And it starts...."ZOMG!! Befsda lied to uz!! Dey saed dat de anounsmantz frr DLCz be da las weak uf Aprilz...it nao Muyz Firs...still no anounsmantz!! I iz peezed an I nevu gun buyz a Befsda gaem aginz!! I hatz yuuuzzz!!!"

You know who I blame for the forums being spammed by crying whining fans who feel lied to?

Scott Grill from Examiner.com.

Maybe if Mr. Grill would've just kept his fingers from the keyboard and not written the article 'guessing' that there 'might' be a DLC announcement from Bethesda the last week of April people wouldn't be so pissed off at Bethesda when they hold off on their official announcement. So, thank you Mr. Grill, for getting the whiners up in a tizzy. Also, [censored] you, Mr. Grill.

[Daniel Brown]

Where is everyone getting the idea that news about DLC is coming in April? I don't think they ever said that, did they? Pete Hines tweeted: "Some things coming down the road in April for all you Rage and Skyrim fans. April is gonna have some cool news and surprises." And on Bethblog all they said was "Bethesda Game Studios has been hard at work on creating the first set of game add-ons that will be exclusive to the Xbox 360. This additional content will add new quests, locations, features, and much more to the world of Skyrim. Stay tuned for more details."

Is there something else I don't know about??

Soooo, the bits you just quoted from twitter and bethblog, dont they answer your question....

"This additional content will add new quests, locations, features, and much more to the world of Skyrim." id say that sounds like dlc to me...

[Darlene Delk]

[...]and the Windhelm Arena stuff (which is probably just cut content due to the 11/11/11 deadline).

Hey! I didn't know for this one ! Hope it'll be added.

Besides, I really don't understand people here complaining for having to wait longer than to the end of april to get DLC hints. So many people criticized Bethesda for having rushed their game to meet the 11.11.11 deadline. Now Bethesda is exactly proving that this criticism has been heard : they refuse to get caught in their own deadlines by announcing their DLC too early. This is, in my humble opinion, the wisest way of working, or at least the one which'll benefit the players the most. Besides, the more time they take to finish it, the better and deeper the future DLC gets and the less content will be cut off it for development time issues.

About the speculation around the final number of DLCs... Well, it has been said that the first two DLC will be temporarily XBox-exclusive. Isn't it a clue that there will be more than two DLCs?

[Nina Mccormick]

I am working on getting a little more info out on Skyrim/DLC. Maybe next week? We'll see. Also trying to confirm Kinect release date.

Thank you for this, MY HOPES HAVE BEEN LIFTED!

The title of this thread should be changed to reflect what Pete Hines actually said. Especially if the OP wants to avoid the inevitable [censored] storm that is going to be the, 'BEFSDA LIED TO UZ!' threads.

Let it be known, Pete Hines said, '...MIGHT BE A DLC ANNOUNCEMENT NEXT WEEK....'

Even if they announce it next week or soon I think it will take time for us to get it..

[Ash]

He said Maybe
But lets hope we will get something.. That tweet made me happy

[Charlie Ramsden]

yes he said "maybe next week? We'll see." which means, don't hold your breath.

[Scott Clemmons]

DLC announced next week!

DLC arrives two months after announcment.

Still waiting on that nirnroot glow fix.

[Kristina Campbell]

Next week:
"jk lol"
And I will declare it the best tweet ever.

[jodie]

Yeah I agree with TheTallest, he said MAYBE next week, whereas your thread title seems to reflect that he said next week for certain.

[michael flanigan]

First expansion will be released on 12/12/2012.

[Laurenn Doylee]

He said Maybe

So i'll stick with Soon^tm

[Cathrine Jack]

I wonder what info he will give us. :/ Something small? something big like a announcement trailer?

[CRuzIta LUVz grlz]

yes he said "maybe next week? We'll see." which means, don't hold your breath.

I'm holding it right now

I think the Kinect announcement was the surprise for April. I don't see them saying anything about a DLC announcement coming in April specifically. Yet people are still saying that they only have four more days to make an announcement

The title of the thread? Unofficial Skyrim DLC Discussion? It says nothing about what Bethesda has or hasn't said...Why does it need to be changed? Especially since it is now in part 8!

The title of the thread? Unofficial Skyrim DLC Discussion? It says nothing about what Bethesda has or hasn't said...Why does it need to be changed? Especially since it is now in part 8!

That post came from a thread that was merged with this one. Was something along the lines of "DLC announcement next week!"

[Markie Mark]

GOOD NEWS! (Somewhat, for those who haven't heard it yet).

The second post at http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1367158-unofficial-dlc-discussion-possible-spoilers-thread-6/ about the DLC got me intrigued. An user named Raestloz had uncovered some details about the DLC by checking the Patch 1.5.26 update files. Back in april 16, before the "Soon" dishonored picture dissipated the attention about Skyrim DLC. Something about crossbows and Snow Elves. This made me really curious and I used an utility (strings.exe) to scan the Patch 1.5.26 update file for valid strings. This revealed the following things (Notice the DLC01 prefix. Pretty much confirmed it's about the DLC!):

Snow elf stuff:

Animations\[b]DLC01\Chair_SnowElfPrinceDialogueA.HKX[/b]Animations\[b]DLC01\Chair_SnowElfPrinceDialogueB.HKX[/b]Animations\[b]DLC01\Chair_SnowElfPrinceDialogueC.HKX[/b]Animations\[b]DLC01\Chair_SnowElfPrinceDialogueD.HKX[/b]Animations\[b]DLC01[/b]\Chair_SnowElfPrinceDialogueE.HKXAnimations\[b]DLC01[/b]\Chair_SnowElfPrinceFireBall.HKXAnimations\[b]DLC01[/b]\Chair_SnowElfPrinceSitIdle.HKXAnimations[b]\DLC01\SnowElfPrinceAscensionBurning.HKX[/b]

Vampire feeding stuff:

Animations\[b]DLC01\IdleMesmerizes.hkx[/b][b]Animations\DLC01\Paired_VampFeedBack.hkxAnimations\DLC01\Paired_VampFeedFront.hkx[/b]

Crossbows:

No Idea what 'RF' is.

Basically, the DLC will at least have:

• Snow elves
  
• Snow Elf Prince
  
• Crossbows
  
• New vampire feeding animations
  
• Something prefixed 'RF'.

What do you think?

Maybe next week.. we get.. a.. sniff.

https://twitter.com/#!/DCDeacon said it on Twitter.

[Josee Leach]

@Karellan... DUUUUDE.. That's probably the first confirmed 'official' dlc content I'm seeing. Thank you so much (and Raestloz for finding it out first!). Crossbows, snow elves and revamped () vampires? I'm in!

[michael flanigan]

Well looking at the "RF" text it seems to be a person?

btw its good to finally have SOME hint as to what might be in the DLC, sheesh.

[Skrapp Stephens]

lol, "maybe" means now that they have everyone's attention, they're going to release a teaser photo that is clearly reminiscent of Skyrim which is going to actually be for a totally new IP and then they're going to scold everyone saying: "We do make other games, y'know"
