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

Good. Shivering Isles was a prefect example of how DLC *should* be done. I'm still waiting for the GOTY Edition of Skyrim. And when I get a new PC, I'm just going to keep waiting and playing Oblivion mods. Especially considering Morrowind is now in Oblivion, there is a 60+ hour standalone-story mod called "Nehrim" and the community is still working on adding all the other provinces to it... I've got more than enough Elder Scrolls. :3 That, and I still can't get over the fact "classes" have been dropped entirely in Skyrim.foxhound_fox

Nehrim was fantastic, and we'll have the Andorantotal conversion soon as well. Can't wait.

Replace Meat with Bugs and you're good to go.

There were no real "classes" in Oblivion to begin with. All you did was pick 7 stats that progress faster than the rest allowing you to level up. That's not a class, you could level to 100 in every one if you wanted to. It essentially works the same way in Skyrim. Skills that are higher in number will give you a bigger boost towards leveling up, essentially doing the same thing as Oblivion. The only difference is you can change stones at any time instead of picking a sign like in the beginning of Oblivion.

Even though there isn't a structured cIass mechanic in the traditional sense, and all skill trees are available, it seems fairly safe to say most players would focus on specializing in particular trees in order to boost them to maximum strength as quickly as possible. Trying to level up all the trees is inefficient and leads to slow progression for any of them, wheras focusing on the magic group is a sure way to build a powerful mage, just as keeping to weapons and armor skills builds a strong warrior.

In all liklihood the desire to have a powerful skill set will essentially lead players to gravitate to the "cIasses" by working on the appropriate skills, rather than spreading it all out. Better to be a master of one specialization rather than a jack of all trades that doesn't really excel at anything. Of course this is just general principle and there are sure to be individual experimenters :)

Morrowind and Cyrodiil expansion packs virtually confirmed.

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:

AdobeArtist

well the main plot is so small and boring its just a surface,no depth:P.The end especially is a huge letdown.in no way or shape will you need 300 hours in .I left the game at 61 hours having compelte every single joinable faction,the imperial legion,the main quest,5 daedric quests and lots of side and miscellaneous quests.I guess at 90-100 hours you can do everything(which is still a really damn long time,but not 300 hours as people boast)I really hope the dlc's arent just big for the sake of impressing,cause thats skyrim's big weapon,it just offers lots of the same things to do and it easily impresses (and "stuffs")people,i want interesting quests

Lol, "a lot of meat on them." There's too much meat on the game as it is. I have about 100 hours on it and still feel like I haven't played even half the game yet.

Say what you will about Bethesda, but they know how to make DLC worth your money

DragonfireXZ95

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.

Loved Tribunal and Bloodmoon

I agree though all of Fallout 3 DLC sucked though...but I really didn't like the game to begin with.

Point lookout was awesome. It was the Shivering Isle of Fallout 3.

A smaller team working on a handful of solid DLC/Expansion packs while they work on Fallout 4 or a new IP sounds good to me.

I have 96 hours to be exact. I've completed about 80 quests so far. I have the Dark Brotherhood, College of Winterhold, and Thieves Guild questlines all finished. And I have just under 200 locations discovered(about 180 something I believe). Considering that there's over 500 locations to discover, it seems likely that I still have a ways to go. I still have yet to do the Companions and Civil War questlines. And I've only just started the main questline. And I've only done about a handful of the Daedric quests. There's too much!!!! I remember by the time I hit 96 hours in New Vegas, I was hard pressed to find a quest to occupy myself with.

They can start by "selling" us a proper control scheme and UI.

The entire inventory system is designed around scrolling through large item-collections - one by one.

The combat system itself gives you 2 (two) abilities at any given time, which leads to large amounts of your gametime being alloted to navigating clunky menues.

I'm a dualwielding conjuror..... Managing my atronach, along with two weapons, a couple of situational spells and potions is pretty damn terrible, even with shortkeys.

That, and I still can't get over the fact "classes" have been dropped entirely in Skyrim.foxhound_fox

it would actually be pretty awesome if they added multiplayer,

look at dark souls for instance, it's really fun playing with friends,

but Bethesda has it's priorities right they should focus on DLCs

All DLC should have a lot of meat for the money, other devs should take note.

Shivering Isles and New Vegas's OLD WORLD BLUES are pretty much the way DLC should be done imo.

I would love one of the DLC's for Skyrim to be a colab with OLD WORLD BLUES Obsidian guys and Shivering Isles guys :cool:

Great to hear. I am 35 hours into Skyrim and loving it. It has its flaws, but most of them are not unreasonable given the scale of the game. Liking it WAY more than Oblivion, and its definitely one of the best games this past year.

[QUOTE="princeofshapeir"]Well, Cyrodil and Vvaardenfell are actually fully present landmasses in Skyrim, so... incoming expansion packs? :DCherokee_Jack

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

They need to do High Rock. Pretty small province.
