In what way were Morrowinds' expansions that much diferrent from Oblivions'? :ermm: I mean yeah, Knights of the Nine added little, but then again neither do people call it a real expansion, more like a DLC.

Morrowind had 2 expansions and some small free official mods. That's the way to do it IMHO.

Oblivion's DLCs (minus KOTN) are rubbish because of their content, implementation and price. They should have been free official mods and they should have had a half decent quest in order to obtain the mod's objective.

KOTN was a good mod IMO, but should have been cheaper as standalone, or free yet better.

SI was worthy.

I doubt that they will go along Morrowind route though. Correct route, but not for money making.

Obviously Morrowind like..although I liked Shivering Isles more than the Morrowind expansions.

Why are Morrowind expansions and Oblivion expansions separated?
Assuming DLC doesn't count as expansions. Shivering Isles, Tribunal and Bloodmoon could easily be put in the same category.

Yeah, I didn't get that either. I think he just meant the oblivion DLC like Mehrunes Razor, Knights of the Nine etc. And was not including Shivering Isles. :shrug:

Anyway, I want a mix of both. I bought every DLC for Oblivion day one. Even horse armor. Yeah, that's how bad I want to give Bethesda my money when it comes to Elder Scrolls. I really enjoyed Knights of the Nine and Mehrunes razor. They were both excellent DLC's and are just as they should be. More of that would be fine if they go alongside expansions. In the sense of Shivering Isles, Bloodmoon, and Tribunal. On top of all that DLC I want to see at the least one major expansion for Skyrim.

the bigger the better

Chose one and motivate why?

Personally I preferred the Expansions of Morrowind , they where big , large and unique , adding more land and content , and verymuch fulfilling and completing of the story .... Bloodmoon and Tribunal where way better than fallout or oblivion expansions ....

Only Shivering isles got closer to what morrowind expansions where like ....

I prefer to have expansions ala Morrowind than else ... plus if they make them very large and long the better.....

and possibly keep a team producing expansions untill the next ES Game ...

Well technically Oblivion only had one expansion, Morrowind had two. Basically Shivering Isles was the same as the Morrowind expansions.

I want TES to stay as much from Fallout as possible for most points, but the Fallout 3 DLC's were GOLD!

Would be nice if they used something similar to the Pitt in Fallout 3. Maybe the Cam! For Camlorn in High Rock, or whatever you like.

And please! don't make us pay for horse armor this time..

this is true, the morroind option should also mention shivering isles for oblivion, to make a clear seperation..

I dont really care what type of expansions they make, as long as they keep the trend of givin new places to explore (such as Bloodmoon, Point Lookout, and SI). i voted for FO3 expansions jus because i felt lik they were great for the price we payed for them, also i lik variety.

Give me Dwemeris..................pleeaaseeee

I like big, meaty, Bloodmoon style expansions. However, since those seem to be going away, I think Knights of the Nine is a good example of DLCs done right. Player homes are a dime a dozen and horse armor is just fluff, additional gametime (locations, quests) is where its at. Beth seems to have done well with that in FO3, though I've not played it.

I don't understand, you mention mainly non fallout things,and then you vote for fallout? strange

note why i said i lik variety. Bloodmoon and SI were great but i lik to see more variety in the landscape. if they make a full blown expansion with all kinds of landscapes then sure that would be great. I mean look at oblivion and SI, even tho u could go exploring most of it looked the same which gets old to me. thats why i voted for FO3 expansions since they offered different places to see and go

But often they wouldn't add a whole lot though. That said, I didn't like SI that much. But I tihnk tribunal added quite a few variations of areas, sewers, large city, the clockwork thing.. I see where you're coming from, but I don't see a reason to add 10 different places if oyu olny spend 2 hours in each. Each to his own, but I prefer a large expansion with a larger story and additions

» Fri Apr 08, 2011 12:02 am

Something lengthy that I can sink my teeth in. A new or expanded location, multiple new quests, maybe a couple of new items and/or features. I see no point in chopping it up into small piece dlc's because they alone won't make me wan't to replay the game. And when the time comes to replay the game I'm perfectly well off the odd 1h quest and the 2 new shiny items sold separately. But give Bloodmoon or Tribunal expansions and they're too big for me to disregard.

» Fri Apr 08, 2011 3:18 am

I can't really chose between Morrowind and Oblivion. Bloodmoon and Shivering Isles is the same kind of expansion. Many hours of new gameplay, quests, enemies and a whole new gameworld to explore. That is the kind of expansion i want. I will most likely not buy any DLC unless it's true expansion packs like that.

yeah tribunal was pretty good, its jus been forever since i played it tho. but yeah im not sayin have 10 different places and 2 hours at each place, im jus sayin they should expand on the visuals a bit. lik look at point lookout, its all swamp (which is cool) but they couldve expanded on it with say an underground cavern to add more variety to exploration.

on side note im really excited about skyrim since it sounds lik the landscape will be vary diverse compared to oblivion

-edit- plus those of u that are sayin dlc is not good, go look at borderlands dlc. Borderlands has the best dlc quality on the market for the price.

Morrowind Expansion like

Bloodmoon is my favorite :happy:

Bloodmoon prophecy + Solstheim + Raven Rock/East Empire Company Missions + Werewolves + Hircine = :celebration:

Oh yes

This setting is so much better than 90% dull forest

After Dead Money, I'd be fine with fallout-type expansions. Great story, writing, and characters but still in a smal package.

» Thu Apr 07, 2011 5:18 pm

I loved Knights of the Nine but that's really the minimum size.

» Thu Apr 07, 2011 8:07 pm

I prefer having two or three major expansion packs than lots of little add ons. For TES I don't mind paying for them, especially if Bloodmoon, Tribunal, and Shivering Isles is anything to go by. Little DLC's are nice, but never seem worth it in the long run.

DLC's annoy me, some of them are so worthless that I never end up buying them - yet a small part of me feel left out for not completing the game with its full content. That feeling usually passes rather quick, though still... I'd prefer paying more for some big expansions ala Shivering Isle (pure awesome) and the Morrowind expansions

» Fri Apr 08, 2011 5:02 am

If you play the expansion as the Dovahkiin, I'd prefer an expansion large enough for there to be actual character development. However, I really liked the Leliana's Song DLC for DA:O. A more-or-less free-standing adventure that showed another side of events could be fun and wouldn't have to be as large as an expansion to achieve a distinct identity. Something like playing a soldier in the king's guard at the time of his assassination and having to choose sides could be really interesting.
