Due To Voiced Protagonist I think 2 Big DLC's and one other being a combination of Hearthfire/Gun Runners Arsenal will be the amount. One Being in New York City, the 2nd adding stuff to the Boston Wasteland like Dawnguard did with Skyrim and the 3rd adding more stuff to the world like a combination of Gun Runners Arsenal and Hearthfire.

Not enough to sate my appetite

Realistically, I hope we get more content than what was released for Skyrim, and bigger and more packed than Skyrim's DLC.

I'm guessing they're going with about 2, maybe 3, DLC's that add a good amount of content/new areas. They probably learned from their past mistakes too, so no dog armor

Four large DLC's at the least please, but no less than three.

Dog Armor is ingenious.

Not the first time someone brought up Dog Armor, and it always reminds me of this toyline from the 80's. Farmyard animals with removable heavy artillery armaments and battle armors...

I want dog meat with a mini-minigun nah make it a twin mini-minigun one mini-minigun on each side.

3 large DLCs would probably be their goal at least. I would hope for more but hey, you get what you get.

I was hoping for a bunch of small DLCs that add pointless stuff like Verti-bird paint jobs, and armor for Dogmeat.

I think it'll be two-to-three. Two large ones, and maybe a bonus small one, but they probably want to get into full-production mode of their next project (widely expected to be TES VI, no idea what would happen if it isn't) by about March or April of 2017. There'll ultimately be how many quality DLC expansions/packs as they can do within one full year or so of post-release support for Fallout 4 just like they did for Skyrim (for Skyrim it was about 16 months of post-release support).

Im going with 3, all of which will offer additional area to explore. I think one will be Island based and one with let you get to Salem . No idea on the 3rd.

2 large ones that add new area s to explore and maybe 2 or 3 smaller addons who add more ingame content , like more sttlement options new weeapons and armours etc

Not really, because money talks!

I'm thinking 37.

I feel like there will be only two with a real possibility that both will remain in the core game area and don't venture outside the default game map.

I hope there alot to say Dragon age's dlcs were a disappointment would be a understiment. So i'm hoping Bethesda does what it does best making awesome Dlc.

I'd guess three, however we do have a new variable in console mods that are going to require some resources from BGS to curate/test them. Sort of depends on how that all shakes out. There is of course, also the unknowns...we are dealing with an older engine re-engineered to work on current gen platforms. The reality that BGS admits they aren't pushing the graphic display to near max tells me there are compromises being made.

I think Bethesda should just continue releasing DLCs and add on to the experience until about a few months before their next game.

counting the better mods, hundreds....

I suspect Fallout DLC will tend to be handled in the same fashion, with several smaller DLCs.

As such, with TES, I expect the trend of 2 larger DLCs, plus one or two additional add-ons to continue.

I don't know, Bethesda openly says that Fallout 3's DLC cycle was exhausting and kind of unfulfilling for them. That's exactly why they went with a quality-over-quantity approach to Skyrim's DLC in the first place. And I feel like Skyrim's DLC was more commercially and critically successful, too, although I couldn't confirm that. Personally, I think Beth really hit their stride with Skyrim's DLC, and I'd love to see them keep that up for Fallout 4's DLC.

New Vegas handled the multiple DLCs really well, but a lot of that seems to be because Obsidian planned ahead for them. New Vegas's DLC is better than the main game; if Beth can do that, I'm still down for it, but I think we'll see DLC similar to what Skyrim did. They didn't plan the DLC much during development, so a lot of the design for Skyrim's DLC took initial feedback from the base game into account; lots of improvements to mechanics people were underwhelmed by (vampirism, lycanthropy, mounted combat), dungeon puzzles that were actually challenging, etc.

It sounds like Fallout 4 is going to be a huge game with tons to do, so I am not really worried about dlc just yet. I would be happy with 2-3.

On a side note, I was really hoping for more dlc for Skyrim but we get what we get.
