I remember reading somewhere they said they only had plans for three. Maybe they will do more.

I'm gunning for three, one is Dawnguard, a Thalmor related DLC and maybe a Daedric one too. Who knows what Bethesda will treat us with.

I HOPE ONE EVERY 3 - 6 MONTHS untill the next Elder Scrolls ...

Bethesda recently trademarked "Hearthfire" as downloadable game software, so thats probably number 2. Although I'm stoked for Dawnguard, I was hoping for something a little more fresh and new than vampires.

My guess would be at least three to four Expansion packs will be available.

Not likely, it is more plausible that they will release DLC for skyrim until Fallout 4 (and I can't wait for it ) comes out, and then they will release DLC for FO4 until the next tes.

Hoping for three, would love to see a follow up to the civil war questline. I really liked the thalmor, killing them i mean and all the lore surrounding the civil war.

By that you mean a FO:NV thing?

This is off-topic, but what is your avatar called/where is it from? I recognize it but I can't remember from what game and it's driving me crazy.

I'd guess three. But they said they'd have updates containing small bonus content (I guess you could say) as well as the expansion packs.

It has been speculated to be smaller than SI, b/c it is $20 while SI was $30

Somewhere, they said three dlc. Dawnguards the first, Hearthfire is probably the second.

I just dont think that 5 is a very plausible number. Mor like 3-4 is my guesstimate. Although, who knows?

The more we buy the dlc and the more we shout for new ones, then the more chance we have. Beth can't make them unless we buy them. I think Beth do try to give the fans what they want. They are good like that. They aren't just out for the money like many as they've proved their sales worth. I think their goal now is to keep the fans where they've got them. That's why they don'y try to give us cheap money spinning gimmick dlc like other companies have tried as they know that just looses the loyalty of many.

I have also heard a rumour that the final peice of dlc is Riders of Hamerfell. I kinda doubt it though.

Personally, I'm expecting around three.

Fallout 3 had 5.

I think only 2. The dlc's will have alot more content than the ones for fallout 3 did. The only reason I would like to see more dlc's is to see different environments, but if the environments will be similar to the normal skyrim then I would prefer less downloads with more content.

I think we'll get Three DLC/expansions. Four on the most optimistic estimate. Any more than that, projecting an 8month Development cycle for each, and you overlap with the next-gen consoles, Durango and Orbiz, of which I wouldn't bet against Fallout 4 being a launch title for the nextgens. (Namely Microsoft's Project Durango).


Two is all but confirmed. The Trademark for Hearthfire (Specifically "Hearth Fire", with a space) was put up the same way as Dawnguard.

It's also important to remember, Skyrim has unprecedented support, both by the community and the developers. The unexpected overwhelming success of Skyrim means that it's not unlikely original post-release content projections were expanded to make the best of the situation at hand.

I want at LEAST 3.

Dwemer/Snow Elf DLC

Thalmor DLC

Daedric DLC/ Vampires and Werewolfs-Dawnguard

the problem isnt about how many dlcs beth releases. It is about whether they are worth the money.
I could have only 1 dlc for $50 but if the dlc is awesome, it is worth it.
Nobody would want to pay $20 for dawnguard if its like that knights of the nine add on...

Yeah, but they were also smaller.

The Skyrim DLCs will supposingly be a bit larger, which probably also means there will be fewer of them. I'm guessing at 3 myself, but I think 4 is possible too.

I liked Knight's of the Nine, but it was only ten bucks. Back then, Bethesda was also experimenting with pricing structures as well. That's why we had the infamous Horse Armor. They didn't really know what was appropriate, and what people would pay for DLC's. Honestly, nobody did, the Xbox360 was literally in its infancy.

Now that they have a much better understanding of how to work DLC into the platforms, costs, revenue potential and other business savvy goodies, They're in a better position to price their DLC appropriately.

For all they learned, and how much larger the install base of Skyrim is, $20.00 for the DLC, when Shivering Isles was $30.00, combined with many other facts (Team Size, Development Cycle, etc) Dawnguard could be as large, content-wise, as Shivering Isles. I'm mostly saying it's not necessarily telling that it will be smaller, based on price alone.

3 Then sounds more likely.

I hope for 3 nice sized expansions, but I would be happy with 2 if they were huge. I do know they said they want to do less than Fallout 3, but have more content in them which is great I think. I also would like the Dwemer to be involved somehow in one of them.
