I would love all of that. Kind of makes you think about the crazy stuff the will be able to do in the next game.
But please oh please Dragon mounts!

True. I still think we get the better end of the deal over DLC.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:Incidentally, its also where I do my gaming.

It's funny, all the mods I've checked out have been crap compared to the real game that was made by professionals. I think the reason this cynical community acts like the professional game is crap and the amateur mods are amazing is that (1) they are suckers for an underdog story and (2) they are bad at managing their expectations, from the professionals they expect too much and get disappointed while from the amateurs they are impressed and satisfied by pretty much any piece of crap.
Anyway, the thread gives people the wrong idea because Todd Howard was not presenting these as "here's what we are thinking for DLC", when he is actually saying something more like "here's what our people did with one week of creative free time, some of it might end up as part of a DLC but that's not the point."

Yes please.NightHawk21 said:
In terms of new areas I think it would be cool to be able to take a ship and explore islands beyond the northern shore, possibly an ice sheet. Maybe we could even sail the ship around ourselves.
Right, lets go through this list:
Spears - Cool.
Kill cams for magic - Should be a patch, not content you have to pay for.
Water arrows - Cool!
Giant mud crabs - This, amongst other things, could just be the "more enemies", but I wouldn't buy something that would just give you big-ass mud crabs. This could be modded easily.
Paralysis runes - Alright.
Seasonal foliage - Awesome.
Speedy water currents - eehhh....I don't know what this is supposed to be. but "ok". Moddable, too.
Dark dungeons - New dungeons in general are an awesome idea.
Adoption of children - Moddable. But why only adoption and not just creating one yourself through your wife. Jeesh.
Advanced home building - Awesome. Great idea.
Epic new mounts - Flying, maybe? Or is that just hax.
Fast travel portals - Why is this useful? Explain to me. I love the options it gives you now, it's more than enough. That said, it's still extra content, so sure.
Kinect dragon shouts - Cool idea. I hope Kinect can handle such a thing.
Enhanced water visuals - Moddable. In fact, it's already been done about a billion times.
Ice and fire arrows - Great, just like the water arrows. I think there should be this branche where equipping magic in one hand and a bow in another hand is an option, lowering base damage, adding an effect. Just a random brainfart.
Lycanthrope perk tree - Yes. Just yes.
Vampire imp minions - Also, great idea. I don't think this would fair well if released alone, though. It's a bit too measly for that.
Goblins - Sure. Give them some new dungeons too. I don't disagree. As long as they look good.
Spears - Cool.
Kill cams for magic - Should be a patch, not content you have to pay for.
Water arrows - Cool!

I think it started when Microsoft said no new content to the games will be provided for free, forcing companies to charge 1 dollar for it (because that is the cheaper MS accept).Astiahl said:
So, yes... Unless you are installing mods on PC, for a lot of people DLC means "pay us for some extra content".
Even better.The Artificially Prolonged said:
They should put all of that either in DLC or in the Steam workshop as mods.
That is exactly what I was thinking.ChupathingyX said:
Around half of that list I've already seen someone mod in or are at least a given to be a mod in the near future.
Maybe Bethesda should just pay the modding community for the work they have already done for them. We've already seen that the modders are better at it than they are.
Arent Falmer goblins by another name?
That was the first thing I thought of since the dragons seem more like wyverns and trolls/frost trolls seem more like Sasquatch/Yeti. Stil if they arent pathfinder's goblins I wont be able to take them seriously (or as seriously as you can take Pathfinder goblins)
I especially like the idea of building your own home. It seems like theres a lot you could do with that.
Also spears, the one thing I thought was really missing from the vast array of weapons in skyrim
I like all those ideas but most of them seem like dollar DLC at best. If added in more expansive DLC that opens up new quests Ill totally be for it.

As a console Skyrim player, I'd be eager to have everyone of these. I browse the Nexus, just seeing all of the cool mods people have made and I get jealous every time [small](that's not weird, is it? <_<)[/small]. HOWEVER, I cannot say that I would pay for these if they came by themselves. If they came packaged all together, then I might consider it, but if I have to pay separately, then no, I can live without these things.
I can see them incorporating them in much more world expanding DLC, like spears, giant mud crabs, or goblins [small](I always wondered what happened to those guys. Figured that they didn't like the cold so they stayed away from Skyrim. Thought the Falmer was kind of the alternative. A needlessly difficult alternative. :S)[/small].
By the way, I'm fully aware that this is part of Bethesda's Game Jam week. I know that there's a chance that none of this stuff will appear in the game. A guy can hope, though, right?

Did you watch the video? Oh wait, silly question.TheAftereffect said:
OP, Change your opening post, seriously... a lot of people who are unable to look into this seem to think Bethesda are doing Mini DLC again. WHICH THEY AREN'T.
Nope, falmer are elves, like Dwemre (Dwarves), Bosmer (wood elves), Dunmer (Dark Elves), Altmer (High Elves) and Orsmer (Orcs). Goblins are a different species altogether (possibly related to Ogres, since they are both barbaric races).Windcaler said:
Dragons are Dragons, TES doesn't follow standard High Fantasy rules. Trolls are essentially Yetis and Sasquatches, now that you mention it.
dragon trans mod or nothing i say
after all, who wouldn't want the option to burn Skyrim to the ground from the sky ?

*****, *****, *****. That is all this thread has. Everyone complains when they want to add something, and bitches that they are changing something. "They should have added it before it was released!" Well, they didn't, and they are now, so what is the problem? These are just ideas, it isn't what their DLC is going to be, and if you read the link, they may even be included in updates. It isn't your game, it is theirs and they are letting you play it. It is like telling a musician how his album should have been because you don't like it. I know I will get some crap of "well they are selling it, so they should make it just for me and exactly how I want it" or something. I love this game, and I'm not going to throw a fit like an 8 year old because it isn't exactly what I want. No game will be unless I make it myself.
