Skyrim Steam Sale - Hearthfire for ￡2.08 : V

» Fri Jul 24, 2015 10:44 am

Hey guys there's a big Bethesda sale on steam right now, and with the USKP patch moving to require all DLC becoming the USLEEP patch, Hearthfire is ￡2.08 right now.

Only -40% for the separate DLC prices? No, thank you.

I want cheaper. Considerably cheaper.

It's already dirt cheap, do you want it for free?

Cheaper than ￡2.08?

I got the Legendary Edition DVD from Amazon.co.uk on release for about ￡20, which was significantly cheaper than all three DLC sold as separates, let alone the Vanilla Skyrim +3 DLC, and it included all the official patches.

I already had the original Skyrim vanilla DVD on release for about ￡20 as well, but the Legendary Edition was a far better deal than three separate DLC and still is.

All three separate DLC alone are still costing more on Steam than the Legendary Edition:

Steam Prices:Legendary       ￡9.99Skyrim vanilla  ￡3.39Dragonborn      ￡8.39Hearthfire      ￡2.08Dawnguard       ￡8.39               ￡22.25

At Amazon.co.uk, the Legendary Edition is still cheaper at ￡8.86. Either way, you still have to download it from Steam.

So, whichever way you look at it, if you have no DLC or if you have only Dragonborn or only Dawnguard, the Legendary Edition is the better deal. It's only just over 1/2 the price of the three separates and less than Hearthfire plus either of the other two.

If you already have Dawnguard and Dragonborn, ￡2.08 is barely even a pint of lager.

The absolute cost is small, yes, but it's 20% the cost of legendary Skyrim, which makes it terrible value. I for one think that value, rather than cost, drives purchasing, and I hate how abnormally high DLC pricing is. You get a relatively tiny amount of content for a hugely inflated price.

Exactly. It's important to put things in a proper perspective.

This thread was more for the peeps who don't have HF, but have DG and DB

i'd wait for -75% on anything Skyrim related, if i didn't have them already. Black friday should be the longest you would have to wait, i guess.
