DLC OR PATCH : V - Skyrim

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 10:15 am

All I want is a patch to fix the main quest in Dawnguard. I cannot advance in the quest because of all the glitches and bugs, and Im dying to play. Anyone hear anything on when 1.8 will come out?

wow games been out for just over a month and you're wanting another dlc?

WTF are you talking about Skyrim is reaching the 1 year mark (yeah DG has been out for about a month or two for xbox) but all previous Bethesda games had most if not all their DLC out by this point ... and come September new games are coming out (ie Borderlands 2 in September AC 3 in October and many other releases up until the holidays) and interest in Skyrim will wain in favor of the new games

I smell a few more patches, and then a DLC pack or expansion. And my sense of smell is deadly accurate. But Dawnguard comes to the PS3 people before the pack/expansion. Forgot about that fiasco for a second there.

PS3 has had so many problems with Bethesda games in the past I'm surprised they even did Skyrim for PS3 ... and seeing how that went I'll be even more surprised if Fallout 4 is also on the PS3 ...

Um, since when has "all" the DLC been out for a prior Bethesda title by this point?

As I recall, Shivering Isles came out a full year after Oblivion. Same with Bloodmoon. Going by previous games, Dawnguard came out in an expected time window, and we can probably expect another DLC by the end of the year.

I said most if not all and we're coming up on a full year for Skyrim. But Fallout 3 had ALL 5 of its DLC in less than a year (FO3 released October 28, 2008 FO3 GOTY October 13, 2009)

Yes Morrowind took 1 full year for 2 DLC and so did Oblivion for its 2 major DLC but it also had a ton of other add-ons (not counting Horse Armor but Mehrunes' Razor and the multitude of player housing options with quests) that kept people interested til SI.
