The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

How do I get started on this add-on?

  • 1 of 6: First, make sure the add-on is active.
  • 2 of 6: On the game's launcher menu, select "Data Files" and make sure there's a checkmark in the box to the left of Dragonborn.esm.
  • 3 of 6: Click "OK," then run the game and load a save.
  • 4 of 6: You can travel to the island of Solstheim and start exploring it any time you want, but you can't get started on this add-on's mainline quest series until after you've finished the "The Way of the Voice" main quest.
  • 5 of 6: Anytime after that quest is done, fast-travel to any major city to encounter two freaky-masked cultists who will talk to you.
  • 6 of 6: No matter what you say, they'll turn hostile, and you'll get the "Dragonborn" quest.
