Yes!!!!! I can't wait to ride around on a bear! Ability-altering weapons??? I wonder what abilities will change. And Ancient Orc armor before Thieves guild?? aww. Still cool.

I'm so excited for this DLC! It's like you dev's asked yourselves "What would Nimander want in the next DLC?"

Will bear mount be purchasable separately or do we have to buy the bundle that includes the DLC mount and cub?

Look at the map, guys. JUST LOOK AT THE MAP. So awesome >_> BOARDING THE HYPETRAIN

Srsly tho, a wintery zone with a whole new story, no PvP and new sets etc. And even music! Aah

You can purchase them separately, although the PTS doesn't give any clues as to the cost.

I have checked it out yesterday for 30 minutes on PTS and my first impression was great

!!
(only thing that I did not like is that I can not play on PTS with my currect character (i know I can not transfer then all the skill/xp points earned there to the regular megaserver, but nevermind that)).

I will check it out today evening again, can`t wait to be there again

the same question came into my mind too

, I would like to know the answer too. I hope it will be purchasable also as separate, only the DLC, then only the bear mount.

Both are available separately on the PTS but the amount is a placeholder which makes it unclear how much the actual amount would be, I do believe I've seen it written somewhere else though, one was 700 crowns I think, that being the bear cub and the other was more, the mount I think was 1500. Just going off memory as I haven't been able to find the information again. I assume as these items are likely in the base game patch that will accompany the DLC they could be obtained regardless of if you are running the DLC or not.

Also wish to say I've checked out the DLC on the PTS as well. Looks good so far, not that I've gotten much into it yet, but certainly like the diversity of the new zone and looking forward to seeing more of the new content. The Akaviri motifs stated to be in the base game update to coincide with Orsinium particularly intrigue me.

This may be a stupid question, but whats the level requirement of Orsinium? I have no interest in buying content that I wouldn't be able to access, and I didnt see the level mentioned anywhere in the official info.

Orsinium is available to all levels. Your stats and equipment are scaled up to be on par with the level of the zone. You don't get new skills so low-level characters may find it more challenging, but it is possible even for beginning characters.
