I hope my mods won't interfere with the DLC. Removing the mods will break my saves.
Gosh
Question. Will this dlc break any progress I have in my skyrim file? Will I have to beat the main story to access the new stuff? I haven't beaten the main story yet.... (I've also never played any Elder Scrolls game with DLC.)
Oh ok. So this dlc is adding more to do basically, right? You can still freely do anything you want?Question. Will this dlc break any progress I have in my skyrim file?

No... it's rather like joining up with one of the factions: in this case the guards will tell you about it but otherwise you could quite happily play your normal game... in fact it might help if say you're an archer - crafting your arrows is a great addition!
Not for a month, at least, due to the 30day agreement Microsoft has.Has there been a definitive release date for PC already? Let's hope it's still in the coming 2 months or so, so I can complete it this holiday

I'm getting so sick and tired of game companies punishing me for having a PS3, but giving Xbox 360 owners these 30+ day timed exclusives for their dlc content. First it was Call of Duty, now Bethesda is doing it. I just don't get the incentive of giving part of your fanbase the middle finger, especially when you know these games have already sold well and they don't need Microsoft's money. Its just so freaking annoying! >_<

Yeah.. This isn't the first time it's happened, and forget CoD, that game sucks no matter what platform you're on, despite any DLC that's been released. This really isn't the first time Bethesda has done this to the PS3 platform, but what makes it different this time is the fact that it fucks over the PC demographic that plays the TES titles.
Personally, although I'm against it, I hope the content gets pirated like crazy because they decided to tell the PC users to screw off, that it's going to be on an inferior platform first. In my honest opinion, TES games are meant for the PC, consoles are just an afterthought. Although, the PC users did get the creation kit, which is nice I suppose.. It's really sad that there hasn't been any true ground breaking mods that add enjoyable content to the game, there's way too many tit mods.
If anyone wants to argue with me about the PC being the best platform for gaming, don't bother.. PC games get modding communities, unofficial patches for when the devs are too slow to fix things themselves, and the graphics look so much better than on a console. This extended console generation is really cementing the standard of game quality though for the time being, which in turn is holding back gaming on the PC. Also, please don't try to argue that using a keyboard and mouse for games is stupid and you don't want to do that, because you don't have to use keyboard and mouse..
My 360 pad works for a majority of modern games, and you can get it working on other titles through the use of programs like xpadder. About the only thing that I will use a keyboard and mouse for is games in the RTS genre, some RPGs, and shooters that require precision and absolute control.
You don't have to have a 5,000 USD computer to play games, it's quite easy to build a budget build for less than 1,000 USD that'll run everything that's out.. The only reason you see people throwing money at their computers for obscene upgrades is that they have other reasons for needing the specs besides gaming, or they just want it to say that they have it..
i agree with most of what you said, but i'm just fine with my ps3. $1000 is still too much for a smaller screen experience. Heck, even $500 is too much.
I do kinda hope something happens that shows Bethesda that doing pointless deals with Microsoft, at the expense of other console users, is a bad business practice.
oh dang that doesn't sound good. i don't like random dragon attacks much either and i would be pissed if npcs were killed like that.i agree with most of what you said, but i'm just fine with my ps3. $1000 is still too much for a smaller screen experience. Heck, even $500 is too much.

with today's pc's you don't have to play on a 15" pc monitor, with my setup i have a 32" sony bravia and 1080p, no where near 15" is it?
i have also heard that the dlc is very buggy and another annoying feature *spoilers* master vampires randomly come into the towns and kill all npcs even inside the shops they kill shopkeepers too! the only way i am going to play this dlc is to make all npcs in all towns essential so they don't die lol, the dragons annoy me to no end already.
