Bethesda have finally gotten around to launching the first true expansion pack for their epic RPG where you venture to a new island to track down the first ever Dragonborn in a sort of Highlander “There can only be one” storyline. However, with this new expansion has come a bit of confusion on how you actually start the thing. So, let’s quickly explain.

To start your freshly downloaded Dragonborn DLC load up your last saved game. To access the DLC you’ll need to have completed the Horn of Jorgen Windcaller mission for the Greybeards, after that you’re free to embark on this new adventure. Once into the game head over to Windhelm – you can actually head to any city you want to activate the quest, but you’re going to need to be at Windhelm anyway. Once there you need to hang around until some Cultists come and try to smush your face in with pointy things. If you don’t just want to wander around until this happens you can simply stop in the middle of the street and use the wait function to skip forward in time. Once the Cultists attack go all fighty on them and end their lives. Once that’s done search their bodies to discover a highly convenient note which then activates the quest. After that simply head down to the docks located just outside of Windhelm and board the boat with the quest marker to get going.

And there we have it! You’re on your way to a brand new island to go and kill even more stuff in the name of adventuring! Hurrah, and such.
