Bethesda On Skyrim Add-Ons: Less, More Substantial DLC Is Likely

While DLC plans for Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim aren’t entirely set in stone yet, company boss Todd Howard says the firm plans on deviating from its approach with Fallout 3 – which was graced with smaller, frequent content packs. For Skyrim, the current plan is less, more substantial DLC.
Howard likened the scale to a “expansion pack feel.”
“The Fallout 3 pace that we did was very chaotic,” Howard told AusGamers. “We did a lot of them – we had two overlapping groups – and we don’t know what we’re going to make yet, but we’d like them to be closer to an expansion pack feel.”
He added, “We don’t have any specific plans yet, but they’ve been really successful and we like making them. So right now I can say that we’d like to do less DLC but bigger ones – you know, more substantial.”
Sounds gravy. Skyrim is out November 11 on PC, Xbox 360, PS3. Read our E3 coverage of it here.
