    Bethesda Game Studios has been dropping hints about the first downloadable content for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and now we have the first details, even if it’s not very much. Here’s what we do know.

    It’s called Dawnguard, and it’s coming to Xbox 360 first this summer--as was the case with Fallout 3, too. Anything else will have to wait a few weeks, as Bethseda is teasing an official unveiling at E3.

    Don’t be surprised if Dawnguard shows up at Microsoft’s press conference before E3 kicks off.

    Intrigued. Looking forward to seeing more at E3. Am planning to get into Witcher 1+2 soon though so we'll see how that goes. Loved Skyrim though and am downloading Oblivion on my new PC atm (thanks Steam sales!) - looking forward to it.

    Why do all the names of places in Skyrim have to be so similar? It's confusing.. Dawnstar, Dawnguard, Whiterun, Windhelm, Winterhold, Markarth, Morthal

    Needs more letters of the alphabet. Also I hope this is as big as Shivering Isles, that would be awesome

    I wonder how substantial this will be.

    Also, fuck this Bethesda/MS timed exclusive shit. As a PC gamer who saw how Bethesda basically sold PS3 gamers a crap ass bill of goods with the base game, if anything PS3 customers should be getting this early.

    Bethesda has slowly risen to Capcom/EA/Activision levels of douchebaggery when it comes to how they treat their customer base.

    This. Sucks that the 360 would have a timed exclusive, if that is the case. I understand how money works, though.

    Why does Microsoft want me to hate them by gimping their *other* video game console (psst! I'm talking about the personal computer!)

    But whatever. My affair with Skyrim ended abruptly after far too much time spent playing, and I haven't felt the want to pick it up since. I think I can wait longer for DLC, and at least I'll know by then if it's really something to make me want to jump into Skyrim again (I have two candidate characters; one working towards master of hand-to-hand, and one already maxed in one-handed weapons).

    I don't think the Xbox 360 version is that bad but having played the PC version for a long time, with all the mods and HD textures and posh mudcrabs, I don't think I can go back.

    Hopefully the DLC will actually be released on PS3 this time around though, the horse armor and DLC houses were noticeably absent from the PS3 version of Oblivion, even last year's supposedly complete 5th Anniversary edition. They only released the more expansion pack-esque Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles for PS3. Sure, these kinds of games should be played on PC, and I've mostly bought the PS3 versions for the hell of it, but Bethesda seems to have a long history of shouting "Fuck You" to their PlayStation fans.

    How much of the game will this DLC break is my question? When I was playing Fallout 3 on PS3, every new bit of DLC seemed to break something in the game
