A larger land mass but less content than Shivering Isles and more than Dawnguard.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's expansion pack Shivering Isles is bigger than The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's expansion pack Dawnguard.

Far Harbor will be bigger than The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's expansion pack Shivering Isles.

Did you enjoy typing all that? I have to ask, why do you insist on doing it?


On topic: If the first major dlc has more content than Dawnguard, that's excellent news. I have to assume they'll only continue to get bigger and bigger. But, when they first released the news about all the upcoming dlc, didn't they say that Far Harbor is their most ambitious add on yet?

I get asked this question a lot.

I'm old I was alive in the 1960's. I have been using PC's since 1987 and I purchased my first PC in 1998 for playing video games. In 1996 I purchased my first video games console the Nintendo 64 (N64), because I was babysitting for a friend and he needed someone to take care of his gran kids. I was one of those people who thought video games were for kids back in the 1980's.

In the 1960's and 1970's we used to say 1960's and 1970's like this nineteen hundred and sixty and nineteen hundred and seventy or nineteen hundred sixty and nineteen hundred and seventy.

It's very hard for me to get used to writing short or in abbreviation like LOL. I know what they mean it's just hard for me to write the way this new generation does.

So there you have it a perspective of how old I am.

I'm sure other people on the Bethesda Softworks forums are sixty years old, seventy years old, and maybe even eighty years old.

I'm actually 5,000 years old, but take the appearance of a younger man. I discovered the fountain of youth while being chased by some tribalists.


Edit:


I'm sorry, I couldn't help it, it's hard to hold in the truth for so long

I'll be 70 soon and I wrote an economical and to the point OP. I'm not sure it has much to do with age. The spelling maybe though.

Um, well, anyway...

This is still promising news. It felt like Dawnguard's main quest was almost as long as the main quest in the base game, and it had a ton of sidequests on top of that. If Far Harbor has as many quests as Dawnguard, plus their biggest landmass and a ton of new workshop settlements, I'd consider that making good on their promise (and well worth the $25). Another possibility that I'm not as excited about, is that they have a much shorter main quest (like Dragonborn) and focus instead on tons and tons of sidequests. I'll still be happy with the value, but I want a big fat storyline to do.

I did this same thread 2-3 days ago PenGun the thread swiper

At this point I'm actively searching the Wasteland for missions I missed, so any new content would be very welcome. Of course we get Automatron tomorrow, but I'm not sure how long that will tie us over. We need more, and more diverse neverending quests so we can switch up. Right now all I have is Preston's quests and the BoS apprentice missions.

we need quest mods so the CK and mods for consoles too is important

Would be sweet to be able to create missions, upload them and then have them tested and possibly added. Kind of like GTA V

Sounds like Main Game Politics...

I think they mentioned its bigger than all Skyrim's expansions, which means its probably bigger than dragonborn too. Or around the same?

Is it me or Far Harbor is going to be only big expansion like DLC for Fallout 4?

There will be 20$ worth new DLC after Far Harbor. Considering Far Harbor is worth 25$, next DLC(s) wont be as big.

From "60$ worth of DLC" my guess is F4 will only get one big DLC(Far Harbor) or there will be another set of DLCs throughout 2017 but they won't be included in Season Pass.

more content than Dawnguard sounds awesome. That DLC had the longest quest EVAR...lol. I hate Darkfall Cave to this day.

They did say "over $60", but I think that just means maybe $70 worth of DLC tops. That could really mean anything - two $10 DLCs comparable to Automatron or what the last two Fallout games had, one $20 DLC comparable to what Skyrim got plus a $5 feature add-on... I really dunno. I think there'll be at least one more story expansion, but Far Harbor is probably still going to be the biggest DLC they put out.

Only One big expanson would be a huge blow to Bethesdas DLC rep, can't see that

How many times am I going to see this thread between now and May?

Yeah but same page also says "However, if you already purchased the season pass for $29.99, nothing changes - you still get everything at no additional cost— the full $60 offering of add-on content for the original price of $29.99.".

Only 20$ worth left

Says who? Fallout 3 and New Vegas had 4-5 $10 DLCs, all medium to small sized. Skyrim got two big DLCs and a $5 feature add-on, Fallout 4 is getting one small, medium, and big DLC just in the first wave with who-knows-what coming down the pipeline.

My guess is we will get 2 more Automatron size DC's and the new hardcoe mode, then they move on to ES6

I didn't mean it as an insult. I haven't been a member here very long, but I've noticed you're very thorough. I commend you on your consistency.

Does anyone know if they said in which units it was "bigger".

Is it in terms of the landmass being represented? In the map in game units? In the number of NPCs?

It could easily be download size, given the size of the base game. In which case it could have less area and less content than Dawnguard and still be "bigger" in terms of megabytes.

Todd Howard: "In this first run [of DLC], Far Harbor is the largest. But, we kind of priced that based on what we’ve done before so you can look at Far Harbor and say ‘Well, even though the land mass is bigger, it doesn’t have as much content as Shivering Isles – which was $30- but it has more than Dawnguard, which was $20"

From the article in the OP.
