So I was reading through some Skyrim info and remember seeing that Todd had said that the DLC's would be more substantial. Does that mean they will be the equivalent of the Expansions as in what we saw from Neverwinter Nights or just DLC's as with Dragon Age or do you think they will have horse armor?

DLCs confirmed to be like Fallout 3's, but longer.

Well obviously not something like horse armor...trollz... but it is going to be very substantial packs, most likely adding story, weapons, armors, areas and many other things. Also probably priced higher, like fifteen or twenty i would assume.

I imagine shivering isles size from what i've heard

I have never been impressed with Bethesda's mods. Bethesda's Morrowind mods and Bethesda's Oblivion mods were all sub-par. The best user-made mods were far better than anything Bethesda made for those games. I see no reason to expect Skyrim to be any different.

The DLC will take longer to come out because the teams won't overlap working on several DLC at a time like with Fallout 3, the entire Skyrim team will work on one DLC at a time.

I'd agree 100% if it weren't for the Shivering Isles.

Personally I consider Shivering Isles to be an expansion, not a mod.

Ah, I see. I wasn't sure of your definition. So yeah, 100% agreement then.

The Skyrim DLC is said to be between Fallout 3 and Shivering Isles length and scope.

Expansions

Expansions

I've never played the Fallout series so I don't know how big those expansions are and I honestly don't remember playing Shivering Isle although I'm pretty sure I did.

I think there will be about four DLC's somewhere between Shivering Isles and Fallout's DLC's, content-wise. Which suits me fine. There should be some good variety in there.

Fallout 3 Point Lookout DLC = 10 quests

Shivering Isles = 40 quests


I'm guessing 20 quests.

I'm gonna guess we get one big expansion, then a few small DLC's. At least this is what I hope for.

Confirmed or commented that they pretend to do so???

I remember hearing something about the dlc being a few things about the size of point lookout. I'm not really concerned since vanilla skyrim will probably keep me busy enough for a long time.

Out of Todd's mouth

I would like a Morrowind expansion/DLC (so we can see rest of Morrowind).

Depends on how they're done.

Fallout New Vegas is the first game I've played where I can honestly say I felt like I got my money's worth when I bought the DLCs, and wasn't just buying the DLCs out of a need to get the "complete" game. I straight up wanted them.
But that's only one fairly recent game that's done it right. All other DLCs I've played have felt like a downgrade from an expansion.

So Expansion, preferably, but if they must do DLCs (which they will, because it seems more profitable), please take a lesson from the DLCs of New Vegas.
Give the DLCs actual meaning and make them tie into the main game, not just "OH WOW UR CHARACTER GOT TRICKED/KIDNAPPED/ABDUCTED FOR THE HUNDRETH TIME DESPITE BEING A VERY EXPERIENCED WARRIOR AND TOTAL BADASS HOW ABOUT THAT, well, guess he'll just have to fight his way out of this area that has absolutely nothing to do with the original setting, almost to the point where you'd think the original setting has ceased to exist!"

I did like Fallout's DLCs, so if it's somthing like that, I will be happy. In my opinion, they were better than Oblivion's (except Shivering Isles, of course).

expansions! give me another blood moon or tribunal!

By today standards you can call BloodMoon and Tribunal "Very Big and Content-Full DLCs". :tongue:

The line between "Very Big and Content-Full DLCs" and "Expansions" is hard to trace. Most Age of Empires "Expansions" can be compared to "New Campaigns DLCs" by today standards.

I agree with you there. For the most part when I buy a dlc for a game it has been for the feeling of actually completing the game and not because I felt like I needed it. The last expansion that I bought that I felt I actually had to have was from Neverwinter Nights. The DLC packages from Dragon Age were more just to finish and mostly downright disappointment. I know I mention those 2 games alot but those have been the only ones that I have downloaded anything for. Before that was Neverwinter nights, which I thought I really got my money for.

While I'm sure we'll get at least a couple "must have" expansions, I'm pretty sure that we'll also get the lairs of convenience. (AKA the stronghold/tower/thieves' den/assassin's lair)...and is the flavor of XBL, and (presumably) PSN, I wouldn't be shocked that there will also be the "warrior/mage/thief" packs which will contain gear and/or raw crafting ingredients for players who either blindly buy all DLC for a game they own, or genuinely feel they need the boost.
