Cash-grab DLC that you would still totally buy?

Post » Sun Mar 31, 2013 6:21 pm

If Bethesda made some small, not-so-fullfilling DLC, what would it have to be for you to still buy it?

I personally would totally buy a DLC that adds some of the different designs of weapons and armor from previous Elder Scrolls games. For example, very old smithing books that teach you how to create Morrowind and Oblivion-style Glass, Ebony, Daedric gear, etc.

Not very creative because we've seen them before in previous games, and they'd be the same quality as Skyrim's iderations. Just some light nostalgia DLC for long-time fans. I personally wouldn't be able to resist buying regardless.

What cash-grab DLC would you totally buy?

New spell effects, armor, weapons, enemies, or houses. Although i'd rather they be added in through expansions with quests rather than just get added randomly.

A DLC that gives more apparal.
Thick fur coats, Valkyrie circlets, clothes from other provinces etc.
That sort of thing.

Armor packs that make sense.
For example in TES VI: Alinor, there is a new DLC which adds Solsthiem armors that were packed on a ship or something like that..

A good example of a cash-grab DLC for me, even more so than Horse Armor, was the Spell Tomes from Oblivion. Less than 5$, and now spell tomes would appear in random loot. I never actually found any spells that were actually useful. Usually a fairly weak elemental spell, or stat buff. When it was released, one of the devs even made comment that he wanted to do something similar to alchemy ingredients. So, I'm keeping this in my mind while I'm thinking about this in terms of Skyrim...

Hm, for me then, it would have to be a DLC that replaced Skyrims horce mechanics with Oblivions, but kept the mounted combat. But I would still by it, just so horses actually went faster.

I'd pay 5$ for First-Person everything.

How about those get bundled in a bigger DLC?

...No you see, that's the joke here...
We're talking about DLC that would be insulting, but would probably still buy.

I'd pay 5$ for a slew of new interesting followers with quests tied to them.
