Worth what I paid? The new build/buy items and new clothes (did I mention the beautiful locale?), make it worth it for me.
I'm going with the scenario of the town trying to hold onto as many of the old traditions as possible, but like most areas they can't hold back the tide of progress especially as the children age and start to rebel against their elders, wanting more modernity. Next project is to look at the library and see if there's a way I can remodel it to add room for the University objects, especially the science station.

I still have much building/changes to add to fit my certain tastes, but I plan on delving into more.
If you want to read more about it and see what Dragon Valley has to offer, check out my review found here:

Plus, the price is just wonderful compared to all other store content.
includes:
DV
$19.00 worth of Points
Celtic Lands Set
if the Celtic Lands Set was sold separately, I think Azn broke it down to being worth roughly 850 points.
*calculates*
35 - 19 - 850 = 750.
hmm. So, if you do math like that (which isn't a stretch, really, all things considered) the world itself costs about $7.50.
a WORLD for $7.50?!?!?! I will buy that all freaking day long, thank you.
even if it does require some creative editing and imagination to get it back to a less modern feel, I still think it's worth it.
But that will be all about your reaction, and it won't matter what anyone else thinks.
Personally, I am enjoying it immensely. So I would spend the money again, in a heartbeat. Well worth it, to me. Well worth it.
Your mileage may vary.

Now that I've started playing in the world I'm really enjoying it (even the parts I didn't edit, haha). I love the atmosphere, and of course the dragons. There are some really beautiful, scenic places in the world. So I would recommend it, but it's really up to you whether you think you'll like that type of setting or not.
I've never played the Sims Medieval game, so this is the closest I've come to anything like it and I love it.
I knew we would have all the normal modern amenities in the world, just like the rest of the game and that's fine with me. In fact, I really like that it's not truly in the dark ages. Plus, I'm a huge fan of the supernatural/occult sims, a town full of elves is the perfect spot for me to add witches, werewolves, vampires, and of course fairies.
If you really want a authentic medieval world you can download a world made for that purpose, it's all paths no roads, then put in the rabbit holes, venue, and build some beautiful things with all the new objects.
To sum it up. Yes knowing what I know now I would buy it again.
That's the thing, I keep seeing people throwing around the term medieval but this world doesn't scream medieval at all to me really. It's a total mash up of completely random stuff which is what turns me off of it. Lets not forget medieval is a loose term and basically covers around 10 centuries worth of stuff.
I would say don't go into the world expecting it to be strictly a medieval theme and you'll probably like it OP. Look at pictures and check youtube for videos (there are a few up already), I find after watching some videos I'll be pretty sure whether I want a world or not.
I believe that in the walk through it was said that it was more a medieval "styled" world that was living on the edge of modern technology.
The upside for you is that you could use a lot of the build/buy items with one of the custom player created worlds to get a more realistic medieval world.
I did come across a couple of bugs. On Friday my game was playing perfectly. On Saturday I downloaded and installed DV. Now I can't grow eggplants and lemon trees....which I could before installing DV. The other bug was with the Faire venue. When my Sim went to that lot my mouse suddenly started going crazy. It jumped around the screen erratically and I couldn't click on anything on the control panel at the bottom of the screen. Once I left the lot using keyboard commands it went back to normal.
It is nicely done in space and some very beautiful buildings. So if I would call this town anything..it would be the Modern town that collided with Medieval ..it is more modern than anything.
You could make a medieval town with a lot of work and mods. But I'm just not in the mood for that kinda work.
I won't go into the flying lizards...heh.
MV and DV my 2 favorite towns I cannot pick one over the other (besides that I have more build investment in MV, which doesn't count for another player ;D)
I think if anyone loves MV for the authentic/old look will love DV too ;D
buh-bey concrete roads, hello cobbled stone! I can never go back ;D

This road thing... and MrHawk extracting the terrain paints from all the store worlds for us to download (only works if you bought the world) makes the store worlds much more valuable, at least as far as this builder's opinion goes. I actually prefer player-created worlds best of all because most of the various world creators don't choose to limit themselves to building for only the base game like EA does. Why EA chooses to shoot itself in the foot over this is beyond me.
Yes, I do get it that EA builds assuming the buyer only owns the base game but as I (and we, collectively) are not privy to the information about how many buyers there are who only bought the base game, well, the numbers are just question marks to us and so the answers are not available for us to completely comprehend their "logic" behind this choice.
Dragon Valley is a gorgeous world and seems like it might be the best so far, with Monte Vista either matching it in quality or running a very close second. That's my opinion. (Many others would disagree with my opinion and place Lucky Palms in the top spot but LP is not a builder's paradise when it comes to coloring everything because the lighting is funky and for myself, the whole gambling thing turns me off and in real life, I don't do Vegas.)
NOTE: MrHawk should have the terrain paints for Dragon Valley available at that same link above shortly.
