Can't believe I was hyped enough to think that Bugthesda would actually care about PS3 owners

This^ I'm just as excited to download DLC as the night I was standing in line with my friends at the midnight release.

Ehh, not really.

"Cool, gamesas is coming out with anoter ES game!" That was pretty much the hype for me.

Don't think i've ever been let down. Then again, I tend to buy games rarely, and have regretted a purchase decision exactly three times (Once with Two Worlds, once with ME3 [since I have it for the 360], and once with a forgettable Japanese Mech fighting game.)

Anyway, I usually don't hear much about what new game is out or coming out, so i don't fall into the Hype Machine as much as others.

--EDIT--

Taking ME3 off that list. Looks like they did some tweaking so that you can get the best ending without going into Multiplayer (though you still need to earn it; not a problem.) Just going to need to pour more money for DLCs, lol.

No, because I learned my lesson with Oblivion. I got way too excited before Oblivion came out and it disappointed me greatly. This time I imposed a media blackout on myself. I didn't read any interviews or articles about the game, I didn't watch any promo videos, and I rarely came to this forum. On 11/11/11 I probably knew less about Skyrim than anybody on this forum. And I was not disappointed by the game.

I plan to do the same thing in the years and months before Fallout 4 and TES VI come out too.

I get the impession that Bethesda may have put the civil war structured as it is into the game to test the water. As quests go it doesn''t seem to be really very intricate or complicated as you would expect from something as complex as a civil war. It has of course generated huge ammounts of interest and discussion amongst the fans of Skyrim and I feel pretty certain this will lead to something major relevent to it in the future, beit a large DLC for Skyrim or extensive content in TES VI. I'm sure many players seek some sort of realistic closure to the civil war and the developers would be surely unwise to ignore that.

I'm rather pleased with how Skyrim turned out. Sure it could have been better given more time, but it is still one of the best games I have ever played.

As long as Bethesda takes their time and avoids doing a 11/11/11 again everything will be great.

Yeah, I was beyond hyped for this game. I loved it at first, but then when I started to notice the short comings in the guilds and civil war, I was really disappointed. Then I gradually started to play it and started liking it again. Although, to be honest, I think Skyrim could have been a lot better if it were delayed by a year, (I feel the same way about Mass Effect 3, tbh)

Although, I think it's taught me a valuable lesson, I think I can enjoy things more when I don't get hyped up for them.

I think they cut most of the civil war because it was taking over the game. The driving force is supposed to be the main quest, not whatever else is going on in the province.

1. I consider the Civil War to be the second main quest
2.The Driving force isn't the main quest, in fact, the whole attraction of TES is that there is very little emphasis on the main quest
3. Adding depth to an optional storyline is never a bad thing, the only reason not to do it is time restrictions.

That is how I feel also. I'm just stating, from what I've read, what I think Bethesda's motivation was when the 'shrunk' the civil war.
