DLC shouldn't take so long to come out

Post » Thu Jan 28, 2016 7:53 pm

I bet they were working on the DLC for least 12+ months, even before the game was announced, I'm impatient for news, the game needs more content for those who have finished the Main Quest and wish to play on.

I'm just glad the DLC isn't a Disc Locked Content which never ever deserved more money to unlock.

Yup...This is me too.


Shoot...the game has been out for only a couple of months. I wouldn't expect any DLC until after Pete Hines' Caps get knocked outta the playoffs.

The longer it's in development, the better it will be. That's my theory anyway...

I really just want the G.E.C.K. to finally drop.



I've nearly cleared everything, yet my "shopping list" on Nexusmods is ever growing. Blasted console gaming existence.

I think it should take 6 months before paid content is added to the game. Enough time for the Devs to have worked on their own art work and story for a DLC but they should focus on fixing the bugs in that time rather than just moving on to more cash grab. Plus they can get an idea of what people liked/disliked and produce a better DLC that would sell better.

Bethesda focuses more on quality then rushing to get your money. I'll gladly wait until summer for DLC if it means the quality is worth the money I paid for the season pass. Let crap companies like EA or Activision rush dlc to make a quick buck, my money will be going to good companies like Bethesda.

Agreed, i hope it will be a summer release actually and we can get something as meaty as Dawnguard in terms of content and quality.

Fallout 3 was released in late October 2008 and had its first DLC (Operation Anchorage) released in late January 2009. Interestingly, the stuff from Op. Anchorage was prefixed "DLC2" in places, with the stuff from the 2nd DLC; "The Pitt", actually being "DLC" prefixed.. So it seems that The Pitt was originally meant to be released first, and that was released in March 2009, it's probably too early to expect any DLC just yet.

Anchorage and a good portion of 3's other dlc were also incredibly short and had little content in them.

I would actually rather get the game patched so the majority of quests and already existing content work as expected, then the GECK and after all of that is sorted then DLC. I don't want them to raise a flag on a ship with a hole in it I want them to plug the hole....

And they will, Bethesda typically works on patches alongside making dlc. It's really not a rather this then that kind of deal.

Actually I guess getting the GECK out first would be fine too. I run unofficial patches on FO3, NV and Skyrim so if nothing else the quility modders in the community will be able to fix some of the lingering problems I'm sure. There really arent that many either compaired to previous games. So I'll revise my list of wants to GECK first. Not that I'm not looking forward to new content. Heck, I've already purchased the season pass thing.

In your experience deploying software and managing development teams and budgets, how long *should* it take?

Plus once the GECK is out console players will also get mods so it's basically everyone will have something new to play while waiting for dlc. This system Bethesda has set up is really great for waiting for, well in my opinion considering what Bethesda gives us calling them DLC is kind of an understatement as they're closer to expansions then just dlc.

I know this is wishful thinking but I hope they make DLC similar in scope to Bloodmoon for Morrowind.



Also, Witcher 3 has had some REALLY great DLC and the next one coming out is actually rather big.. Something like 20 hours? Bethesda: please take note of how DLC is done right. :wink_smile:

Something I keep forgetting too is that I didn't really like the DLC for Fallout 3 other than The Pitt I felt like the others were fairly lackluster. Fallout New Vegas on the other hand had great DLC but that was a different company. I'd really like to see bethesda take their time and make high quality DLC that really add to the story that the game is trying to tell.

I really, REALLY doubt that they've been working on DLC for 12+ months. That'd be very poor ethics from a studio who dont really have to listen to a corporate interfering heirarchy like EA or Ubisoft. The games not been out for 3 months and you want DLC already, thats just silly.

DLC done right can mean numerous things. Personally I consider Skyrim's dlc as DLC done right and given Bethesda already announced they want to expand on that shows promise.

I am still checkign the forums for DLC news. I uninstalled Fallout 4 a month ago at the 120 hour mark from sheer boredom. (a part of those 120 hours were with the game paused with me tending to my kids if they woke up, so probably more like 100)



The game has a serious lack of interesting content, and a lack of interesting ways to go about doing it. I am hopeful for the DLC... but mostly for the CK. (CK was release almost 3 months after Skyrim's release, if that matters)



for fallout 3, Anchorage was release 3 months after the game's release. For Skyrim, it came out 6 months after. we're not in previously uncharted water here, but Skyrim kept me entertained for those 6 months, and well beyond.
