Skyrim DLC News Incoming Next Week... Maybe

Posted on Thursday, April 26 @ 08:19:27 Eastern by


One of the topics the team and I discuss on this week's episode of GameRevolution Radio is the recent trend of Game of the Year Editions; saying how all major titles get a DLC-packed re-release.

Strangely, though, the game with the most Game of the Year awards hasn't yet announced a Game of the Year Edition, and that's because no DLC at all has been released for it. That game, is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

The wait may soon be over, according to Pete Hines. Or maybe not, if his "we'll see" is anything like my parents' when I was a kid asking for a new He-Man action figure or Transformer. Because fuck my parents, that's why.

Here's what Bethesda's Pete Hines said on that tweeting blue bird social network thing:
I am working on getting a little more info out on Skyrim/DLC. Maybe next week? We'll see. Also trying to confirm Kinect release date.
I learned to just stick with my old toys. But now I'm older, and this Skyrim DLC is too late. My attention span is short, and I've already moved on. Plus I don't give a shit about Kinect.

Whatever. Just hurry up already, Bethesda. Okay? You've never worried about rushing products out to the market before—why start now?

    Skyrim was fun for a couple weeks but it got boring after I beat the main story. I have never touched it since. This DLC is way too late, I don't think many people still care about Skyrim. It IS an overrated game and lacks staying power. I haven't seen a single person on my friends list playing Skyrim in atleast 4 months.

    To me the hype was warranted. I played the ever living **** out of that game, far beyond the main story. But there's only so much time I can invest. DLC would have kept me going, but it's already 5 months too late.

    I hadnt played it for months and recently picked it back up. It's one of those games that feels new again after a while. Can't wait for DLC.

    I agree. It was fun while it lasted. But for me, the lack of new and exciting enemies made it get boring quick. How many Drugar do I gotta fight? Also, it never seemed like anything I did impacted the world like it did in Oblivion.

    Actually, it's deep, just not teaming with life. Also, it's got pollution. We're talking "BP oil spill" here.

    They'd have to add a lot more than what you could just get for free from mods.

    Like, some kind of combat system that includes more than left clicking or left button holding.
    Enemy AI's that do more than 'run straight at you' and 'strafe between ranged attacks'
    Enemies that can use stealth?

    [[Klandathu -- There's a mod for arrow crafting.]]

    On a side note, I've yet to actually beat the game's ending boss. I'm quite easily side tracked and have multiple characters of different play styles. all of which I started brand new once I discovered the importance/OP of maxing smithing, enchanting (and alchemy to boost those two).
