Is it possible to buy the game with no DLC, create a character (and play a fair bit), buy the DLC, install it, and play the newly installed DLC using the old character?

Also, I am playing on the XBox 360.



Best Answer

Yes, that is possible. That's exactly how I (and many others) played Skyrim.

If you bought Skyrim at launch, no DLC was available. Once you have purchased it, it will integrate naturally with your ongoing character.

Do DLCs work with Skyrim special edition?

Is Skyrim DLC worth playing?

Yes. All of them are worth it, Hearthfire has the least added. But it's still fun, nonetheless. Dawnguard and Dragonborn are definitely must-buys.
