I think Im gonna buy it and start again as I havent played Skyrim in almost 8 month now. IMHO I support more dawnguard's kind of mini expansions than some DLCs. Saint Row 3 is perfect example what I hate about DCLs.

I already have 20$ set aside for dg when it comes out...

I'm sticking to my word. I will wait 1 month + 8 days until I buy this (same time it took them to release it). Bethesda wants to play stupid timed exclusive games, well my money can have a timed exclusive aswell.

I'm also holding on to my guns. No DG for me, possibly ever, unless the subsequent DLCs are equally meh, in which case I'll get them all in the skyrim goty version.

I was thinking 40 but 30 will work

I'll see your rational actor and raise you a horde of people with poor impulse control and an angry mob.

Anyway, I don't disagree at all that timing and other factors are part of the buying choice. But BGS is following a standard, simple rule that every media industry uses: start out selling high, then drop the price when interest drops. Rinse and repeat.

What I was talking about earlier was the issue of calling a price (of a new release) unfair because prices for old releases were cheaper. While technically it might be a more logical choice to wait to purchase everything until a combined GOTY or whatever is released, there's nothing unreasonable or unusual about a company selling something at the highest price they think they can get away with. Of course, with the contemporary corporate love for risk mitigation, you could argue the opposite, too. There are any number of "logical" reasons to rush buy a product now to mitigate the risk of deferred gratification.

If the Crossbows work, it will be worth the $19.99 I paid for it on Steam.

I loved it and say it was worth the money. Though my experience may vary to yours. I never fast travel, so the DLC lasted pretty long, and I had barely any bugs. The only bug I can think of is the ash piles not going away, but just recently, they were all cleaned up so I pretty much had no bugs. The story was good, the new areas to explore were beautiful, new spells, weapons, items, etc were all great. I believe it's definitely worth it.

No don't buy it. It isn't worth 20 bucks. its not even worth 15.

I would never buy a DLC for 20 bucks. I think it's way too expensive, but I've heard most people are satisfied with the game, so if you're really hyped up for Dawnguard I say go ahead and buy it.

I refuse to buy it at ￡14. the reviews aren't that good, I am sure theres better mods out there tbh.I'll wait till it's down to 9.99 or less in the steam sales. I bet they would have sold twice the dlc at ￡9.99 way too pricey for some svcky vampire bolt on, not even any fleshed out new terrain, all that empty terrain south of skyrim, bit of a waste imho

You should know this already.

Actually, during an E3 interview, Todd Howard said Dawnguard will be smaller than Shivering Isles. Watched it on TV myself. Maybe somewhere else he may have said Skyrim would get a Shivering Isles sized DLC, but perhaps Dawnguard was suppose to be the "Knights of the Nine" and there is going to be another more bigger DLC to come.

20$?

Nope.

For 9$ I MIGHT have bought it, but even then it's a stretch because of the Xbox exclusivity.

Don't shut up and don't take my money.

Bought it right now for PC.

From what I've heard about it, I expected it to be at the ￡5-7 price point; ￡14 is just way too much.

Then again, the Skyrim CE was insanely overpriced so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Try this one: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9782
It's awesome, AND free.

Doesn't this so called Dawnguard have Crossbows?




That is a very cool mod... The first of its kind.

It is a beautiful thing.
Shows what can be done.

Don't know what about you , but I'm already playing it.
( Taking the quests will take a few weeks for me , but I met the appearance changer )

Wow the ignorance in this thread is just miraculous...

Same content as Knights of the Nine?

Sure, Dawnguard had only one questline, one new armor/weapon set, one or two more enemies just like KotN. Because the DLC is over and offers no new content if you finish the main quest, right?


And who the [censored] said this is going to be like Shivering Isles.

Hi there ebevan91!


They're working on a new IP, called Cyberpunk, which somehow seems to be intended to go head to head with Betehsda's Fallout series.

On topic, Dawnguard for PC is currently priced at around 20 bucks. That's way too pricey. Half of that at the very most.

Off-topic, but

The 1.7 patch has fixes for Dawnguard on 360. So yes they can patch DLC.

I don't think you understand the reason for X-Box getting things first.

If you offered to pay Bethesda for exclusive rights to first download, then I'm sure they'd be willing to listen.
