Hello DHDSDM.


There's nothing wrong with it. But it isn't exactly rational either. Reason would dictate that, as economic actors, we would seek to protect our interests, that is, get the product or service for the cheapest price possible. I'm sure iZsoul is expressing his appreciation and devotion for BGS, which is perfectly fine.

That doesn't matter, since Bethesda doesn't patch DLCs.

Once again Bethesda: prove me wrong, i dare you!

And that has to do with pricing because...?

Just so you know, there are over 10 million people who disagree with you. That's a respectable enough market share (well-earned, I might add) that your own personal concerns over price and your personal budget are not really consequential. Can't afford it? Wait until the GOTY edition is about 5 years old, it'll maybe come down to $20 or so total by then.

As to your 70 Euro... you do realize that the currency is, and always has been, over valued, right? The Brits abstaining was the best thing any European country did when Maurice Strong and cronies brought up the "world bank" thing. Anyway... how much is a pair of Levi's 501 (button fly, original pre-wash) in your country? Or, how much do you pay for a single movie ticket for a new release? 1½ hours for how many Euro? I'll let Skyrim's < 1 Euro/hour stand on its own now.

Nothing, i thougth you were refering to the second line, about the bugginess

I challenge you to say something positive for once. Something positive that doesn't have to do with any kind of past generation of anything, including, but not limited to, earlier entries in any game series (i.e.: talking up Morrowind is fail).

Aye, many that I know didn't bother buying this DLC because you pretty much buy a new content with alot of new bugs that may ruin the entire gameplay experience, overall.
For this price and this little content, it should had been bug free.

Skyrim is a bigger game and far more `open` of course there going to be bugs and Borderlands is like 3 years old that is why it's cheap newer things cost more.

With people like this, do not expect prices to go down anytime soon..

I concentrate my money for anything TES related.
First TES , then everything else.

Frankly, it's a bit surprising that people (seems mostly younger folk, the ones with, if they even work, 100% disposable income) are still complaining about pricing that is perfectly in line with the industry. What's even more confusing is that the price is (in the USA anyway) no more than the value of a couple of hours flipping burgers or folding pants. $20 isn't even enough for a week's worth of lunch, breakfast, or even good coffee twice a day. People REALLY need to reevaluate how they value things.

I've heard some advlts actually have proper responsibilities.

And yet others do not live beyond their means and don't fault a company fir not being able to afford their particular brand of luxury.

You can get Borderlands for ￡7. Dawnguard costs ￡14. Release date is irrelevant. Borderlands is still a great game. Morrowind is still a great game. There are loads of games that are already good that are out. it just depends whether you have played them or not.
*Sigh* Really? Look at Bloodmoon, look at SI. They are worth it. Just because Cod overprices it's dlcs doesn't mean Bethesda has to.

Really? Release is irrelevant? Okay... by that logic then every new release should be 5I bucks. That or you can pay me 50to each for some 2600shrimp carts I have laying around.

Release is irrelevant?

Remind me, how much did Borderlands cost on release? How about Morrowind? I'll give you a hint: it rhymes with "Shmexactly the shmame as Shmyrim".

Totally agree. Most games are overpriced and dlc is even more overpriced.
I would, maybe, buy Dawnguard if the price dropped to around 5-7€. If it actuallly added something I was interested in and had enough content for it's price I'd go as high as 10€ but Dawnguard doesn't come close to that value.

And a good businessman knows you lose at lot more money buy selling at a too high price than by selling at the correct price. Unfortunately for Beth, they have poor businessmen in charge.

Yeah, release date directly correlates with the cost of a product. Dawnguard will very likely be less than 20 dollars in 3 years from now.

Yep. Those poor, poor businessmen who are currently wading through cash just to get to their office door. They're really terrible at their jobs.

Release date is not irrelevant. The prices of things drop as they get older. In two more years how much do you think Skyrim will cost? Saying release date doesn't matter is ridiculous at best.

Honestly the Shivering Isles wasn't that good. I'm sick of people pointing to that as an awesome expansion.

Wait for the price to drop if you think dawnguard cost so much.

LOL, at least someone agrees with me. I actually found Sheogorath unbearably annoying (I avoid the Pelagius wing) and the quests boring and repetitively so, and, well, annoying. Shivering Isles actually reminds me of Windhelm marries The Fade (DA), neither of which are up there on my favorite places list.

Not at all, at least the game and dlc is worth every damn penny. Compare this to call of duty's pricing.

+1

Dawnguard is slightly more content than Knight's of the Nine and slightly less than Shivering Isles.

KotN - ￡7
Dawnguard - ￡14
Shivering Isles - ￡20

It's a good dlc, even if lacking content and very much niche focussed.

For that reason, in my view, it is not worth nearly a third of the retail value of the main game.

I accept that people will disagree, but this pricing is a step towards a 'free to play' retail model, where the profit and income is based on dlc and other add-ons, and I personally wouldn't like to see that happen in the future, simply because the content of the base games would be seriously lacking, and it would see the end of modding. I will be interested to see what the pricing model will be for the mmo in development...then we may see whether the rubes are being milked or not.
