Hey guys, just wondering what everyone's thoughts and preferences were for elder scrolls DLC, mine was shivering Isles but keen to see what everyone else is thinking, also where should TES V take us in terms of the expansion department? - ASSUMING IT WILL BE SKYRIM -

I like Shivering Isles the most(although I consider KotN to be a mini-expansion, and it is in second place for me). I love all three of the ones you mentioned, however, and I'm confident that Bethesda will make a great expansion for TES V, if they decide to make an expansion for TES V. I'll let Bethesda choose, although I would love to see Moonshadow, or, depending on when the game takes place, the Imperial City in its current condition(the city and the Isle to make up the entire expansion).

- Oops sorry, forgot KotN, oh well that's what "Other" is for right? "
Moonshadow would be amazing, and yes, an Imperial city expansion would be cool, maybe more detail and added size. not too sure if Bethesda would do that however, seeing as though last game was set there but still sounds good. I'm thinking abbaccean isles, or however it is spelt, the oblivion mod for it looks amazing and a tropical setting could do wonders for the games diversity i think...

For the Imperial City, if the 200 years after Oblivion rumor about TES V's setting is true, much of the old city could have been built over by now and the place could indeed be bigger and covered in more detail if it is the focus of an expansion(same size as SI for just the city and the isle).

I like the sound of that, and with the new improvements to graphics and AI I think a bustling Cyrodil would look great.

Bloodmoon, because it has werewolves

Shivering Isles just blew me away! I loved how it was a seperate demention in a mad world where you could become the mad god. I honestly would love something similar to that (hell even exactly like that except in Skyrim form) for Elder Scrolls V

Shivering Isles, by far. I'm very sad to have heard Beth say they don't ever intend to do it again because 'it takes too long.' I'd rather have had just one SI-sized expansion set for Fallout 3 than all the tiny DLC which although interesting, didn't even collectively hold a candle to the Isles.

Second after that would be Bloodmoon for the same reason I like SI: It's a new place with a very different feel and culture than the main game space, and rather well developed by itself.

Other: I quite like Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul.

1. Shivering Isles with a 9.5 score
2. KotN with a 9.3 score
3. Bloodmoon with a 9.29 score
4. Tribunal, incomplete, but unlikely to score in the 9s so far.

I find all of the expansion packs to be great additions to their respective games, but the one I hold above all of the other's is Bloodmoon. The Raven Rock quest really did it for me, I really enjoyed helping the East Empire Company to set up that colony, and the fact that you could decide certain aspects of it's development was great.

But overall I prefer expansion packs like Bloodmoon and the Shivering Isle, because they add so much to the original games. Even though the other two are still great, I always feel that there's something missing as I play them. So I hope Bethesda makes an expansion pack for ES V in a similar vein as Bloodmoon and the Shivering Isle.

I liked the bloodmoon expansion the most, because of the landscape and theme, reminds me of home .

I hope TES V will have more then 1 expansion pack

The fact the Morrowind and Oblivion had two, suggests that TES V will also get two. But there is still the possibility that Beth will only make one... or three! :celebration:

Bloodmoon by a landslide. I mean, I'm a Hircine fan boy. I also fell in love with the various unique architecture. I loved Raven Rock and the Skaal. Nordic culture is always amazing.

I think, if TESV is in Skyrim, we could get a great expansion showing us some of the ruins of Morrowind. A lava filled wasteland with ruined cities, and Blacklight being partially intact. :wub:

My favorite add-on is Frostcrag Spire!

lol, just kidding

I love Bloodmoon because it's the only TES expansion that adds a faction along with a new main questline and the ability to become a werewolf. Pretty much, Bloodmoon did the best job at fixing the concerns of the vanilla game, IMO.

It added good/evil choices, put lycanthropy back into the game, and even added a little bit more personality to the NPCs.

SI comes in second. It improves a lot of Oblivion's concerns but just wasn't as fleshed out and expansive as Bloodmoon. The good/evil choice were a little more grey than in Bloodmoon, but on the other hand, there were also a lot less quests and a smaller landmass than Bloomoon and there was no lycanthrhropy.

Knights of the Nine and Tribunal fall under the category of stuff that's fun but I could survive without.

I enjoyed Bloodmoon/Tribunal/Shivering Isles equally. As far as a dlc goes for V, I've always considered Summerset Isles small enough for DLC, if not, Telvaani island possibly.

Shivering Isles is obviously superior - it could practically constitute its own game. Albeit a 20-30 hour one.

Also: It has always been my dream to see an expansion take place in Black Marsh. Deep Black Marsh. It would be totally savage - ideally it would provide the most challenging TES gameplay to date just to survive.

I enjoyed Bloodmoon quite a bit.

er...where is horse armor?

Black Marsh would be the business, and it isn't like Akavir where to have you sent there would ruin the enigma of it, Elder scrolls should only have one of those mysterious/you-aren't-going-to-come-here places in my opinion. It doesn't even have to be extremely hard, just as long as the gameplay is solid and the environment is brutal and primitive, my ideas of it would be like a much darker and cooler version of the amazon rainforests, just add some magicka and a few argonian clans and your'e set :drool:

Definitely Bloodmoon. I fell in love with that snowy tundra the second I traveled there from Khuul, and it was snowing so hard that I could barely see. <3

Bloodmoon. Knights of the Nine was amazing for its size/pricing though.

SI edges out Bloodmoon, with Tribunal a close 3rd.

[First, let me state what "assume it's Skyrim" means as I'd like to see it]

Skyrim is an awesome place that can be both fresh and offer opportunities for nostagia. The Skyrim of ES:V is not the Skyrim of Oblivion. Winterhold could [should] have plenty from Morrowind with all the Dunmer refugees bringing their culture. There are likely a good number of crypts and there could be Volethi temple or tower or both. A few Ayleid ruins aren't out of the question in the south. In the west, Skyrim has taken over the eastern end of Hammerfell and Highrock, so you have their influences too. Then you have to consider that Skyrim's political structure is much more like Morrowind's was.

[...and of course there is all the uniquely Skyrim-esque areas]

The question is: How much of the deep reservoir does Bethesda soak up in the making of this game? [if it is Skyrim]

Possible Expansions:

Summerset Isle
Realm of Daedra Lord
Akavir
The Dunmer

Tribunal is the best, with it's politically driven storyline, and Bloodmoon second. Never played the Oblivion expansions, don't plan to.

Its a fantastic theme, I always wish I could go to blackmarsh in the game. Trying to survive deseases, poisons(if you are't resistant is cool)
