After some social media teasing over the weekend and the earlier discovery of clues encoded in a recent patch, Bethesda Softworks released a trailer Monday for the forthcoming expansion of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and yes -- dragon mounts are coming.
The trailer for Dragonborn (the third DLC expansion after Dawnguard and Hearthfire) delves deeper into the lore of the Dovahkiin, hinting that the player will encounter an adversary who also possesses dragon blood. "You didn't think that you were the only one?" the narrator asks. "He was the first."
The clip clearly shows a player character mounting a dragon and some scenery with mushroom forests reminiscent of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Game lore fanatics are already at work dissecting the trailer, its setting (likely Solstheim, an island east of Skyrim) and the identity of this new masked character.
