DLCs and Plug-ins

Post » Sat May 11, 2013 7:33 am

I just would like to compare DLCs and Plug-ins regarding Skyrim and Oblivion.

Skyrim:

  • Dawnguard
  • Hearthfire
  • Dragonborn

There are other plug-ins for PC, those include the space core and the high texture pack.

Oblivion:

  • Fighter's Stronghold
  • Horse Armor Pack
  • Knights of the Nine
  • Mehrunes' Razor
  • Orrery
  • Shivering Isles
  • Spell Tomes
  • Thieves Den
  • Vile Lair
  • Wizard's Tower

There are no extra plug-ins for PC for Oblivion.

What I feel is that PC has two extra things for a plug-in, while the Xbox and PlayStation has three. Shouldn't we get the space core and the high texture pack as well?

For Oblivion's plug-ins, it has more than Skyrim, so why does it have more? Shouldn't it have the same number of DLCs/plug-ins?

What do you think about this? I would like all of your feedback. :)

Consoles wouldn't be able to handle the higher texture quality, so i've heard.

High texture pack would kill consoles and I doubt that Valve would appreciate Bethesda releasing the Space Core on consoles.

The consoles should not have them as I don't think they can handle the texture pack and the space core m

I can understand that the console systems can't handle the high texture pack.

The space core would be a fine addition, but Bethesda should ask Valve and try not to piss them off.

I disagree. I personally have no interest in it and most players probably dont

Same here. I would at least like something extra small for the consoles and not for the PC for it to be fair. :P

Xbox has kinect so the only one that doesn't have anything exclusive would be playstation 3.

Haha. I'm a console player and while I would enjoy exclusives especially since I'm a ps3 user. I do not want non lore things.

It's official mod and pretty much Easter Egg. I never bothered to get it myself because I found it to be too lore-breaking. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Space_Core#Space_Core

We could have a haunted ship that has made its way to the docks of Solitude. A wounded pirate, a dark elf (Introduces herself as First-Mate Mara who later changes her name to Maral when she leaves the Mourning's Tearl) can be found on the deck, where the Dragonborn can start a small quest to defeat the ghosts of the pirates on the ship to claim it their own. After defeating the pirate ghosts, the Dragonborn can return to Maral at the Winking Skeever, whom is feeling a bit better. She will reward you with the captain's special sabre, Doomslayer, that has a 10% chance to paralyze your opponent for 10 seconds. She will also reward you with the ship (known as the Mourning's Tear). You can purchase new furnishings for 7,500 septims from Maral and hire a crew from her for 1,000 septims.

You can persuade Maral to come on adventures with her; she can have some extra dialogue similar to Frea and Lydia.

If you ask Maral's age, she will tell you she has been here for a long time, since the time of the Nerevarine.

In Caves:

  • "Are we seriously going in that cave? I have some problems being in a cave." Before entering/nearing a cave.
  • "Dark... Tight spaces... Bleh!" While inside a cave

In Forts:

  • "Imperial or Stormcloak fort? I'd have to go with bandit." If a fort has not been taken by the Empire or Stormcloak.
  • "A Imperial fort? Born in Cyrodiil, much more civilized than my siblings back at Morrowind." In a fort that has been taken by the Empire.
  • "A Stormcloak fort? I hope I don't get killed by these Nords." In a fort that has been taken by the Stormcloaks.

In Dwemer Ruins:

  • "Very fascinating! I can't imagine how the Dwemer can build this stuff!" While in a dwemer ruin.
  • "A Dwemer ruin? Be Careful while you are in there." Outside/Near a Dwemer ruin.
  • "The Dwemer are fascinating. Did you know machines that they built still function today?" Inside/Outside a Dwemer ruin.

In Major Towns/Settlements:

  • "Nothing to look at here... Boring!" While in a major town/settlement.

In Major Cities:

  • "Beautiful... Interesting... Amazing..." While in a major city.

At the College of Winterhold:

  • "I considered joining the College of Winterhold, but I remembered that my family back in Cyrodiil long ago discouraged any types of magic."
  • "Any Dunmer here? I'd like to meet a Dunmer wizard here." If you show her a Dunmer wizard (Example: Brelyna Maryon), she will strike up a conversation with him/her.

There should be four crew members:

  • Stares-At-Sea (Argonian female guard whom can be a follower and be married too)
  • Maggie (Nord female servant)
  • Virk (Nord male first-mate)
  • Erosmo (Bosmer male that serves as a blacksmith vendor and can be married)

The Mourning's Tear can include a bedroom with four beds for the crew members, a master bedroom for yourself, a training hall, trophy hall, and a kitchen-dining area.

not random at all if you know why it was made. It was made by valve and bethesda together to celebrate the steam workshop going online. They also had a team fortress 2 dragonborn helm too.

Interesting idea. 1 thing i wouldnt like is when she would say stormcloaks are racist, becasue they are not. I would rather have her she doesnt like both.

Cant compare

Because...

Skyrim : Excellent Game

Oblivion : Pure Crap

So no matter how many more plug-ins oblivion would have... they cant save it.
