I so hope they won't leave buckets on the head thing in the game, I want npcs to react to something like that

Hopefully that means implementing some sort of spell creation system, and bringing back the ability to jump high. And if Beth ever tries Multi-player in ES, then ES and Beth are dead to me. And then so will RPGs basically.

I hope they make it so followers level with you
and add more marriage choices
and make destruction spells scale with you
and make it so I can have more than one character save at a time

then fix what the 1.2 patch broke and all remaining bugs

then we could talk about REAL add-ons

I really, really want them to leave marriages alone. I DON'T WANT TO PLAY ANOTHER DA2. That thing was a piece of [censored] and I'll have none of it in my TES, thank you! :biggrin:

Hmm, I foresee... Some tree stumps will now be able to be sat upon, some fences and posts will allow you to lean against them. Sawing logs and grain mills will be paying jobs and random locations will let you sit down in the meditative pose. The ability to soak in the hot springs will be added along with eating,drinking and climbing into bed... Actually I wouldn't mind any (or all) of those being included.

Doesn't sound like there will be any new land to explore in the DLC. Just more Skyrim.

Skyrim+ to put it simply.

I think there will be. Just later down the road.

Hopefully. :confused:

DLC will be focused on making Skyrim better instead of being a level pack.

Good news if they actually go this route. Game has a lot of untapped potential. Hopefully this means balance changes are on the table this time.

I think he just said "Multiplayer? Hell no." as nice as he could.

Great thinking to keep it single-player; I'm all for that. I'm sorry the lead programmer is upset but Todd is right. I don't know how many people actually do that with the buckets but I'm not doing a thief build so I don't. It was still funny though...and fun, and above all, these games are fun. Thanks again, Bethesda and thanks OP for the link.

Hehe, I love how Todd spoke about multi-player, translated in to plain English I think that response could be summarized as "no, we aren't going to do multi-player". I guess he doesn't want to put people off of the series tho and thus why he did not say it so bluntly.

Well the thing Skyrim needs in my opinion is some larger quest-lines so Fallout 3's style of DLC seems likely. Oblivion's horse armor DLC seems unlikely, tho a potential joke that bethesda may throw at as in the future.
