I enjoyed Dawnguard the most honestly. I loved how they fleshed out Vampire gameplay with the Vampire Lord form,the skill trees for vampires and werewolves but the thing that puts it just above Dragonborn for me is the lore regarding The Falmer and their spiral into the creature's we know them as today. I also got a lot of use out of the items and spells that it added into the game.
@Ralis Sedarys lol then you haven't played it properly since you literally get two op shouts in dragonborn dlc which are dragon aspect and bend will. Also the enemies are way better and tougher than dawnguard. You get seekers, lurkers, dragon, dragon priests to fight where in dawnguard all you have to fight master vampires which become boring at one point. Also harkon felt like a crappy boss compared to miraak
@Shaurya Deshmukh I highly recommend playing Dragonborn. You'll get some really cool shouts, and one of the side quests rewards you Ahzidal's armor set, one perfect for enchanter.
@I am Spartacus! I only use it while using enchanting. After that, the armor goes on the manequin again. But those 10 points are a big deal though, especially when you're going to max out.
@Nav I You are tripping, for I even don't exist. 😂 Just kidding of course. :) But I think you're right. Tripping or not, your memories didn't run away with you as it might be me who had said that about the armor. But know that Tulius armor only works that way in the base game. When you have installed the Unofficial Patch the armor's Defence rating will interfere with the flesh spells in the Alteration tree. Personally I find that a minor issue considering all the good that this patch has to offer. I prefer a stable yet less powerful game over an unstable one with all the power at my fingertips.
Dawnguard is my favourite because it wasn't all about the dragonborn being dragonborn, it was about being a vampire hunter or a vampire which was different to the main quest and the dragonborn dlc. I'm just happy it was different to the dragonborn based stories (which I like) but don't want 3 quest lines based on it
One think I really did like about Dragonborn was the fact we get to see Solsthiem over 200 years after the events of Morrowind and how the island was affected by "The Red Year" and not only that....We got Neloth and his sass from it.
@Shaurya Deshmukh I like it alot. It adds loads of new content. I'll keep it spoiler free for you, but the only Downside is a very tedious dungeon at the end. And it's style is repeated throughout the dlc. Aside from that though, it's class.
"The DLC also added in a dragon riding mechanic, that is, honestly I say with the upmost professional critique I can, its shit." - StraightUpIrish may 2020. You just gotta love him.
Played Skyrim for a very long time like back in the 360 days then took a couple years break and I just now bought Skyrim special edition that comes with the DLCs you've mentioned for $19!
...I enjoyed Dawnguard the least. I absolutely thought Seranna's story was cringe and ruined some of the better moments of Dawnguard. Dawnguard also went through the mental gymnastics to make way for Seranna. For example, that first conversation with Seranna. How do you come fight all those vampires and she has to *tell* you she's one? Clownish. There was no reason for you to blindly take her home, so I headed back to Fort Dawnguard. Only for Isran, the mofo who has a torture chamber for vampires, is just "... uh yeah lets get her back home, and then I'll get mad at you for losing the Elderscroll." I also just didn't like having her as a forced companion and she was mad trash in combat. It's okay for her to not trust my character, but I cannot do the same against her. You can tell her you're not friends and still have the option to become a vampire lord. That "turning is intimate" is so fucking funny! Daddy Harkon really wanted to smash the Dragonborn. The only real choice you make in Dawnguard is your flavor of being a vampire lord or the dumbest vampire hunter ever. You couldn't even be a normal vampire and side with Dawnguard but Seranna is the "speshial une esshecpsion". Dawnguard wasn't just the clown, it was the entire circus. At least Dragonborn wasnt that damn clownish.
I almost wish there were more DLCs to cover in Skyrim. 😁 Can’t fault a lad for his opinions, so concisely delivered, with reason & logic. I don’t even know how to choose an order because there were things I really enjoyed about each DLC that were vastly different from each other. The mommy in me loves the architecture of different homes for different purposes, all over Skyrim & (with mods) raising a large brood of wee ones, like the fricken Brady Bunch, & including different races of kiddos than vanilla Nords. I remember loving being a vamp lord (really need to follow the other side this time) & messing with Elder Scrolls + Volkihar Castle is great. Probably need a mod to take it over after stopping Harkon. Unlike others, I didn’t mind the Doul Cairn & explored it thoroughly & easily. And, in Dragonborn, while I hated the Miraak fight that was always glitchy and an absolute ass pain, when it was done, I was happy to take his stuff. I didn’t mind Hermaeus Mora taking the glory. F Miraak with all dem tentacles 🦑. I don’t give a 💩. Solstheim is always a treat. And Neloth is muh Boi, ornery though he may be. I always joined (via glitch) both Hlaalu & Telvanni Houses in Morrowind, but liked the latter more. Big fan of the ginormous shrooms. Got a mod for building a sort of house/tiny settlement in the Iliac Bay that is a Telvanni Shroom. I also enjoy some of the ship mods like The Scarlett & others, so I am hoping the rumors of ship usage in TES6 turn out to be true, despite the “leaks” being fake. Also, after using follower Inigo, all others pale in comparison & can’t wait for more updates to him. He eats sweet rolls & May sing you funny songs about your adventures together. He is naturally muffled and doesn’t easily get spotted (still does sometimes), doesn’t set off traps he walks over and he actually whispers his replies when you’re sneaking. He even had a couple of funny lines when with Ma’iq. He interacts with other companions or pet followers, has lots of control in regards to that or not doing it & with fighting style and following distance, et cetera. Okay, I will just keep going on about him if I don’t curb myself from kissing 💋 his arse 🍑 more. I respect your opinions on these DLCs. Would love to see you try different mods & give opinions on them. If you like vamps, there’s Sacrosanct there’s or Better Vamps. Werewolves? Growl, Moonlight & others. And, for the love of god, how do you sleep at night, not having finished Morrowind’s Shivering Isle? Get on it!
@@Lost_In_Peace Why, thank you. At almost 48, somehow, after about 14 years, my husband still thinks so, too! 😆 My kids, not so much. They aren’t even into the same kinda things we like, like certain comics, movies & games. There’s hope for my almost 8 yr old, but my almost 13 yr old is a lost cause on that front. 🤣 If I hadn’t had them myself, would’ve sworn they were adopted! 😂
In terms of game play, Dragonborn. I don't know if I could live without some of the Black Book powers like Companion's Insight. Story though? Definitely Dawnguard. While I like all of the lore, Serena is just... wow. There's no other character in the game that gets as fleshed out as Serena, and it really shows with how likeable she is.
Honestly I think the reason so many people prefer dawnguard the best is bc in Dragonborn it just recovers what the vanilla game covered…(it’s about being Dragonborn) to where as the dawnguard dlc gives a breath of fresh air with the whole vampire story arc… and hearth fire doesn’t even have a story arc it’s just adding a house building feature so I hardly even count it as a full DLC. Not even close to DLC 1 or 2
Dragonbord DLC is clearly better, no matter from what angle to look at it. One not bad questline vs a large location with lots of new dungeons, caves, npcs, quests, weapons, enemies etc. And as an addition to it, the DLC is connected to the Morrowind DLC, which can add some points lore-wise.
For me 1. Dragonborn - because of Miraak and Hermapples 2. Dawnguard because vampires and 3. Shitfire cause building a basic house and having a useless family is just 2 things I could not give a flying fuck about.
Serana not being marriable is a crime! I like Dragonborn more than Dawnguard because I like how unique and original the story and premise is. There's a story focusing on vampires, which have been done a fuck ton (doesn't mean I hate anything that focuses on vampires, just that I like things I don't experience often more because it's fresh. I liked Dawnguard, and I liked 28 Days Later, etc), then there's a story focusing on an enemy that can absorb freaking wyvern souls and control weak people's minds.
for Me dawnguard is the "truest" skyrim dlc as it really extend skyrim lore and system and is a overhault of the base game. it added dragonbone weapon that weren't in the base game, craft arrow too, added crossbow, 2 faction and improve the werewolf/vampire system that were pretty basic in the base game and most important it game us new information about the falmer that were the most specific piece of lore of skyrim ( i mean you encounter some snow elve lore in the warrior and mage guild but dawnguard continue on that and that was really satisfying for me). dawnguard was really dedicated to skyrim. But dragonborn is weird because it take place in solstheim and by having this location it really feel disconected from skyrim. we already had solstheim in bloodmoon so why choose this location again and after that they just came up with the story of the first dragonborn and it just feel forced to me. everyone that play skyrim was more ingaged in the civil war, guild and overall lore than in the dragonborn story and origin, i really hoped they would choose an other subject for this dlc, they could have expand the civil war story, give us new information about the great collapse of winterhold, make us explore the sea of ghost or the hammerfell border to expand the thalmor storyline.
Honestly for me its 1. Hearthfire, i do this every playthrough i love making a family 2. dawnguard, i just enjoyed the experiance 3, dragonborn, this dlc was always bugged so i could never kill mirak
@@agentsmith6161 Honestly it doesnt really matter since hearthfire is just house building. Dragonborn is like an extension of the main story and dawnguard is just fighting vampires
Skyrim has some good writing, things are explained well, the mechanics/gameplay is good, etc. I think it deserves more than a 7. I would give it a 9 or 10. Anyway, my DLCs is: 1. Dawnguard (10/10) 2. Dragonborn (9/10 or 10/10) 3. Hearthfire (8.5/10) Maybe you could also do rankings for the other Elder Scrolls games’ DLC.
3.Hearthfire 2.Dragonborn 1.Dawnguard I've only ever played Skyrim in VR which is why Dawnguard beats Dragonborn. Solstheim is really boring, depressing, and just gray everywhere in vr so I just can't stand being there for too long. Just my opinion.
Dawnguard and dragonborn are a tie for me I love new vampire mechanics and different sides you can choose from and nust more options in general dragonborn in my opinion had a better story,good villian character who is a dragon born,awesome boss fight making you use everything you have and amazing shouts and powers not to mention I love how its a whole new map you can travel around elder scrolls previous games before
Dawnguard... best DLC in gaming history! Its just special for me. Serana, Harkon, my dear Clan Volkihar. They will always have a special place in my hearth. Dragonborn is cool and all but in my opinion much more cliche. Dawnguard is special and it did something new- option to not be a nice guy. Option to not be that good nordic hero warrior that always saves the day. Hell yeah you can be a villain! PS: Love you Todd. PSS: Love you Irish
But dawnguard is pretty shit in the regard that it literally deviates the player from being dragonborn and being dragonborn feels underwhelming when you have vampire Lord not to mention dragonborn has way better shouts and enemies than dawnguard
While I will simp for Serana for eternity, Dragonborn is far superior imo. Dragon riding was a total let down tho. But so was being a vampire… and the house building lol.
I’d agree with 7 for Skyrim. After going back and playing it, I’d say it feels soulless and lifeless in comparison to oblivion. Which I’d probably rate 8.5/9. I know it had its own issues but the quests were superior and the game hooked you. It had so much charm and o never got bored playing it. Skyrim felt dull in comparison.
Although Dawnguard is my favourite DLC I also give it a 9/10 but not because of the same reasons. The plothole didn't really bother me much but the thing that did bother me was goddamn Serana (I know, controversial opinion) she was the worst follower I have ever seen. You pretty much have to go with her even if you are playing as a vampire hunter that hates vampires, you can't kill her during the story so it feels like the vampire hunters aren't even doing their job, just allowing a vampire to roam the fort because she decided to show up with a scroll on her back. I personally think she should've been killed by the Dawnguard after she had exhausted her use with the elder scrolls if you sided with them and gave them the ability to kill her. (I do think there should still be an option to keep her around rather than killing her if you like her that much though) Dawnguard, 9/10, Serana sucks and ruined some of it for me seeing that the best you can do is tell her that you should part ways. I give Hearthfire an 8/10. It's a DLC that is quite relaxing and you get to choose what house you want to build and where you want to build it (out of 3 locations). It is really relaxing and adopting kids to make a family is nice but you cant really dedicate a playthrough to it as much as you can the other ones. 8/10. Dragonborn is a pretty solid middle ground for me, it has a really cool story and the Black Books make for good potential to play as a Dark-Elf Telvani Wizard who will stop at nothing to gain knowledge and power. Solstheim is a cool island with a different feel to the snowy, skaal areas and the ash-covered dark elven areas. Miirak is cool but Herma Mora stole the kill >:( 9/10. Please remember this is just my opinion (although it is quite a strong opinion) so please don't get *too* mad at me. :)
The dawngaurd dlc is just amazing but so is the Dragonborn dlc. However, traversing through apocrypha got a little repetitive but the fight with miraak plus dragon riding is awesome! But, with dawngaurd, you can really form your character into an evil or good person, or something in between. The feeling I got while storming volkihar castle with isran was unlike anything I had ever felt while playing a video game. Also, ravaging towns and terrorizing citizens as a vampire monster is also crazy!😂 the ability to use auriels bow to either shroud the sun or cause blasts of light to shoot down… so cool. The dawngaurd dlc really is something else even thought it’s not as complex as Dragonborn.
I personally find the Dragonborn quests in apacrapha ( sorry if I butchered the spelling ) annoying because it’s like a maze and I can’t see half the line with the wooly squid creatures
The Dawnguard Dlc due to the soul cairn, Hearthfire bc who doesn't want to create they're own house and I fucking hate dragon born bc idk I just don't like the creepy ass tentacle rooms 😂😂
I'm rating this video 10/10. I'm on Xbox 360 and have been thinking about buying some if not all. After watching your video, I'm sold. Dawnguard, then dragonborn and mabey hearthfire.
Now that Skyrim is on Gamepass I am finally exploring the DLC, so far I've dabbled with HarthFire and Dragon Born. Have not hit Dawn Guard yet, but, I'm looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about. I heard there are cross bows which sound neat for my character.
Tbh I played the base game on PS3... just picked it up for the switch and I am loving it all over again and being I have never played the dlc it’s even better. Playing the game for countless hours just like I did in my early 20s!
I'm in your boat. Spent hundreds of hours in my teens playing without dlc. Just got the switch version which runs very well shockingly. Excited to try some of the dlc
I love dawnguard but there is one bug that kills it for me. When you kill the Guardians of the soul cirn vel-vamp lady decided to just stand in one spot and so follow me
Calling Skyrim a 7 is crazy this is one of the best games ever made and stands strong today in 2024 and still worth playing one of the must haves for any real gamer over the age of 20
Hearthfire would have been so much better if there was a means to design your own structure. As it is its pointless having three building with the only option being ; which side do you want your kitchen to be on. Marks out of 10 ? 3.
I loved the Dragonborn DLC the best as it shows what could happen if the dragonborn decided to turn on the world, and he is a dragon priest. Miraak, was seduced with promises of power and forbidden knowledge by the Daedric Prince of Knowledge and Fate, Hermaeus Mora. Mirrak then plots to turn against the dragon overlords. Vahlok eventually defeated Miraak, but just as he was about to kill him, Hermaeus Mora saved Miraak by transporting him to the realm of Apocrypha, Vahlok and Miraak's battle was so tense that the land of Solstheim got ripped apart from the land of Skyrim. There is so much lore within Merethic Era. Oh. and if you finnish the main Skyrim story there is a bit more dialog between you (Dragonborn) and Mirrak (First Encounter) just started ps4 dragborn just a few days ago. oh my dlc list fav to worst Dragonborn DawnGuard HearthFire
From worst to best Dawnguard - story was bland only good was vampirelord, and serana. Hearthfire - I love my homes, I hated the tiny houses you get in vanilla. Dragonborn - it's just fun
up till now I only played and finished the DrangonBorn DLC. all I can say that I hated the blackbooks :p everytime I get sucked in a book I can't wait to finish and get back. as for the landscape its nice and the new armor and weapons is actually nice. looking forward to start the DAWNGUARD :D
My problem is, I never played Skyrim. And my first experience was buying Skyrim VR. Which I really enjoy. However I have a character with a fully built house. All skills maxed a few times for some to get to higher levels. But I got all the DLC at the same time as I got the original game. So I have done none of the DLC unless I randomly encountered a quest for it. Never been or seen a vampire or werewolf. I know they are part of the game but I have no clue how to find the quests. So I just go make a new character every now and then and pretty much ignore the DLC.
I feel like they should make a new DLC for this game since they aren’t making a new game anytime soon. Could be about a trip to Atmora or akavir which would be cool
StraightUpIrish I'm pretty you have speech at 100 because you could talk about literally anything for as long as you want and I'd still be interested
Thank you!

Yeah vampire lord is underrated
A shame she couldn't be wifed. Either way, she does complain about everything...

It's that she doesn't want to be married, because she doesn't like you and probably because the amulet doesn't work on a vampire

Really hope you guys enjoy this one, make sure to leave your ratings to let me know if you enjoyed it! Which DLC was your favourite one?
And remember kids procrastinating is bad
I really liked dawngaurd just because i love vampires
Dragonborn I thought Dawnguard was underwhelming and missed an opportunity with the Soul Cairn and to add more shouts too
Christ. 5 euro. Can you imagine if it was released on the Creative Club now? They'd sell a retextured pot and kettle for 2.50 each.
Me a new skyrim player realizing that what I thought was the main story was the dlc skyrim was ahead of its time
Yep this is me right now. Thought the dragon born DLC was the main story
“Fellow Argonions” were actually included into something
I love all the DLCs, especially Dragonborn... But I wish my horse had armour :(
(great video btw :D)
Convenient Horses mod comes with horse armour.
Yea horse dies all the time because of vampires and enemies
I’m from the future… you will get horse armor
Buy the dlc for 2.50
Dragonborn for character build
Dawngaurd for story
Heathfire for vibing

5:11 boi it took me like 5 hours alone to build one house, having to run around all over the world gathering shit
Wait how did you get 15 minutes out of ranking 3 DLCs?
I don't know, I think it's this magical thing called talking
It's a special skill he has
StraightUpIrish just get to the point. What are you trying to make money from this? Smh some people
If he got to the point the video wouldn’t even be as close to entertaining as it is, it would be literally a minute. Smh some people
@@DontDisapPyrrha Oh shut up if you care that much just skip throhh
for Me dawnguard is the "truest" skyrim dlc as it really extend skyrim lore and system and is a overhault of the base game. it added dragonbone weapon that weren't in the base game, craft arrow too, added crossbow, 2 faction and improve the werewolf/vampire system that were pretty basic in the base game and most important it game us new information about the falmer that were the most specific piece of lore of skyrim ( i mean you encounter some snow elve lore in the warrior and mage guild but dawnguard continue on that and that was really satisfying for me). dawnguard was really dedicated to skyrim.
But dragonborn is weird because it take place in solstheim and by having this location it really feel disconected from skyrim. we already had solstheim in bloodmoon so why choose this location again and after that they just came up with the story of the first dragonborn and it just feel forced to me. everyone that play skyrim was more ingaged in the civil war, guild and overall lore than in the dragonborn story and origin, i really hoped they would choose an other subject for this dlc, they could have expand the civil war story, give us new information about the great collapse of winterhold, make us explore the sea of ghost or the hammerfell border to expand the thalmor storyline.
Yeah dawnguard let's you become a vampire lord and all that, but the dragon born dlc let's become literally a spectral dragon
And ride a dragon
@@ra_alf9467 and make your own army using a shout
Honestly for me its
1. Hearthfire, i do this every playthrough i love making a family
2. dawnguard, i just enjoyed the experiance
3, dragonborn, this dlc was always bugged so i could never kill mirak
Brother! What's the correct chronological order of playing this expansions? Should I play them after I finish Skyrim main quest?
@@agentsmith6161 Honestly it doesnt really matter since hearthfire is just house building. Dragonborn is like an extension of the main story and dawnguard is just fighting vampires
Skyrim has some good writing, things are explained well, the mechanics/gameplay is good, etc.
I think it deserves more than a 7.
I would give it a 9 or 10.
Anyway, my DLCs is:
1. Dawnguard (10/10)
2. Dragonborn (9/10 or 10/10)
3. Hearthfire (8.5/10)
Maybe you could also do rankings for the other Elder Scrolls games’ DLC.
If it has good writing then how the hell did the Civil War questline turn out hella boring.
@@waterhigh Well that's kinda subjective so we would have to do a survey or something to really see.
@@waterhigh
That was one of my least favourite parts to the game!
Thumbs up from me because I, too, love Laura Bailey.
James the editing is very👌👌
I like dragonborn because you can explore a new island and sets of questlines.
3.Hearthfire
2.Dragonborn
1.Dawnguard
I've only ever played Skyrim in VR which is why Dawnguard beats Dragonborn. Solstheim is really boring, depressing, and just gray everywhere in vr so I just can't stand being there for too long. Just my opinion.
Apparently it looked different in eso3 Morrowind, the eruption of red mountain destroyed it.
I like the ash and dark feeling but then again I’m a Dunmer
Dawnguard and dragonborn are a tie for me I love new vampire mechanics and different sides you can choose from and nust more options in general dragonborn in my opinion had a better story,good villian character who is a dragon born,awesome boss fight making you use everything you have and amazing shouts and powers not to mention I love how its a whole new map you can travel around elder scrolls previous games before
Pretty much agree 100%, Serana is the best and that is why I usually like dawnguard more than dragonborn
Dawnguard... best DLC in gaming history! Its just special for me. Serana, Harkon, my dear Clan Volkihar. They will always have a special place in my hearth. Dragonborn is cool and all but in my opinion much more cliche. Dawnguard is special and it did something new- option to not be a nice guy. Option to not be that good nordic hero warrior that always saves the day. Hell yeah you can be a villain! PS: Love you Todd. PSS: Love you Irish
Not really because you still kill Harkon so yeah I felt Dawnguard to be way to boring for me except the Forgotten Vale the Shit there is really cool
U clearly haven’t played many DLC’s then
But dawnguard is pretty shit in the regard that it literally deviates the player from being dragonborn and being dragonborn feels underwhelming when you have vampire Lord not to mention dragonborn has way better shouts and enemies than dawnguard
The witcher 3: Blood and wine is considered to be the best dlc in gaming history :D
Neloth reaction to this tier list "By Malacath's hairy knuckles, you'll pay for that!".
Fun fact I have never played any of the dlc when the game was on Xbox 360 😭 untill know on PS4 where I have actually money to play the game
Just imagine TES 6 but with the amount of detail and the mechanics of things like RDR2 and others
And a story like the Witcher 3
Serious question - in the footage around 1:00, how is he moving so fast? Are there spells/equipment that raise your moving speed?
Keep up the great work sir 👏💯♥️
This lad needs more subs nice content brother
I personally absolutely love Dawnguard.
The Lost to the Ages quest line is surely worthy of a mention, at least?
DRAGONBORN IS JUST BLOODMOON PART 2: DRAGONBORN BOOGALOO.
I'd like to see a Worst to Best of Faction Questlines too.
And maybe Followers.
Great work man, new sub
While I will simp for Serana for eternity, Dragonborn is far superior imo. Dragon riding was a total let down tho. But so was being a vampire… and the house building lol.
Honestly they were all pretty good but my personal favourite is dawngaurd Dragonborn was great too.
I’d agree with 7 for Skyrim. After going back and playing it, I’d say it feels soulless and lifeless in comparison to oblivion. Which I’d probably rate 8.5/9. I know it had its own issues but the quests were superior and the game hooked you. It had so much charm and o never got bored playing it. Skyrim felt dull in comparison.
Although Dawnguard is my favourite DLC I also give it a 9/10 but not because of the same reasons. The plothole didn't really bother me much but the thing that did bother me was goddamn Serana (I know, controversial opinion) she was the worst follower I have ever seen. You pretty much have to go with her even if you are playing as a vampire hunter that hates vampires, you can't kill her during the story so it feels like the vampire hunters aren't even doing their job, just allowing a vampire to roam the fort because she decided to show up with a scroll on her back. I personally think she should've been killed by the Dawnguard after she had exhausted her use with the elder scrolls if you sided with them and gave them the ability to kill her. (I do think there should still be an option to keep her around rather than killing her if you like her that much though) Dawnguard, 9/10, Serana sucks and ruined some of it for me seeing that the best you can do is tell her that you should part ways. I give Hearthfire an 8/10. It's a DLC that is quite relaxing and you get to choose what house you want to build and where you want to build it (out of 3 locations). It is really relaxing and adopting kids to make a family is nice but you cant really dedicate a playthrough to it as much as you can the other ones. 8/10. Dragonborn is a pretty solid middle ground for me, it has a really cool story and the Black Books make for good potential to play as a Dark-Elf Telvani Wizard who will stop at nothing to gain knowledge and power. Solstheim is a cool island with a different feel to the snowy, skaal areas and the ash-covered dark elven areas. Miirak is cool but Herma Mora stole the kill >:( 9/10. Please remember this is just my opinion (although it is quite a strong opinion) so please don't get *too* mad at me. :)
Just found my new fav skyrim TH-camr.
This guy: also serana, my love who i love with all my heart and soul
Me: HEY WAIT A MINUTE SHES MINE
Just randomly found this vid only to remember these were released in 2012. 9 years and counting. 😔
First time I played it was the special edition on PS Plus and I didn’t even realize these were DLC’s
This guy could narrate grass growing and I would still watch it
The dawngaurd dlc is just amazing but so is the Dragonborn dlc. However, traversing through apocrypha got a little repetitive but the fight with miraak plus dragon riding is awesome! But, with dawngaurd, you can really form your character into an evil or good person, or something in between. The feeling I got while storming volkihar castle with isran was unlike anything I had ever felt while playing a video game. Also, ravaging towns and terrorizing citizens as a vampire monster is also crazy!😂 the ability to use auriels bow to either shroud the sun or cause blasts of light to shoot down… so cool. The dawngaurd dlc really is something else even thought it’s not as complex as Dragonborn.
what about forgotten city, or the forgotten whatever its called. i forgot the name
Forgotten vale?
I personally find the Dragonborn quests in apacrapha ( sorry if I butchered the spelling ) annoying because it’s like a maze and I can’t see half the line with the wooly squid creatures
The Dawnguard Dlc due to the soul cairn, Hearthfire bc who doesn't want to create they're own house and I fucking hate dragon born bc idk I just don't like the creepy ass tentacle rooms 😂😂
Without dawnguard vampire playthroughs would be shit. Like olbivion
I'm rating this video 10/10. I'm on Xbox 360 and have been thinking about buying some if not all. After watching your video, I'm sold. Dawnguard, then dragonborn and mabey hearthfire.
Now that Skyrim is on Gamepass I am finally exploring the DLC, so far I've dabbled with HarthFire and Dragon Born. Have not hit Dawn Guard yet, but, I'm looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about. I heard there are cross bows which sound neat for my character.
Tbh I played the base game on PS3... just picked it up for the switch and I am loving it all over again and being I have never played the dlc it’s even better. Playing the game for countless hours just like I did in my early 20s!
I'm in your boat. Spent hundreds of hours in my teens playing without dlc. Just got the switch version which runs very well shockingly. Excited to try some of the dlc
Is it true that if you download the game on Nintendo switch that you get all the dlc's
3 years ago lol how does it feel
I love dawnguard but there is one bug that kills it for me.
When you kill the Guardians of the soul cirn vel-vamp lady decided to just stand in one spot and so follow me
Thank you!
Should do an updated video with the CC AE content
It was never a question. I don't even need to show you the list
My opinoin
1. Dragonbron
2 . Heartfire
3 . Dawnguard
Calling Skyrim a 7 is crazy this is one of the best games ever made and stands strong today in 2024 and still worth playing one of the must haves for any real gamer over the age of 20
Do you get into the cloud district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you haven't.
Oh, noe. Look like I slipped. What an unfortunate disaster it would be if someone of somehow ripped my clothes and grabbed the area
Hearthfire would have been so much better if there was a means to design your own structure. As it is its pointless having three building with the only option being ; which side do you want your kitchen to be on. Marks out of 10 ? 3.
Don't forget, dawngard added werewolf and vampire skill tree
I loved the Dragonborn DLC the best as it shows what could happen if the dragonborn decided to turn on the world, and he is a dragon priest. Miraak, was seduced with promises of power and forbidden knowledge by the Daedric Prince of Knowledge and Fate, Hermaeus Mora.
Mirrak then plots to turn against the dragon overlords. Vahlok eventually defeated Miraak, but just as he was about to kill him, Hermaeus Mora saved Miraak by transporting him to the realm of Apocrypha, Vahlok and Miraak's battle was so tense that the land of Solstheim got ripped apart from the land of Skyrim.
There is so much lore within Merethic Era.
Oh. and if you finnish the main Skyrim story there is a bit more dialog between you (Dragonborn) and Mirrak (First Encounter) just started ps4 dragborn just a few days ago.
oh my dlc list fav to worst
Dragonborn
DawnGuard
HearthFire
I've got to say, I like Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and then Dragonborn. DB is growing on me, but I love building and collecting too much.
Stopped watching as soon as he said he gave the main game a 7/10.
Kinda hurt the soul when he said that.
Guys,girls! What's the correct chronological order of playing this expansions? Should I play them after I finish Skyrim main quest?
I know it came out years ago but why would you spoil dragonborn like that...
The ranks went in numerical order
Dragon born and dawn guard have insane rewards that come
Ahhh yes, the PlayStation tree 🌳, I didn't know that ting came out. I would of loved to have seen Sirauna "Serena" on that ting
From worst to best
Dawnguard - story was bland only good was vampirelord, and serana.
Hearthfire - I love my homes, I hated the tiny houses you get in vanilla.
Dragonborn - it's just fun
Dawnguard.
Dragonborn.
Hearthfire.
Vanilla homes are fun, but modded Vampire dens are great.
The Screen seems to small, it would be better if the gameplay footage was a bit bigger.
Dragonborn is my favorite.
up till now I only played and finished the DrangonBorn DLC. all I can say that I hated the blackbooks :p everytime I get sucked in a book I can't wait to finish and get back. as for the landscape its nice and the new armor and weapons is actually nice. looking forward to start the DAWNGUARD :D
which arrow are you using. It looks like the god bow arrow mod but whats the actually name of it??
Spot on dude - except for the Serana crush part 😜
My problem is, I never played Skyrim. And my first experience was buying Skyrim VR. Which I really enjoy.
However I have a character with a fully built house. All skills maxed a few times for some to get to higher levels.
But I got all the DLC at the same time as I got the original game. So I have done none of the DLC unless I randomly encountered a quest for it.
Never been or seen a vampire or werewolf. I know they are part of the game but I have no clue how to find the quests. So I just go make a new character
every now and then and pretty much ignore the DLC.
I feel like they should make a new DLC for this game since they aren’t making a new game anytime soon. Could be about a trip to Atmora or akavir which would be cool
They're too busy churning out (expansions?) for ES Online...about 21 by now, if I'm not wrong...3 a year 🙄😕
Solitude was too expensive for you? I bought all the base homes (excluding Whiterun) all in one go and I upgraded them at the same time.
1. Dragonborn
2. Hearthfire
3. Dawnguard
