What do you want in a new DLC? and how many DLC's do you think is

[Dweedle]

At the moment we have Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn.

 

I'd class Dawnguard and Dragonborn as expansions and Hearthfire as something like GRA that NV had.

 

So, all up we have 2 expansions and 1 item pack.

 

Would getting another 3 expansions and maybe another 4 item packs be pushing the boundaries?

 

Anyway, I'd LOVE a DLC that is about something to do with the great collapse in Winterhold, I think there is great potential there. Maybe it wasn't the storm or the college but something entirely different? Like.. a frozen Dragon that escaped which caused the collapse or somethin like that.

Well having a complete new faction would be cool, we need a new storyline to Middle E-Tamireal.

I don't think that adding more DLC's is pushing boundaries. I think there are still more story lines that Bethesda could pursue. I think there is potential for a few more yet. I would personally like to see something along the lines of civil war but with the people of skyrim at war with the Aldmeri Dominion / Thalmor. Obviously there would have to a story as to why this situation arises but I will leave that to the geniuses at Bethesda to decipher. From a stormcloak point of view this situation is plausible and almost feels inevitable at some stage. However from an imperial point of view it does not seem an obvious conclusion. My first thought was maybe the Aldmeri Dominion try to take control of skyrim and create a divide between the Altimer / High Elf's and the rest of the people of skyrim. Perhaps they begin to discriminate against and treat poorly all other races. Maybe this makes the empire change their opinion of the Thalmoor enough to participate in or at least not object to a rebellion against the Aldmeri Dominion. I was quite disappointed when I finished the civil war questline to find nothing is ever done about the Thalmor.

 

Anyway that would be my dream expansion on the civil war questline for what it is worth. :)

The best DLC would be pursuing the civil war main quest with a little bit of the dwemer history side quest + the dragon born being able to duel the daedric prince even becoming a daedra himself

 

 

 

A daedra who can use thuum with dragons at his disposal is the beast(yes i did that on purpose).

I would like they keep making DLCs until close to the release of their next game,as Bioware did with Mass Effect 2's DLCs.

Yes it would.

 

Bethesda said before Skyrim's release that there would be less DLC then Fallout 3, but each DLC would be larger.

 

And given that both Dawnguard, and Dragonborn, fit that claim, I suspect we will see one more smaller add-on, and one larger Dawnguard/Dragonborn sized DLC.

I would love to see an expansion on the Werewolves. No idea how you would do it but we've had DLC's focusing on Vampires, home building and dragons respectively so I think there is defiantly a gap for werewolves. I know it's kind of covered in the Companions' quests but briefly in my opinion. Maybe some back story or the ability to journey to a new land and join a clan of werewolves somewhere and fight until at the end you become clan leader or something. Maybe you could join a detachment of the Silver Hand in that area if you are not a werewolf.

 

I don't know, not a game designer but I would snap up a DLC if this was what was advertised. :biggrin:

I don't think they'll be doing a Werewolf DLC. Werewolves already got a huge upgrade with the Dawnguard DLC (in terms of game-play) and if they put any more focus on vampires and werewolves they might aswell add two factions called Team Edward and Team Jacob.

 

There is plenty of other lore that is wrothy of a DLC. Maybe something involving the history of the Falmer and the Dwemer, or a proper campaign with or against the Forsworn. The most obvious one seems to be something involving the Thalmor, as that is the biggest unresolved issue in Skyrim.

I for one hope we see little to nothing of this in DLC. It offers so much story telling potential that it really deserves its own game, focused on an Imperial invasion of the Domminion, rather than some after thought DLC.

[AnimeOtaku102]

Since DLCs have to be designed to be playable at any point in Skyrim's story, I honestly doubt there will be one that involves the Thalmor to any extent since they have to remain present for part of the main questline (at least up until the temporary peace treaty); letting the player "resolve" the Thalmor issue before that point will wind up undermining the story, especially since removing the Thalmor from the equation means the Empire can just go "Okay, religious freedom time, go ahead an worship Talos" and Ulfric rapidly deflating from the loss of his religious soapbox.

 

I suspect any future DLCs will have to involve adjacent provinces. Maybe a brief foray into High Rock as political intrigue spills across the border, or a jaunt into the deserts of Hammerfell to stop an army of undead Dominion soldiers who think the Great War is still on, or revisiting Cyrodil to make moth priests cry with your armor made from indestructible Elder Scrolls.

 

Oh, and of course, there's the tried-and-true "Clear a previously unknown castle of whatever haunts it and become its new lord".
