Skyrim and Expansion/DLC

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 3:17 am

or they can treat it like oblivion and give us a $30 expansion that was roughly 1/3 the size of the main province (minus dungeons and such)

two dragonborns just doesnt work.co-op defeats the whole point of tes, with the player as the hero destined to save the world; there's just no room for co-op in that model. all the quests are also created for single player so co-op would recquire totally altering the game. an arena feature might be ok, but its really not worth it. There are plenty of mmorpgs-skyrim doesnt have to be one of them.

As I said in another thread, I would like to see a DLC where you can kick the Thalmor out of Tamriel and restore glory to the Empire.


Or help them :)

Co-Op would be nice, but I prefer more content over that, and by new options for character appearance, you mean like a barber? If so, then yes. But overall, the third one gets my vote.

I'd pay $60 for Morrowind/Bloodmoon/Tribunal remade with the Skyrim engine. Afterall, it is the trendy thing to do right now.

How about they just add something to the opening quest where, before you go to leave Helgen Keep and enter the world, it asks you if you want to change anything about your character? Oblivion had this at the end of the sewers, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who always kept a save file for that spot so that if I wanted to start a new character, I would have to go through the entire quest again...

As for DLC.... MORE SHEOGORATH!!!! Shivering Isles Part 2, yes please :)

"A whole new area to explore with a new plot."

This is what we're going to get, so I may as well vote for it.

There will never be coop; the game flat out isn't designed for it, and they're not going to rewrite the engine for a DLC. And making people pay for character creation options would be a worse idea than Oblivion's Horse Armor.

For all those who are playing on PC you can still Change Appearance by opening console and type: showracemenu

I been doing this from times to times just to improve my character or just to change her hairstyle.

Has anyone reviewed some of the interviews the developers have provided? They have stated that they are focusing on the players experience, and that the DLC is going to be less in the quantity of releases, but will be more substantial in quality and size of the DLC. I have heard the rumors of a return to Morrowind and possibly Oblivion, but these are just that, rumors. Until I hear something from BETHESDA in relation to the DLC's to be released in the future, I will put forward my own thoughts on what I would like to see in the future updates and DLC.

Honestly, I would not mind having the ability to join a friend online for some questing and overall exploration as the NPC companions tend to get in the way and cause more problems than they are worth most of the time, but I'm not too fussy about it.

I would like to see some additions to the Smithing aspect in regards to creativity. If I have a bear/wolf/fox ect. (pelt), why not allow me to use it for cosmetic decoration of my armour? Or allow the finding of crests and such to add some personal touches, trademark, to my craft? There definitely does need to be more adverse appearances in the armours of Skyrim.

I would also like the ability to build a home/hold anywhere in the open world of Skyrim of my own design. I mean to provide design options where you can add rooms and structure appearance to your own imagination given what options are provided to you. Or even to build a home in the world and have NPC's recognize you for who/what you are and request to live near by which begins the process of establishing a new settlement. It's an idea, that is all.

I think an interesting DLC would be to involve what had taken place during the Great War and how Cyrodil has changed as a result. I would like to explore the Cyrodil of 200 years after the Oblivion Crisis and the Great War. I will have to give this some further consideration to at least explore the possibilities further.

These are brief ideas of some things that would add to my experience.

*Sigh* Why don't people get it?

TES is a singleplayer game and it always will be.

*Sigh* Why do people [censored] so much when people ask about MP? if it bothers so much such request then dont comment it... it may never ever be done, but if a slight ray of hope evershines you all anti-socials can still stay away from such option and can still play "Forever Alone".

I hate playing with people. I want to do things at my own pace in my own way and I don't want to deal with other humans when I'm gaming. Were that all games had good AI's, I could sustain this preference of mine.

I play for plot and epic story.

I do not play to dress up my character.

Shivering Isles is content, that you can download. Therefore, it's DLC. But it is also an expansion pack. It's a pack that expands the game.

I dont want more than 2 players that would ruin the whole game, just the option to connect with one Steam Friend and having him/her be my patner instead of one of those annoying partners... i think it would be so damn awsome too to invite your best friend with his own char and bash some Orcs or Dragons together... so why not? who does not want to play with a friend and share adventures?

Me for one, I love this game for what it is. Dead against going down the co-op road and wish people would stop asking for it

I love the idea of being able to build your home anywhere out there in Skyrim, leading to perhaps other traders or travellers passing through may want to pitch up and trade goods perhaps you could invest in whares and thus encourage them to make a small settlement.

And of course as it would be outside any city walls then prosperity of the area would be down to you.

If they can manage to add Cyrodiil, Morrowind and Summerset Island and maaaybe Hammerfell it would be the most kick ass thing ever... going back and forth from Cyrodiil to Morrowind and to Skyrim, just awsome.
