Yes, well I thought they were, at least the first ones I met, but I have to do something for them which may not turn out well as there's a related alternative quest. All the others you come across are unfriendly to say the least.As for the friendly Rieklings...well who would have thought.
I died several times and should really have left and come back later. My followers were all on their knees and down on their paws most of the time so they couldn't help. 
And i agree about Miraaks mask, the screenshots i saw showed a odd looking mask. You'd be right.And i have a hunch as to what that BIG thing could be, a while a go i saw a mod that concerned a big cold danger from the past.
The worst thing, or one of them, is that he casts Blizzard and you can't see a thing except for a totally white screen in a small cave space. After you kill him you can summon him but only outdoors (because of his size) which is a bit useless really as the real hard enemies are in dungeons and most of the outside is mountains and cliffs. And if he cast Blizzard outside on a few crabs it's a bit of overkill to say the least. And about Tropical Skyrim...that is weird to see a island like Solstheim with tropical elements?
) Thanks Aisla.That last shot is totally fascinating.
Yes, that was before I entered the realm proper and wondered what was in store.I was reading that you can start at around level 10 to 20 but it will be hard. Without at least one follower you could do it at lower, but on your own, I don't know if I would try it. Some people recommend level 30. I was at 39 when I went there and still had to be careful even with followers. Plus, there are hard areas where followers can't go.Oh darn i so want to start the DLC main quests but at the moment my character is only close to level 8, so it will be quit some time before i can even start with the DG main quest reliably. ( Let alone the Dragonborn story line.
Changed your mind? In your post above mine you were eager to get into the DlC's and now you want it to be sometime away.But i hope it will take some time before it does.
) Since i use a mod that increases Health...Stamina and Magicka according to each skill increase my character gets for using a certain skill, that might be sooner then possible with a vanilla game. I am really liking how my character is progressing so far, so i wish to enjoy the game really well this time. ( Darn that sounds weird. ) I get what you're saying.LoL i know how it sounds...yes i want to go there very much, but if a level 39 character has to be careful at times, then to me it is a sign that i should not go to Solstheim at a to low level until i have a real good reason to go their. ( Or at the very least until i believe my character has a chance to stand her ground in Solstheim.
If I had started out with a new character I'd be feeling the same way and making a hasty retreat back to Skyrim. Those Ash Spawn are very tough and they have resistances as well as casting some kind of spell that has black smoke as SFX. I've managed to avoid being hit so far so I don't know what it does. Nothing good I expect. The Seeker actually levitates but it was beaten down in that screenshot..Now as for your latest screenshot...darn your summoned Seeker looks both creepy and awesome? But those Lurker Guardians must be really big since they seem to tower over your Seeker?
...and they are creepy with all those tentacles. They make a horrible (spooky) sound too and are almost invisible until you get close, but you can hear them when they are about to attack. They only use magic so they aren't physically strong. The Lurkers are about the size of Deathclaws from the Fallout games and just as dangerous. They have huge tentacles which they use as whips which poison and stun you.
and I never felt that about the main game. I've had more than a few scares lately.Hmm and here i thought that from the screenshots i saw from Ash Spawn elsewhere that they where a weak enemy, while they turn out to be the opposite. Thanks for the warning.Maigrets wrote:I get what you're saying.
Looks like Bethesda thought things through with Dragonborn. Once i get there i am so going to enjoy it.Maigrets wrote:The Seeker actually levitates but it was beaten down in that screenshot..
Bethesda did a great job with the new critters. I haven't yet shown the flaming spiders that explode out of crates or cocoons when you get close and the Werebears which I've only seen once, but wasn't quick enough to get a screenshot. Even Draugr are buffed and have a new variant.
I'm tell you now that going into dungeons is a harrowing experience,
Thanks.Fessels wrote:They all look awesome, especially the one with your character riding that Serpentine Dragon.
I can't wait to go back as a warrior, but I have a lot to do back in Skyrim with this character so it can wait.
Plus they are fast and can go up and down ramps and chase you all over the place.
, when I forced him to let me fly. As soon as we landed and I dismounted he flew off a little way, but came back to attack. I didn't want to kill him after the excellent flight and view of Solstheim from above, but I had to as he kept following and attacking unless I shouted him into submission again.
As for the treasure room...*Jackpot* , that must have been a really nice amount alright. And those are some toasty Pirate ghosts.
