I will be happy with something the size of Point Lookout. The only thing I did not like about PL was the bugs. Sure it could have had more quests but of all the DLC that one seemed more like an expansion than the others. I like a a more open place to explore as opposed to basically being led in straight line with a few twista and turns.

I'm very disappointed, yes. I love expansions - the bigger, the better!

Hi everyone - new to the forums so hello and extremely stoked for Skrim.

Personally I'm more than happy with the DLC approach. Having played all the Fallout DLC I personally thought it gave an excellent amount of additional gameplay. Point Lookout for example was definitely a more interesting add on than KOTN.

I didn't think all the Fallout DLC was great BUT the amount of content wasn't the issue. I'd definitely like Bethesda to look at making sure the DLC is better integrated into the overall feel of the world but we didn't end up with Aliens in Fallourt because the content was DLC

I'd also argue that DLC gives a company the option to be a bit more flexible - you could imagine a DLC package of the best mods. Expansion packs are fine and I thought Bloodmoon and Shivering Isles were great but there's no reason why you couldn't deliver something as interesting through DLC.

I'll also just add that the wording of the poll isn't ideal in terms of getting a good discussion going.

if they mean fallout 3 DLC like point lookout then its not so bad. it wasnt as big in area as SI but at least it was a new area to explore.

I agree that whatever DLC that Beth comes up with is going to be good but it won't be as good as an Expansion Pack. Shivering Isles made a great game in Oblivion even better.

I would rather have small but many dlc's than big and few. But at least one big DLC wouldnt be too bad but I dont rele mind cos either way Skyrim will be EPIC

Skyrims going to be good regardless of DLC but an Expansion pack could make Skyrim a GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). :celebration:

You mean it's not a Generalized Occupational Aptitude Test?! Darn it . I think most awards ignore Expansions or count them as separate games in some cases...

SI was the only part of Ob that I enjoyed, there was no point in me bothering with any of the other OB dlc.

Was the Fo3 dlc 360 exclusive? No, I remember, PC and 360 exclusive. I play on PC but was so angered by this exclusivity deal that the though of buying the dlc near release date never entered my head. I do now own the Fo3 dlc thanks to a Steam sale, I've not played it yet - way to go exclusive deals.

The FoNV dlc was 360 exclusive and I still think the exclusivity deal stinks. I'll wait until a full pack is available at sale price and see if I'm still interested... Way to go Beth. and MS.

I only need to say Horse Armor and that right there sums it up for DLC's for Oblivion. Mehrunes Razor was ok, and KOTN was average but they pale in comparasion to Shivering Isles.

there HAS to be one large expansion. morrowind and oblivion have done it, i don't see why they wouldn't for skyrim. I know what they've said in the interviews and what not but i still think there will be one semi large dlc and a few smaller ones.

I said kinda, because I do like larger expansion packs. On the other hand, if their reason for preferring smaller DLCs is wanting to move team members to the "next big thing" sooner rather than later, it becomes harder to say. Do I want larger DLCs or to get my hands on Fallout 4 (and subsequently TES VI) somewhat sooner? I hate the idea of them dismissing A Really Cool Idea for a DLC just because it would be too large, but I'd also prefer the gaps between their games to be somewhat shorter than between Oblivion and Skyrim.

Where's the option to vote for "I don't care, PS3's don't get DlCs?
btw: If we don't get atleast one expansion the size of Tribunal or more I will officialy be [CENSORED] off... comeon naw, give us Daggerfall (the city), or Highrock + Orsinium...

btw again: For DLCs I'd prefer Morrowind style... atleast they didn't charge money for it... and Morrowinds biggest one had more content than Oblivions horse armor and its other [CENSORED]... please don't make a mistake and [CENSORED] me off, I'm a psycho...

I don't want Fallout 4 to come sooner for that reason because if they did that then the odds of bugs being in the game are much higher.

I don't care as long as it's on par with the Fallout 3 stuff. Those DLCs were sizable enough, though it wouldn't mind with something more lengthy.

The DLC for Oblivion was the worst of any game I've ever played. They even went as far as putting in a locked door to the Orrery and then making us pay to see what was behind it.

The only content I want to see, or I will pay for, is a full blown expansion with a main quest and new items. Anything less than that, I won't touch unless it's free... because that's about all it's worth.

I need to clarify, the main quest in any expansion should be at least 5+ hours of game play.

I fully agree with Sin911.

However, my natural tendency is not to trust the DLC concept. I see DLCs as mostly just bits and pieces. I will wait and see.

I do buy expansions...but I don't buy horse armor.

The business model of the industry is now the microtransaction and I blame the "gamers" who buy these inferior products. (See horse armour for Oblivion) Game companies will continue to nickel and dime you to death as long as you keep buying these tiny DLC's masquerading as expansions. Stop buying garbage and the industry will stop producing it. Pretty simple really.

I never bought a single dlc of any of the games I have because I hate credit cards and I don't use them.
I only buy retail copies.
If they are not going to make an expansion pack,I hope after they have many dlcs they will make a collection of them and release retail copies of it.

Knights of the Nine size would ok. No horse armor, please.

Point Lookout was FANTASTIC and was a ton of great content for $10. If the DLC is all like PL I'll be ecstatic.

I don't have a problem with smaller DLC as long as the content is good and makes sense. If they do a larger expansion I would prefer a journey to a nearby land that isn't initially included in the Skyrim province or something to that effect. I wasn't particularly enamored with all of the little houses and things you could download for Oblivion, so I could live without that type of content for sure....unless it was done differently to make it more interesting.

Lucky that the devs actually read the forums, so this poll raises the chances of actually getting a big expansion.

I wouldn't have had as much of a problem with the themed houses if there were more of a quest to get them. I loved Frostcraig Tower, the Wizard tower, but it was disappointing how empty it was and I widh it had more secrets to find, more backstory to uncover, etc.

BTW, I'm in support of actual Expansions. Shivering Isles was actually the first expansion pack I ever bought for a game (Morrowing GOTY was given to me).

this thread is really biased. i would've hit the no option, but there wasn't any one besides a negative no option.
