Seriously, they're not making Skyrim DLC anymore. Is that disappointing? Yes. Is it perhaps a stupid decision, given how much else there is to be desired? Yes. But is it OUR decision? No.

Bethesda made the game and the DLCs, and they can unmake them if we want. We should appreciate the wonderful content they're already given us..

I think part of the reasoning for them was that we have a lot of fantastic mods out there that are practically DLC quality. Anyone here play the Agent of Righteous Might mod? If you haven't, do it (unless you don't have a PC). It's huge, fully voice-acted, has great writing, and is overall just excellent. It's these kinds of things that Bethesda has taken note of (in fact, I believe that Hearthfire is just a more official and expansive release of a mod someone had already made). This is also exampled in some interview with an employee about why you can't use spears/be a werebear/fully control dragons in Dragonborn. He commented that the team was leaving it up to the modders. Stupid? Yes, but it shows that they have a lot of faith in modders.

I really do believe there should be more DLC. I think there should be two more: one about the Falmer/Dwemer, and one about the Thalmor. These two particular story elements are very untapped, especially the latter. But, then again, there's a comprehensive mod series of quests fighting against the Thalmor (forget its name), so why should Bethesda have to do it? (sarcasm)

Regardless of these issues, we can't force Bethesda to work on Skyrim so much. They slaved over it for years, longer than most games nowadays, and made two incredible DLCs. Many games nowadays are in much worse shape than that. If they want to work on something else, that's their choice. If they chose to discontinue the entire Elder Scrolls series, that'd be a major problem.

So for now, let's stop rioting, and wait to see what the future truly has in store for us.

And for those people saying that there's a lot of money to be made, screw off. I've only been a Bethesda fan for a year, and I can see that they aren't the kind of developer to let money compromise their integrity. I'd rather they make few truly brilliant works with a lot of passion than many cash-in works just for money.

I know right? It's almost like watching what happens when a dealer cuts off their buyers.

[Betsy Humpledink]

I don't get it. You are tired of all the "Bethesda is evil" threads, so you start another one? That does not make sense.

[Marina Leigh]

I expect to see a lot of apology threads once Bethesda announces elder scrolls 6 this summer.

Well, Despite the logic...Ignoring them isn't exactly stemming the tide.

You mean like a skooma dealer?

But the civil war debates were getting old so people needed something new to argue about.

[Connie Thomas]

Whiny, spoiled little *****es in dire need of some growing up... gonna whine. To paraphrase somewhat.

[Laura Cartwright]

and you never know they could already be making fallout 4

I don't think that is fair. From what I gave seen, most of the angst is over the way it was communicated. The communication certainly could have been better, but Beth has never been known for its communication skills.

Lol.

Edit: Whoa...how come your name is all weird while quoted?

[Neliel Kudoh]

and you never know they could already be making TES 6.

Here's hoping.

Neither have its detractors.

[Jessie]

It will blow over eventually. People need to vent. The more opportunities you give them to do that (like by starting new threads) the more they are going to vent.

[Cedric Pearson]

To those of you going "yay Fallout 4"... has it ever occurred to you that they may in fact going to be shipping another rushed game? Why else would they abruptly end the Skyrim cycle than to chase deadlines?

[Julie Ann]

They've served us incredibly well. They created one of the best games ever made and produced two/three brilliant DLC's that are of the highest quality.

I don't get it. You are tired of all the "Bethesda is evil" threads, so you start another one? That does not make sense.

I never said they were evil. I said that while their choice may be poor, they've done great work and deserve to work on other things. Everyone else is saying "Bethesda betrayed us!" And I'm saying "Guys, look at what they already gave you!"

[Lalla Vu]

That awkward moment when you stumble upon a really devoted fan circle jerk.

Well, not so awkward in this forum.


EDIT: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that censoring program! I gotta give you this one Bethesda. Well played, well played.

[Kellymarie Heppell]

I'm still sceptical... kind of hoping Bethesda just lied to the public to get people of their backs or something so that they may work on a final dlc secretly

Really? You might want to ask the poor devils that bought a broken product that was clearly not ready to go on their console that

Whoa, firing off the irrationality cannon.

[Daramis McGee]

I don't care, i still support Skyrim and future TES games. I'm a loyal fan, not whining because there is no more dlc. I will still play Skyrim years to come just like Morrowind and Oblivion.

[Vincent Joe]

Like what?

Don't bother reasoning with these people.

I have always thought most of them either work for Beth are are desperate to be come testers for them. Might be wrong mind

[loste juliana]

Whoa, firing off the irrationality cannon.

Um. Will it would fit recent history you must admit?
