Do you have to start a new character?

[Lumie]

I'm wondering if you have to start a new character when you buy the extensions dragonborn ect and was wondering if its a completly different map or that?

[Trigger]

no, just play your game. just adds the D.L.C.

[TrompeL'Oeil]

Hearthfire adds three new locations where you can build houses. No new areas to explore.

Dawnguard adds new locations to explore, available from the Skyrim map.

Dragonborn adds a whole new island to explore, outside of the Skyrim map. (edit: you can travel back and forth between Skyrim and the island)

There's only one demand for Dragonbor: You must have completed The Way Of The Voice

of course you dont need to just go stand around some guards and they will start the questline

Be forewarned. If you have met the requrements for the DLCs it is possible for you to step out of a building, it might be the Riverwood Trader, and you could be attacked by, one master vampire, two vampire thralls, a death hound, two Dragonborn Cultists and a Random Dragon all at the same time. Very dicey. I then unsubscribed to an extra bad guys mod.

There are four, I think, mods entitled "Extra Encounters." One four the vanilla gaME AND THE 3 DLCs. These increase the number of opponents at the various sites in the game where you trigger random encounters. I can't post a link as I am not computer literate enough, but go into the Steam Workshop and search extra encounters and a number of mods show up, including the ones mentioned above. Hope this helps. Happy gaming.
