An ever progressing world.

Post » Wed May 18, 2011 10:24 pm

I had a minor idea today. What if Bethesda updated Skyrim Monthly adding a few new quests each time. This way it would feel that Skyrim is an ever progressing world and once one has done everything, the next month new things could occur. I think this would help the Elder Scrolls community more than just releasing Dlc's for annoying costs. I think this could work better than Radiant Story, but what the hell.. just a thought!

Although it is an excellent idea, it'll never go through. Unless it's minor stuff and in small amounts, they'll charge for it plus it'll take two weeks to get through MS. (Don't know about Sony)

Doubtful that would ever happen. MMOs often don't even get new content that often and you have to pay a monthly fee for those. Or at least for most of the good ones.

That whould be great but the chance of it happening..... it will not happen.
Or Bethesda could take the Mods of the month and make them a free dlc that Consoles also can have to it can't be that hard right?

Not likely but I wouldn't be adverse to it if something like it happens.

Sounds good but given their limited time I always prefer the big, well thought expansions like Shivering Isles no matter how much they cost.

Uh...the only way this would happen would be "monthly DLC," basically making Skyrim a subscription-model single-player game. The days of free DLC are over, just look at Horse Armor. If they'll charge for that, you think they're going to give us free monthly quests? I don't. Nah, can't see this idea working in any good way. :shakehead:

It would be awesome. I'd like to see them atleast giving us free plugins. Like horse armor type stuff, or new armor and houses. Definetly an hour long quest here and there would rock. Maybe stuff they are using for a large dlc, but gets cut for whatever reason. It would be a big "thanks for the support fans".

Then they can charge us for the good sized dlc. Even though Todd doesn't think expansions are worth the effort....So I guess we will have to wait and see, but they've given free stuff out before, so chances are good they will continue. Just not quests though.

I don't think the voice actors would enjoy coming in once a month to record a few lines each.

Even voice actors like continuous paychecks :)

No. I don't want to have to pay for the game's constant updating. The massive world and content is enough to chew on for at least the next five years. Updates and expansions are one thing, but daily quests and such aren't necessary.

Maybe if they have a continuous spot on a show or something. I mean if they recorded 100 lines each everyt time perhaps, but the vast majority of them would be coming over and over again for a tiny role, in a game, so either they will get payed very little so turning up all the time isn't really worth it or Bethesda will be wasting money by overpaying voice actors for what work they do.

There's an idea over in the Fallout forums called "Quest packs". These aren't like your regular DLC - instead of adding new areas with new factions and items, it adds more quests and NPC's to the vanilla world. It would be priced much lower than a DLC pack of course, but pumping some of these out would be pretty cool imo.

kinda like... adding DLC every couple months for a while. They did it with FO3, but they can't just keep doing it.

I would prefer just having one big expansion like Shivering Isles. Any single one of Shivering Isles, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon is greater then Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout, Mothership Zeta, Dead Money, and Honest Hearts combined. DLC's svck, plain and simple.
