Who thought that was a good idea? Useless as always Bethesda.

They claim it was to prevent pirating from what I heard. I think they just had a crack ton of extra DVD's they needed to do something with, and they only hold 4.7 GB.

Yeah, the game would have to come on between 5 and 7 DVDs if there weren't that downloaded content and as DRM measures go it's far more conscionable than what most publishers do. (See also: Capcom, Sega, Blizzard, EA...) Also, from what I've seen and read Blu Ray adoption has been painfully slow so that's not a great option yet either.
