Skyrim DLC Packs Will 'Have A Lot of Meat on Them'

http://pc.ign.com/articles/121/1214600p1.html

Bethesda has confirmed that Skyrim will receive multiple, large pieces of DLC. According to director Todd Howard, the goal of new DLC releases will be to find "ways to make the game better, not just have more, because the game is so big. So we're going through ideas right now, and processing everything people are doing in the game, and trying to think of ways that we can improve it."

Howard said that the releases "don't have a timetable," but that they'll be substantial. "They won't be quick," he said, "and they'll have a lot of meat on them."

He added that players shouldn't expect any multiplayer Skyrim releases in the future. While he wouldn't rule out the possibility entirely, he said that it isn't Bethesda's current goal.

"You can never say never to anything like that," Hoaward said, "but it's not what our focus is. This type of game is where our hearts are, what we get excited about, and that's what we want to focus on. We don't want to lose that focus and we never want to sacrifice anything in the single-player game just to have it be multiplayer."

Previously, Microsoft announced that the first two DLC packs for Skyrim would be exclusive to Xbox Live for 30 days. It's not known if the timed exclusive will apply to DLC beyond that.

Well, Cyrodil and Vvaardenfell are actually fully present landmasses in Skyrim, so... incoming expansion packs? :Dprinceofshapeir

Noooo, please no Cyrodiil. It's so boring. : (

They need to do High Rock. Pretty small province.

I'm 45 hours into the game, only at level 21, and I know I just barely scratched the surface of the main plot. I have been waist deep in side missions. With a potential for 300 game hours this hardly even needs DLC :lol:

As crazy as this will sound, the more DLC content they make, the better for us. Ultimately, theres going to be a point where we'll get bored of something. As massive as this game is (lvl 27 here)....knowing Bethesda will make ridiculous big, quality DLC for it wether it'd be additional items/weapons/armor/enemies or new features....combined with what we already have is just so worth it.

In the end they're willing to extend the fun factorsfor a hell of a lot more hours.

Hell yes.

It also means they're not done fixing the game yet, which is just icing in the cake.

lol, I didn't begin this game day 1 like everybody else. I could only start when I got back from my vacation (about nov 28). Actually I began Skyrim after I finished Halo Anniversary from getting back from my holiday. So I'm basically playing catch up. AND LOVING IT!! :D :D

The Fallout 3 DLC is a great bar to set. Every single one was worth the money, but ones like Broken Steel and Point Lookout added a LOT to the game and kept me playing for many hours more.

I hope they can use the unfinished Morrowind and Cyrodil lands in DLC instead of keeping them for no reason other then potential mods. It would be nice if they could open them both up and give us 1/3 of Tamriel to explore, that would be sweet.

Multiplayer in Skyrim? If they don't do it, mods will. Oblivion ALMOST had it on its broken, hellish engine. It should be a piece of cake now for modders thanks to the Creation Engine.

Wandering around in Skyrim with a friend, slashing up dragons and causing havoc... can't say no. :P

Waiting for the inevitable "Ultimate" edition.

No they don't lol. Shivering Isles was the only real good one I can think of. All the ones for Fallout 3 sucked.

Tribunal was decent, but Bloodmoon wasn't that great.
