Loads of New Skyrim: Dragonborn Details and Screens

Dragonborn will see you journey to Solstheim, returning to the continent of Morrowind (the setting of The Elder Scrolls III). Bethesda promises "new towns, dungeons and quests" and a landscape made up of "ash wastes and glacial valleys", which you can see in the screens below. It's a much moodier setting than the sparkling, snow-covered Skyrim mountains.

It's been confirmed that you can indeed tame dragons with new Shouts. One of them, Dragon Aspect, lets you "summon the inner power of a dragon to deliver colossal blows". You'll meet Dark Elven settlers on the island in your search for the first Dragonborn, the DLC's antagonist, and venture into a Daedric realm, where you can learn "dark powers" - perhaps the soul of the first Dragonborn was claimed by the demonic Daedra, which would explain his resurrection.

In terms of new weapons, Bethesda names Chitin and Bonemold armour along with Stahlrim weapons. New enemies will include Ash Spawn and Rieklings.

It's out on December 4th at 1600 Microsoft points. I'm pretty excited. The debut trailer, released a few weeks ago, is below.
