A very good DLC for Skyrim. This adds the excellent Solstheim island, which has a lot of great places to explore. The Dwarven ruins are at their best here, with complicated puzzles and traps to keep you on your toes. There are also a wide variety of interesting side quests here as well. The two major communities are both very interesting, and have it's nice having two very different cultures on each side of the island.

My only issue is that, once again, the main quest line never feels all that dire. There are some good moments here and there, but the major villain, Miraak, feels more a nuisance than an actual enemy. The stuff with Hermaeus Mora does save it, but it does not feel as impactful as Alduin.

All in all, a very solid DLC to wrap up Skyrim with, with some more plot issues.
