Ragosch Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 There is a video somewhere with the policy of Bethesda in regards to completion of game development. They basically said, they could end content creation earlier and put more effort into testing. But they found, that adding content up to right before the release, is making for a better player experience than trying to fix all bugs, which is anyway not really successful, because a few dozen of dev-guys do not do the same things, millions of players try out. So they rather focus on more content, and fix things in updates, using the millions of players to find the bugs. I would not call this greed, but a reasonable decision based on the fact, that it is really hard to find bugs in a developer version. The production version out to the public makes finding bugs more efficient. So this is actually a trade-off, which makes us to beta testers for a while, but on the other side, we get more content as well. On the other hand, this means they are basically asking us to pay money for a broken product. And, really, the video game industry is like the only industry in the world that is allowed to get away with that. I think that if consumers are to be expected to pay for these things, they should be able to demand a product that actually works as advertised. And if the game developers use their customers as beta testers, those customers should be entitled to compensation. (And no, "more content" doesn't count, not when that content is what the customers payed for in the first place.) It's not just the gaming industry, all of the software industry is like that - think about it - software is sold as it is, they do not make any guarantees that it works or fulfills a certain purpose, they do not take any responsibilities for any damage they might do and so on - that is the whole software industry, which gets away with selling products without to even have to make them work - it is sold as it is - buggy and incomplete.

theadventurer Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 This is in my imagination so far(sorry for bad english):The Dragonborn come across a secret door in blackreach.Inside he found an old man named Yerlev,who claimed to be the last Dwemer in skyrim(or maybe Tamriel).He then tells Dragonborn that he's been researching a magnificent race called "The Angels".Yerlev then wants Dragonborn to go to their place in the northern part of skyrim,The Palace of The Sky.Yerlev knew it would be impossible to go to The Palace of The Sky without flying,he then tells Dragonborn that he's been creating for 50 years a machinary that can helps human fly,The Wings of The Dwemer.This DLC contains:-New weapons,armor,magic and many more-The ability to fly and fight in the air with The Wing of The Dwemer-New places,dungeon,cave,found in The Palace of The Sky-New enemies,The Angels(and whatever bethesda wants to add)To Bethesda:add anything i havent say in this postThanks for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathWarrior Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) I want to see the return of stalrim (a forging material from Bloodmoon) and weapons/armor made from it the most. Something involving the Alik'r and/or the Aldmeri Dominion and the addition of spears as a new weapon type would also be cool.

Perhaps Valkyrie type enemies, Like dragons but they have flying horses and use lances and archery from atop the steed. mmm I like that idea actually. They could be an ancient race from sovngarde that got corrupted by a daedric prince or maybe the thalmor lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murietta Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 To tell the truth, in the next DLC I want to see a little war between my favouriye Empire and Aldmer Dominion. I'm dislike high elfs, because they began The great war and made lots of evil to people. However I not sure that Empire ready to war, but I wanna belive that Empire again will be a greate country.

kevkiev Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Although I would dearly like to see a war with the Dominion, I just don't see that being DLC material. Your char might have sided with the stormcloaks or the imperials and, although someone posted a neat little workaround to that earlier (i.e. letters from Ulfric or Tullius), your char might not have even started the CW quest at all or might have decided to ignore both Ulfric and Tullius for the whole game. There's also a lot of NPC dialogue that wouldn't make much sense in the context of a new war against the Thalmor. As much as I'd like to finish off the Thalmor, I just don't see a war against the Dominion DLC fitting in with the game world very well - I would actually rather see that as the bulk of the content for ES VI. i.e. forget the idea of a MQ and a "quasi MQ" (ie the CW) like in ES V, make the whole thing focused on a Thalmor war. My gut feel is that the next DLC will be about the Dwemer and the Snow Elves and I'd be on board with that. From reading some of the other posts I guess it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I actually really like the Dwemer ruins and fighting the Falmer (though the Falmer could REALLY use some higher-res textures - hint hint to any texture wizzes that may be reading htis :wink: ) DG and TG spoiler: Especially since DG hinted at potentially small pockets of Snow Elves still living in Tamriel. I really liked the big columns toppling over in that one DG ruin, as well as the ending of the Mercer Frey quest where that big chamber filled up with water, and would love to see more in-the-midst-of and escape-from-the imminent collapse type underground environments in the event the next DLC does have more dwemer ruins.

Ikickass Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 How about getting rid of dead bodies and repairing damaged buildings, I am fed up with both and why dont they rebuild Helgen and winterhold in my game I have a couple of trading posts closed because of dragons killing the towns folk/shop owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahnjd Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Would be nice to go to the Sumurset Isle to fight for a resistance to either overthrow the Thalmor leadership or help the Thalmor stamp out insurgents the Thalmor for the next TES series. Also you can either work for the bounty system in the mod New Vegas bounties where you can choose to kill for either the resistance or Thalmor.

gaunti Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Really? Maybe you own some shares of a game company huh?what if i did, who cares, its not the point, we studios plan games they have a schedule to follow, if they think of adding random things in along the way then the game would constantly be delayed and you would be pissed they are taking to long, dlc is an expansion, an add on, something extra they thought of either after release or during creation and they couldnt put it in because it was never planned for. if you dont like having to pay for things then dont play them, no one is saying you have to, the only thing your losing is the experience of playing it. me on the otherhand I dont have a problem with paying for extra content and dont see a reason that i should While the skyrim dlc does indeed feel like something "new" added, and not like something that should or must have been in the game from the start on, I must say that many dlc from other games do very much feel like moneymaking. I for myself don't buy games from companys anymore that gave me a game that was only halfdone with dlc that is a must have to "really" play said game. So theres dlc that adds and dlc that should be free because it incorparates things that should have been in a game from the start... I remember a game a friend had, it had a very dull ending and you had to buy dlc with alternative endings to make your roleplay during gameplay have any effect at all. Thats a prime example for dlc that should be free, even if the developers hadn't had the time for alternative endings, fine. But don't demand money for something I feel I have allready paid for. that said.... new dlc for skyrim? make it possible to travel to the old games areas like cyrodil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
