When they announced they're done with Skyrim, they also announced they were going to provide minor updates as well.

Correct.

They also announced they were going to do Fallout sized dlcs...

Realistic economy.

Edit: I wouldn't count on any updates from them unless something is seriously broken in the Legendary Edition. Considering the state of the forum isn't filled with rage threads about the Legendary Edition, I don't think that's the case.

I don't understand why they abandoned Skyrim. It was easily there best selling and popular game. I'm assuming they've been working on Fallout 4, or maybe I'm wrong. But these minor updates should add a couple things. Such as instead of redoing the destruction tree, add a few more perk levels to the augmented ones. Or what about increasing cast speed. Personally I want to see proper mace and warhammer finishers more than anyone. I doubt they're reading this but maybe they are, who knows.

Probably minor additions to the same degree as horse combat and extra killcams.....They better show Fallout 4 in the next few days at E3 or I'm going to burn a chicken for Nazeem.

I tweeted to Pete Hines and asked about the minor updates and if they would include that, he said no.

I think it's because of their difficulties with the PS3. I think they basically ate up their whole DLC budget trying to get the damn things released for the PS3, and realized they didn't have money left to work on more stuff after they got the last one out. That, plus the time they had involved in DLCs (about a year and a half,) corporate probably decided to pull the plug on Skyrim content and shift full production into FO4.

It's a shame.... PC isn't regarded to be a popular platform (and based on available sales figures, only 14% of sales were on PC) while the xbox 360s limited disc size almost invariably meant we got less content overall. Plus the intended features which weren't included because of budget and time constraints across all platforms...

They should do exclusive PC content.

Exactly. Just because something is successful doesn't mean they can spend forever on it. They had to move on eventually.

This is like the telephone game.

No they did not they said the exact opposite.

Where are you getting your figures?

They sold an estimates 10 million copies. Steam statistics showed over 5million people playing Skyrim in January of 2012. Now, my math might be off, but I think that is about 50% of the total sales being on PC.

I recall the interview. unless I deceive myself, I'm pretty sure Todd Howard said the DLC's would be bigger than that of Oblivion's and Fallouts, but there would be less of them. Of course that was before the game was even released, they could have had a change of mind, or circumstances that prevented it. I doubt they set those words in Stone and at all costs tried to stay true to them

but I would at the very least expect them to stay true to their closing statement of Skyrim.

I forgot what they said exactly. did they say there Was going to be some minor updates? or MAYBE going to be some minor updates?

I can't find Steam statistics, so I am using the figures from July 2012. They have also sold an estimated 20 million copies.

Edit:

Again, citation?


"During the first day of release, Steam showed over 230,000 people playing Skyrim concurrently.[118] In the first week of release, Bethesda stated that 7 million copies of the game had been shipped to retailers worldwide, and that total sales through the following Wednesday were expected to generate an estimated US$450 million.[2][119] By December 16, 2011, this had risen to 10 million copies shipped to retail and around US$620 million.[120] Additionally, Valve stated that it was the fastest selling game to date on their Steam platform.[120] Steam's game statistics page showed the game breaking a five million user record by having 5,012,468 users logged in as recently as January 2, 2012. During this time, Skyrim was the most-played game on Steam by a huge margin, with double the number of players as Team Fortress 2, the second-placed game.[121] As of July 2012, an estimated 10 million copies have been sold.[122] In the United Kingdom, Skyrim was the 9th best selling title of 2012.[123]"

Yes, Todd said "less than Fallout, but meatier".

That's basically what we got. If anybody has played Fallout 3 DLC's.. none of them touch Dragonborn and Dawnguard in terms of content.

They lied. There will be no patches.

I'm pretty sure Todd said Bigger than Oblivions too.

Some would say that Shivering Isles was bigger than Dragonborn, or just about equal. and I would have to agree with that in terms of Landmass and Content, but Pete Hines excused this by saying they meant "Bigger" as in the DLC would take up more memory. certainly a bit deceiving since Memory isn't the first thing that comes to mind when someone calls something Bigger.

He said bigger than Oblivion's but not as big as Shivering Isles. Which is true, since aside from SI Oblivion got very small DLC.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-01-04-steam-shoots-over-5-million-concurrent-users-mark never ever showed 5 million people playing Skyrim, the statistics showed 5 million people playing games on Steam. ALL games, not just Skyim, that was the most players they had ever concurrently had on line up to that point, I think their current best is 6 million. Considering the vast range of games Steam has, not many of that 5 million would have been playing Skyrim. I think there were early stats of something like 231,000 concurrently playing Skyrim.

They do.

It's called the Construction Kit and mods.

And the High Res Textures.

Anyways, no, I don't believe in console specific content. Players who buy the game on PC shouldn't get additional features that console gamers don't, just because they are on PC.

I fully support things like the Construction Kit, or High Texture mods. But exclusive content? No thanks. PC gamers don't deserve a completely different game made just for them.
