Hm....I'm a little worried about the "*New* DLC"statement but this is good news nonetheless.
In regards to the DLC menu/button discussion (although I doubt it still has relevance) in the former thread:I don't have it either.The booklet mentions only the standard opinions (like new game,credits etcetera).

does anyone else think the dlc is going to make the game worse than fallout new Vegas ultimate edition? I think so they fixed it way to fast it took them what 7 months to release the fallout 3 dlc's and those had tons of lag and froze every 10 minutes

I have no problem with the data gathering that Sony and other distributors conduct but I will not be used by Bethesda (after perhaps being charged) so that they can decide if they can weather the firestorm if they release the main DLC sets and it doesn't work 100% for every PS3 user. We might face a point where all DLC is released on PS3 but it only works on 60% of PS3 installs, following their test case (this new DLC). It's called managing Acceptable Losses.

Note: I'm not saying this will happen but I don't put anything past probably one of the most underhand and untrustworthy developers on my system.

for all those that were waiting on the evidence - apologies for the delay but twitter hates me today

For those who have no clue what I'm on about ... just ignore me

Im more excited for Dragonborn now. It looks alot better than Dawnguard and the story itself seems more interesting. It would be really cool if Beth desided to release Dragonborn with Dawnguard when it comes out.

I don't want to ignore you....I want ignore that stupid priest in Whiterun, if I don't I may kill him. wait I already have just for fun silly me

Can only speak for me, but my Shadowmeres have been disappearing ALOT since installing 1.6/.7 patch.


Sorry, as good a step as yesterday was, this situation has gone past the point where 'nitpicking' is considered bad form. You don't like seeing it? Nothing making you hang out in the quarantine thread is there?


Thanks for the the pics. Very interesting.

Very interesting, indeed.

Well, I guess there is a first time for everything. Releasing broken DLC that would render the base game unplayable has never stopped Bethesda before. Just ask my little Fallout: New Vegas courier that cannot ever leave the sink without a console crashing freeze. There is only so much I can talk to that damn toaster before I get really bored...

This does not really make me that excited. In fact I think many of you are being a bit gullible and naive. Perhaps I am just too much of a cynic. They offer no real data, no explanation, no apology, and they even tell us they are not getting into the specifics? Well that does not appease me. My boycott of Bethesda has not been changed and I see no reason to suddenly ease up on them and change the tone of exasperation and anger to one of begrudging acceptance. We are the customers after all, they should be held accountable for their blatant disrespect of us. The PS3 users have been marginalised and we are expected to be happy with some tweets? No. That doesn't do it. I expect an apology, a real actual press release in which Bethesda show some humility and shame for their behaviour. I would be more than happy to forgive them EVEN if we never get content as long as they would just be open and honest with us. It is shameful. Utterly and despicably shameful.

You bet your hiney we are nitpicking. And we are not going to stop until Bethesda delivers the product that they warranted to purchasers of the game for PS3, and live up to the express and implied warranties and promises that they have made about DLC for the PS3, or until we all organize this into a formal legal response.

Also, Gameguru, I saw one of your earlier posts about opening the software and that it means you can only "get a refund" if there is something wrong with the disc; I don't know what you do for a living, but it clearly doesn't involve the sale of goods or the legal aspects of such transactions. You could not be more wrong. They are completely liable for all express and implied warranties related to CONTENT.

On the recent news for DLC for PS3, color me unphased. If it isn't spelled out in writing, it didn't happen. Nothing we have been told in the last several months amounts to anything more than "puffery," and you can all bet your Elsweyr Fondue that Bethesda's legal folks have put out clear memos on what can be said and cannot be said; hence the wall of silence...

They never guaranteed us a DLC, and so can not be held liable.
Best we can do is stay positive and try not to be so narcissistic.

xD yep.

Highly debatable, to say the very least.

I swear if Bethesda would focus on upping their game even half as much as some of their defenders focus on defending them(unnecessarily i might add), they would be unstoppable.

Even if they do release DLC for the PS3 console, something tells me their sales for the first week will be "slightly lackluster."

From what I've read on the forums here, only the few, the trusting, and the naive are going to line up first to purchase anything. Many of us know what DLC does to Bethesda titles on the PS3 and we will not fall for that again. If/when they release DLC for the PS3, I doubt they will see any real sales for about a month to two months because most of us will be waiting on the guinea pigs and review sites to find out if the DLC will make our base game even worse. Some of us may even wait for the inevitable GOTY version to hit the used bins before we buy anything. Put me in that category.

Back down the negativity track the community goes....

Personally, i'm more taking a ride on the 'very,very,very, cautiously optimistic' line myself.

Well, did the comments and tweets really say anything? It's like when a terror alert states that "something will happen sometime somewhere."
All they have said has been "content." "Content" could be anything from a full blown DLC/expansion pack that equals the size of an entirely new game to a few more forks scattered on some tables along with embalming tools and three hawks. In theory, PS3 users have already received new "content" in the form of annoying kill cams and mounted combat. Great, that was a whole bunch of nothing.

Not to mention, as I've said above, many of us have walked down this primrose path before and got whacked by the troll at the end of it. One cannot blame us for being extremely cynical at this point, especially considering the lies spoken by Hines that got us to buy the game in the first place. I really hope I am pleasantly surprised and forced to say "I was wrong. Good job Bethesda!", but I'm not holding my breath for it.

Better then the bitter roller coaster some are still riding, at least this community is not has as brutal as the FF community.

LMAO. where you think i got my even keel son?

i ansolutely agree with you.
funny how easy it is for bethesda to get everyone excited, even after all this. the things they said regarding "new contend" for ps3 sound like it could be a negative surprise in the end. it's strange they didn't mention DG or HF or DB.
besides they are still not communicating openly, it still feels like they are tacticing and hiding something.
we'll see. i hope they get it right this time, but i will only believe it when i see it.

Tweet said to that's it's something neither PS3 or PC have yet and there is only two things I can think of that PS3 don't have and one nobody has.

Perhaps it'll be released on 11/11/12

At this late (and getting later) stage of the game (pardon the pun) I'm inclined to wait for the GOTY anyway - if DG and DB DLC is ￡16 a pop plus ￡5 for HF then that's ￡37 - GOTY is only likely to be ￡40 new out the box.

Colour me cynical but I expect we'll only see all PS3 add-ons available with the GOTY anyway, if at all - I've played this game with Bethesda before

Regardless of the content itself, I say thank you for the communication.

That's the bigger issue than the actual content.
