The people behind witcher 2? I heard they gave away a free DLC.

Ya.. it was pretty big.. Dark Souls new DLC is probbably the same size as Dawnguard or bigger and will probably be 10 dollars.. I know that the game and the DLC combined are 40 dollars.. Dark Souls overall to me is better than skyrim..

Also editting that post thinking of more Developer teams..

That sure is a lot of developers...

Also the Enhanced version is not really a DLC, but a big and extensive patch...
I mean, it's hardly about new content but adding to already existing ones.

The DLC was PC-only though right?

Ya but dawnguard actually would be 360 only but it was just ported.. So same situation... They make it for one system..

Ah, Rockstar. My all time favorite developer/publisher. Make such brilliant games and DLC.

Thats what dawnguard did.. Todd Howard said.. That the DLC's for skyrim won't be about adding in new content (like landmass) but adding more to pre-exsisting content.. Same boat..

Seriously?

DLC, ported?

Do you even know what you are saying?

Yeah, not really, especially since there are new content (like landmass)

Lol.. Do you really think Bethesda would make 3 of the exact same DLC? No... lol.. They would make one copy and port it to work on 2 other systems.. Been doing for ages..

Same reason there will never be a good Bethesda game using the creation engine on the PS3.. They are just porting it.. Not actually taking the time with it...

Well if you go by that definition then you DLCs have to be ported. I mean, they work the same on all consoles (unless it's a special DLC like that), because it is mainly depended on the game itself not the console.

The original statement concerned only that they made the DLC for one system intended.. Skyrim makes for one intended and 2 are ports... I was merely saying that, no difference.. So that statement clearly cannot work..

You think Dawnguard isn't a port? Haha.

I value it more than 20$
and it definitely is bigger than Knight's of the Nine
they added more than just the Dawnguard Questline, there's still other quests added to do that I find intriguing.
In addition, Adding another type of weapon (Crossbow) is only a small part to it where nothing in the Knights of the Nine added anything new like that at all.

maybe it's not for you power gamer's who only dis-value something because you treat it like crap skipping everything just to do it faster.

What dlc are you talking about dawnguard is fantastic. I was under the impression it was "2 quest and then done" and among other things critics are raving about but they were wrong its actually very well done.

Why do you keep posting that "dirty foreigners" junk? Is that really necessary? We can do without these repeated xenophobic comments from you...

He is saying that Bethesda is saying that..


Ok.. Knights of Nine was first off.. A really bad DLC.. lacked content.. small.. Knights of the nine added in 1 Building.. If Dawnguard is 3x that one building.. I would probably not buy it.. But I can tell you don't understand what your talking about.. Probably haven't played Knights of Nine.. And I don't know where this mathmatical 3x Knights of Nine is coming from.. 3x as bad? 3x the size? Both would define bad to me..

You rush through games and then complain they're short.

EDIT: Also, I notice people are literally saying the DLCs should be payed for by the square mile/number of minutes/pieces of armor/etc. they add to the game. Again;

40 hours on a DLC... Your only excuse better be some birth disorder making you incapable from doing anything... Read what I comment too..

The DLC adds two new big quest-lines as well as bunch of other quests, and content. But obviously people who like to roleplay, aren't as good at the game or maybe just like to explore have birth disorders/defects. Might as well euthanize them. And I did read what you wrote it goes "Then people need to learn how to fast travel and they must be taught you can actually run in the game.. or use a horse.." Is there some deep, hidden message here which I fail to recognize?

Obviously somebody with a disorder would have more trouble playing.. Unless your talking about those who are anti-social and science showed they are prone to use technology.. Lets not be ignorant.. And If you roll play that your one-legged.. Then fine.. You can play the DLC in 40 hours.. Bethesda said its 10-20 hour add-on.. Clearly your overdoing it.. And the quest lines are equal yet not equal in a way.. At parts you probably do the same quest you would on the other side just a different side... Something isn't worth adding up if its exactly the same except they go by another name...

Considering people pay just $5 less every month for World of WarCraft...I think it is worth it. It also adds perks to playing werewolf as well which can be fun. It is definitely worth a few playthroughs.

Will buy it when it is $10.

Strictly looking at quests and added dungeons, yeah the DLC probably takes around 20 hours to clear. However, that does not count the time taken exploring the two new perk trees (which introduce two new styles of playing) Technically, the time you spend as a vampire lord or as a werewolf using the lycantrophy perk tree, you are spending playing Dawnguard. This can easily be in excess of 40 hours (you use a Dawnguard play style to explore the original Skyrim). Plus there are new NPCs which you can converse with, you also spend more time looking around in the Soul Cairn/Volkihar Castle/Castle Dawguard which also adds to the DLC. I could go on, but the point is; the amount of time you spend with a DLC (or game for that matter) is not strictly measured in the time you spend clearing out dungeons and doing the quests.

There are a lot of references to the past games that have been dispersed throughout the game. Dawnguard is short if you bullrush into the Dawnguard's main questline. There are new mechanics, your crossbows, addition of dragon weapons, addition of arrow crafting (know that there are mods for PC, more important for PS3/Xbox 360 users and includes Dragon arrows), two factions with their own faction quest structure outside of the main questline, and your perk trees. Everything was also awesome to look at in terms of scenery, since Dawnguard adds areas in lots of different types of locale. I believe it is worth it.

So its 20 hours then.. People don't care about every detail.. When I play a game.. And I kill somebody.. But lets say you let him live and you get a ring.. I won't replay the game to get that ring.. Its so minor and not needed.. Its all about the meat of this DLC.. 85% of all players to them is 20 hours or less..
