Make the expansion Bethedsa

[tigershark13]

I want them to make some expansions for oblivon come on they have to do it. like one that lets you be truly evil YAY!. post your expansion ideas and lets hope that bethedsa reads it

They won't make an expansion, atleast not any time soon. I believe one of the developers even said this. They make too much money releasing small plugins than they make trying to do another expansion (after all the programming, voice acting, graphics work, ect.) They've probably made more money from people buying the plugins than they've made from actual sales of the game.

 

In short, not gonna happen, no sense in getting worked up over it.

Bethesda only checks the official forums, so they won't see anything here. But an expansion would be nice. I just don't have a clue of what it could be. I don't think they would use a whole province for an expansion. Maybe it'll be something like the Tribunal expansion for Morrowind, a separate "city" which wasn't on the map. You were teleported to it.

It owuld be cool if they added somthing like blood moon isle. oh and the abiliy to be a necromancer that would rule.

How is this possible, if the total combined cost of all plugins is less than the game. If everyone bought all the plugins, there would still be less moeny than from sales.

good point there.

 

It would be great if an expansion was on the horizon, but im not holding my breath.

It is possible because of the production costs. It takes much more money for Oblivion to make even more voice-acting than is usually required for a plug-in, more graphics designing, marketing for the new expansion product, and then making the expansion product, boxing it, shipping it everywhere, etc.

 

With a plug-in, they get the voice-acting, make the code, and then just put it on the web. It doesn't take as much time or nearly as much money to make a plug-in, so that is why the plug-ins could net Bethesda more of a profit.

You forgot all the advertizing and other promotional stuff they did for Oblivion. Then you have to figure that while an expansion would only be viable for PC, all these plugins can work nicely with the several thousand Xbox players, as well as the PC.

Yes but the problem with the plugins is that you need the patch and guess what! the patch does'nt work on my PC (i am runnin the no DVD because i brke my disk lol.
