So, a massive DLC

Post » Sat Jan 08, 2011 11:23 am

I'd love it if they added expansions like Tribounal and Bloodmoon.

Personally, I would like to see 2-4 smaller (Knights of the Nine sized or a bit smaller, such as a combination of all of the DLC houses from Oblivion) every other month or so (whatever is comfortable for them) to keep the interest up until the big seperate expansion, (A disk to install) which could easily be included in the inevitable gold/game of the year edition.

Perhaps others have pointed this out, but to those of you who are sad that DLCs will only be about as big as KotN:

There is a difference between a DLC (Horse Armor :lmao: , Spell Tomes, player housing, KotN, etc.) and an Expansion, like Shivering Isles.

Though I suppose the difference has become a bit of a blurry one. Was Point Lookout (FO3), for example, and Expansion or DLC? I always considered it an Expansion with the amount of extra content it added, but perhaps not?

I did buy the expansions packs, Tribunal and Bloodmoon. When they tried to sell me horse armor, I just laughed. I don't do those.

If the OP means large DLC for station players, and expansions packs for PC, downloadable, or, to be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then ok, I'd like that.

I do not buy bits and pieces of games "Online." I do buy expansion packs.

I don't see why all the hate for revisiting places we've already been. I would be glad to see a new place or revisit an old place. If reusing bits from past games is so offensive to people then why are we all so excited for a game with a 5 in the title. Why not scrap Elder Scrolls all together and make a new franchise?....oh yeah, b/c we like to see how the world progresses, we are already familiar with the races, the lore, the creatures.

There is a richness to this franchise that would be a waste to just toss out, and it is possibly to similarly make cities we're seen in the past both exciting with new content and sights but deeper and more expresssive of the lore by having changed over the last couple centuries from the events that occured in the areas.

I'm not saying that we need to reuse an old area, but there are distinct advantages. Say for example they wanted to have an expansion what focused on an city that some dragon has rosted to a crisp and turned that region into their dominion with lots of dragonlings and other subordinants. We could have it set in a new area, perhaps Elinhir in Hammerfell, but our 1st impression of that area would be a roasted destroyed vista and this the loss of the city be less impactful. But if Bruma, a city that likely 3/4 of Skyrim players would have seen before, were used the destruction could be more impactful. A couple unique bits of landscape or even sections of city could be intact and used to house eggs or treasures, helping players visualize where things used to be, but all enemies and quest and most the scenery would be different. Resistance factions could be holed up in cavers that in Oblivion were full of baddies, allowing for continuance of the game world.

I wish people were more interested in new things instead of wanting the same thing rehashed over and over and over and over and over.


And that is why CoD makes all the monies.

Id like to see some interesting DLC. Rather than new missions, areas, etc, it would be nice to see new item packs released.

For example

New weapon packs that feature decent amounts of new and some unique weapons.
New spells/potions
New animals/wilderness
More enemies
New locations in the existing world

In essence, it would be cool to see them work on improving the already existing world with new things. I also like new quests and areas (like shivering isles) but if they spent a quarter of the amount of time on that on making packages like the one above, Skryim itself could constantly be evolving.

I really hope they do more dlc related to the daedric worlds. Before I played Oblivion, the only thing I knew about the daedra was that they were always angry and wanted to kill me. The Shivering Isles gave me more insight to the character of the daedric lords. They're always the strongest regular enemies in the Elder Scrolls, and they aren't mindless animals, so I want to know more about them. Sheogorath and Jyggalag were hilarious. Why can't we see more of the game from the daedric perspective?

I would rather see a big expansion pack. DLC generally is not that great.

Or an expanded real crafting system not some jerkish minigame shortbuss minded.

How about a DLC completely dedicated to adding an underground world similar to the Underdark in Forgotten Realms or Deepholm in WoW Cataclysm? I think the mountainous terrain in Skyrim lends itself quite easily to that type of setting. Combined with the return of Dwemer ruins, it could kick some serious butt.

This looks more like an expansion than the Whiskey Delta DLC bethesda has been vomiting out.

I still want to see High Rock. High rock could be created with a lot more detail than there ever was in Daggerfall and Arena. It's fairly small in comparison to Skyrim when looked at from the tamriel map, and it has a linear shape so it would be logical to add high rock as an expansion.

I do hope it's expansions and not DLCs this time.

I want a DLC where you return to atmora to find out what happened or a trip to akavir would be awesome since dragons are from there.

Akavir is an entire continent.

Atmora wouldn't be too bad, as from the sounds of it, the last expedition to there returned with the fact that atmora was a frozen barren wasteland uninhabitable to humans.. so it would make a good little trip to land at the shores of atmora for an expedition, and not go much further (for obvious reasons).

At the end you'd come off with a unigue dragon shout from slaying the boss dragon at the end & some cool sets of weapons & armor all of which look legen..... (Wait for it!) ..........DARY!!!


Haha! HIMYM reference, nice.

Anyway, if they did indeed make a large-scale expansion like SI than I'd wanna go somewhere new probably.

I believe Beth has said that future DLCs will be at the FO3 level, or about the size of KotN for Oblivion.


Sigh.... Why Bethesda why? I'd rather them make a single expansion and no DLC to various DLC's and no expansion

If we get one bigger DLC though I wouldn't Solstheim again :)
All I ask is no Horse Armor DLC's!

And I'd love to see what Morrowind is like now.



Look at a picture of the landscape of Mars.
