I love Skyrim and I'm dying for some dlc (doctor says I've got a month or so and if no DLC comes out well I'm dead ) Seriously though I'm dying for some DLC and it has been over 3 months since the game launced (November 11 launch December 11th 1 month old, January 11th 2 months old, February 11th 3 months old so don't say it isn't 3 months) and that is a pretty decent length to wait and still not hear about any DLC other than it will be big.

I mean that is awesome in all but I want some specifics like around when It will be coming out, what we will be doing and stuff like that.

They quote with Because that gap is going to be bigger, we want to put little things out for free in between. We’ve already done that for PC with the high-res pack. We’re trying to figure out what those things are. but here in console land that doesn't really apply much to me or my peers.

So while its nice to know that it will be big can you at least tease us a bit, drop some hints outside the game (I've counted several hinted DLCs in game but they say the DLC will feel more like expansion packs which could mean they could be bundled (Falmer, Forsworn and a moot to boot (extra thought: be cheeking and for the moot and create a moot boot). If not teasing us could we get an estimentation on about when because I'm tired of hearing it will be big because that was the same thing said around launch and that was over 3 months ago so can we hear something other than it will be big.

Plus when you think of the fickleness of the gamer the longer Bethesda waits the more gamers will move on. Not me of course but they should get something out before Dragon's Dogma Launches.

Be patient, Bethesda usually take their take announcing DLC. They don't even know what they want to make yet.

At least Bethesda doesn't release 20 tiny DLCs to rake up all our money a week after the game is released like a whole bunch of other games.

I want to see how they're going to balance DLC for level 60+ players compared to new characters.

Fickleness be damned. My experience tells me the expansion pack will be better if it takes a year to make than 3 or 6 months, and I'd be willing to wait that long if it will mean significantly more content. Skyrim itself suffered from only having a 3 year development cycle.

I wonder if the DLC is going to be weapons packs a classic Bioware trick selling something that should already be in the game.

Morrowind had five years.\ and i think Oblivion had four, surrprisingly Skyrims better then Oblivion Imo of course.

I don't mind a longer development but I think it is [censored] that they don't know what they want to make yet. If that was true someone would have been fired by now. Try telling that to the board of directors when they ask you how that DLC that will make them more money is coming along and say well we just don't know after 3 months what we want to make. DLC arguably development if not planning began before Xmas and it is rather insulting to try to sell us otherwise when several events are hinted at in game already so if the decided to hint at them then they most definitly know what they want to do.

I think they are more curious as to what they are going to do beyond Skyrim if they are going to have the player reform the empire (Which would be epic) or visit the Nord Homeland or whatever? I think logically if DLC is going to follow an expansion pack feel than we will see Falmer, Forsworn, and the Moot take place in the first Expansion Pack, the second expansion pack will got to Morrowind as there is already a gate and road leading that way so it makes a logical conclusion and I think that is what they already have planned or planned out and the real question is where to go beyond that.

I'm glad this is going to expansion pack sized DLC. I've frankly missed that level of content in these times but can we at least be given a month, I'm think if we don't hear anything this month we will next month and we will see something before dragons dogma, practically would have to. I mean there was no rush with EAs Kingdom of Amalur it was clear EA was shooting holes in that ship before it even launched and even pulled a bs stunt saying there was over 200 hours in 8 days (There are only 192s if your curious) so I think Bethesda did the right thing not rushing out under pressure to say yeah we're totally doing this. Plus there was Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Square Marketed that pretty well so something in Febraury would be out of the question so I'm thinking March ether for info or Release but We'll definitly see something by April.

Yes, I'd much rather wait longer for a giant, awesome epac instead of something that only takes a couple hours to do.

When I was waiting for Skyrim, I had the opinion of "I don't care if it isn't perfect, just release it already!" which I suppose was due to having to wait nearly 6 years for it (which is due of course to the fact that Fallout 3 was done in between which is why I hope the next Fallout game goes to Obsidian to make instead of Bethesda), but I retract that statement now. I think I would rather be more patient and get a bigger world with more stuff in it. It seems time makes up for more than manpower in game design.

They're not even working on anything. They're just in the kicking around ideas phase. It will be months until we see anything I would think.

I am hoping the greatly expand the faction questlines OR since that causes conflicts introduce many new factions that make sense.

Morag Tong and Dunmer Great house remnants would be something cool to start with. Maybe stirring up trouble in the Grey quarter once the civil war questline is done.

A Thalmor faction or rather a very DIRECT anti-Thalmor faction that lets you actively roust the Thalmor out of Skyrim through covert operations. Maybe Blades related. Could be something very subtle if it is the Empire or something blatantly in their face as the Stormcloaks. Getting rid of the Thalmor altogether through an expansion would be a pathetic way of dealing with the real threat that is the Thalmor.

Expansions to the factions quest lines would be cool as an added effect while you are the Guildmaster. Letting you actually do something with that guild you saved. Separate or related plotlines as necessary. Like the Eye of Magnus for the mages guild being a possible faction expansion while the Companions would probably need a new plot to be interesting. Stuff like that.

Of course brand new content like the Shivering Isles kind of expansion which brings you to a new place is also great.

Seeing as Bethesda was forced to use 3 months to FIX a broken game, Im not supprised they havent gotten to work on any DLC. Bethesda released Skyrim even though they KNEW that PS3 users would experience huge problems.

Releasing "patches" who makes the game even worse doesnt help either aka dragons flying backwards, quests who wont start etc. And when you have to spend time fixing a patch who was supposed to fix problems...

Lucky for me i have skyrim on both pc and xbox, and as a pc gamer I have to say im happy they released a texture pack (mods are better ).

Does anyone else think the existence of somewhat topographically correct lands beyond the borders of Skyrim is placeholder for some DLC?

Red dead redemptions undead dlc was about 6 months later was it not. And I think that's the sort of size and depth I'm expecting for the skyrim dlc if they are only going to release a couple of dlc packs.

Give me Morrowind...

We already have that. Just saying.

OT : doesn't anyone like surprises anymore? Why this need to know what we are getting before it's been made. Personally, I would prefer 3 months of ignorance and a week of serious anticipation to 3 months and a week of knowing what's coming.

When people are broke they want to know what they are buying. unfortunately half the time even if they are presented with crap by a dev they like they still buy it...not that BGS is crap or anything like that its just people get blinded easily by their favorite games.

Let me put it this way then : 3 months of ignorance, followed by a week of anticipation and a two month wait for patches, or 5 months and a week knowing what you are getting before it's reviewed and working correctly.

I read in a Kotaku article that DLC for Skyrim is in early development stages, and they plan to not just add things to the game but optimize and improve it. Todd said in this interview with Kotaku that they will be adding big 'expansion' type DLC as well as some possibly free smaller dlc.

EDIT: Found the link for the article.

I Like surprises which is why I'm saying I'm ready to be surprised.

I know. I love modding minecraft but unfortunately I'm opperating on a 32 bit system (top of the line Crysis playing bohemoth!) so I can't play Skyrim on the computer but yeah mods are awesome. My brother is stuck in a simular situation and he wishes he got it for the computer so he could have access to the mods.

I'm kinda hoping that they'll put the DLCs together on some sort of Game CD because I wont be able to download them from Xbox Live. That is what i'm more worried about, idc about waiting.

I agree completely, it's either a cakewalk for high levels or impossible for newbs methinks

*cough* Dragon Ages.

Or just make the DLC Leveled?
