Bethesda Talks Skyrim DLC



Bethesda has been pretty quiet about DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim leading up to the release of the game, and even a month after launch, we've heard nothing about potential expansion in the game. Following their track record for previous Elder Scrolls games, as well as other games from BGS, TESV will see "multiple DLC releases" with "a lot of meat on them", according to Todd Howard.

In a recent interview, Howard claims that the team is looking for new ways to improve The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim through future DLC.

"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," said Howard. So when are these Skyrim add-ons heading out? Howard said that the addditional content "don't have a timetable", but when they do arrive "they'll have a lot of meat on them".

When content does arrive, it will head to the Xbox 360 first, and will be exclusive to the console for thirty days, much like the Call of Duty DLC agreement that Microsoft has in place with Activision.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim won Spike's Game of the Year this weekend, with Bethesda Game Studios also taking home the title of best developer.

    Interesting that they would make it console exclusive but I guess the pc players have their own toys to make and play with. Kind of spits in the face of ps3 players though.

      It may be because I have PC or that PS3 is hard to code but there really arnt any bugs, I always hear about them but honestly its overplayed, there arnt any bad glitches in 90 hours of gameplay for me, trust me get the game.

    This is how DLC should be: Not even thought about until after the game has been released.

    Haven’t bought it yet, even though we’ve seen it for less than $50 some places, because we want the rest of you to work out the bugs. We buy it on the PC, and basically these guys want to have their cake and eat it to by customizing it to one platform, which only works okay, and then putting it on other platforms, which suffer.

    No wonder there is such a market for independent games of this genre.

    Man :( I was hoping dlc would be like older TES games. I’d rather have a 30 hour expansion pack than a 3 hour dlc pack…

      It Is, Bethesda said it themselves, they are looking for an expansion pack ‘feel’ similar to Shivering isles.

    By, “a lot of meat” I hope he means we go back to Cyrodiil or Vvardenfell.
