Yes, we are aware that once upon a time Bethesda released that “horse armour” nonsense and caused the internet to topple on its axis for a whole Friday afternoon, but they’ve since learned from such rookie errors and their run of DLC has been well above average for years.Īdmittedly, the Skyrim DLC has been a mixed bag so far. No mean feat, as they say.Īs with their full games, Bethesda have cultivated a reputation over the years for producing quality DLC, perhaps only rivalled by the likes of Rockstar and Gearbox. Clocking in at anywhere between 20 and 200 hours depending on how invested you choose to become, it even managed to keep Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 out of the Christmas Number One spot. Say what you will about Skyrim (and it’s likely PS3 owners will do just that), but even with the carnival of bugs and glitches and patches, it’s a staggering example of world and game design.
But with Skyrim, the fifth game in the acclaimed The Elder Scrolls series, Bethesda surpassed everything they had ever achieved. Whether it’s the capital wasteland of Fallout 3, New Vegas’ titular fallen pleasure capital (it may have been Obsidian’s game, but it was Bethesda’s template all the way) or Oblivion’s stunning Cyrodiil, their worlds are immersive and deeply atmospheric, even upon the barren, post-Apocalyptic tundra of scorched Washington. Very few developers have a talent for creating game-worlds like Bethesda. Game: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Dragonborn DLCĪvailable on: Xbox 360 Only (coming soon to Windows PC and PlayStation 3)
