check out many of the cool new mods for weapons and armor. Looking forward to seeing the DLC, as I'll surely buy it. Snow elves would be okay.. although I hope that's not the entire extent of the update.

Welp I just finished the main quest this weekend with my level 42 mage after 137 hours of gameplay. It was both cool and a little bit of a letdown at the same time. I kind of enjoyed the mage college questline more, lol. I will say that I had a kind of difficult time with the few fights towards the end. I won't go into details because of spoilers and such, but yeah I had a hard time with my straight up cloth only mage. Many potions were quaffed throughout the end. I'm not done playing this character by any means, but I am taking a break from him for now.
And on that note, I started a new character last night, this time an Imperial Ranger of sorts. I'm going to focus stat points on melee with one handed weapons and a shield, bows for ranged, and maxing smithing. I'm already at level 10 and I have to say that melee is damned fun. Damned Fun. The kill animations are SO much better for melee than they are for magic, it's not even fair. And by better I mean brutal. I killed the first dragon by literally climbing onto it's back and stabbing my sword down through it's skull!!! Even my gf was amazed by that one. And the visual appeal of wearing all kinds of armor and weapons sure is nice. My mage looked the exact same way for his last 25 levels, no lie. I'm beginning to feel like straight mages got the shaft in this game a tad. I may forego the bows completely and focus solely on melee, it's nice to get in everything's face after playing 42 levels of "kill from distance".
And there is still so much to explore and see in this game. I haven't even been married yet, nor taken a side in the war, nor beaten every dragon priest, and certainly not acquired every shout. I think I'll be playing this game off and on for a very long time yet....

In terms of appearance it seems like mages get the shaft in a lot of games. Their clothing options always seem to be nothing more than a variety of smocks. I know the traditional look for a mage is that they wear dresses but I'd like to see a mage outfitted in a bit of minor armour every once in a while. Say what you want about Dragon Age 2 but the final mage gear was fucking cool. Stuff some of that sort of equipment in Skyrim and I'd be all over a mage class.

Get Married
Reach Level 50
Collect 15 Daedric Artifacts
I'm at level 47 so really the only one that will take a bit of effort is the 15 artifacts.
How many artefacts do you have? They're some of the most interesting quests in the game, it feels like Bethesda let their hair down with them.

I'm calling Solstheim.
With the leaks about the Snow Prince, Morrowind's landmass already being in the game, and it being the 10th anniversary of TES III, I just find it really likely.
If it is a new location, I would hope there's new music to accompany it. Shivering Isles was great, but it felt weird to me that it was all the same music, the place needed something stranger.
Not a deal-breaker, but I'm hoping.

This reminds me I have to try Morrowind again. I have it installed and had a good game going, but then the Dark Brotherhood startet hunting me every time I tried to sleep and I somehow got stuck in their cave without the means to heal myself or defeat the enemies, so I gave up.
So yeah, this is my story, Morrowind beat me.
Edit:
I just noticed a huge argument pro-Empire. The logo of the game is the logo of the Empire.
Checkmate Ulfric.

I just had a rather odd fast travel mishap! I was walking around Riverwood when I bumped into Sigrid who was moping because her husband Alvor had died the day before in a dragon attack. Anyway I was sick of her constant moaning so decided to fast travel out of there, to the middle of nowhere on the other side of the map. So I'm walking down a rocky road when I hear "Boohoo Alvor, waawaa", I turn around and Sigrid is right there! Miles away from Riverwood. She somehow got scooped up in the fast travel along with me and my follower/unrequited love/unreciprocating love, Erik the Slayer.
God knows how she's going to get all the way back to Riverwood by herself. It looks like poor Dorthe will be an orphan before long.

I think like 5 or 6. The one in Dawnstar was one of my favorites.

Was hoping for some info today but eh...at least it's official now,
...Perhaps an expansion?
No shit. I'm saying they're acting like this expansion is a whole new title with the way they're promoting it...
From the gaming side thread:
Yeah. Pretty much.
haha thats funny!

So can anyone tell me if they fixed the 360 version yet? Something about the textures not loading if you install the disc.
Yes, that was fixed shortly after launch.
