Skyrim: 10 Things We Want To See In Dawnguard DLC

It’s surprising that we haven’t had any Skyrim DLC yet, considering the immense popularity of the game, yet Bethesda have recently popped the bubble of suspense by announcing Dawnguard. Bestowed with the vague release of “summer” on Xbox 360, it won’t be long before we get even more content for Skyrim. Bethesda aren’t always particularly generous with their DLC offerings however, so below we’ve listed ten things we think they really ought to offer in Dawnguard.

High Production Values

Bethesda will have to pull it out of the bag to beat mods like this

A rather obvious point, but Dawnguard is unlikely to get off the ground without some serious polish. Maybe console users will be happy for any kind of content but, considering the high quality third party mods that the PC version of the game has been subject too, Bethesda will need to bring their A game to the development of Dawnguard. After all, it would be pretty embarrassing if they were shown up by their fans.

A Meaty Set of Quests

Considering the time we will have waited for Dawnguard, it would be a total let down if it’s anything less that a “full” expansion pack. Small tweaks and a handful of quests isn’t going to cut it. We’ll be wanting a proper new quest line with a solid story, proper continuity with the game’s lore and new characters and factions.

A New World

Of the two expansion packs released for Oblivion, The Shivering Isles was much more impressive than The Knights of Nine expansion. Why? Simply because The Shivering Isles offered a completely new setting, while the Knights add on generally re-used locations within Cyrodil. Let’s hope Dawnguard takes us to a new world as, whilst I love Skyrim as much as the next guy, a change of scenery would be nice.

The first Skyrim DLC will be available on the Xbox 360 first, and if you remember just like Fallout 3, the DLCs are timed exclusive. We don’t have much information on the DLC as Bethesda only posted an image, but we will keep you updated once they reveal more information.

You can check out their official blog over here.

PC and PS3 owners do have to wait a little bit, but hopefully it won’t be that long of a wait. The Xbox 360 version, meanwhile, get’s a few more goodies like Kinect support. Here are the voice commands for the same if you missed it. It’s an infographic so you don’t really have to go through a lot of boring text.

The DLC will eventually end up on the PS3 and PC. Xbox 360 owners get to have fun first. Tell us what you think in the comments section below.

Kinect support is coming to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It will feature more than 200 Voice Commands.

Adding a new dimension to Skyrim’s gameplay, the Kinect for Xbox 360 integration offers Voice Commands throughout the game including Dragon Shouts, Hotkey Equipping, Follower Commands, and all Menus (Items, Magic, Map, Barter, Container, Favorites, and Skills). With Voice Commands, quickly create and load saves during gameplay and access menus and inventories. Skyrim’s Kinect for Xbox 360 Support also adds new functionality including special map functions, additional hotkey options, and the ability to sort inventory items by name, weight, and value.

Bethesda Games will also be creating the first set of game add-ons that will be exclusive to the Xbox 360.
