Now, let's analyze that picture...

Honestly, that draugr looks like Abe Lincoln.
Smug face on the giant.
Sir Mudcrab! Nice to see you. And they call your kind "horrible creatures" in Cyrodiil. Utter disgrace, one might convey.
Falmer looks like a mobster.
Surprised horker. He probably saw one of those horker roasts on the table.
Notice the facehugger on that hagraven.
(Everybody hates those bi***es. Except the Forsworn. But they are a suspicious, half deranged bunch. In a good way, though.)

The Dragonborn Noms

Anyway, we have a new DLC coming up and it's named "Heartfire".
http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/08/28/new-skyrim-dlc-add-on-hearthfire-announced/
(Someboy who got fired from Bethesda mentioned this half a year ago and nobody believed him, and it turned out to be true. He said the third one might be named "Riders of Hammerfell".)

So Bethesda brings us another substantial DLC! .... Yeah, right...  ::)
It's a house! A God damn house!
This one is even worse than Dawnguard !
And than I remember that they promised us DLCs more substantial than those they made for Fallout : New Vegas...
It's been almost a year since Skyrim was released and we're still waiting for a real expansion. Any Fallout expansion is better than what they gave us.
That makes me think they're aiming for console players who are lucky to get any extra content. This is a joke in the eyes PC gamers. I've seen mods which are much better than this! And guess what Bethesda? Mods are free.

This truly makes me sad. I've been playing Skyrim for almost a year and it's an amazing game. Possibly the best one I've ever played. The storyline isn't as good as those in previous games, but it's still good enough to make you play like crazy. Game design and engine are both top notch.
But is it too much to ask for one proper expansion instead of what they're offering us now?

Shivering Isles, guys. Now that's an expansion.
And there are lots of other realms and provinces to be visited.
That's all I'm going to say.

Well they are working on TES online but that's no real excuse. And some1 in bethesda obviously prefers xbox more than PC. When did it ever happen before that expansion comes out on xbox before it comes out on PC. And their HD version of skyrim sucks compared to the one that is being made on nexus. The one from nexus looks 1000 times better although only 20% of stuff is remade so far.

I don't really care about those HD packs. The game looks perfect just the way it is. Those modders are wasting their time in my opinion. Why are they redoing what's already done instead of adding new content?

Bethesda gets extra money for releasing stuff on Xbox before other platforms. Read: Microsoft's attempt to revive their not-so-popular console.

I haven't played it, but from what I heard it's noting special. Kill this, kill that quests, vampirism is fun, but not useful... Hordes of falmer in ruins. Soul cairn looks ok, but it's not worth all the money.
From what I've seen so far, I'm not expecting any real expansions. Which they actually promised. They said that they want make DLC's more substantial than those for New Vegas and Fallout.
My guess is that they can't make anything original because they've lost one of their key men for projects such as these.
Bethesda's concept artist Adam Adamovicz passed away in February. R.I.P.  :(
He was one of the main concept artists behind Fallout 3, Skyrim, Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles. Basically, all the good and original stuff.

His Shivering Isles concepts are the best sketches I've seen in my life. Check them out here:

I know right! Solstheim as well! I wonder how the Cliff Racers will react to the return of the dragons. (A little bit of lore for you, the Cliff Racers drove the Dragons out of Morrowind.)
Most effective elected official. Ever. (not counting Jubal)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

Cliff racers were exterminated by Saint Jiub. You know the guy. It's the other prisoner from Morrowind. ;)

LOL!! I forgot about that! And yes! I know him! I wish there was a quest mod for Morrowind involving that. XD I also know one of the first things that will be modded into this DLC is Cliff Racers. :P

EDIT: A bit of information for you: Jiub's crusade against the Cliff Racers did not bring the species into extinction, as Mjoll the Lioness often shares with the Dragonborn about her adventures in Morrowind, where she would hunt Cliff Racers with her father. Judging from Mjoll's age, this could never have been more than one or two decades ago.

I know, I've read that in trivia.
Still, I believe it's a mistake.

The Elder Scrolls online looks amazing, but I probably won't buy it.
Immersive single player is one of the reasons why I love TES games so much.

Since you guys were talking about lore, here's something nice

One of the best sources of TES lore, although it lacks Skyrim and it's lore =(.

I know this is an old topic but i'm pretty sure that Elder Scrolls online has been announced as a subscription payed game, so no one buy fun times with this one sadly :P .

I'll skip it.
Even if I had the money, I simply don't have the time.

I haven't played anything for more than a month. And before that I only played DMC for a few days.
