Its seems after its release on PC, the forums were preoccupied with massive threads of grief, due to the many problems people were experiencing. I, for one, still use the 32-bit client, and am not going to 64 until it's stable and linked to launcher.
BUT . . . Took a sick day from work yesterday, and felt well enough to work through initial quests with my brother, and we had a blast - sneaking through the no trespassing areas, watching my brother get accosted by the guards while I hid in the shadows snickering, infiltrating the mansions of the rich, and the general mayhem that comes with the life of a thief! My brother mentioned that he thought that this was the best DLC yet, and I think I'm leaning in that direction, also.
I know that many problems persist, particularly with the lag in Cyrodiil, but the game played flawlessly as we worked through this content.

I do have one message for the devs: Take your time with the upcoming Dark Brotherhood even if it misses the deadline of the 2nd quarter. Don't release with problems that would smother the excellent content that is inherently there.

    Agreed, this DLC was well worth the money. They did a great job. However it was far from perfect, there are room for improvement.

    In my opinion, it lacked the following:

    - Some pvp related content
    - Less looted sets and more motifs/crafted (Since we cant alter looted gear appearance still.... FOR SOME REASON)
    - Difficulty scaled content. What I mean is, pickpocketing and stealing chests can become repeatitive quite fast. It would be nice with some more different and innovate repeatable content, related to the thief guild. Stealing from royals, stealing artifacts, or maybe a leaderboard of which player stole the most per week/month etc.

    Thats a few things I think should have been there. But beside that, I think the DLC is fantastic and Im still enjoying it.

    I agree, it's my favorite DLC so far and I love the new area! So beautiful although I found it a bit small...

    Buuuuuut nevermind that, it's a lot of fun and can't wait when they release DB.
    Very excited to see how that is going to play out.

    They did a nice job on this DLC and they deserve some compliments for it :smiley:

    PVP would be awesome, but I understand the potential problems. I think a solution lies in the fact that you, as a thief, will be sent to areas of Tamriel for heists (actually haven't gotten to this part yet), so why not choose an area in Cyrodiil for a heist in which PVP could play a role? They have mentioned that they are looking to broaden the content in Cyro as a partial solution to lag problems, so why not make certain areas of Cyro trouble spots for thievery in which enforcers are called upon to restore the rule of law.
    No opinion on your second point, but I totally agree with your third. There should exist some specialty items which are very difficult to steal and have commensurate rewards once they are stolen. It would be nice if these were linked to the more advanced dungeons that require a 4-person team.

    TG was another nifty DLC, agreed. I enjoyed it very much - especially the combination burglary/treasure hunt that comes from "Karis Hit List" - reminescent of the orsinium museeum, finding and stealing all those was fun (even though two are not in the places where the hints lead you - the spitoon in the wrong guild and the decanter in the manor rather then the inn...)

    The one thing I would have -adored- for this one would have been a choice to not throw in with the thieves, but join the law instead...maybe a different questline that would start in the aftermath of the TG storyline, and focused on rooting out overzealous witchhunting within the iron wheel, available only to those characters who have -not- done the Thieves Guild stuff...
    But with them dropping the justice-PvP concept, its not something all too likely to ever happen I guess.
