Skyrim’s Dragonborn DLC Details Uncovered
Bethesda forum user Mardoxx has done some more digging through the latest update’s files and has uncovered some interesting information regarding the all-but-confirmed Dragonborn DLC. We’ve already been informed that dragon-mounting will be making an appearance, but it looks like another feature shown off in Skyrim’s Game Jam video is making it into the game.
Check out some of Mardoxx’s findings below:

As you can tell by the list above, spears may be entering the hands of your Dragonborn in the near future. It’s not confirmed yet and, given the weapon’s unique attack animations, spears are sometimes passed up in RPGs. Whether this information means that players will utilize spears or if new enemies will be wielding them remains to be seen. You might recall that in Kingdoms of Amalur only NPCs could wield this weapon type. Let’s hope that isn’t the case for Skyrim.
Still waiting for Dawnguard and Hearthfire

Cant wait for this. Dont expect any dlc PS3 players. Your PS3′s lack of RAM and excuse of a graphics chip couldn’t handle all the action that the dlc’s provide.My PC could beat the PS3 any time of the day.

Spears, thats great, because back in days like that they would still have spears, not like wooden cave men spears but steel spears and stuff, and the guards could hold them like you see in movies and other games, not to mention hunting down mammoths with spears \m/ O_O \m/
(Magic, sword figthing, more magic, elves, dwarves(which are dead) Spears, dragons, 2 war factions. stormcloaks and the imperials/ empire. Now dragon riding, seems to me like this game is turning into the book (and movie) “Eragon”,)

Collect enough Dragon souls in order to turn into one, would be a good dlc addition.

Karl, that would actually be a very awesome idea. However, it might be too much for the game to handle. I mean, where would you be able to do that? Certainly not in cities, since the rest of Skyrim would have to load before you could fly there. If at all, it would be an outdoors thing. On a side note, it would take what, 10 dragon souls? Then you could upgrade from there.

polearms are an extremely under-appreciated technique when it comes to martial weapons. an extended reach with either a halberd or long spear can make a difference between killing something at minimum range or right in your face where it will more than likely hurt. Look at the Spartan Hoplite; an efficient killing machine utilizing a long spear that can be balanced and used not only for melee attacks (worked well for piercing armor) and long range attacks (could double as a javelin). The only other weapon that was as versatile was the Egyptian Khopesh which could double as a curved long sword and bludgeon to disarm a shielded enemy from his shield arm.
some of the best samurai warriors of Feudal Japan used polearms. The Yari was a devastating and deadly martial weapon that up until the introduction of folding steel it was the quintessential weapon of choice by any Feudal Japan warrior. versatility, power and defense all rolled into one. The polearms only real weakness; up close it became cumbersome but any warrior with a good sense would drop it and switch to a good short sword and shield.

It will suck if we can only mount dragons in solstheim…

DUDE I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE OBLIVION and since you could duel-wield items in skyrim. The next thing they should add is thrrowing items like in fallout new vegas like throwing spears, axes, knives, etc.
