Maybe Bethesda are aminig for Hearhtfire to release in the Hearthfire month (september) if it's already in the store. Maybe they were working on it simultaneously with dawnguard and that's why it appears to be nearing it's release date. Obviously though it could be a small dlc.

Yeah I think you are right on that. I don't really expect to see a full blown expansion type DLC until either closer to Christmas time or later next year. Really hope they do get round to making a Bloodmoon/SI type expansion pack for Skyrim soon. One of the reason I did not get Dawnguard is because I am waiting for a GOTY/Ultimate edition of the game. I hope that there will be at least one full new area expansion.

interesting

actually, this is rather uninteresting. but if its shows up on Xbox live then i guess its close to finnised, could it be that the worked on bothe DLC's at the same time?

I would say that there will almost definitely be a full new area in the future. However, it may be well into next year before it's released.

what makes you think that? look at fallout 3, they said they would follow that model

OB and MW. They both had smaller dlcs then a much larger one. Bloodmoon for MW and Shivering isles for OB. Dawnguard isn't a big dlc so I expect a big dlc in 2013.

unsure if im allowed to say this, but was there not a certain snippet of information regarding hearthfire? about being able to create your own house?

some "prophet" claimed to have that information from some reliable sources, don't believe any of it

One of things I would like to see would be something involved with the College of Winterhold. I was never satisfied with the College's questline and something more to it then asking the librarian where I could find a Moth Priest would be more interesting.

Exploring new realms of Oblivion would be neat to see as well. In the Elder Scrolls series I've been in the Deadlands of Mehrunes Dagon, and the Soul Cairn (though I'm sure there have been others in the series since all I've played is Skyrim and Oblivion). If there have been other appearances of other planes then I would like to revisit those at some point.

A continuation with the Civil War would be nice. I didn't feel that the war just simply ended with all of those Stormcloak/Imperial camps left all over the place. Maybe a siege would be a cool thing to do, working a siege engine or storming the walls via ladders and towers would be so cool to see.

I might've missed something cooler in previous posts, but either way, those are somethings I would like to see.

Hear, hear!

Some other ideas:
1. Upon completion of the civil war, the winning faction should give the DB the assignment of 'cleaning up the house.' Every single bandit lair, vamp lair, witche's lair and necromancer's lair needs to be CLEANSED. All giants need to be STOMPED. Anyone and anything that interferes with the regular flow of people and commerce along the roads and major paths of Skyrim needs to be permanently dealt with, including Labyrinthian.
2. By definition, #1 above includes dealing a 'final solution' on the Forsworn.
3. There may also need to be a campaign to suppress the falmer, who are clearly starting to raid on the surface and infiltrate surface structures from below.
4. The Thalmor will most assuredly interfere, as a weak, hobbled and divided skyrim is to their advantage. Thus, the thalmor will have a major role to play in this 'sterilization' campaign and will need to be dealt with effectively.
5. Perhaps one of the daedra might serve as the center of an alternate 'faction' that wants to disrupt or prevent this 'sterilization' campaign. Could make for a fascinating twist.
6. I wonder what the dragons would have to say about all this? Another interesting twist...........

The above would provide perhaps 50-100 hours of new content on the existing map. That would be very, very cool, and less of a development problem for Bethesda than introducing additions to the map.

I am so tired of lame Thalmor and lame dragons and lame Civil War! I want Hircine's Hunting Grounds and to eat people in the glories of the hunt using a spear!

How are you going to eat people in werewolf form, and hunt them with a spear at the same time?

But I get your point, and agree no lame Thalmor, that is perfect for the next game, dragons are more boring than a mudcrab, I would honestly rather see a mudcrab DLC over anything dragon related, and the Civil War is over, why do we need a DLC based on it?

I agree, and i believe that's what we are getting

+1 for spears! The spear-attack-animations in the Game Jam video already looked amazing and got me hyped for some spear action

I wish to see a small addon for Dawnguard which turns the order to hunt werewolves when we have dealt with the vampires.

Well I can say what I don't want to see in the next DLC.

• Another beast/monster form with 1st person and a new perk tree.
  
• The MQ to be another save Skyrim or we are all doomed theme.
  
• Serana to feature in it again. (be nice to just have her as a follower in it and that's all)

What I would like to see is if we have opposing factions again that there is a little more depth or interactions with the opposing side, i.e. I played on vamp side of dawngaurd and only saw Isran twice, once at the start and once when I killed him.

there are a ton of stuff you guys can add, and i dont see why you dont.

1. add alot more weapons, armor, and accessories. You can make really rare stuff that is really difficult to obtain.
2.more ingredients, metals, etc.
3. why not chop down trees? build a house that would be really fun to create your own house that u can do by activating a workbench. you can add more creatures like why not sheep or pigs. there should be tons of those since its not like civilization today. Why not allow people to make their own farm, or their own business... that would be fun. i know the game is about fighting but when you beat the main quest what else it there to do:/ besides small other quest that most of them aren't exciting.
4.why can't we choose the horse we want to buy? it isn't so hard to make a drop down menu when u click on "buy horse"....
5. more creatures to fight. add LEGENDARY creatures like a amphisbaena; a two headed serpent. here is a list
-centaur: put him in the forest. the forest should be made like more suspense and bigger
-minotaur
-why not have a big ocean... u can add a aspidocelon; a huge whale like creature with a shell and a snake like head... you can fight it by getting shipmates and getting a ship. haha that would be COOL!
-what about a mermaid.
-add some regular snakes like pythons and stuff. poisonous snakes would be difficult haha
-what happen to the unicorn... it was in oblivion
there is A LOT MORE!
why cant we choose like a certain kind of thing like, idk templar? or something like that.
skyrim is a really fun game but gets boring up to a point. adding stuff is fun. cause once u beat dawngaurd then its going to get boring again. make different weapon designs like voldendrung, it was also in oblivion im sure but that was cool. make the weapons weird and not just like a blade... get some more legendary like bows... why not add a DLC where u go into the daedric worlds and explore sneak or fight the prince or princess. this may seem like alot but its not and you should aslo add more land features... make the map BIGGER! why cant u add the maps from oblivion and morrowind... alot more stuff to venture through! these game improvements would be really good to have.

Challenging a Daedric Prince on its home turf seems to be a very painful way of committing suicide.

"Final solution for the forsworn"!? - I know building your own house has been mentioned but building your own death camp!? I really don't think so. That would DEFINATELY fail cert in Europe.

I want a necromancer faction that I can join. I want more necromancer's items. I want the corpses I turn into zombies to actually look like zombies and be zombies.

Example, right now if you create a zombie bandit, it is just a bandit, weak and pathetic. If you turn a bandit into a zombie it should become a zombie with new zombie stats, etc.
relevant to your skill in necromancy. Which means there should be a seperate necromancy skill and perk tree.

However, if the zombies remain as is, I need to be able to give my dead thralls the armor and weapons that I want them to use and wear just like followers.

Also, on a seperate note, I would like to be able to have dead animal thralls and not just dead humanoid thralls.

i agree the college of winterhold is my favorite location but is too empty and worn-down i think u should be able to restore it of some sort and bring in more members for the college and 3 apprentices shooting at walls really building a training ground would be nice, and help the college prove to the nords that they can trust magic

About Hearthfire...

Okay listen here.. In Hearthfire there is a holiday that is all about the Necromancers.. So what if a group of Necromancer would be all like "***** this man! We should do something great today!" so then they like bring back a powerful Necromancer from the dead as a Lich on this holiday and this Lich will be all like "Argh.. I'm back but I need to rest!" so he rests for awhile until he finally decides to get to his plans... Then he goes all like "I want the power!" and resurrects a lot of different dead things, making an army of zombies, then like attack a town in Skyrim.. Then the Dragonborn will be all like "Oh no you didn't!" then the Dragonborn will like hunt down this Lich and the Lich will be all like "Fear my magic!" while the Dragonborn be all like "NO! Fear my magic!" and they have an epic battle right there and eventually the Lich will die and the zombies will be all like "Bugger dude..." and die...Also, the Dragonborn will like build an awesome house then like steal the Lich's Necro abilities and make like awesome skeleton butlers to like idk do all of the Dragonborn's work.

What I want is for my game to be playable..Ever since the latest update my game has been crashing and freezing....[censored] you Bethesda

It might not be Beth's fault but something else.. Cause everything is running fine for me, and everybody I know...
