Future Skyrim DLCs

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 2:07 pm

Unless it's secretly in the game already, I'd be fine with a returning visit to Solstheim after all the nonsense that went down in Vvardenfell, I'm sure they could really bring a sense of Nostalgia while giving the island some kind of new purpose.

But for the most part I'd be okay with smaller DLC's as long as they actually do something good (Horse Armor and Spell books didn't cut it for me in Oblivion)

I would like to see stuff. I don't know about you guys, but I really do like those bite-sized DLC's for $2.50 or so. In that case it could be a new set of armor, cool jewelry or some mastic weapons. Additionally there could be even new quests wrapped around those, but that's depending on time and effort guys and gals at Beth could, and would like to put into those. I'm talking here mainly about great new items that either came to late in the brainstorm, or some fine examples proposed by fans, that for whatever reason couldn't been implemented in game on time, but it would be a shame to send them to the recycling bin.

How about the closed city of Elinhir across the border from Falkreath? I'd love to see an updated Hammerfell.

DLC should never be there to add something into Skyrim which should've already been there in the first place.

DLC should only add whole new areas not known of before or great quests which lead onto new areas and places to own or explore.

I want the expansion(s) to be set in the same province. Same land, same people, new story, lots of quests. I like this game for the story and quests, and adding them in the same game space saves a lot of production time and gives opportunity to focus on rich content (story, dialogue).

Where's the option for horse armor?

:rofl:
I don't want all of High Rock, because that's a mod that I plan to make. Maybe Solstheim? Surely that's a popular one too. :shrug:

Blacklight is my realistic desire. I would love that. Daggerfall Remake or all of highrock would be much better, but it's not gonna happen

If you have not read the elder scrolls book, don't look at this if you don't want a slight spoiler.

... how do you make spoilers I thought it was [*spoiler]words[*spoiler]

Just Black Marsh would be fine though.

I want one that was like The Shivering Isles. That was really fun being able to go another world that had a portal on our side of the world. But here is what I want to happen-

Being able to go back to the land where the nords came from. I don't care if the NORDS said it was unlivable, thats basically what we said when we broke off of Europe and made America into its own country. haha. I want to be able to go there and see what it is really like. Obviously it is going to have a lot of snow, but I would like to see what the original Nordic homeland looked like.

If you want something that might actually happen go with Blacklight if you want something that will happen you go with a new quest line if your a dreamer All high rock and a Daggerfall remake.
I should have put Expansion instead of DLC but i started on a 360 im quite used to saying DLC

They'll likely be crappy game within a game toybox DLC's just like KOTN, FO3's and Dead Money was. <_<
Don't really hold high hope for any of them.
Hope they change their mind about it and do a SI sized expansion again.

Wasn't the myth of dragon mounts busted? And thank goodness if it was because, honestly, the whole idea of a dragon mount cliched and lame.

Why does it seem that some people think that if they use a province in a DLC they can't also use it for another game? You know TES1 had every single province, right?

And I'd like to see at least parts of other provinces, how else are they going to add new worldspaces without setting them in other provinces? I'd hate to see them make more linear DLC's like they did for Fo3, linearity would ruin TES, so a DLC can't be linear.


Oh, how about this: Let's say they make five Point Lookout-size DLC's, how about in each one they just add a part of a single province (High Rock?) and a storyline that takes place in that part? Each region could have it's own "biome" like Morrowind.

Technically, assuming the engine works like Oblivion's, they'd make one master file that includes a basic LOD heightmap of the entire region, then each DLC .esp adds detail, NPCs etc. to that part, that way they could "piece" it together, silt striders or caravans could connect the DLC regions and Skyrim together.



Think about it exactly like Morrowind's Tamriel Rebuilt project, they work on Mainland Morrowind in 5 separate "maps", each one having a large amount of land and at least partially their own tileset.

Bethesda would do the exact same thing, only from the start generate a LOD heightmap, just like they did in Oblivion (you can look onto almost all of Tamriel if you're high up enough in the sky) then separate the regions with invisible walls, like in Oblivion/Fallout, that way you could have DLC number 1 and 3 without actually needing DLC 2.

That way in the end, you'd have a region just as big and detailed as Skyrim with even more variety, since Bethesda's DLCs always have their own distinct "look".

omgwtf dlcs svck! expansions r da best, even if they do exactly the same thing! DLCz r only for silly things like Horse armor and stuff...

More seriously whole regions like the entire Daggerfall map and High Rock will never, ever be found on DLCs or even expansions. They're just too big. As for the Daggerfall "remake" I think they only meant the city of Daggerfall and Wayrest itself and it's surroundings. Now that would be an interesting choice for a DLC.

Is their an all of the above option >_>... and for daedric realm, realm of the hunt would be nice... @ above, True, but it's nice to hope and wish...

Possibly just city of Daggerfall for an expansion/ DLC (same thing >_>) and perhaps a new game for the rest of High Rock (and possibly hammerfell, and maybe the game after summerset and valenwood, and the next one elsweyr black marsh and morrowind, (including vvardenfell?)

SOrry to get off on a tangent, and most/ all of this is probably wrong or a little bit true at the least....

Please don't call these DLC's, if you want more small add ons for 10$ call them dlc's, But if you want a Shivering Isles or a remake of Daggerfall, Call it an EXPANSION PACK

DLC's are a nice subject to talk about however... i doesn't matter if there not thinking of it... the sooner the ideas are thrown the more chance we will see them. it's a hell of a lot better then asking for stuff in the normal game... chances are its already mostly finished anyway

Can't vote because I don't want DLC. I want an expansion pack. That said, I really don't care about a location, I just want a huge expansion pack similar to shivering isles.


This. Except I want it bigger than SI.

DLC? What DLC? I want big fat EXPANSIONS! One of them would send us to mainland Morrowind for a good long quest line.

the idea of a Elder Scrolls game being a movie makes me lose faith in humanity just a little more...

I lold. How about releasing the movie as a DLC? :D

The game itslef hasn't even come out yet, and you want to discuss DLC's?

If you want somthing added to the game, you should make a thread about what you would like. I doubt Betheda is even thinking about Skyrim DLC's atm.


You could be wrong with that, in Oblivion they obviously had some of the DLC's in mind when creating Oblivion. As an example there was a cave on Oblivion with a closed door and a note related to "Thieves Den". They probably got some of the ideas after releasing Oblivion but some were definitely created before and hold back to earn some extra money with DLC's.
But they definitely won't create a DLC that contains a new landmass like adding high rock or so, just if it is in another realm like Shivering Isle - commercial reasons. They also won't remake an older game as a DLC, if there will be a remake the will release it as an own game also because of financial reasons.

Edit: It was the "smugglers cave" without the DLC "The Thieves Den" It didn't have much content just a closed to you could not open, but with the plugin you got a key for that door.
