Forbes - Skyrim 'Dawnguard' Review: An Expansion, but Not Expansive

Forbes writes: Skyrim is all about wide open spaces, but its first piece of DLC feels like it has tunnel vision. Whether you are killing vampires or joining them, there are some engaging quests and diversions from the rest of the game without too much new content.

A purplish wasteland here, a curiously ineffectual Vampire Lord there, and you end up back crafting daggers in Markath after a few hours.

A few new treks and tricks are enough to gobble the cash of the Skyrim faithful, but this expansion doesn’t feel expansive enough to live up to the

very disappointing - what happened to the promise of DLC quality & excellence Bethesda ?

That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game

Do people not want to play a new game? Like, I’d rather see 6 than just a prettier version of a game we’ve been playing since the 360/PS3 gen…

Yes please. Did pretty much everything there was to do in this game. Took a very long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Skyrim is one of my all-time favorites, but I would prefer a new experience.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

anast68d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22968d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko68d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way
