Don't Expect Horse Armor DLC in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Xeivous]

I'm expecting a Shivering Isles-style expansion pack. Maybe in Elsweyr?

The elder scrolls don't work that way. Elsweyr would be another whole game, as it is a province. We'll probably get an island ala bloodmoon or a deadric realm.

Wait, we don't have the option to put stupid armor on our horse? Immersion ruined.

I am surprised at some of the reactions in this thread. The armor seemed pointless and not worth my money, good riddance, hopefully we will get more expansion pack DLC instead or at least items that are actually worth buying.

I for one enjoy the concept behind the DLCs that give you houses, my only complaint is that I wish a bit more story was put into them. I mean, for the Fighter's Stronghold and Thieve's Den DLCs, it's just a matter of clearing out some baddies and then buying a few upgrades to make it a proper house and then some. Wizard's Tower and Vile Lair didn't even require you to fight anything.

I also don't really like the more minimal DLC packs. Horse Armor is barely a thought in my mind of course, but I've only ever found 2 Spell Tomes in the time I've had that DLC, and while the Orrery looks cool, it doesn't do all that much for me.

That said, I highly enjoyed playing through the Mehrunes' Razor quest, giant dungeon full of cool items and large, interesting areas? That's DLC done right, I hope we can see DLC of its quality for Skyrim.

Something tells me that you didn't find the secret of the Fighter Stronghold. Go to one of the torches in the main bedroom and unlock the secret closest. There is a note to start a quest. I was very fond of what I found in the basement...

If the DLC is like Morrowinds, then Hell you could release one and I'd be happy.

THERE IS NO DLC FOR MORROWIND *runs away crying*

YES THERE IS. Bethesda made 8 official mods for Morrowind. Mostly they're really small, some even smaller than the horse armour DLC; but they're totally free and can provide a little amusement. (Hailing fireball arrows at enemies is mega-fun.)

It just struck me, how long do you think it will be before someone does a My Little Pony mod, changing all the horses to MLP characters?.

0.000000000000000001 seconds before they start, plus 2 hours for them to implement it, and five minutes to upload it.

So Skyrim Launch + 02:05:0.000000000000000001. Exactly.

I did find that actually, and while it was nice and interesting it was more of an easter egg than anything (doesn't even show up on the quest log).

I wonder what horses will be turned into which ponies. If it's the same horses that are in Oblivion I'd bet money on Black = Rainbow Dash (fastest) and White = Applejack (strongest) but I'm not sure for the others.

Captcha: structural qAiref. I don't think that second world has much structure to it.

ok, then I love being in denialXD

 

[Outcast107]

Forget horse armor. Dragon armor is where its at.

 

[Techno Destructo]

I wonder if we're going to be able to overhear conversations talking about things you've done in the previous Elder Scrolls. It would be wild to hear people tell tales of the wipe out of nearly all of members of the Dark Brotherhood or something like that.

 

[infohippie]

I meant that once they are done releasing the dlc they make a goty version with it all along with the main game included on the same disc. Ill have to buy it twice but I still prefer that to dlc.

Im just sick of my hard drive getting filled up T_T

Can't you just put a bigger hard drive in? Drives are as cheap as a very cheap thing these days. I don't do consoles so I'm not totally sure how it's done, but don't they just use regular HDDs?

 

[greenice]

[XHolySmokesX]

Woa woa woa guys, calm down!!!!

Toddy boy didn't say anything about no horse armour, he said no horse armour DLC

There will definately be horse armour in the standard game, why wouldn't there be, everyone knows they would lose a lot of game sales without it...

 

[Jezzascmezza]

It'd be great if Skyrim got an expansion with a similar amount of content to The Shivering Isles.
That expansion pack was essentially an entire new game.

 

[RuralGamer]

Fewer, larger expansions with more content? Sounds like a step back in time. Sounds like a good step. Man I miss expansion packs which added like an extra 30% content. Hopefully we'll have another Shivering Isles-esque expansion, but we'll have to see.

And why can't it be the 11th of November tomorrow?

Captcha is now using three words?

 

[Corporal Yakob]

I still can't find my horse in Oblivion..... :'(

 

[Rpground]

THATS WHAT DLC SHOULD BE! most DLC should be on the expansion pack feel,when was the last time you got an EXPANSION PACK and not just some item and 1 new NPC/small area? its been a hell of a long time for me,ill tell you that.THANK YOU! at least it seems like their treating this game right unlike oblivion...though mods make up for it somewhat...thank you community!
