Wasn't the point of SI being "alien mushroom world", to cater to the people who couldn't leave MW behind, and demanded alien mushrooms? Which (in Skyrim) is fulfilled by Blackreach?

Makes me think the odds of a "weird/alien" expansion is kind of low.



(that said, an expansion with a new landmass - like several of the MW & FO3 dlc - wouldn't be a bad thing. Doesn't have to be weird/alien, though - that was Morrowind's - retreaded in SI & Blackreach - schtick.)

It's a Snoop, yet it is a lion. I think it ties together perfectly the ideal I wish to represent, a fluid environment that crosses a medieval high fantasy environment with the modern-day facets of life such as tedious chores and 9-5 jobs so you can support a wife who is a carbon copy of other women. It is the American dream, in England Albion Tamriel!

See, you get me. Giant mushrooms.

I meant a well made High Rock expansion , anyway the two last days I've been working on a drawing of my dream places.
Take a look ( it's not completely finished yet , but looks good ! )

Cowbell! Skyrim needs more cowbell!

Oh, i like it. are you good at concept art as well?

I totally disagree. The games before Morrowind such as Daggerfall and Redguard didn't have that high fantasy. We have a yet another alien realm like Blackreach in the new Dawnguard dlc.

Its not the alien world as this guy explains very well

worlds can be too alien. What we need is a world we believe in and relate to. Things such as medieval looking buildings, Roman looking legions, Asiatic mer etc are all things also needed. What we need then is to become pulled into the world and for them to then mix it with a blend of higher fantasy and imagination. Too much alien stuff pulls us out of believing it or relating to it. What we need is a mix.

Skyrim is great. Any expansion for it just needs to be expanded upon & pushed into greater depth of lore and imagination. Bloodmoon expansion on Morrowind wasn't all high fantasy. Shivering Isles is nothing on Morrowind. Shivering Isles was believable off the back of Oblivion's reality. What we needs is a greater mix of fantasy crossed with reality in the normal realm. That is the age old rule as seen throughout folklore and mythology. Make it too far from the truth and it become a kids cartoon.

As much as we'd love to get our hands on a DLC like Shivering Isles, I'm not sure if Bethesda will do it. Many developers create small DLC packs which sell for up to $10 and people buy them up. People may not want to buy a DLC if it costs as much as the game itself (I would though). Its very tempting for developers to make DLC packs which bring in lots of money with the least amount of work.

I hope to see true expansion packs for Skyrim. Bethesda's reputation soared to new heights with Oblivion and the Shivering Isles expansion was award winning. I hope Bethesda will make something to get the attention of the gaming industry and raise the bar for what a good DLC pack is suppose to be.

Worst DLC ever was for Sims 3 on Xbox Live. Buy a set of furniture for a sim's bedroom for $10!? Inexcusable. You already had a couple dozen to choose from.

From what I see it doesn't work as it just sends people's loyalty away from the game. Even on future releases.

I'd like to see a trip across the border back into Morrowind. I want to see those little Chinese looking Dunmer gondolier people like we saw in Vivec city & the type of Dunmer buildings we saw in Ald-Ruhn, Maar Gan & Gnisis.
