Well that was darker than I was expecting, oh well, still getting Day 1.

So not day 1 for ps3, I swear ps3 is like the broke ugly stepchild in the corner.

this looks fucking amazing.... all I want is to be able to use my character if you have to start a new one I'll probably just wait for a sale or something.
Your microphone doesn't have a processor to handle the commands like Kinect, and Kinect gives a standard quality level for everyone. Plus pre existing APIs.

This is incredibly underwhelming, considering they were talking about each DLC for this being expansion-sized. This basically seems like two guild quest lines.

The DLC will probably break the game so they can use the extra 6 months to patch it so it actually works.

I absolutely loved Skyrim. I'm just not ready to play more of it yet. Totally burnt out on the combat mechanics. I'll pick it up, but it definitely won't be a day one purchase for me.
Rainbow Six Raven Shield didn't either on xbox....

This. Mounted combat, I'm excited about that.

Well, to be fair, it's not really a 'decision' on Bethesda's end. Microsoft paid for it.

So Bethesda couldn't say, no sorry we want the DLC to be multiplatform same day release? It's a moneyhat.
Jump the gun much?

Yes, but if it had used Kinect it could use the extra horsepower for improving the actual game.
Not only that but voice recognition is tricky to begin with, let alone when you have a ton of different quality 3rd party mics that could have differing results with voice recog.
Having Kinect as the standard is a great way to ensure consistency and quality.
Based on how long they've been (probably long before Skyrim was released even.) working on this, how much it costs, how much they made from Skyrim, and their experience with the engine the game runs on, I pretty much expect this DLC to be quite a bit bigger than Shivering Isles. I'd be disappointed if it was much smaller, and really disappointed if there's not even a big new island/world to explore.

Quick question: I haven't beaten Skyrim yet
... will this trailer spoil the ending?
(in terms of the main quest, I just had a fight with the boss dragon on the Throat of the World after I used the elder scroll to go back in time and learn the dragon shout)

No its not. There are two more areas, one of them awesome!
You edited!
And yeah, it shows nothing about the main game.
Agreed. That's the sort of thing I want from DLC, in terms of both pricing and amount of content.

I'm 100% sure you couldn't.
But Dawnguard, yeah. I'm upset that it won't add any large open areas to explore, but I at least appreciate it for thinking outside the Elder Scrolls box of "ancient evil threatens, you are the chosen one".

Looks amazing.
My character's already a werewolf, I'm with the Dawnguard.

Solstheim was there before they started developing Bloodmoon, though. It was reasonable for them to head there for an expansion. There's no islands the size of that near Tamriel, except for the Summerset Isles. I half-expected them to head to Artaeum, that could've tied in with both the Mages Guild and the Civil War questline.

They could do a piece of Atmora north of Skyrim...

That would've been cool, but that would've pissed off a lot of the 'I WANT SOMETHING EXOTIC'-crowd. Atmora's even colder than Skyrim. :lol

I can only comment on what they chose to show in the trailer. What they showed was underwhelming to me.

Underwhelming and saying "This expansion is just two questlines nothing more" are two very different things.
At least wait for a bullet point list before jumping to that conclusion.

I would hope this pack adds some vampire/demon infested valley that we can explore and not just a castle on the world map that wasn't there before.

I said "it seems like two guild questlines", emphasis on seems like because that's all I can really see in the video. Can we really infer much else from this trailer? No. I'll happily read more details about this expansion, but at the end of the day if this is supposed to get me hyped for spending 20 bucks, it's not really doing its job. It's not jumping to conclusions for me to be underwhelmed personally if the marketing video isn't marketing what I'm interested in at me.
If there's a lot more to this expansion then this isn't a very good trailer. If it does add a lot more then, yes, awesome, but that doesn't really make this video better does it? I'm happy to spend mo' money on Skyrim, but so far this isn't selling me.

Atmosphere is a nice change of pace from Vanilla Skyrim. Very excited. Day 31.
Nope.
Also, FYI you guys don't need to wait for the expansion to try out the mounted combat, PC players can grab it now off of the Steam beta update, console players I'm not sure when but I'm sure the patch will be live well before the expansion.
Mounted combat takes some getting used to but it's decently done.
Face it Tiger..

As long as Fallion can cure me after I get bored, I'm in there Day 1.

Nice new features, but ugh, I really can't stand the look of vanilla Skyrim. Hope all mods work fine when this hits.

Looks pretty good. I'll be getting it for pc so I guess I'll be waiting a month for it to be released and then another month or two for the mods I use to be updated for it.

I hope its similar in scope to Shivering Isles, with long questlines and a large new map with multiple new areas, been hyped for some Skyrim DLC
In what universe is Two Worlds superior to Oblivion? The only thing Two Worlds was better at was at making me laugh. That voice-acting was The Room-levels of awful.

It's crazy OP if you have... a certain horse modded to be immortal (as she should have been anyway).
Basically she eats the damage and you just keep slashing. Enemies seem to attack your horse and not the player.
