When it comes to DLC for Skyrim, instead of a new play area like Oblivion's the Shivering Isles, I would pay $20-$30 for HD texture packages (360/PS3) and packages that add more items, skills, and NPC interactions to the game.
For example, it would be great if DLC was released that offers you new ways to play the game, such as running a shop/expansions to the current romance/marriage system, etc. I basically would like to see content packs that make the current Skyrim game a more open sandbox, with more complexity and more ways to play the game.
First off, if they try to charge any money for an "HD texture pack", it will blow up in their faces.
One: No game developer charges for texture packs, they give them as freely downloadable content (Bioware for DA:O, CDProjekt for The Witcher, etc., etc.,)
Two: They'd be charging for what should have already been in a 2011 game to start with.
And adding a few skills and some NPC scripts for marriage is not purchase worthy content. It's nice bonus material to put in a real expansion with plenty of new areas and quests to go with it. Tribunal and Bloodmoon were expansions. Shivering Isles was an expansion. Friggin' horse armor and some fancy one off buildings were DLC.
I'm tired of companies thinking they can nickle and dime their way through my wallet with crap.
Todd said they were going to make full expansions, not DLC crap. And I'm holding him to that. No content unworthy of the title "expansion" will be funded from my wallet.
