MODS DON"T KILL ME. NOT HATING, only giving a constructive criticism/ advice/ heads-up.


Shortly speaking, they're doing all the DLC business wrong.

We should be constantly reminded that something is in the works, that they "might" add something, that "their people" are working to "expand"(DLC --&--#62; Expansion underline) but they don't forget to "try" to patch all the miriads of bugs.

We should get at least a word that something is in the works. TES VI can have a bazillion of DLCs/Expansions, becasue people are still playing it, some just for the sake of DLCs, and there's a HUGE window to implement new ones: Snow Elves, Dwarven mysteries, Small enclaves of HR, Orsinium, HF(see Redguard?), Morowind etc., planes of Oblivion, new danger arises etc....

In that time Devs could be working on other projects and there wouldn't be a 6yrs gap between each TES.

Our Public Relations guy SHOULD BE our Public Relation guy, that does something constructive...

When the DLC is announced we need to have a constant, even sluggishly slow but existing flow of information.

Legend: "AGES" - no info, at all.

Current model: Oh, new hiiden files........AGES........."Title"........AGES.....Picture........AGES......trailer(?)......AGES.....scarce info from magazines......AGES......XBOX(ok it's your deal, not pointing that).....AGES.....etc.

And "our" guy doesn't do anything. The devs rarely see what we want, and they only include some things that should be included ages ago.

Game is getting older and older. DLC/Expansions should keep it alive, but when they're so scarce they only give hope for the slowly dying game. Of course - mods - but do console players have mods?

It should go(no AGES present and if they're present some even smallest possible info from DEVS, remember - constant flow of info"

Let's see what do they want......Dev "We are working on something"........Oh, hidden files......Dev "Hey guys, you're onto something, but I'm not saying anything....."Mysterious Teaser and title"......"Another Teaser or a Pic".......Trailer.......Magazine article/s?......all platforms premiere(or some deals - but we should know about them) - if it's "x first" we should get something in that time like new addition in a mini patch to keep the "Unprivileged Ones" entertained for a month....PROFIT......The new cycle begins......

We already did.

Gstaff told us that there was more stuff coming out this year. You want news, stick to these forums.

Rather the DLC be a surprise.

No need to rush them until they are ready.

I agree but it is their decision and sometimes it is better to be silent until you are further along with a project

I agree their PR could be better, on the other hand the silence is whipping the fans into a feeding frenzy which is to their benefit. I truly believe they just don't understand yet what a hot commodity they truly have, perhaps when it gets through to them they'll start dedicating more energy into keeping the players updated. Who knows.

While some news might be nice. The problem is that in some peoples minds, 'might' quickly becomes 'will definitely'

Look at what happened with Dragonborn. They released the trailer, made no mention of Dragon riding at all, and various people and the gaming media managed to hype that into 'We will get our our Dragon to tame and free roam fly with' People ended up disappointed and blamed Bethesda for hype they had no part in whipping up.

In any case, I'd prefer they focused on actually working rather than drip feeding us so many little details that in the end it just becomes a chore to play because there are no surprises left.

I don't even care about new DLC at the moment. Can't even play the game because of computer woes (again). Hopefully in two weeks or so, when the scape goat if anything goes wro...er, wise and wonderful brother who can fix problems magically is back, we can sort it out.

They just should say, in that case, the dragon riding "might not" be as the media write about it. If they did that dragon riding is fully controllable thing deliberately, they may not be that wise at all.

I'm not say about giving us much more details. I'm saying, constant flow of information. E.g. there will be "at least 5 new spells" i nt heir first, unofficial announcment, then "we have an idea for more spells - do you like it..." and then giving us the mighty "8 new spells" on their final announcment.
There are a million ways to promote DLC better than they do, without giving away the details. You just need to know crowd control basics and right now, they're doing it wrong. Not utterly terrible, oh no, but they're failing hard anyway. That was my point of this thread.


The hype frenzy is good, but it stops after a while when there's too little to speculate about and no "answer" from Devs in form of "yes, no, maybe or let's just chat about something else, folks" or new material.

currently the forums are not as dead as they were shortly before DG and DB because all the steam decimated.
