The issue I am having right now is NOT if the DLC is releasing or not, it is Bethesda themselves made all the hype, now they need to deliver on the hype THEY created. If they had kept quiet there would be less mess but THEY started this mess becuase they wanted the hype.

That's hardly true. Many games have had change because the demand was simply so vocal, despite most of it being less intelligent than a rock.

ha what a joke...did you see that vid where the team was given a week to add what they want to the game? In 1 week they added/changed so much that they even wrote "imagine if we worked like that every week"?
It's been months since release, if they worked as hard fixing bugs and creating dlc as they did in that 1 week, skyrim would be perfect by now. They dont because their cash cow is still producing milk so rather then focus on fixing bugs and pleasing fans, they're working on their next money maker

Beth needs to return to its poor righteous roots and stop being so greedy...steam and other valve deals only make things worse for us

Just like Broken Steel for FO3...

well said.

truthefulkly id rather just know the date , if anything, and not the content until release so when i buy it, im fairly surprised. that sense of wonder

i hope when bethesda annouces it, they simply give it a tittle, and if it has small features that gives nothing away to story, id be happy

The hustle and demand for new patches and DLCs, etcetera, are all the hallmarks of a successful franchise. And it is. This has kept on growing since Arena. A smattering of minor, and sometimes mid-ranged (LeTrush-type) bugs and glitches, but nothing truly gamebreaking, in an otherwise addicting and awe inspiring game will of course be overlooked by rabid gamers. I feel somewhat that the game should be a bit less buggy for all the money so many people have sunk into it, but the game itself is so sweet most complaints lack any real conviction as the Skyrim disc keeps spinning in their trays. It sells so well, because what better escape from reality than to build an alternate one to escape to?

I'm still on board, Bethesda, and thanks again!

You forgot to mention Fallout 4. We, or I, want that too. The reason is because I love what they do so much that it's never enough. I'll jump on every thank you thread someone makes to let Bethesda know how much what they do is appreciated and I'll ignore every griping thread because they ruin my great mood. So, cheers Bethesda, you've created a masterpiece and as soon as there's more, I'd love to play that too...whenever it's ready. Thanks!

There are definitely some gamebreaking bugs out there. On PS3, Skyrim was the buggiest game I ever played! Even after four patches, stuff like Shadowmere not spawning or being unable to complete the Civil War questline happened. But now I'm on PC, so it's all good. It's a shame that Bethesda has to rely on the community to clean up their mess, though. Even with the Unofficial Patch I run into bugs every now and then.

The weekend is coming so that will be their break.

Completely irrelevant to what you said.

What ever you do Bethesda...DO NOT rush the DLC. We want quality. So take your time. Develop a good story line and make lots of new weapons.
And in terms of xbox 360 updates. I dont really care. 1.5 makes my skyrim work fine

Somebody already found animation files for crossbows included in the 1.5 update! Now we just need confirmation on spears...

So you don't know if they are going to fix it or not. However, whether they are fixing it or not, right now it is broken for you, yes?
Solution: Play another character until they fix it. Or they don't. Either way, you need a new character.

But as I'm playing, you know what I'm going to be wishing for? Some information. It's not like I'm twisting Bethesda's arm for it, and it'll give me some peace of mind. I'll get over it without any information, sure. But you're not going to convince me out of wanting some. It's not like it'll delay patches and/or DLC by weeks/months/years if one developer took a few minutes to update the "What we're working on" thread.

I really don't see what's negative about wanting some updates. I'm not even demanding it, nor do I feel entitled to it.

When you're at a restaurant and you order a ribeye, do you stop your waiter every time he walks by your table to ask him for an update on your steak? Or do you wait, comfortably and patiently, knowing that at some moment it will come and you will devour it?

Kind of a poor anology. Unlike that situation, we don't even know the specifics of what Beth is (or may be) working on right now.

Nothing at all. I'm only expressing incredulity at those who are not so casual as yourself. And I'm also, in a roundabout way, trying to give some peace of mind to those who don't get any information.

I only wish to point out that the fixes and addons are either coming or they aren't, and if Bethesda doesn't announce a single thing, ever, you will still get everything you were ever going to get. Not you, specifically, but everyone in general.

All I'd like to see is a few of the more... high-strung individuals relax a little.

The question is, why do you need to?
I'm not saying it wouldn't be fun to know, but what's the harm in not knowing?

Not that I doubt you or anything, but can you cite some examples?

Yeah, I'm not saying I need to know either. It would be preferable, though.

Crossbows
=D

Hi Varus! And just how have you been doing? Great, I'd hope.

There is just one grain of sand in your otherwise well oiled mechanism. If it were truly irrelevant why would the PR department hint at it, foreshadow it, announce the future annoucement, and all the other teasing strategies they've been deploying? Because it's not. It builds antecipation, which in turn helps sales. The more people are eager to learn about DLC, the more Bethesda hints, suggests, but never fully delivers, which in turn only builds more antecipation. Get the picture?

Mass Effect 3.
Halo Reach.
Various patches and expansions for WoW and LoL.
Dragon Age 3.
Zelda II.
Final Fantasy II.

All anologies break down at some point and they are never meant to be exact. Aside from the technicality that you don't know it's a steak, the point shouldn't be missed. As a parent, you would eventually find it irritating if your child asked you 100 times "are we there yet?" while on a road trip. Why would you want to do the same (it's rhetorical... I know that technically it's not the same because Bethesda isn't related nor were we forced into the proverbial car on a trip that we don't know anything about... but the jist of it is: be patient and let them do their job... it'll come).

Of course. No question in my mind. From Bethesda's perspective, foreshadowing makes lots of sense.

I'm speaking from the customer frame of reference. Begging for more isn't going to get you anywhere. Bethesda has carefully crafted their schedules and announcements to deliver content in a certain way. Getting all worked up over what they do and don't announce is... well, silly.
