Does Bethesda plan to release an Expansion for Skyrim?

Or will it just be DLC?

DLC stands for downloadable content, an expansion could be considered DLC if you can download via the internet.

And if Tribunal and bloodmoon were released today, they would be called DLC.

There really is no difference between DLC and expansions.

dlc and expansions are the same thing, people attempt to divide dlc into hearthfire categories and the larger dlc into expansions. But they all expand the game, and they are all downloadable so i don't see a difference

I always thought expansions added way more than DLC.

Personally I feel as if expansions offer a lot more content such as Bloodmoon or Dragonborn. There is also things like Sims 3 Ambitions and WoWs Cataclysm are also considered expansions.

Dawnguard and Knights of the Nine was just DLC in terms of content added compared too the items listed above. All these was were questlines with a few odds and ends nothing more.

As for what bethesda is actually going to do we have no idea as nothing has been announced by the company.

i think if i had to guess i'd say all the stuff besides house mods were expansions, dlc makes me think of hearthfire and such. The little stuff like armor packs in other games would be dlc because they don't expand the world any (i guess the houses add to the world, but they don't add any story)

It all falls under the DLC title if you can download it. I just call stuff like Hearthfire a plug-in while Dragonborn would be an expansion.
