OMG , the game jam video was epic , can't wait to see what they have planned for Skyrim .

*Wants a skeleton butler in a house I built myself *

These are things developed by staff after the game was completed, its also things they personally wanted to see in game which is much different to the entire dev process of choosing what gets cut and not. Just because they can create plugins like these in a week, does not necessarily mean they could intergrate and balance it properly into the main game along side every other feature which needs to be added.

I'm worried about the "it will be finished in a week" part. It's exactly the same as "It will be released on 11.11.11", and considering the many bugs, unfinished quest lines and lack of consequences in the game it didn't really turn out well. Meh, guess I'll do the same as I did when buying Skyrim: I'll wait for opinions to flood the forums, decide whether I'll buy it based on that, and wait with playing it until most of the bugs are solved.

Of course, if it turns out it'll only contain a few things, like the "fantastic" Horse armor dlc for Oblivion, no way I'll waste any money on it.

SPEARS!!! Did someone say SPEARS???

Please, please tell me that lychanthropy perk tree and werebear will be DLC? And that vampire form. And that mounted combat. And those spears.

I'm salivating like crazy over here.

Some of that stuff better be free.

I put this in another thread already but anyway:

I'm all for constructive critisism. But meh, this gives me a bad taste. Seasonal foliage, footprints on snow, SSAO, spears, mounted combat, arrows with effects, too much to mention, much of that stuff should and could have made it into the game at release. Bethesda, imho you really need to re-think your creative processes, you aren't using your creative abilities to the fullest.

To me that JAM stuff just shows what more Beth could have made from Skyrim if they'd taken a little more time, and/or if they'd reorganize their creative process. But alright: now I'm hoping for either DLC or mods to add all this.

Soooo, when can we download these Beth made mods from Steamworks?

If only...

they're the lycanthrope that is native to skyrim

plus i hope if this is going to be expantion/dlc stuff that they make lycanthropes creatures you encounter in the wild and other high level creatures more prevalent at night

Where did you get that from ?

I remember Todd saying in an interview more than half a year ago that they DID made spears,mounted combat etc,but decided to not include them because they wouldn't fit the gameplay style/balance he wanted the game to have.
They would "steal the spotlight".

My responce if this ever comes to X-box 360 as DLC:

Incredible cool ideas. Very nice to see the devs get freedom to show their own desires towards the game.

I wonder how the devs , sometimes, can cope with all the negativity and ruddiness from a lot of people who doesnt understand how the game industry or developing works. Almost everyone seems to know how the game would be better and feel like the devs has no idea and leave all the work to the modders, how delusional. instead of looking always whats not there or whats bugged, look at what its there.. I bet you the list will be 10000 bigger as the bug list. Nothing its perfect, and surely nothing that huge as Skyrim.

If you dont know how it looks behind the doors, stop then judging about it.

And looking fowards to see some of this great features coming to the world of skyrim. Personally I loved the Dragon Mount one.

Werebears, vampire finishers, house making and Lycanthropy perk tree are my favorite.

But I think all these features should be added because most of them are amazing.

Sorry to be a buzz kill here but why where some of these things not thought up during the initial development cycle?

Also I would hope this stuff is put in through patches rather than paid DLC.

I won't mind paying for content like knights of the nine, but game engine improvements like seasonal weather? Sorry but I'm not paying for something that should have been considered in the developement cycle at the start.

That Mudcrab battle is exactly what Skyrim lacks... Big, insane boss battles that require more skill/tactics.............. Dragons should have been something like that, but they are instead the new Cliff Racers...

Everything in that show reel was DLC worthy, and if they don't add any of it i will be incredibly dissapointed .____________.

P.S: 5 years you had to develop, yet you miss out on all these things *most being what people asked for*.... Why?.... Why?!!

Bastardos.

Who cares if it was made during or after, the fact is, i want it all. You hear me Bethesda? except child adoption, i care little for that.

I think what they should do is just let those people release what they did as a mod onto the workshop. I mean after all they are individual people so there wouldn't be any legal problems with letting them make mods changing things with the game. I especially liked the giant crab and the water flow mods.

Yeah, I think it would be cool if the next ES game, or an expansion for Skyrim, could have some big, super tough creatures as special encounters.

OMG

Will be sad if like everything in the part where the free creation week isnt made into DLC

They certainly would know this would send fans into a buzz, it would make them look bad now that we know and if they didnt release some of it. Certainly is a good way to stir up publicity for new content, especailly if they intend to sell it. Wondering if they are testing the waters aswell to see how popular it would be.

I might have missed something, but I though the point the video was making was that they could put anything into the game, just not everything. So I don't understand the pople who are stomping around with their "this should have been in the original!".

If these are teasers of what might be in future releases for the game, brilliant, I can't wait. But I imagine there's a bit more testing and stuff to be done beyond the few seconds set piece we saw for eash thing in the video.

Steal the spotlight my [censored], they'll try and flog them those gullible enough to pay for DLCs containing features stripped from the main game or that should have been considered as part of the main development cycle rather than part of "crazy week".

OT:
One of the reasons why I like the MMO community is that they don't let the companies get away with it, esp the WoW playerbase.

The last time Blizzard tried it they tried to flog a "premium service" called the Real ID Party Feature. It allowed you to invite people on your Real ID friends list (friend list for all blizzard games based on your email address) into your dungeons when they are on a different server.

As soon as they announced it they had a massive burst of outrage from a large number of people telling them they would have to explain to their shareholders a massive drop in profit from all the people who unsubbed.

Blizzard included it as a free patch feature soon after.


For me its because some of the things like mounted combat, spears, SSAO should have been no brainers and should have been considered and approved during the main development cycle.

Oblivion had a mounted combat Mod, SSAO was added to Oblivion through mods and SSAO should be part of ANY modern game, and spears have been request for YEARS.

double post.

That's pretty much how it works. These features were made in a hurry and without much testing, just for fun and to exercise their creativity. But, if people storm them with requests, they may work on some of these features and add them in a future DLC.
