What kind of DLC do you like?

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 12:46 pm

I am wondering what kind of DLC people like. I am not asking what you want in it, but how do you like it? I like what they did in Morrowind (Plug-ins) and Oblvion (DLC) where it adds to the game and gives more quests where you can do
them when ever you want. I don't really like what they did for Fallout 3, or New Vegas where the DLC adds new scenarios, but you can only do it and nothing else. So far I haven't
gotten the NV DLC (Blood Money I think it's called) because once I start it, I can only do that and nothing else. I loved Knights of the Nine and Mehrunes Razor because you can
start it and if you don't feel like continuing it, you can stop and come back to it later.

When I played Fallout 3, Mothership Zeta and Operation Anchorage, I found I just rushed it, just to get over it, so I can get back to the waste land. I think they did a good idea for
Point Look out.

So I am curious for Skyrim, how do you like your DLC?

I love full game-expanding expansions, not just smallish DLC.

The nonexistent kind. I prefer appropriately priced, full-fledged expansions to games.

SI, bloodmoon, and PL are my fav dlc from bethesda, so hopefully theyll stick with that.

mehrunes razor is one of my personal favorites as for small dlcs, so i also hope they release a pack with more epic dungeons to crawl through (im console so dont say 'jus mod it in') instead of the stupid houses (granted wizards tower and vamp house were nice to have).

I prefer larger full content expansions to smaller DLC. I also like them to be encorporated into the game world like things have been previously in TES, where you can leave them and come back to them when you want; rather than being seperated from it until you finish it.

Point Lookout and SI were the best examples, but one quest with one dungeon done well is good enough, if the price is right.

Nothing less than what these people want.

It would be nice if they opened up yet another daedric prince's realm. Maybe Azura's.

Expansions.

:stare:

If there are to be small-scale DLC, I would rather they be integrated seamlessly into the world like "upgrades" and less like standalone gimmick. Instead of paying $5.00 to have a castle added to Skyrim, how about having a bunch of castles added throughout Skyrim with their own unique quests and knightly orders? Rather than pay to have some new spells added to the game that only the player will ever use, how about give them to some dangerous new high-level enemies as well to keep the player on their toes? Don't add some small, self-contained region that looks nothing like and never interacts with the rest of Skyrim: change some NPC schedules or add new quests in the base gameworld that integrate with this new area, so it's as if it has always been there.

A true "Expansion Pack" would be ideal. Honestly, I would not object to seeing how the centuries have treated Solsthiem (Probably full of Dunmer Refugees now), failing a true expansion, something that integrates naturally into the core experience would be nice as well. DLC has a habit of "Sticking out" a little too much, though it is getting a lot better. Take Dead Money for example, I don't care what anyone says, Dead Money was awesome in all aspects except for a few bugs, and even though it was totally "Different" than the rest of New Vegas, hanging plot threads leading into it, pre-DLC references, and an incredible story, [s]on par with/s], Better than the main game itself really brought the experience to a "Must buy" for NV players. The Automatic Rifle and Holorifle as well, blending into the game in a manner as that they were incredible powerful, but didn't really break gameplay.


Anyway, while DLC/Expansions like Shivering Isles and Point Lookout were Great alone, I feel they sort of felt out of place. I feel the need to elaborate a little on Shivering Isles before an epic Sh*tstorm is hurled out, Shivering Isles was a victim of it's own quality. The Overall experience, from the land, to the people, to the memorable story, was of such high caliber, as to really stick out when compared to the "Meh" that was Oblivion. Not saying Oblivion was bad, but it was just so formulaic and lacked a real, stand-out personality of it's own, compared to Shivering isles especially.
