Moving to our next adventure
Skyrim has been a labor of love for us since we started designing it in 2006. We never imagined it would become the phenomenon it has. And that is because of you, the fans. It was all of you who made it a success. We can’t thank you enough for embracing the game, spreading the word, and making it your own.
For the last year and a half we’ve been working on new content for Skyrim; from the game updates, Creation Kit, Steam Workshop, Kinect support, to DLCs. Parts of our team have also been in pre-production on our next major project, and that game is at the point where it requires the studio’s full attention to make it our biggest and best work yet.
Even though we’re moving on, we’ll still have minor updates to Skyrim as needed. We’ve invested so much of ourselves into Skyrim and will never truly say goodbye to it.
We loved hearing your stories, your in-game triumphs, and your suggestions. One thing stuck out to us through those emails, letters, and postings. And that is – video games matter. They’re as important to you as they are to us. It’s not just about entertainment, it’s about your time. And you chose to spend it with our game.
Thank you again for all your support. We hope you stay engaged in the gaming community here and elsewhere. Keep spreading the word. Games are the world’s best entertainment because they can do what other forms cannot – fill you with the wonder of exploration and the pride of accomplishment. We look forward to sharing our next adventure with you.
Until next time,
Bethesda Game Studios

I’m VERY disappointed that we won’t see more DLC for Skyrim. Dragonborn was amazing and I was very glad to see the updates that Bethesda added even for those who didn’t buy it, Hearthfire, or Dawnguard. As an Xbox 360 gamer I’m personally not looking forward to the next generation of consoles mostly because there’s nothing wrong with what I have now. Having said that, I will be forced to buy a new one simply so I can play the next game that the Bethesda team makes

No more DLC, no expansion? I have to say I am seriously disappointed.
I do look forward to the next project, but I was hoping for more Skyrim. Still, thank you Bethesda, Skyrim is a true gem and was one of the most enjoyable games I have played in recent years.
I have a feeling this is Zenimax fault, wanting to push The Elder Scrolls Online and not wanting Skyrim to steal it’s limelight. I still wont play that generic MMO mess!
Bring on Elder Scrolls VI! (Or the next Fallout)

Very disappointed with this decision. There’s been a few bug fixes but very little new content. Legendary skills (which isn’t really new content), Heathfire (very very minor DLC), Dawnguard (a small expansion) and Dragonborn (again a small expansion).
I was expecting at least 2 more small expansions and then a large one, similar to the treatment other Bethesda games got.

I’ve spent over 400 hours on Skyrim and I’m still finding new things. What an amazing game, really. Dawnguard and Dragonborn were amazing and well worth the money. I hope you guys will throw in one last DLC since Skyrim might be the last “traditional” TES game you’ll develop now that you’re moving to MMORPG.

They’re moving on to the next game (possibly Fallout 4), not abandoning the series completely. A few years from now they’ll be announcing TES VI, don’t you worry.
But this also means that there won’t be any new DLC for Skyrim. Sad, but not surprising.

the fate of your dragonborn is up to your imagination. after saving the world my dragonborn became the master of the thieves guild, and decided to live the rest of his life in a robin hood sort of manner. Staying in the shadows (after all that adventuring who can blame him!) while still making a change. As he looks back on his accomplishments, he is satiated with his life.

All one has to do is look at the content mods posted on Steam and Nexus to see the demand to expand the Elder Scrolls universe. One would hope that the next major game is the next Elder Scrolls? But surely there is a financial benefit to putting out more polished DLC’s for Skyrim.
With the PS4 coming ‘soon’ I would certainly purchase both the console and an Elder Scrolls designed for its new capabilities.

I think the plot that would make the most sense for TES 6 would involve the return of Talos in a humanoid form, this makes sense since Talos would be weakened by a lack of worship and possibly ticked, but it would be sweet to play an incarnation if talos, weakened and reborn into tge world,to gain followers again.

Just because they are finished, doesn’t mean it has all been released. It does take time to go from completion, do some bug testing, QA, and into production for release. The Dev team can move onto other things, while post-production is still doing their work.

This makes me so sad. I was really hoping for another DLC. The civil war storyline was left open, with no High King. The Thalmor are still a problem. Also, the Dragonborn was never truly recognized by the people for the savior of Skyrim that he/she is …
I am truly hoping this means that Bethesda is beginning work on the next Elder Scrolls title, to follow Skyrim. Please tell me this is so …
In any case, I love you guys and the work you do. Thanks for an awesome game. It’s inspired me and my friends to do so much new fan artwork and also I’ve gained a lot of new friends through our shared interest in ES. Yes, video games DO matter …

no, they aren’t shutting down.
they’re just allocating all their staff to their next project (very likely to be fallout 4)

This game is amazing guys.. You guys did a wonderful job of designing a world that I was, and am, able to lose myself in for hundreds of hours when the real world just wasn’t enough for me. Sure there was the DLC fiasco, but it eventually worked out… You guys should be proud.
It sucks that we won’t see bigger things for Skyrim, I was hoping to walk through those snowy arch ways to another land… But, that is what the mod community is there for! Hopefully, we will see another TES game in the future for another system that can push the envelope and allow players to travel from world to world and experience the best that those worlds have to offer. Maybe an experience that helps bring a lot of the lore together to create one ginormous game that will allow me to be lost from the real world for hundreds more hours while still not completing most of what’s out there…
Looking forward to what’s to come…

No, Bethesda is not shutting down, quit being dumb :V
It’s just the end of Skyrim. I also doubt TES6 will come so soon, Elder Scrolls isn’t Call of Duty or Assassin’s Creed, it doesn’t come out yearly and I hope it never does or it will lose its appeal FAST.
Also, whatever questions you have will most likely be answered in TES6 via books or side quests, it would be lovely to see info regarding the protag of Skyrim in 6.
Also, I hope Beth takes some of the criticism regarding Skyrim and improves it in 6. Namely, the RPG aspects…they were rather dull in Skyrim, to say the least, which took away from an otherwise immersive game.
Anyways, it’s most likely either a Fallout title, which would be wonderful to see, or perhaps a new IP? IDK.

Dear Bethesda,
You are not perfect, but you are all class. Thank you for the countless hours of adventure, from Arena to Skyrim and everything in between.
Your games are quite simply, some of the best ever made. Skyrim was a true triumph worthy of Morrowind-level praise. Nothing is without its flaws and hard choices.
While I am saddened that Dragonborn is the final chapter in the Dovakiin’s saga, it is only because you have made such an amazing game that I cannot simply let it go.
Whatever your next adventure may be (though all signs point to Fallout 4, which is great too) I wish you luck and unending success.
That being said, I have one request that I am sure you are in no position to fulfill, but I just have to ask it anyway: can you please take a trip over to Zenimax Online Studios and crack some skulls together? They desperately need some Bethesda magic if they have a soul’s chance in Coldharbour of creating a worthy MMORPG for the Elder Scrolls mantle.
I pity them, honestly, because without your direct influence, their chances of success are almost nonexistent. They need a good friendly slap across the face, to wake up to the reality that their game needs to be delayed, and almost entirely revamped from the ground up. While their audience seems to clamor for just this, it would help to come from the very people that made it possible for them to make this game in the first place. By Azura, do not let them fail.
Your fan since 1994, faithfully,
-Calimah

…That’s just not Elder Scrolls. I don’t want to know just about Skyrim or be stuck in it’s lands forever, there’s the whole of Tamriel to see, why just stay in Skyrim?
And as said before, any remaining issues will most likely will be solved in TES6, either through lore material like books, or as actual plot material, side or main quests IDK.
madbod

I don’t think that’s how they do things in Beth, each TES is a stand alone, new game and imo that’s the way it should be.
Something went wrong – dlc delays means next gen console clashes?
So the SI scale expansion we were possibly awaiting where we get the chance to defeat the Thalmor and get some payback, is not happening.
tbh if it was april 1st i would say this is a huge Karstag sized piece of trolling

Thank all of you for creating such an tremendous game. Skyrim has been such an amazing experience it is hard to describe how much fun I have had playing this game for the past year and a half. The world of Skyrim is just beyond incredible, it is almost a work of art in my opinion. You guys knocked this one out of the park. Even after all this time I still find myself stopping in the game world and looking around in awe. It’s just beautiful out there. thanks for all the hard work and the late nights it took to make this. Your fans truly appreciate it.
While I am saddened to hear you guys have to move on, I am also very excited to hear the next project (please be Fallout 4) is in the works. Other game companies don’t even come remotely close to delivering the quality experiences that you guys deliver on a consistent basis. Thank you for all of your hard work, I can’t say how much we appreciate it. I prefer a bethesda game over any other medium of entertainment, period. I can’t say enough about you guys, just thank you so effing much.
Your faithful fan,

While Skyrim was amazing and a really well-built game that I will be playing for years to come, I am disappointed that PC players will lose out on the same level of support that your past games have received due to consoles.
In what world does it make sense to ensure compatibility with decade old hardware? I really hope you aren’t even considering compatibility with the current gen of hardware for your next release. The next gen is a year or two off, but it will be worth the wait.

I can understand the jump. The fiasco on the PS3 created by the studio’s ineptness with the system is just a good a reason as any to call it quits now since they got the 3 DLC’s out, put out a huge bug fix (that covers a sliver of them, thanks for never fixing item placement btw), plus the new consoles are coming and the dev kits are out there to work with. Just makes sense to move people into the new project that will be on that console.
Well, thanks Beth Studios for making another good game. With all of it’s flaws, it’s still pretty good. Looking forward to Fallout 4, though you should really leave it to Obsidien imo.

I hope eso isn’t this “project” and there will be no elder scrolls VI.

The hardware is a decade old, the game shouldn’t have even been released on it. But that’s not Bethesda’s fault, Sony tried to future proof their hardware with an architecture that is not able to handle modern cross-platform games as well as they thought it would be able to.
That’s good about the next gen being so soon, I honestly haven’t heard much in terms of release dates.

I wish betehsda would answer this.
Why would they just leave skyrim with the dragonborn dlc?
And yes i am a bit dissapointed as many,But its becouse i as the others love skyrim,We love the elder scrolls. And seeing skyrim ending with dragonborn dlc is dissapointing. I mean didnt bethesda think of what they could do with the last dragonborn? And what about the Thalmor and the civil war? What about the new king of skyrim? And as other have said there is hints with the last dragonborn filling the last letters of Lorkhan. Would be amazing to have an Talos based DLC.
But now bethesda just left skyrim,They have already made their descision
And I am honestly Dissapointed. We probably will get answers in the next game which i am not a fan of -_-,
oblivion ended with shivering isles,We got the fate of the champion of cyrodiil. Skyrim has too many unanswered questions. And ending it like this is a mistake.
They could have done soo much with the DLCs for skyrim..
Its so sad. But we cant do anything about it… its bethesdas choice….

If you read the article, they said they are done with Skyrim. They are moving on to a new game. Which means they are moving on to a new game, not shutting down. The next adventure will not be Elder Scrolls 6. Don’t expect Elder Scrolls 6 for at least 3 years

Was kind of hoping for more Skyrim DLC but certainly wasn’t expecting it; you have spent a long time supporting Skyrim since it came out. Love all you do guys and looking forward to going on another adventure with you. Really hoping for Fallout 4, as I’m sure many are here. Thank you sooo much for not listening to caving to industry trends and continuing to put out super huge single player games. Paid off, didn’t it

Easily predictable due to the way they did it for Oblivion. Pretty much the exact same scheme. One small DLC, one large DLC and a series of updates and addons.
I would have preferred 5 medium DLCs like Fallout but what are you gonna do?

Freeing hunters from Hircine’s realm can’t happen because a lot of them like it there. Disappearance of dwarves happened hundreds of years before Elder Scrolls 1, which would be almost a thousand years before skyrim. Winterhold got swallowed be the sea 160 ago when red mountain erupted in morrowind.

Well Bethesda, Thank You.
Although I was stuck in anticipation for a few months (I own Skyrim on a PS3) I at least got those DLC’s to add to my Skyrim experience. You guys strived to bring us gamers an amazing OpenWorld RPG and an amazing gaming experience over all and have succeded. I have put many, many, many hours into Skyrim as well as Oblivion, Morrowind, Daggerfall, Arena even and you guys never cease to amaze me. I have enjoyed playing Skyrim, as I actually feel a bond with my character because I have chosen paths and preferences that I myself would have chosen if in fact I was in the Elder Scrolls World. I am sad to see this article as I have enjoyed to see Skyrim’s DLC pop up and become available, but I have respected and trusted your decisions in the past and will do the same now. I look forward to possibly seeing future Elder Scrolls games as well as an addition to the Fallout series.
I respect you, Bethesda. I have shared this adventure with you and I will continue onward. I have appreciated your hard work and I want you to know that you have at least one die hard fan out there that understands and supports you.
Thank You, again. -A Fan

I’ve been having a blast with Skyrim since the day it came out, even though the DLC:s leaves more to be desired. I’m going to be very disappointed if Dragonborn was the last expansion for Skyrim.

As a causal gamer, Skyrim is by far my favorite game to date logging well over 200 hours. Like others, there are certain features I’d love to see, but I’m happy with the game. Seriously though, I’d rather buy more Skyrim DLC than play half of the games I’ve bought since it came out. Give me the ability to bring just one person in for multiplayer and I’m set for another 200 hours.

A little comment regarding your next big adventure:
I’ve just read about an interview with Pete Hines in which he mentioned two things regarding your future projects:
1. No plans for multiplayer.
I FULLY agree with that. I’m looking forward to get more great single-player experiences from you.
2. The possible integration of social features.
IF you do that, please make that optional!
To me a good single player game is somewhat like watching a good movie or reading a good book. I want to enjoy the experience WITHOUT being disturbed by real or virtual friends all the time.
And I really don’t want to see the integration of useless social features to become reason and excuse for an always-online requirement!

the social features is just stated because of the social features built into ps4 (facebook/social media integration, video capture/sharing, integrated messenger etc) most likely they’ll just be on sony’s end and not bethesda’s. that said, there will probably be a lot of social features with ESO though that technically is zenimax not bethesda

I can’t believe Bethesda is leaving Skyrim unfinished. They’ve yet to conclude the War in Skyrim. And I’m sick and tired of Whiterun looking like a disaster, no one even thinks about rebuilding. I want to kill the opposing faction’s Captains in their camps, and I want to feel like all the work I did and the choices I made have made a difference. Which is not the case. I even tried posting a more detailed comment, but hey. More glitches! ‘Cause it’s not appeared on the comments yet.

Also Its a huge shame you are moving on from Skyrim, I thought you guys said you were going to release at least 3 major DLC (hearth-fire doesn’t really count) there is still so much more you guys can make, new weapon types to bring out, new magic to explore, well in any case I how you use a improved Skyrim Engine with the new fallout (dual handed guns!!)

While I wait for Fallout 4 with bated breath, I never believed Skyrim was finished. I held out so much hope that the status quo would break and one more main DLC was waiting in the wings to give it the conclusion that Shivering Isles gave to Oblivion. It’s saddening, to be honest. I suppose now all I can do is buy the game on PC when the GoTY comes out and start modding like crazy. Thanks Bethesda. It was a ton of fun, regardless.

Yes, you don’t find out what happened to the Nerevarine (Morrowind) or the Champion of Cyrodiil (Oblivion) until the game that came after them. The DLC in them are much like the DLC in Skyrim, just extra adventures that don’t really answer any big questions. We won’t find out what the Dragonborn did with the rest of his/her life until TES6, which won’t come out for around 3-4 years. (there’s usually a 5-ish year break between TES games)
All of the TES games are meant to be open-ended and not really have an “end”, because they’re supposed to feel like you’re living a small chunk of a hero’s life. Not all stories come to such an abrupt end and not all questions are going to be fully answered, and that’s the beauty of the TES games. They keep you wanting to come back for more so you can find out what happened to the open-ended finish to your champion’s life.
Think of the series as epic chapters of a history book. History doesn’t follow a formula in it’s timeline, why should TES?

I remember the day my boyfriend and I went to the midnight launch of Skyrim. There were so many people that we have never met before and yet we share a common love for Bethesda games that it broke down barriers. We laughed, traded stories and discussed many things that night. One of the highlights of the night was when the first person received their copy of Skyrim. He ran throughout the mall, screaming triumphantly and waving his game above his head. Then everyone joined him, clapping excitedly. There were so many people that day and it is a night I will remember for the rest of my life. I await the next game Bethesda will give us with anticipation and joy.

Thanks for another breathtaking and transporting game, Bethesda. Morrowind got me into role-playing, and I bought a 360 just so I could play Oblivion when it came out. I’ve never regretted a second of the time I have spent wandering in the virtual worlds you created; it’s truly been a pleasure.
Best of luck on your next project. I don’t play the Fallout games, (I tried but just can’t stand post-apocalyptic settings. We have enough ugliness in real life for me.) but I know lots of people will be happy if you are working on the next title in that series. I will cross my fingers and hope for an Elder Scrolls VI in the years to come.
Meanwhile, I guess I will return to waiting for Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Hello, I’d like to suggest something to the Skyrim team! I want to bring to your attention that your game, “Skyrim,” Which you refer to as your “love labor,” is unfinished. Before you drop it, I suggest you conclude the Faction questline.
1. Whiterun is STILL destroyed. It’s an eyesore, why are none of the NPC’s thinking about rebuilding and clearing the rubble?
2. Why can’t we kill the opposing faction’s Captains in their Camps?
3. Why doesn’t a single NPC feel like they are working towards the future of Skyrim? None even HINT at advancing the story.
4. It feels like all my choices and hard work have paid off to only a few things. Those few things include: Regret of beginning, because now Whiterun is an eyesore and I wish I hadn’t progressed so I wouldn’t have to look at it like this ALL the time, and I feel like I was a beta tester.
5. The faction story feels unfinished. I do not feel like I made any sort of impact upon the world. All that has changed is that Whiterun and Solitute are both an absolute mess. Ulfric/Tulius still sit in their towers, content to feel like nothing has changed. There’s nothing that makes me feel like I made history in Skyrim. Not a single NPC even hints towards the betterment or advancement of the country whatsoever.
6. Enemy faction remnants still walk about like they own the place. They act like the war is not yet lost, and this is incredibly annoying.
7. Did we do all that work just to put Jarls who support our own faction into power? Because I forget that they even exist.
8. It’s incredibly aggravating that we can “complete” your Faction questline in one sitting with minimal effort and be forced to realize that the politics of Skyrim remain stagnant thereon. We need to be able to at least attend the Moot and vote for a new High King or Queen and resolve the issue at hand.
Not to mention the “Bard’s College.”
Are we the Janitor or something? How are we a bard if we’d sooner swing a lute at something than play it? Seriously, this feels broken and unfinished as well. We help plagiarize some old poet, butcher his work, and fetch a book. “Congradulations! You’re now the Bard’s College’s best errand boy! Oh, wait… you wanted to BE a bard? Nonsense, you can’t learn how to strum the strings three or four times tunelessly like every other NPC, but thanks for your effort! We’ll send you a letter if we need anything else from another generic dungeon!”
I’m sorry for the condescending demeanor, but I’m infuriated that you are getting away with selling an unfinished game and people are calling it a masterpiece. Please think about fixing at least the Faction questline before you leave Skyrim to become the next carrion pile of the gaming world.

So this is how the Dovahkiin Saga ends? With Dovahkiin being a servant of Herma-Mora? Nerevar defeated a daedric prince and The Hero of Kvatch became one. Dovahkiin needs an ending just as legendary. Please at least make a Thalmor dlc before you move on from Skyrim.

That’s a damn shame! It would have been great to have the dovahkiin enter the book of legend like how the Nerevarine did with the corpus disease and a supposed journey to Akavir never to be heard of again, and the Champion of Cyrodiil taking on the mantle of Mad God.
I hope you’ll be able to retain the magic of exploration in TES 6 after TESO is released.
Up to 5 years for another Fallout and probably 8-9 years TES 6?! Man, I can’t count how many replays of previous TES and FO games that’ll be!

I began my TES experience a little late with oblivion. After becoming completely immersed in that world, collecting every item, meticulously decorating my player homes all on the console and then buying a pc copy and boot camping my Mac to run it, I visited the previous installments in the TES world. I’m very excited for ESO so I can further explore the world that I’ve come to know and love. However, I was sorely disappointed with Skyrim and the few, hastily produced dlc. Skyrim had gorgeous landscapes, epic mountains shrouded in mist, beautiful flowing rivers and harsh tundras. These breathtaking landmarks lacked only on thing before causing a full on heart attack: color, saturation.
Still, Skyrim stole hours from my life and caused reality to be genuinely unsatisfying because I couldn’t vaporize dragons with lightning.
All of the color problems were bearable. I do, however, have one problem that I just can’t escape from. There was absolutely not enough dlc. Hearthfire was basically house armor, dawnguard and dragonborn were immaculate but ending the story there, not a smart move. There is such an expansive world to take advantage of, so many mechanics that could be improved. Why is the white gold tower in the game as a landmark? Why is there a road to morrowind that is blocked by an invisible wall? Same with the road that leads towards Highrock? Are these simply aesthetics? Some sort of market to show we exist in what is a much larger world?
I just want one, chapter ending expansion. Something that truly makes you feel like a demigod. After all, it is speculated that the player is Talos reincarnated (the oversoul and all that jazz).
TES is by far my favorite franchise. I just don’t want to see skyrim end on this note. I need on last thing that leaves me saying “Ah, that really was an epic, well rounded adventure”.
Guys, for the love of Talos, don’t leave us diehard fans hanging with dragonborn. We don’t want it to end there.

He said clearly that they are just no longer creating DLC for Skyrim. This is most likely because they are putting their full resources into Fallout 4 and/or The Elder Scrolls VI. While I am disappointed, Dawnguard and Dragonborn were very good, especially Dragonborn. It was priced the same as Dawnguard and had dramatically more content. That plus them giving you the ability to reset your perks, plus the additions in the 1.9 patch made me very happy. That, plus soon I’ll have Elder Scrolls Online to hold me off until the inevitable part 6!

Whether it’s Fallout or a new IP, I’m really interested to see what Bethesda will do with the beefier hardware, and as always I look forward to a new Elder Scrolls title.

Makes me remember all the talk of DLC being more like expansions, and having more meat on “them.” So… “them” referred to Dragonborn, huh? Dawnguard was a Fallout 3 style DLC pack, then we got one expansion in the vein of what was promised.
On the topic, at least Fallout 3 got a DLC that answered some of the questions left at the end of the game, no such luck here, eh?
I’m sad to see how far the company is drifting from the love and attention to detail a game like Morrowind had. Oh well, I’ll still probably buy whatever you guys make next.

I feel jipped out of all the money I sunk into this game.
I had such high hopes for the DLC, I saw maybe a DLC concerning the Aldmeri Dominion and what I could do to destroy them as Dragonborn, maybe usher in a new era of peace.
Now, it’s just a pipe dream. So now the Dragonborn just simply stops when he/she has completed the quests for either side in the war? Why doesn’t the Dragonborn take on the Aldmeri Dominion in a final showdown?
They have THE DRAGONBORN who by the end of Dragonborn DLC has become the strongest Dragonborn in history and he/she DOESNT decide to fight against the aldmeri dominion? We don’t get to maybe lead Skyrim into a new era of prosperity and see what becomes of the dragonborn? This decision makes the civil war a complete WASTE of a quest line.
2 DLC is not enough, it is NOT ENOUGH Bethesda. I will not be sinking money into your future products and this is coming from the biggest Fallout 3/NV and Skyrim Fan this side of the states.
Skyrim is… and always will be, an unfinished game for me.
It’s not worth shelling the money into if it is and in my opinion it is unfinished.
“One thing stuck out to us through those emails, letters, and postings. And that is – video games matter. They’re as important to you as they are to us. It’s not just about entertainment, it’s about your time. And you chose to spend it with our game.”
And I am sorry I spent 2000 hours on your game, now that I know it is an unfinished product and will never be finished.
Important to you as much as they are to us? Bull.
I have played close to 3000 hours on both Fallout 3 and NV (individually) and it took that long to become bored of those games, I don’t touch them anymore. Skyrim was my big hope for a game that would never get old, dreaming of such high adventures that your team would be coming up with next.
Now I am shattered. My dreams for this wonderful game are now gone. I would’ve been content if you had come out with the same amount of DLC as you did for Oblivion, or even Fallout.
There was such untapped potential and now you’re moving onto ESO which will fail horribly in my opinion and Dishonored, which while a wonderful game PALES in comparison to the kind of game Skyrim COULD be if you put just a little more work into it.
I know losing my money doesn’t hurt your company any, but you won’t be getting more of it from me. You won’t be sung in praise as I have sung about your fallout series and Skyrim.
This is the day, the song of the Dragonborn came to a crashing and abrupt halt.

I love Skyrim, and I was totally ready to pour more money into it. Don’t you want my money??!!?! The game is great and has been a job well done, but. . . I feel like a lot of the storylines lacked depth. Like you make decisions but they were never really “fixed in time” excpet for killing Alduin (for now anyways). Its cool that we get our own outcome but, I don’t know.

Bethesda,
I love all of your games, Elder Scrolls and Fallout, and Skyrim was a fantastic game. That said, I really am disappointed with you guys. I’ll easily excuse the issues with the PS3, but when you get down to it you guys only released one DLC akin to what you boasted Skyrim would have. Dawnguard was a nice add-on, but ultimately not really fully realized, and it fell short in many ways of what fans expected. Hearthfire was nice, not a true DLC really, but nice. Dragonborn though was the sort of huge and epic DLC fans were promissed. But this, on top of still day one issues that have not been patched, is disappointing. I think all the fans really want is one more GREAT DLC, just to wrap up some loose ends and give us feel as to what the conclusion to the Dragonborn’s story was and this just comes as very abrupt blow.
I’m sorely disappointed and am doubting my trust in you guys right now, and I think you could do Skyrim and the fans better.
That said, I love you guys and wish you the best of luck with you next title.

Bethesda game studios is not developing ESO or Dishonored. ESO is Zenimax online and Dishonored is Arkane Studios. Bethesda is moving onto what is probabl Fallout 4. While I am surprised and slightly disappionted that the potential for skyrim will never truly be realised, I’m sure there is a good reason for it. For example, it may be that by the time they finished another dlc, the new consoles would be out and it would be counter productive to both the next generation of consoles and to their future games. Yes, it sucks, but sometimes the industry and the future of the company have to come first.

Thanks to you bethesda, for offering us once again an amazing World to explore and to experience.
I understand your decision to move on, Because life is Always progress. Nonetheless it would be a very Kind gesture to Maybe have some small Team apart from your Main Team, just working on delivering some small DLC’s, Maybe converted mods to the consoles Because they don’t have the ability to get them
Just a Suggestion, but I’m Sure there will be still many People buying those
All in all Thanks, and Looking forward to your next Blockbuster on next Gen

@ sajirou, you’re obviously the “biggest fan this side of the states” since you just wrote a huge fuck you note too the people you’re supposedly huge fans of. Skyrim is an awesome game, and although it has flaws, it will still be enough to keep real fans playing for years to come. Bethesda doesn’t OWE us anymore dlc, they already gave us 3 Vertu good ones. We can all wish for more, but if they do everything in skyrim that COULD be done, they would never have time to advance other projects and they would run out of ideas for a next game. The developer kits for the next generation of consoles are out now and I for one would rather see them work on an amazing next gen game than continue support for a game that’s a year and a half old. Thanks for the awesome game Bethesda, and don’t listen to these assholes that think it isn’t worth the money, because I would’ve paid twice s much for skyrim if I had to. Other than you’re previous games, I’ve never found a game that took me 800+ hours to get bored of

Okay, I swear I heard some that they promised 5 large DLCs. I feel it’s strange that they cut it sort so soon, considering the length of Fallout 3 and New Vegas’s DLC lives. However, I suppose that public interest for Skyrim has certainly been diminishing, and the masses (myself included) are wetting their collective pants for Fallout 4. While I wish Skyrim could have had a little longer life or a more appropriate swan song and conclusion, I understand their decision and their need to focus more people on a more demanded newer project. See you all in the Wasteland.

Everything is wrong with your console. Consoles are hopelessly outdated, and have been dragging down PC for years. Many former console developers have actually made exclusive games for PC because consoles were a complete nightmare. Xbox and PS3 are at their utter limits, you simply cannot squeeze an inch more performance out of them. These next gen consoles will be 10-15 times more powerful than your current ones, and they will STILL only be low-mid range PC’s. These things will be a god send, and should have been out years ago. They will finally let us PC gamers get at least a bit closer to what our hardware and can really handle, and the improvement you will see as a console player will be positively mind numbing. These new consoles will get you closer to PC gaming than consoles have EVER been, and trust me when I say the difference is unbelievable.

Wait, seriously Bethesda? That is incredibly disappointing. So we’re just left off working for Hermaeus Mora? So basically in the time of Skyrim, we’ve killed the emperor, the civil war and dragons left Skyrim weakened, vampires are running around (in my game at least), and so what? We can just assume that the are going to overrun Tamriel? You couldn’t have left a huge hole in the whole story to this game. No one wants to wait til the next game to find out what’s happening as practically everything in the current one was pointing to a second Great War. You made it blatantly obvious that it was coming. And then you just leave us all hanging on that? I’ve been a fan of your games for over a decade and this feels like a travesty. Fallout NV did it right, with everything pointing to a showdown between the two couriers, Skyrim was doing the same damn thing with the Aldmeri Dominion. And then just nothing? Oh, what about Nocturnal owning my soul if I decide to finish the thieves guild quests? Seriously, you could have done so much more with this game, you know it, I know it, and the whole Skyrim community knows it. But you’re a money hungry company like the rest and realize that DLCs for a 2 year old game just won’t cut it for you. So it’s time to jump ship and move on to the next forever unfinished product.
As such, I won’t be buying any of your future games, solely because I refuse to sink money into an unfinished product that has been unfinished since its launch. Sure the loss of my money won’t hurt you, but maybe the idea of you losing long time fans over what feels like rushed products would be a wake up call to you. Sadly, it doesn’t feel like it will.
By the way, Patch 1.9 makes my game (360) freeze about once every hour. How about you fix that crap? I can safely say its this patch as I would rarely experience freezes before I downloaded it, and of course I can’t just go back to the last patch.
Seriously disgusting Bethesda.

Bethesda has much bigger plans for the Aldmeri Dominion, and these such plans could not be fit into Skyrim or the Dovahkiin’s time.
And why would the Dovahkiin attack the Aldmeri Dominion anyways? Dovahkiin is not of political power, how the heck is he going to gather a army against the strongest political force in Tamriel?

This is, quite honestly, the worst news I have heard so far this year. No Redguard, no Thalmor expansion, no more content. Done, over, just like that.
I go to Skyrim and Cyrodil and Morrowind when I want to escape the real world and other people, to step into an immersive solitary existence, and be the lone hero. I don’t want to play Elder Scrolls with other players, in an implausible world where powerful questing adventurers outnumber ordinary folks, where my character is just another nothing-special amongst the thronging thousands of “heroes” all to-ing and fro-ing across the map. I have tried that many times, in many permutations, in many games, and it holds no attraction for me.
I’m not saying the MMO will be good or bad, as far as such things go, simply I have zero interest in it regardless. I hope, therefore, that, however the MMO turns out, Bethesda will later continue the tradition of immense, immersive SINGLE PLAYER worlds that we love so much and not turn their back on it in favour of this new, much less unique direction.

Also I think I speak for everyone when I say we want references to The Last Dragonborn and The Nerevarine in the next elder scrolls. The Nerevarine apparently went to Akavir and the Champion of Cyrodiil became Sheogorath. All of us are curious of the fate of the Dovahkiin especially since his power should be godlike after absorbing countless dragons and Miraak.

Its a shame the massive area south west of falkreath isn’t being used , a bit concerned that the City of Dragonstar has not been added im hoping you have room for one more dlc down the track .
As for fallout series whislt I love it m id prefer if Bethesda game studios themselves created a whole new saga , im sure it would provide a test of resourses but it will be a breath of fresh airm challenge yourselves to create a space and 1st person terrain RPG where you quell an invasion on the ground in 1st person then hop in you purchasable craft fly out into the atmosphere mopping up enemy sattilites then do space missions obiting other planets a bit like colony wars used to do .
OR get this Brother GStaff create the RPG 1st person sequel to lobotomys Exhumed (powerslave in USA) m now that’s a challenge and it will sell by the bucketloads ,
So yea create some totally different and set the industry alight once again fallouts good but a little tired .
best of luck

I’ve started the game so many times lived and watched my character grow, it can’t end now. It may be just a business to you and a way of making money but think of the ones that takes over from you and uses your creation enriches it with their own creativity are you gonna just abandon them for other money making opportunities Skyrim has a following like no other don’t leave it unfinished it needs an end before starting something new

You want suggestions? Okay.
In the next game:
Make it so dungeons don’t funnel you to the bottom and then spit you out the top every time. Let players explore, put neat items in odd locations, encourage discovery over achievements. Going to the bottom of a dungeon and fighting a levelled boss over and over is unfulfilling, take notes on what Oscuro did to Oblivion and what Obsidian did to New Vegas.
Actually, on the note of New Vegas: More Dialogue. Let players select topics to talk to NPC’s about from a wide list like back in Morrowind. Actually, just look at what Morrowind and New Vegas did better, and remember to make maps and options varied, not funnels.
Discovery is the backbone of TES. It’s not missing in Skyrim, but it could be better, and hopefully whatever evolves from Skyrim has the higher quality of level design, Item Placement and NPC Interaction that Morrowind and New Vegas have. Hand placed will beat levelled and procedurally generated, every time.

I am just wondering why you guys didnt announce that dragonborn was the last DLC When you announced it,Why wait in in 4 months until telling us you are done with skyrim. And why comment and say no comment on that. When you clearly knows that there wont be another DLC.
And i just dont get it why you would leave skyrim with dragonborn. there is so much potential for great dlcs for skyrim,such as choosing a new high king,mantling Talos,civil war and about the thalmor.
I mean why have dlcs which is complete unrelated to the base game when you could give answers to so many unanswered questions
I am sorry if i sound too rude. I just dont get it,I Love skyrim. and elder scrolls is really my favourite game series.

Everything BeakieHelmet said is right on for me. Skyrim was big and beautiful, and no one in their right mind could ever say there wasn’t enough content — but the depth of the dialogue or exploration in games like Morrowind and New Vegas were sorely missed with the linear, monotone questing in Skyrim.
I wonder if Bethesda would ever consider having Obsidian make an Elder Scrolls game between V and VI? I’m sure it’s already been considered.

Bittersweet post, but I do want to thank Bethesda for the great job on Skyrim! We need more developers with such passion for creating incredible gaming worlds.

Still, it’s one of my all time favorite, I followed all of its development up to today, pre-ordered, I still have my map on my office wall. Thanks for doing such great games Bethesda, but please try to work on your engine’s flaws, some stuff have been annoying since Oblivion and even in Fallout 3.
Also try to go more Morrowind next time and also better dungeons, I just grew tired of kicking Falmers in the nuts over and over. And more colors, less snow, Oblivion felt like a teletubies show compared to Skyrim.
Now I guess I’ll redownload Oblivion from Steam and try to get it to run on my Windows 7 64bits machine!

Not string your fans along for months, hinting at new DLC only to go and do something dumb like this… Cause that’s what this is… Dumb… You guys need to reexamine your PR personal.

All good things must come to an end. Why are you so mad? They’ve released 9 updates and 3 good add ons over the last year. That’s better post launch support for a single player game than most. They even said in the blog that they had to stop developing for Skyrim because the next big game just left pre production.
tl;dr you aren’t entitled to get skyrim dlc, bethesda makes other games besides skyrim

I was a bit shocked when I read this, but I completely understand why you all moved on. I wish everyone at Bethesda good luck with their next project (coughFallout4cough) and hopefully it’ll be awesome.
Can’t wait for the next main series TES game. (4 more years if history repeats itself)I’d like it to take place in Elsewyr, a few years after the events of Skyrim. The desert/tropical rainforest environment would be new and there would be a lot of potential for developing the Aldmeri Dominion plotline. (If you didn’t know, Elsewyr’s a part of the Dominion) Maybe the khajiit traders from Skyrim could make a cameo.

Bethesda, do not scrap whatever work you had for skyrim. We just want to finish an awesome game that we the customers bought. You guys made an insane game but it would be a mistake to leave us hanging. Treyarch and IW get away with it because they are huge corporations, but your company is above that. I don’t care if it costs $30. Finish what you started. Make one more dlc to end it all. It’s the least you guys could do for the customers.

Maybe we can still get some of the assets from the game jam that were not included in any dlc as a kind of modders’ resource? I’m talking about the verlet surfaces, spear animations, the hanging platforms, etc.
I can understand if this never happens, as they probably never got close to any kind of release stage. Thanks for letting us know what you guys are up to, and good luck on the next project.

Not cool, Bethesda. This is the kind of thing I would expect to come out of EA. I’m am really unimpressed by this. You are leaving far too many loose ends simply because it is too much of a headache to implement it on PS3. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves. We all know you guys had plans on making more DLC. It’s blatantly obvious in the new loading screens, locked dialogue options only visible by using the creation kit, and the copyright actions taken. You can spew out the BS claims all you want, but anyone with half a mind could see you were planning on making more DLC to help finish the story and give a ggod ending. I just expected so much more out of you, Bethesda. If you hadn’t flushed us down the toilet and given us the short end of the stick, I wouldn’t feel this way. I literally couldn’t believe it when I read that you weren’t going to release any new DLC because I had far too much confidence in you, and I thought you would never do a thing like this. I guess I was wrong. I guess chocking up $105 for the game and all the DLCs isn’t enough of an incentive for you to finish what you started. I won’t forget this the next time I check Steam and see a new Elder scrolls game released. Thousands of other disappointed consumers won’t forget it, either.

Actually I feel we got 1 half decent DLC, 1 DLC that was an afterthought of culmination of the work they put into Skyrim that they showed at DICE , and 1 DLC that is equivalent to a fan-made mod.
Even with all three of those DLC’s combined, they by NO means equate to Shivering Isles. IMO they should’ve just made one expansion pack instead of two small DLC’s and one add-on. Fallout 3 got more than twice that amount of DLC. I’m pretty disappointed that this is all of TES we will be getting for god knows how many years (TESO does not count).

Lets hope the next elder scrolls game is built with a brand new engine from the ground up.
The engine that has been in use for the elder scrolls game is getting pretty dated.
Also bring back some of the exploration and discovery that morrowind had. Removing levelled loot and enemies would be great. I miss walking into a cave and getting one shotted, i actually had to turn back and level up a bit before trying the cave again.
Made dungeons seem like they had some sort of level progression to them as opposed to just being “another dungeon”

As you can see from the vast amounts of complaints alot of people were kind of hoping for one more good DLC before you guys moved on. I’m a bit disappointed if that’s the case, Skyrim still has a great deal of meat left on it. Here’s hoping you got one more DLC pack in line before heading out. Go out with a bang instead of a whisper.
Of course my disappointment with calling it quits on Skyrim is overshadowed by my excitement with what big project you have in mind now. I wonder what it could be? *ACHOO*Fallout 4*SNORT….sorry bad allergies =D.

More often than not, Bethesda is setting the high water mark for DLC. Which is what makes this so very disappointing. It’s not that we’re entitled to it, but rather that Skyrim is begging for one more grand adventure (I, for one, would love to take the Thalmor to task). I get the sense that this wasn’t the master plan the whole time – that something was in the works but scheduling changes derailed the efforts. Why else would they not have announced Dragonborn as the last DLC?
It’s entirely possible that people within Bethesda are sad to not see one more Skyrim DLC as well. Still, the only reason I am capable of feeling so disappointed is precisely because Skyrim is the amazing game it is. Thank you for that, Bethesda. I look forward to the next adventure.

They did everything to make the game amazing, the initial release was great and they did their best effort to keep improving the game. Sure minor updates could mean that they still add some content. Everyone remembers the arrow and spell killcam.
The game is amazing and extra DLC would make it a hassle instead of enjoyable. Of course people want more, but if there is a fallout 4 coming, i just hope they would not make it feel like Skyrim, just like fallout 3 felt like oblivion.
Skyrim was everything i hoped for and the level cap removal adds another dimension to this, as well as the legendary mode, giving me that morrowind feel back.
I congratulate you guys on making my dream reality of visiting the Nord home land.
And i hope it isn’t the end of the Elder Scrolls saga. (With the release of TESO)

The Elder Scrolls VI: Akavir
The most recent Doom game was Resurrection of Evil and that was in 2005, 8 years ago I think Doom 4 will release next then Fallout 4 then Akavir. They have been working on Akavir since Skyrim was in the “finished” stage.

1) TESV is obviously one of the greatest games of all time, and it is certainly not by chance. With or without the DLCs, it is perfect, especially on a decent PC rig.
2) It would be hard to top DBorn with another DLC (of equal or greater scale/size). It’s even weird for the character, like Frodo and the gang heading back to the Shire. It’s ok that there won’t be any more official content, I think.
3) As sad as the realisation is, you could really end TES here. Time is supposed to end, anyway. Where’s Kirkbride? TES VI: Atmora? But who goes, and when? Was Mephala behind it?
4) The message from BGS is great, because it encapsulates all the right attitudes: everyone’s time is special, you can be who you want to be, always a reason to be optimistic!
5) I’m wondering if the team is upset to lose their baby to the ESO project. Surely most of the ESO team are new to TES. So I’m just wondering how the originals are feeling…or maybe they’re sick of sweet rolls and stupid forum comments.
Cheers,

This is very disappointing,
#1. After Dragonborn there is still so many more questions. Thalmar? New High King? These could easily be made into DLC/add-ons
#2 Oblivion had Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles, also about 7 other minor add-ons. So why cut short with Skyrim?
#3 Patch 1.9 really didn’t fix a whole lot. There is still a number of issues that would be nice to be fixed, example it would be nice to be able to upgrade horned scaled armor. How about upgrading silver weapons? Craft certain weapons and armors that should be allowed. How about followers equipping better bows you give them?
#4 A shout out to the PC modders who obviously work harder than Bethesda with modding and patching and get no credit from Bethesda. Maybe Besthesda should consider some of the work the modders made and sell it as DLC/add-ons
#5 If this “adventure” is to push all resources to help with ESO, it’s a stupid decision. ESO will be another WOW end of story. If all the resources for Elder Scrolls are pulled towards that it will be the downfall of a great storyline and gaming community (elder scrolls) Look what happened when Lucasarts took so much freaking times, money and resources toward The Old Republic, so much put in for so little gained. And now Lucasarts is being shut down….. Think about it…
#6 Don’t get me wrong Skyrim was a amazing game content wise and Lore wise. I became a Elder Scrolls lover and fan since I first played Oblivion. I don’t say that I’m a fan of Skyrim I say I’m a fan of Elder Scrolls. I feel that if certain things arnt handled are fixed within Skyrim before marking it off it will put a bad name on Bethesda. I understand needing to move on from Skyrim but at least do it right.

All the hype with the CE when Skyrim was almost released got my hope so freaking high just to get crushed after just playing the game for like 5 minutes. Seriously, it’s just like Morrowind all over again, the improvement seems minimal. I wish i could see a Bethesda game with Assasin’s Creed level of animation before i die. That would be fantastic!

Actually quite angry to find that Bethesda Game Studios have announced no more Skyrim DLC’s. Kinda feels like they’re just abandoning the story. I mean with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion the Hero of Kavatch’s story ended when he became a Deadric Lord, but in Skyrim were left with no High King, no conclusion to the war on the Aldmeri Dominion, and no conclusion to the Dragonborn’s story. Cop out much…
‘So with Skyrim’s future in a state of flux and war just on the horizon, the Dragonborn decided he just couldn’t face it anymore and opened a market stall selling shovels in Solstheim, you know… coz of all the ash’.

Well, I’ve really enjoyed playing Skyrim, and I will continue to do so for a long time (I still play Oblivion, as many do). I’m glad I invested in a decent gaming PC, as I can also enjoy mods for years to come, as well as creating them myself. Stop complaining people: how do you think fans of the older games felt when told they would get no more content? Probably very similar to how you feel, but look at what we ended up with: in my opinion, the most incredibly huge, content filled, beautiful, interesting and exciting game ever made. It’s nowhere near goodbye to Skyrim for me, and I can’t wait to see what BethSoft has in store for us next!

I have to agree with Not A Happy Camper on several levels. On this end anyway, the announcement of your intention to end any future development of Skyrim seems suspiciously abrupt.
Listen, truth is I’m not a big-time diverse gamer like a lot of my peers on this blog. There’s been few games that I’ve deemed worthwhile as to devote my time to. I play on my son’s Xbox 360 (which I’ve come to realize is truly limited). I have see how incredible this game is on a PC (drool). I really do want expand into that realm.
Let me just say, Bethesda, you got it RIGHT with Skyrim. The evolution of all the great elements of free-range play from Oblivion/Fallout 3 coupled with incredible graphics, really strong story lines, great musical score and voice acting talent. It’s literally the best, most original game out there, and the only game I play these days.
As you mentioned in your ‘farewell’ above, this game IS a phenomenon among the most desirable of gaming demographics. I browse the internet and see the countless sites, spoofs and digital art inspired by THIS specific game and it blows me away. Skyrim has such deep and well-written story lines – you can’t just end like this, finish the story. At minimum, resolution with Ulfric and the civil war/the Thalmor plot lines seems the obvious way to end Skyrim.
Bethesda. Reality check. This is your HALO 3, you’re GOLDEN AGE.

Not to be rude, Todd Howard also said that there would be more than three back when Skyrim was announced and that the DLC would be more like Fallout 3. Then at that gaming event, Bethesda had said that great things were in store for Skyrim in 2013. I feel lied to and it dissuades me in buying anything new from Bethesda, and it even furthers that by not allowing my last comment about my discontinuing support for the company. What should be happening is Bethesda explaining why they moved on when they already had promised so much. But if you’re going to move on, so will I, and I’ll encourage others who feel the same way to do so as well. It was good while it lasted Bethesda, but I’m afraid I’m standing by my other comment. I’m moving on, and away, from Bethesda gaming. I’ll enjoy the classics, but I’m no longer going to support the lies and let downs.

I’m a little bit disappointed that there will be no more DLC, however it’s not too big of a deal for me. Thank you Bethesda, for bringing us one of the greatest games ever made and played, a game that I have put so many hours into it’s probably my most played game of all time. A game that I will keep playing for some several other hundreds of hours, at least. Skyrim is probably the most fun I’ve had in video games since I started playing Oblivion, and I will still have a ton of fun while playing more Skyrim.
Thank you, Bethesda.

I was on the verge of buying the game and supporting Bethesda.
Because you guys promised to make several DLCs, how-ever we only got Dawnguard and Dragonborn.
There are so many quests open and left, it’s not even funny anymore.
So I decided not to buy the game, and not support a company that gives up early.

They’re money grubbing for leaving an unfinished product unfinished when we bought it. They promised 4-5 DLCs when Skyrim was announced. We got 2 DLCs and a house that they themselves didn’t consider DLC. Dragonborn had 360 exclusivity and now that it’s up, they jump ship. I don’t find that coincidental. I find that slapping the PS3 and the PC gamers in the face.

ALL THEIR DLC WAS GOOD, in my opinion every game that Bethesda make is completely perfect, I have always been a massive fan of The Elder Scrolls series and the Fallout series (Which is my personal favorite)Bethesda made all excellent DLC’s for Skyrim, Fallout and all the other games they make. The fans of Bethesda that love the games they make don’t moan about the DLC, they thankthm for making the gaming an AMAZING experience, you don’t like it? F**K OFF.

One feature that I really think should come in a patch is to be able to adjust the timescale for consoles. It hurts immersion for me when I leave my house to go adventuring at 8 AM and it reaches noon in ten minutes. Maybe add this into settings and let players adjust it to what they want. Then I can make time in game move at least a little more realistically.
On another note, I am disappointed that they are already done with Skyrim, it feels like it needs more. Hopefully this game they speak of is the next TES because I’m not going to buy any other game Bethesda makes after the whole ps3 DLC problem. Hopefully the next game makes some SERIOUS improvements as well. All the bugs and problems Skyrim has gone through is unprofessional and unacceptable. Despite this though, Skyrim is still a fun game and is entertaining enough for me to buy future TES games despite all that has gone wrong. I have faith that the next one will be even better. The people at Bethesda do have talent and I believe that.

There is nothing that Beth could do about this, I seriously doubt either Sony or Microsoft would allow people to modify a game. At best its still a support nightmare, not to mention the data infrastructure and UI changes that would be needed. At worst? Well being able to execute 3rd party code at the permissions of a game would let people do all sorts of stuff.

This game gave me all i wanted for an Elder Scrolls Title. Having first picked up IV Oblivion in Freshmen year of High School, i became hooked on the series. Around the time i was a freshman in College, i was excited to hear the next game was coming. I have started playing it on opening day. My brother bought it on Xbox 360 while i bought it on PS3, so we wouldn’t have to share. When i eventually built a gaming rig that could handle Skyrim, i purchased it yet again and i can say it was still worth it. Team Bethesda, you have my support and please keep up the good work!!!
Sincerely,

If you are moving onto TESVI (I wouldn’t say no to fallout 4) I would suggest looking at the magic system and expanding out of combat magic and also speech. Skyrim focused everything on combat, and speech didn’t even matter. Magic was just another weapon. With such a cool AI system in place, it would be great to see more interactions with it.

Thanks again for deleting another comment that didn’t need to be deleted. It wasn’t rude, it wasn’t malicious. Now it’s for certain, I will encourage boycott. Not just for the treatment here as I did nothing wrong, but for the simple fact that YOU ARE NOT EXPLAINING THESE THINGS. Todd Howard promised 4-5 DLC on the press release of Skyrim. Now that the Xbox exclusivity is over, you are NOW cutting off promised DLC. Not only are you proving my point, but I will also write to a few gaming magazine editors about this ‘coincidence’ and urge them to get an answer out of you. Just because you have ‘moderation’ powers on here doesn’t mean that you can silence us that are upset that you lied to us, several times and force PS3 and PC users to feel less than equal with Microsoft. I may as well see what kind of laws surround this and try and file a lawsuit about the sales of this as that WAS promised at the release, which is an advertisement. Now it’s not? I think it’s worth looking into.

Thanks Bethesda!
Some people here are really angry, and I don’t get it. Sure, we could have gotten one more DLC. What really bothers me is that I thought Skyrim would get advances into Morrowind and Cyrodiil based on the large gates into those realms. As amazing as the game is, it seems like we’re missing something.
Still, Skyrim is easily the most expansive and best game of the decade. At least in its class, and arguably of all genres. It represented a huge step forward for RPGs and action/adventure games, and the next one will only be better.
But, some of you have to realize, Bethesda wants to make money, so their first priority has to be the consoles. Xbox “Durango” and PlayStation 4 won’t be getting Skyrim. I was hoping for a “Skyrim HD” re-release that would integrate the HD pack for PCs, and some of the mods that add to the game without really changing much (e.g. Open Cities), but the timing of this announcement tells me Skyrim won’t be on the next consoles… but the timing also tells me that maybe Fallout 4 will be. A lot of people will be buying the new Xbox and PlayStation consoles this holiday season. If Bethesda can get Fallout 4 out by then, they’re going to want to do that. And if that means dropping Skyrim, they’re going to do that as well.

Understand you’re frustrated, but we did not set a number of DLCs. The main thing that Todd discussed (the same week we revealed the Game Jam video) was that each piece of content’s size would be somewhere between Fallout 3 pieces and what we did for Shivering Isles. Yes, Hearthfire is a smaller one, but it came out of some great ideas we saw in our game jam and through the community.
From Kotaku:
http://kotaku.com/5885983/bethesda-skyrim-dlc-will-feel-more-like-expansion-packs
“For Fallout 3 we did five DLCs,” Howard told me during an interview last week at the DICE Summit. “That was a very aggressive path for us. Our plan now is to take more time, to have more meat on them [for Skyrim]. They’ll feel closer to an expansion pack.”

Well if you guys are going to leave so many lose ends, we have a right to hear how skyrim “ends.” Either through dlc (which is what everyone wants) or through cinematic (like what me3 did) we have the right to know how it all ends unless tes 6 is a continuation of skyrim. It’s the least you guys could do for those (most of us) who have put hundreds of hours and tons of cash into your game.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved this game. To be honest I was mainly an fps player (halos) until I tried this game out. Ironically I made fun of rpg kids and called skyrim a typical fantasy game where you kill dragons. I was wrong in every way and I have put around 400 hours into this game without being bored. I then picked up fallout 3 (also amazing) and am now considering dark souls and other RPGs. This situation is unfortunate but I believe that I can say for all of us that we only complain because we trust you guys unlike IW or treyarch. Nevertheless thanks for the great game but please just give us an ending to a great story!!!

New ways to kill opponents new ways to clear caves and kill dragons if you don’t create new content give us new ways to play the already existing content. like adding spears, thrown weapons new magic, a one-handed ranged weapon(non-magic),more powerful shields that allow you to be offensive,
Crossbows were great they changed the way you could play. this is what i want but its to bad its over.

I love your games. If you made a massive skyrim DLC that warranted $60 I’d pay it without blinking. Please reconsider this decision. Yesterday was so sad I found myself just booting up skyrim before I went to sleep and escaping just for a little while. I found myself dreaming of what might be next, a trip to stros m’kai and some of its related islands or even a trip further into skyrim’s western mountains and the heart of Orc country. Now I find myself just feeling hopeless. Thank you for the game. I’ll love it and play it into the ground like Oblivion, but unlike Oblivion I’ll always feel a little sad like you guys never explored everything you could have done with this wonderful game. I’m begging you: make more DLC

Actually, if you watch the video flow of Todd Howard, he did say an amount. I’m not talking about Game Jam, I’m talking about the reveal of Skyrim, Todd talking about the gameplay, and I’m talking about what he said about DLC. Nothing about GameJam, in fact, this was BEFORE it. He talked about it being more substantial. Vampire Lord factions that was about the same size as the Companions? Then you say that Hearthfire isn’t DLC, yet it’s for sale and downloadable, and content created by Bethesda? And then Dragonborn, which leaves everything up in the air. The 360 got exclusivity to all three packages. All three. You gave nothing to the PS3 players but a discount. You gave nothing to the PC gamers but glitchy texture packs. Frustrated? About being lied to? You betchya. That’s false advertisement and you know it.

Thank you for Skyrim! It really is a great game. Sure, it has many bugs, and I hope those bugs will be fixed, but it is still a great game.
However, as can be seen in these posts:
http://www.bethblog.com/2012/12/03/dragonborn-coming-tomorrow-to-xbox-live-coming-to-ps3-and-pc-early-2013/
http://www.bethblog.com/2012/12/05/dragonborns-release/
“And we’re still not done – we look forward to sharing more Skyrim news next year!”
“And we also have some more stuff planned for everyone next year as well.”
This really sounds like more DLC should be released, not just game updates. This whole talk of a “Redguard DLC” doesn’t make sense, though. There’s no logical reason for why the Dragonborn would visit Hammerfell even if it’s Dragonstar. It’s more likely that Bethesda just renewed their trademark. What would be logical is a DLC dealing with the Aldmeri Dominion. The opportunity for it is there. It could begin with dealing with the aftermath of the civil war, and Tullius or Ulfric telling you it’s time to take on the elves. Perhaps an attack on Summerset Isle, but more likely to drive out the Thalmor from Skyrim. I’d certainly like my Dragonborn to punish them for their atrocities.
However, if there really is no more DLC coming, that’s sad. Still, it is a great game, with or without Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn.
And, from a real-life Nord: Tack för er fina avbildning av gamla Norden och dess söner och döttrar!

Here is a revolutionary concept for you Bethesda, you could go on producing expansions for Skyrim for years to come.
You could have a talented, trusted team working on it while the bulk of your talent is moving on to new pastures.
I am not alone in thinking that you had more dlc on the way this year, that impression was distinctly given.
Also, I would really, really, like to see a utility for your games to port console save games to pc.
I think it would be a great thing to offer to all the fans who have suffered so much with endless bugs that make the games unplayable or unwinnable, or just plain not enjoyable.
I have gone through hell with bugs on FNV & skyrim. At one point during FNV, it would take around 2mins+ to load each save game. When you are playing a game where you die frequently, & need to reload endlessly, the game becomes awful to play.
Considering that your games take around 500 hours to fully explore, it is unreasonable to think people will just start again if things go wrong.
I have loved your games deeply, but I am at a stage where I want to just quit consoles & play on PC exlusively.
I bought an xbox slim just to play FNV, which I feel was a big mistake, I really hate missing out on all of the great mods that are available, & on the high texture pack that you released, & I would love to be able to fix all the bugs that arise using console edits.
I would love to see a utility which I can use to port my xbox saves for Morrowind Oblivion FO3 FNV & Skyrim iver to PC & never look back.
I think this would be a great way to go for games as complex, far reaching & ambitious as your are.
Thanks for the great games, looking forward to FO4, hopefully on PC this time.

I’m really really disappointed, was expecting at least another 2 DLCs, with a final blow to the Thalmor forces in Cyrodill or at least its borders.
And Skyrim will stay like this, without a true High-King on the throne? I hoped so much for answers to such questions and they were wasted, thrown into the air like this. Leaving a game hanging like this reminds me of how Minecraft was treated…
Thanks Sithis, there are mods that help, but the feeling of owning an official Bethesda plug-in…..oh well.

Hello Bethesda! My name is Anestis and i’m a big fan like most people here of the Elder Scrolls series and of course the best of all is Skyrim. This is the game i was expecting all those years, i love the big map the Dragons the music the age everything.
So the past 6 months i was thinking about a DLC and started to design the story,note that im not a developer or good at mods i don’t know how to make mods,the only think that i have is ideas and the fantasy to write stories and scenarios, this is my strong part. I read today that you are “moving on” and that there is no more Skyrim DLCs coming out i don’t hide you that i lost the earth beneath my feet! I mean Skyrim can offer many options the Dwarves,Snow Elves,Thalmor and the Moot,who will be the High King/Queen?
And so my idea is based on the Moot.Straight to the point i will explain with few words what i suggest,the Dragonborn can become a Jarl (no necessary to finish the Civil War Quest) in a NEW HOLD i know that’s a lot of work to do :p so the new hold will have the Sigil of a Dragon the guards will wear the same armor as all Nord guards with black colors and on there shield will be the sigil of the Dragon.About the name of the hold im not sure i was thinking something about “Black Hold” or “Black Throne” the Jarl will sit upon a black throne,the Dragonborn through a series of quests will become the Jarl,choose a side in the civil war and after the end of war he can support for example Ulfric and make him High King or he can conspire and win the other Jarls to his side and become the High King but that will start a second civil war! Jarls will fall and rise again and maybe new Jarls will step in.
Also in the new hold there will be a new faction the Dragon Guard or Dragon Order im not sure yet about the name.A new female Dragon and an armored Dragon that will be allies.there will be some siege too and not only once.A new beast form,Pole arms like Halberds and Spears and building a fort near Winterhold,also own a ship. So as i read the comments below we all expect at least one final big DLC something to “remember” Skyrim i hope you like my idea and give us one final epic battle!Send me an email or reply to me and i will gladly give you all the details about the story the quests everything i also designed the map of the new capital i mentioned. Im doing this for my favorite game and all the people that love Skyrim.

I guess Bethesda thought my first comment was too rude and deleted it. Everyone is complaining about not getting anymore DLC, and that does suck. But as a PS3 owner we STILL haven’t got an acceptable base game. After a year and a half the same low frame rate issues continue to make this game unplayable after 30+ hours of gameplay. Every time an update comes out they claim to fix it, but none have been able to do so. I love some skyrim, but this far from a finished product. I will NEVER buy another Bethesda game.

ps. an idea for new crafting id love to see it tailoring if you set it in summerset. id also like to see at least one more lycanthropic strain in your next tes game if in any province other than hammerfell or summerset

As a Huge fan of Oblivion and a big fan of Skyrim along with many of Bethesda’s other works I’m actually Really, REALLY happy they’re dropping Skyrim and moving on.
I really like the content added by Skyrim’s DLC but I had originally hoped for an extension of the conflict with the Aldmeri Dominion. It never really went that way though and didn’t seem like it was going to. The DLC’s that are there are pretty great, there’s been enough patches that the gameplay is much more bearable, and I look forward to any patches to come in the future.
I think with the huge boost in popularity Bethesda has learned a lot from Skyrim. My biggest hope though is that they learned a lot about Quality over Quantity and that many RPG aspects that they attempted to revolutionize have been around so long for a reason. The reality is they thought they could do so much more with the Xbox, and they did, but there’s a new generation of consoles on the way and they need to start production right away if they’re going to make a good quality game for them.
I think the controls and general way the Morrowind-Skyrim have worked is really good, so I hope they don’t change too much if a new Game Engine is used, but a new Game Engine is probably being considered at least given that there’s still so many glitches that have been an issue since the beginning. I also have high hopes that the next Elder Scrolls game will make a welcome return to more customization as far as gear, enchantments, and spells and such go, as these things have been declining more and more with each game, I mean in Skyrim it’s really hard to find unenchanted robes, but there’s like 30 different kinds of shoes/boots to choose from. There’s always an abundance of unique swords compared to other weapons too.
I want to close with a question. The Champion of Cyrodiil became Sheogorath, Sheogorath became Jyggalag again, the prince of order, and for some reason in Skyrim Peryite still holds that title and he’s also mentioned as the weakest of the Daedric princes. I love Peryite so if he took out Jyggalag I’m cool with that, but I’m kinda curious as to what happened?

Beth, as far as I can tell, everybody just wants one more DLC. One that will make Skyrim the defining Elder Scrolls game (though, in the opinion of many, that belongs to Morrowind). If you’re going to keep patching and fixing stuff, I want to suggest one thing.
Fix the damn core of the game. Repeated patching has been shown to break things it doesn’t touch.
The UI as I have said on many occasions is too console oriented for use on the PC (thank the gods for mods like KDInventory and/or SkyUI).
I’d like to be able to see my remaining Health, Magicka and Stamina at any given time without having to TAB them onto the screen (you know, like it was in Morrowind and Oblivion) and a Character model viewer on the inventory screen (you know, like it was in every ES game to date. I know for a fact the consoles can handle this too, my brother has the X360 version of Oblivion).
Let us end the Civil War once and for all. Take the fight to the Thalmor (Or, if you’re playing a Wood Elf or High Elf, conspire with them).
Oh, I want to be able to KILL Rolff Stone-Fist. Makes no sense that my Dark Elf beats the everliving snot of him and he goes right back to belching insults in the face of his better and get away with it.
Rebuild Whiterun.
Once the dragons are dealt with, rebuild Helgen.
Bugs that’re as yet unaddressed:
The Strange Amulet.
But really, in the Quest that involves being chucked into Cidhna Mine, you can actually BEAT the guards to death and break the quest.
The Imperial and Stormcloak Generals should not remain immortal after the leader (Tullius/Ulfric) has been killed. You can still get stuck between a rock and a bigger rock, or between a fortress wall and a mountain face. This unnecessarily forces a reload or a TCL from the console.
Patch 1.9 has brought with it a lot more crashing.
Fix everything, test it and we shall have a Skyrim V2.0.
Oh, and it seems the PS3 guys still have a low FPS rate.
Also, I think the X360 gang have Save Bloat/Corruption issues.
Please, please, please make Skyrim the unforgettable experience it was meant to be.

You guys did give the impression that there was something more coming out for Skyrim besides patches and Dragonborn for PC/PS3. But, I get it. Sometimes you speak too soon and realize that you’ve got too much on your plate at one time. Thanks for an amazing and addicting game. I hope whatever you’ve got coming out next is even more epic than Skyrim.

I felt there were a LOT of loose ends that could have warranted some crazy good DLC, namely the Thalmor, and the College of Winterhold (The College was particularly underwhelming compared to it’s Oblivion Mage’s Guild counterpart).
However I of course am happy to support Bethesda going forward, and I look forward to what your next big title will be.

Well…I must say I’m disappointed that nothing was really added about the Dwemer. I would have loved to have seen more lore or explanation about what happened as a DLC in Skyrim, but it looks like it’s over.

I agree that everything must come to a end, and Skyrim is no different although it is probably one of the best games I have played, and most certainly the best in the TES saga. However, I felt incredibly disappointed by loose ends like the civil war.
To be honest, the civil war quests could have been so much more fun; the only worthwile quests were the major city battles (whiterun and respective factions capitals), and not even those were great. I do however feel I need to know how it all ends. It felt like we were taken to the start of the story, taken a little bit further in, and then abruptly cut off with general Tullius or Ulfric hinting at so much yet not doing anything; “hey, there will be war and so much fun with the elves and all that, we’re not done, and I trust you to wipe out any enemy camps”. That’s pretty much what I heard at the abrupt end of the story.
If skyrim truly is finished, I still thank you for this amazing game, although I still can’t stop thinking there was so much more that could be done to enhance this experience into something mindblowing.

Well guys i read almost all the comments and to say the truth it is no easy to bother with a game for years especially with Skyrim because its a great game and need countless hours to focus on it, so about bugs it will be difficult to fix them all its like a sinking boat you close the one hole and the other opens up.So the only thing that we want is at least one final good DLC and a couple of small updates with tiny contents like 3 more followers High Elves preferably as there is no Altmer followers in the game or the 3 DLCs.

Asking you guys to fix every glitch to a game of this scope is a bit too much, but it still really feels like an unfinished game. No conclusion to the war, the High King, Thalmor and all that. So what’s the point of starting a storyline with no end to it? Also, I’ll remember that you never really fixed the ps3 version when the new ES comes out, and any other unfortunate customers will do that as well. Way to create an unplayable game and get away with it like that.

Hi there and congradulations on this fantastic game and all the DlC’s, but I don’t really agree the move on. Do we really need an “The Elder Scrolls VI”? You have a whole universe of space and ideas on “Skyrim”, and you prove that you can make a whole new world with “Dragonborn”, I know that isnt easy but can you explore the rest of Tamriel in a Skyrim based story?
It would one hell of a collection!

I have to just say, I’m really heartbroken by this announcement. I was checking my favorite Elders Scrolls wiki almost every other day to see when the next DLC is coming out, then I see this. As much as I love the game as it is, I really think it has so much more to offer and that you guys shouldn’t just call it quits now. For example, what about the expanded follower system? As a Xbox player, I can’t just resort to modding as much as I wish I could. Now, all of those awesome things I saw that had came up with putting during the Gamejam or whatever it was called will never see the light of day and it saddens me as a big fan of the game.

All I have to say is that ive been loving your games since morrowind. i went back and played arena and daggerfall, and ive played oblivion and skyrim to the ground. What ever happened to todd howard saying, “We will make fewer DLCs but with much more content”? you guys made 3 mediocre DLCs that I still enjoyed, but it makes now sense because the Shivering Isles was easily more massive than theese shitty DLCs. You guys PROMISED bigger than Shivering Isles, and you FAILED. Next time at least be honest with us please.

I’ve been really really really patient. Really I have. But you guys have disappointed me over and over again.
Here is the truth about Skyrim: I has not worked once! NOT ONCE without glitches. If this were a car it would be eligible for the LEMON LAW.
I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER BETHESDA GAME EVER BECAUSE OF HOW YOU’VE HANDLED THIS GAME.
The greatness of this game was ruined by all the glitches. And now we are at patch 1.9 and I still have problems that haven’t been fixed since 1.7!!!!
Three quests are stuck in my short quest log. Those three quests block progress on all my major quests. I CANNOT get any more dragon shouts.
FIX THIS FREAKIN’ game you idiots. Look, you’ve had problems with the quest system since you’ve released the game in NOVEMBER OF 2011!! And its April of 2013 and the quest system has been broken for the ENTIRE patch release cycle.
When will you realize that something is wrong with the game and either fix the problem or create a manual work around? Something that will allow the USER to reset the quest that is broken or delete it from the log? No more little resets FIX THE FREAKIN game or refund us our money.
How can you live with yourselves? How would you like it if your car repairman treated you the way you are treating us?
You have no honor if you do not fix this game.
Two days after the 1.9 patch I had 5 at least 5 quests broken. Three of which were carried over from before the 1.9 patch.

Skyrim was and still one of the best games at least in my opinion. I have some issues with the game freezing and such but still a good game. The DLC’s they had released were all good in their own way actually interesting. At the very least as some have mentioned here there is some issues that should be addressed like Thalmor and the fate of the empire as well as the moot for the High king/queen of skyrim. Imaginating the end doesnt seem appropriate for a game based on choice by the player.

I still love it! I deeply involved right after I bought it!! I almost played 600+ hr game time with out putting any other game disc to my PS3 between 4 month.
A truly Open world game is a world you want to “live” inside.
Skyrim did it.

I don’t understand…. this must be a joke!? So oblivion gets 4 + dlc’s and fallout gets 4 + dlc’s and skyrim get 3 (which is more like 2 1/2 because hearthfire didnt add any new quests)? This makes no sense at all. The biggest game yet and with so many opportunities to add. What about all those trails that venture off map into new regions but blocks the player from continuing on, always thought that a dlc would be added that opened up a new region. Yeah Elder Scrolls online will be coming out which will be great for all the online junkies(dont get me wrong im excited for it too but it wont be the same). what about those who love to venture off in their own worlds and get wrapped up in epic quests and adventures? You guys talk about the fans…. but to me it seems very selfish to just do what you want and not what the fans want most. I cant even begin to tell you about how many of those of us who beat dragonborn and than said ok whats next? How bout one final dlc that just blows everyone away and makes us FANS satisfied with your decision to move on. I say ONE MORE!!!!

I agree, there needs to be one more DLC that allows a conclusion to the main storline. Time to beat on the Thalmor. There could be a flipside as in Dawnguard: you could play for the Thalmor against the Empire/Stormcloaks.
It is clear that there is more than significant demand and that it is warranted.
Lastly, I very badly would like to play split-screen with my wife, or if that’s not possible, with a friend online on my X360. At least one other person. I would love to be able to go hunting with a buddy or clear out a dungeon together. In fact I would prefer this vastly over an MMO.

The Elder Scrolls Online-It has: Low Possibility of Success, Too Familiar like other MMO game, You producer can’t make more money if the “in game cash” not sell well.
Skyrim has: Strong-Steady relationship with gamer (I love it), Great chance of upgrading and expanding, Instant cash on the selling Base game and DLC, No game at the present can catch up with it, Limitation ? Say that to my hand.
What the **** in Oblivion that your team think that they make a right decision or this is what your boss command you to do, to dump away one chance to make money and start with another one. If this isn’t about making money then at least finish what you doing. We can wait and we will wait, I signed up for beta of TES-O not to make Skyrim being close like this, i singed up cuz i think your guy make thing and do thing that other producer don’t dare to do, cuz you bring us freedom and creative to play your world. For that…Please, do what you intended to do, if your boss want anything tell him to STFO and listen to the crowd voice, to the gamers NOT Benjamin Franklin OK ?

Man, Bethesda, you guys are making a HUGE misstep without one more DLC. Skyrim is, by far, the best – and most popular – game your studio has ever produced. FAR too many loose ends to just leave your fans hanging.
I’ve been adventuring in Tamriel from the get-go, back in ’93. Skyrim has met every wish I ever dreamed of in an Elder Scrolls game. I’m not ready to put it down yet, and I’d say the VAST majority of your customers agree with me.
I’m not naive enough to think that any of these posts will actually change anything, but you always claim to listen to your fans. For the next game, PLEASE let us deal with the Thalmor, and give them the black eye they so richly deserve.
SO MANY areas of Tamriel have been left unexplored in-depth. As a fan of not only the play-aspect of the game series, but as an Elder Scrolls historian, I’d love to see something set in either Valenwood or Hammerfell. Taking my previous statement about the Thalmor into account, Valenwood would be the more logical of the two choices.
Thank you again for the best game I’ve ever played (Skyrim), and thank you for giving us The Elder Scrolls series.

I understand that it would be more profitable in order to move-on to the next project, but there are people willing to purchase a $40~$60 dollar DLC (FYI to commentators, a company’s goal is to make money, not provide a service as requested). This is as much as a regular game except the engine and root coding are all already there. It would be more inexpensive than a full game, and there is already a massive fanbase who already own the vanilla game. As a result, the profit margins would be tremendous compared to releasing a completely new game. I would suggest even delaying the next project on the corporate level in order to maximize profits as although it would be slow going, the new game could still be worked on while a “final” DLC is created. It would be foolish to pass this opportunity up as it would generate an extra $20~$40 (or whatever the projected margins are) times say half of the copies of Skyrim released. It would end-up paying for itself relatively quickly. In order for consumers to buy it, though, this may be one of those exceptions where you have to advertise for the DLC, especially with the release of this blog post.

beg all you want but there’s no more DLC coming out. After having them make a post clearly saying “no more DLC”, the chances of them developing several major features and then an entire DLC about Thalmor because of a few comments is just… not happening in this universe. just move on lmao.
It makes more sense than anything to stop development because Skyrim is getting old and even though it’s a great game most people lost interest a long time ago.
it wasn’t a cliffhanger either. destroying the thalmor isn’t the plot of a DLC, that’s a plot for an entire game, not to mention it wasn’t even the main plot of skyrim in the first place.

This is a most curious move, Bethesda. It would seem from the passionate comments that you have received here that the consumers are not ready to “move on to the next adventure…” they want more adventuring in Skyrim.
TES:V is a beautiful game with so many possibilities. Yes, I am sure the modders will continue to push material out, but (no offense to the modding community) the vast majority of these mods will be half-baked. What the majority of consumers want is more DLC for this product.
I do not want to sound like a broken record, but I have to agree with many of the other comments – the game does not feel finished. I could really care if new DLC involved the Dwemer or some other direction; it would just be nice for there to be some extension of the storylines that have been left so incredibly open and incomplete. I am sure that in doing an open world game, it is necessary to leave some storylines unresolved, but it feels like there is a whole lot to leave the player hanging.
It seems like there is more money to be made in releasing DLC here; perhaps this should be reconsidered. Regardless, it appears as though the decision has been made. Thanks for a great game – I just wish it felt a little more finished.

I totally agree with doing the next one in valenwood. Or maybe the summerset isles. I was kinda disappointed in their decision to do elder scrolls 5 in skyrim. Only because I knew that it was going to be snowy and dead looking. One of the biggest reasons why I loved morrowind and Oblivion was because of it’s rich scenery. I wouldn’t really want them to do it in hammerfel for two reasons. 1: because they have already been there. 2: because hammerfel is desert. Although that leaves it open for more tropical areas. It would still be a lot of desert roaming and I’m just now down for that. Oh, and I totally agree with you…skyrim was not done and the vast vast vast majority of the fans are in totally agree with you. I hope they actually listen to the fans.

I need to leave my two cents about this because I feel it’s important. Skyrim has been THE game that has never gotten old, OVER exceeding my expectations when it came out 11/11/11. I’ve played all The Elder Scroll games and have loved them from the beginning. With each play through from TES 1-4, I stopped playing them after my first play through. Skyrim however has been almost none stop. I can’t even count how many times I’ve made a new character because there’s so much you can do. After the Dragonborn DLC came out, I really started getting in to the game and I played more and more. I’ve beaten the story line DLC for both Dragonborn and Dawnguard probably 5 times each now with different types of characters. Now my question is, if something like Skyrim has such a high demand for more DLC, why not give it to the fans who have fallen in love with the game? Just a question that I feel is necessary to be answered.

We’ve actually supported Skyrim longer than any previous title. An incredible amount of work went into releasing the three add-ons on PS3, 360, and PC.
And we also made sure we did more to support the game with free updates. At this point, releasing the modding tools is more or less assumed, but there was still of a ton of work that went into the Creation Kit (and Skyrim Workshop). On top of that we wanted other content that would be available for free, including the 360’s Kinect support, our Steam HD Texture Pack, and our title updates that added new features to the game.

You folks underestimate the apparent corporate evil that has overtaken Bethesda. No No NO. This is what will happen:
In the 200 years between IV and V the Empire failed and Thalmor came to power. The next game will skip several more generations, during which time the Thalmor were defeated and the Empire has risen again. We won’t get to enjoy it.
Not only that but it wouldn’t surprise me if the next game has us working for the fallen Thalmor bringing them back to power.

Please GStaff tell whoever is in charge of Skyrim to please release Flow Water Shader, Seasonal Foliage, Verlet Physics and Spears as a patch or something, just release them with no support in anyway, just ask Todd or Pete to release them so we can expand on them for modding.

All I can say is, I hope Skyrim was a massive learning experience for them.
The backlash of criticism they got for releasing a console game on PC without taking advantage of the architectuer is one thing, but the bugs… so many bugs…
And since patch 1.9, Nightingale Hall crashes on entry again.

The Dragonborn isn’t cut out to be Jarl, let alone a High King/Queen. He/She has no legitimate claim to the crown without the King/Queen/Jarl naming him/her as successor.
I agree, Whiterun neesd to be restored.
Right now, I’d be happy seeing Atmora or Akavir.
But I’d love to see the Summerset Isles or Black Marsh or Valenwood or Elsweyr.
“Hello, this girl is Dragonborn all around the planet Nirn!”
Dovahkiin is a Nord legend. The could be many more of the dragon blood. The Greybeard Arngeir himself said “the only one that has been revealed to us”.
But surely there’s bad stuff happening on the other contents as well, and not just Tamriel.

I would have loved to destroy the Thalmor oppression, and chase the scum in every corner of Skyrim to obliterate them all, pity…A DLC would make it better. But I’ve enjoyed Skyrim so much… I can’t be mad or dissapointed at Bethesda – I’ve just had so much fun!
I definatly trust Bethesda and have high hopes for the elder scrolls 6.
Team Skyrim: Thank you.
But please don’t make me wait 10 years for TES: VI!!!!
And of course in the next game I expect there to be some Thalmor slaughtering

So…they never said they we’re leaving it entirely…
probably finishing up on a few DLC’s…at least the rumored next two…gunna patch it up…that’s about it…not leaving…just working on other stuff more than this…probably not “the evil within” at least it doesn’t seem like it…they make it sound like the thing they are moving too has had a lot of time on it already and needs more time on it…possibly fallout 4…because they did say they were sworking on something big even as dishonored was released and “the evil within doesn’t have any small amount of gameplay footage in that premiere trailer…though I could be proven wrong…

Bethesda, this is the greatest game of all time. I am on my 3rd restart and with 20 mods, I have a near to realistic game as possible going. The only wish I have is for my character to have speech for her lines. I know Dragonage II was able to do this and hope that if not for Skyrim, maybe the next Elder Scroll game you can include this perk. Thanks for the all the fun the last year and a half. Looking for forward to the next one (although I still have Alduin to face a 3rd time yet. JK

Guys, guys. Calm down.
The reason there will be no more DLCs is quite simple. Market conflict between two products that belong to the same company. That is TESO.
I honestly hope that BGS *will* release stuff that we saw in GameJam, because if they dont, it will feel like a slap in the face of costumers/consumers. It will look like this: “See guys, if we kept the game atleast one more month in development, you wouldve got these features. But alas, we wanted to meet a very rare and special time of release, so… deal with it.”
Leaving Skyrim in current state and walking off looks like BGS gave up and simply left. Atleast finish the work guys.

The problem here is there was a lot of bad blood at the start of the game with how glitchy it was. And it was, there is really no denying it. But the company repeatedly leaked 5 dlcs coming and are cutting it short with 3. This means the game starts and ends on possibly bad press. This is really bad when you’re trying to launch an mmo. Who’s going to buy an mmo that, based on the last incarnation of the game, will be buggy to start and not be fully supported by the maker’s own intentions. I can understand why the made the decision, don’t get me wrong, but it really is shooting themselves in the foot with current and future projects. Believe it or not but bethseda is becoming kind a joke with a lot of gamers and this won’t help things.

Oh and please make it where Wuuthrad can be upgraded. Thanks for the fun times.

Loved Skyrim, but VERY disappointed that there wasn’t a DLC for the Thalmor plotline. Now, if Elder Scrolls VI basically picks up a short time after Skyrim and deals with the Thalmor issue (and more), allowing for exploration of ALL of Tamriel, well, disappointment would quickly turn to excitement. Just saying. ^_^

Cause you’re trying to make a grim news (that should have been given us 4 months ago) about end of Skyrim dlc irrelevant by posting 5 different news on your blog when usually you don’t release anything new on blog for days …you leave me no choice but to try here to let you know that a small patch which would introduce spears at least or in best case scenario some other gam jam stuff which didn’t make in game(but than patch wouldn’t be so small now right? xD)….it would be a REALLY nice gesture and it would show that Skyrim indeed was more for you than just a ‘game’ and in the same time soothe all the upset people including me who just think that your dlc policy for Skyrim was economicly(this one only matters,right? -.-) and in every other aspect wrong and that by giving something that you can make really easily(you did it for Morrowind back in 2003 and for the gam jam ….what possible excuse could you make up now…cmon), you would prove that Skyrim means more to you than you have showed&(and btw why you support more your adopted child Fallout which I also like than your own child Elder Scrolls-both FO 3 and NW got more dlcs and marketing stuff and communication was much better and all loose ends have been covered up and you actually didn’t leave so much questions unanswered as you did with both Oblivion and Skyrim especially)that’s all….as you said…you’re over with Skyrim but might release occasional patch…so why don’t release patch 2.0 and though we would not forgive you your neglect for Skyrim at least it won’t leave this bitter feeling that I’m currently feeling like millions of others towards you….. really after this your decision it seems that Nazeem finally got a competition -.-

Its a clever business strategy from their point of view.
Also, they dont care at this point. Nothing, short of mass petition, will make them change their minds.
Also, if Fallout 4 is anything like Fallout 3 in general terms, well, they are better off outsourcing it.

The thing is this, I was patient. I bought this game and the DLC twice once for PS3 and then again for PC when I became fed up with the situation of not being able to use mods. The Game is a warrior/archer class game with tired, boring pop horror elements (Vampire/werewolf) but I still waited for them to add SOMETHING …anything for the players who love Mage class characters. they never did and now it’s over? Here is what I will do I’ll just spend my money on some other game that does. end of story.

I started my journey with downloading skyrim illegal from the pirate bay, and when dawnguard came out i was like hmm i might buy the game, and when dragonborn came out i was really happy, so happy that i installed windows again and bought skyrim and all the dlc’s just to play skyrim. Its not every day i buy a game, sad enough.
But i would like to thank Bethseda for this awesome game and if the next elderscrolls is as good as skyrim i will defiantly buy that to and all the dlc’s.

Actually, the Aldmeri Dominion you fight/fought in Skyrim was the second Aldmeri Dominion.
The ones you fight/join in TES:O is the first Aldmeri Dominion, and they aren’t that much of a group of pricks compared to the second Aldmeri Dominion.
The MMO is, if I remember right, sometime during the 2nd era. Skyrim’s events took place during the 4th era.

Personally I’ve always enjoyed Skyrim. I can’t tell you the countless hours I’ve played it. So many that I only just realized recently there were DLC’s for it and purchased them all myself.
From a gamers perspective I am saddened that there’s no more content coming for Skyrim. Personally I’d jump at the chance to get some more good stuff for the game into it. It is something to think about that the other games get 4 DLC’s and Skyrim only gets 3.
I’d like to see the stuff be able to download so that players can make their own adventures since there will be no more official DLC’s. It may be out there already, but I’m not able to find it so…
Anyways, good luck with your next project, may it be as epic as this one is still.

Look fellow Skyrim fans in the comments, I love Skyrim too, but we have to be realistic here. Bethesda now has an ENTIRELY different fanbase with the Fallout franchise. I’m a huge fan of The Elder Scrolls, but I’m also a huge fan of Fallout. So, I think it’s pretty selfish of people to be slamming Bethesda for making this very difficult, but completely necessary decision.
You guys have to realize, Bethesda hasn’t released a Fallout game or DLC in support of Fallout for several YEARS!! They have other fans and other commitments they are expected to fulfill, when it pertains to the Fallout RPG franchise. So, they’ve obviously gotten to the point now where they’ve had to direct the entire studios attention to the development of Fallout 4. (Yes I’m aware Fallout 4 hasn’t been OFFICIALLY announced, but what else could this project be? The timing is right and given the recent leaks of info we’ve had, this project is likely Fallout 4)
So, as I’ve said, it’s simply not fair to the Fallout fans to throw them to the back burner for a whole other year so they can make another DLC for Skyrim. Bethesda’s probably realized this as well, hence the somewhat sudden halt to further development of Skyrim.
So, all in all, I anticipate their next project and am extremely excited for Fallout 4. I’m excited for the next Elder Scrolls title too, but it’s the Fallout franchises turn for a title to be developed and released to it’s faithful and loyal fans, (Which I’m one of.)
Thank You Bethesda for your BRILLIANT work on these world class top tier RPG’s like TES and Fallout. Good Luck on Fallout 4, I’m sure you’ll do great and will make all your fans happy (Including me). Can’t wait to go back to exploding heads in V.A.T.S with my Combat Shotgun while jamming to old-school tunes on the radio!!

Elder Scrolls fan since I was a teenager. I’m now an adult. (whatever that means)
Please don’t stop making content for Skyrim – at least give me a wizard’s tower of somekind! I feel a total disconnect from the storyline and a complete lack of closure and finality. I know all good things must come to an end and this game has been VERY good – but come out with one last thing. Consider it… there’s a very real sense of a lack of completion in terms of story development. Give me a sense of finality.
Let me know I’m going to be alright. Hold me tightly in your strong Nord-arms and whisper sweet endearments in my ear as I gently drift off to Sovngarde.
I am just devastated; seriously… I am entering an intense period of mourning.

I don’t understand Bethesda. Clearly there’s a large outcry from your fans to continue with Skyrim; and said fans are sorely disappointed. So why not at least give the fans the one last triumphant DLC that they are all begging for? I understand that you have another project in motion and that’s great. But while my understanding of the internal mechanizations of both Bethsoft at large and the industry is somewhat limited, I fail to see why you guys would ignore the wishes of such a large and important portion of your customer base. It seems apparent that making a satisfying, conclusive DLC for Skyrim would not only be majorly profitable monetarily but also would show that your priorities lie in satisfying the fans who, in no small part, are a major factor in your continued success. This, in long term, will cause these fans to feel better about returning to purchase your games in the future.
Perhaps asking for one more DLC is asking to much, and if so you should make clear why that is. But while it may not have been anyone’s intention, comments made by representatives of both Bethsoft and Bethesda Studios could have been interpreted as misleading in regards to future Skyrim content. As opposed to disregarding that fact by aggrandizing the support that was provided to Skyrim (which I’m sure the fans do appreciate) it may be more prudent to simply give and honest explanation for why you chose to discontinue the adding of content and humbly post an apology for those fans who are disappointed or upset. It would simply show humility.
That’s just my two cents, but I do hope there’s a chance it’s taken into consideration; I sincerely thank anyone out there who takes the time to read it.

When I heard that Bethesda was working on a new game, I was almost for sure it was Fallout, but now, I guess not.

Terrible. Taking a leaf out of Bioware’s promise breaking book have we? I’m a developer, and the choices passed down from the top to do things like this annoy the hell out of me. You work for years to create a game like this, just to have a gigantic middle finger to the fans come at the end. Don’t get me wrong, skyrim is an amazing game. But you set your consumers up for expecting a conclusion, then spit in their face. You have ruined one of the greatest games ever made, because you haven’t finished it. If you make an ultimate edition, I will actually laugh my arse off because it’ll be a joke. Obsidian did a better job with DLC, and don’t have half the talent you do.

The joke is, Bethesda and Zenimax knew this would be the reaction before they released this statement. Which means, the higher-ups just don’t seem to care. They’ve made enough money off skyrim and financially speaking, it’s time to make another game. Consumers are rarely valued when they’re in the millions.

Ok here is business plan for the FINAL DLC for skyrim.
Take the size of the team that has started the next project before you moved the the rest of the team and remove them back to skyrims final dlc. than you will have a majority of the team still working on your next big project while keeping YOUR Fans happy with an upcoming dlc for skyrim. once it is finished you remove them back to project. Simple. 3-4 months tops and you know it.
And to tell you the truth… if it meant that the dlc cost an extra $5 – 10 than the others i would gladly pay it as im sure any true TES fan would, just for one final conclusion to skyrim. I mean where would the Lord of the Rings ended up if it didnt have Return Of The King in the movie trilogy….

I honestly feel like this was a kidney blow, considering beth has lead us to expect more DLC upcoming, and then randomly pulls this. I honestly feel slightly betrayed. It would have been so much better if you said this right after releasing dragonborn, not waiting so damn long. I’m thankful for the great game you made, and for finally getting the DLC you did make over to the PS3, but I still feel stabbed in the back. You led us on, like some cheap wh0re with no intent of putting out. I’m left at a loss of words.

No offence gstaff but in my opinion (and I have a feeling that maaaany people would agree with me) whoever made a decision to cancel all further Skyrim dlc is real economical ‘genius’ and don’t let me start with raging how much from fan base commitment stand of view is that giant spit in the face….ahhhh at least I have learned one thing during this whole mess related to Skyrim itself and it’s dlcs(I played game a lot but there have been so many areas that could have been improved on..) and that is….never expect from game makers to be more interested in making that game better if it won’t appeal to their boss and marketing team …..it’s like expecting from bank to have some understandings for anyone’s hard life…you have officialy became EA…coronation will be held in Pete Hine’s living room where he will be watching some 6 feet under league team and tweeting about everything not Skyrim related and Todd Howard will be playing Skyrim in which he will use spears(in the background Tell me lies song will play) and rest of talented and inovative team will be chuckled and forced to watch Sims 3 until they don’t release how next Fallout Sims is supposed to look like -.- ahahhahah what an irony…I just released that Sims expansins were more meaty and with more fetures than Skyrim’s…..-.- what happend with: WE WILL MAKE DLCS As LONG AS PEOPLE ARE WEALING TO BUY and what a coincidence that you stopped making dlcs when a xbox exclusion crap weared off hmmmmmmm conspiracy theory or you would voting for cispa law (I guess you’re familiar with it) immediatly after Boston attack when public is afraid for it’s safety is also coincidence ….anyway I have completly wandered off topic so I wil just say and I really mean it : farewell Beth, this was our final adventure….and just think for a second though I doubt it…have you made any mistake when you have saddened so many people and when all these people are feeling let down…I would say that you have made mistakes…more than a few…..P.S. time to end this misery and stop following anything Beth related…it will save me a lot of nerves…I dunno but I guess you saw in last 700 post how much this game means to us and how much we disagree with your decision()…but then you would have to care…so nope I guess….Skyrim(Bethesda)- case closed as far as I am concerned…….

No offense taken, but it’s important to note that we didn’t cancel any DLC. We had no official plans for a further one.

It seems that the original plan was to release more DLC content, but because of financial reasons (maybe because of the PlayStation debacle, or low sales from the Dragonborn DLC?) they decided to drop Skyrim (and it’s fans). I can’t believe that we only got Dawnguard and Dragonborn, compared to all the DLC that was released for Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Dragonborn really got me into Skyrim again and although it felt rushed at times, it finally was some real content, which even stayed true to Elder Scrolls lore. I’m really disappointed we won’t see Redguard related DLC content, which I’m pretty convinced you had planned, but for some reason decided to cancel it.
You know, I can accept plans change, but why make the promises and break them? I mean, now you have decided to finish this project, you need to sit down and reflect on all that has happened with this project and how you (not) communicated to the fans. First with the promises of the Creation Kit being released on day one, which got released months later. The first patch to fix bugs, which took way to long. The problems with the first patches, the problems with the DLC on the PlayStation and lastly, the decision to drop the project and breaking the promise of more content. The way you communicated to the fans has been seriously lacking, while you have all the means at your disposal (Gstaff, a forum, a blog, a twitter account, a facebook account etc.). This is something you seriously need to discuss and hopefully improve upon, because the fans will not keep on taking it.
I’m sorry, this moment was supposed to be the moment where I only thank the team for the work they have put in bringing us a terrific game and DLC content, but the way situations have been handled and communicated by the higher-ups just leaves a sour taste, which has led to me writing my first critical post here on this blog. But still, thank you dev-team and thank you GStaff, I just hope things will get better in the future.

You guys totally left us hanging. Redgaurd had so much potential for awesome content and after hinting at it for awhile then stopping right in the middle is just wrong. FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED! I was ready for one last spectacular DLC and Bethesda let us down. If your next project is Fallout 4 just a FYI Fallout doesnt even come close to the gaming experience that Skyrim brings. Very disappointed.

Much appreciated guys. And agreed Wales, but there are publishers out their that put the satisfaction of their fans and consumers first. I guess I just never wanted to have to file Bethsoft under “another Triple A publisher.” A stand out publisher mind, but not one that prioritizes its fan-base.

Even if you guys never had it planned you have to admit that the word choice made by a few of your major representatives was misleading. That, at least is quite apparent. Also, I’m with Severus Magius here, I’d love to work on the lore for you guys and there is a super talented modding community who could contribute to further dlc.

How bout you guys take the size of the team that started your next project before the whole team moved to it, put them on the final dlc for skyrim while keeping the majority of your team on the next project. your looking at 3 – 4 months tops. Than you can shut us all up and make us happy. Even if it meant that the dlc was an extra $5 – $10, i would gladly pay as im sure any other true fan would. Come on guys! Its like what if Return of the King was never made than where would the Lord of the Rings ended up? With skyrim, you guys revolutionized the RPG world… this game is amazing and has opened the door to many more possibilities. Give us one more DLC, to end our suffering and despair. please…. please…. please….

No offense to other commenters here, but do you just expect them to stop doing evrything for just skyrim? skyrim is great but im looking forward to the advances they will make in the next installments of the series. They are working on TES ONline so why are you so upset? You have gthe creation kit, if you want an expansion why not make it yourself? you have a great story or quest or idea on how to make skyrim better? use the creation kit. There is a reason they leave the game so customizable, they know they cant work on one game for the rest of their careers and you should understand that too. My point simply being stop complaining. There will be more to come.

Hey guys? Whatever you do in the future, don’t make TES Six’s graphics as washed-out and grimy as Skyrim. Oblivion was one of the most colorful games I’ve ever seen- on a par with Final Fantasy X- so I hope the next installment follows that example.

What really baffles me is the fact that they’re dropping this potential cash cow that can fill 8 pages full of comments asking for more on a whim, and yet keep throwing money at TESO, which is 90% assuredly gonna be a blunder unless it goes F2P in the first month. I mean, check TESO’s blog posts comments, they are usually about Skyrim, Skyrim, Skyrim.
I think people would’ve liked a SI sized expansion for closure, especially when we have so much unfinished (not that the Thalmor were gonna be finished in this installment), or at least several FO sized DLCs, of which we got one and a half.
Good riddance, Skyrim, you were great but coul’ve been so much more.

So much for the more substantial DLC than Oblivion and Fallout… Bethesda won’t admit it.. But I guarantee no more DLC is due to the PS3 Debacle…
Cue Scooby Doo go back in time music…
Bethesda revealed the news this morning via press release, which also indicated we’ll see more than two “add-on content drops” for Skyrim after the game launches. Given the kind of expansions we’ve seen for the Fallout titles and Oblivion, we expect the folks at Bethesda have some serious plans in mind for DLC support…. DRAGONBORN AND THAT”S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!..
Hey Bethesda why not acknowledge the awesome/fantastic/Legendary/Waynes World “Were not worthy” Mod community out there.. get them to help you out… I’m sure most of these fantastic guys/girls would probably do it for free!!!! Seriously you guys/girls ROCK!!!!!!!!!

Truth.
Fallout 3 DLC:
Broken Steel, Point Lookout, Mothership Zeta, The Pitt,Operation Anchorage.
All added several hours of gameplay
Oblivion DLC:
Knights of the Nine, Shivering Isles, Mehrunes Razor, and three player homes of differing flavors
The major three all added hours of play and Shivering Isles and Mehrunes were both huge.
Skyrim: Hearthfire: Customization but not a lot of flavor, nice but insubstantail, Dawnguard: Cool, but by no means a huge expansion, lots of bug, Dragonborn: The first real expansion, but the landscape is nowhere near as intriguing as Shivering Isles; more the lore’s fault than Bethesdas, but its is what it is.
So yeah, I’m with the Mob

Yeah I hate to agree with everyone else but I do think there is at least one more DLC for Skyrim needed. Also things could be added like a castle that you could build and live in, have a small town added around it, and then also perhaps things added in the game like your own private mage’s tower, complete with spell experimentation and perhaps even spell creation or blending.
I just really enjoy this game and love playing it. I think its awesome how the game is, and would love to add new stuff to it, for I have already invested money into the game and would gladly put more into it to enrich the experience even more. just as i would think others would too.

Ok so if you wont grant us fans our wish for one more dlc (an epilogue, encore, or even a finale)to quite possibly THE or ONE OF THE greatest games out for the 360 than can you maybe create a program that can screen and configure peoples mods from the PC to 360.
How it would work is, through your new program, people upload their mods created to your website that is created by you guys at Bethesda. From there the mod is than screened for bugs, appropriate content, etc. Than that mod is converted and redirected to xbox live. Where than players can download onto their harddrive and begin playing for free. The program can be accessed through something similar like Elite for BlackOps 2 or Waypoint for Halo 4. The option can be added to the Skyrim Main Menu. The program itself where a player can get the mods can be purchased however, the mods themselves would be for free.
Sure it would be some work, but hey if you guys wont give us the content we want than allow others who use the construction set fill our needs
This could also be used for all future Elder Scrolls Games. Its definitely possible and with technology growing everyday, eventually the program can work by itself and screen and configure on its own, without having to pay someone to do it. Let me know what you think guys!!!!

Oh god not Oblivion graphics anything but that … I like the washed out color pallet its more akin to the older TES3: Morrowind. I did enjoy Oblivion but my eyes would start to hurt after playing too long with the super bright colors (also that style made people so ugly and not pleasing to the eye at all) The Oblivion color pallet was way too bright and cheery but TES isn’t bright and cheery (like something you would see in some cell shaded kids game) it was way out of character for the series and glad they went for more of the drab color pallet with Skyrim.
I’d be happy if they met somewhere in the middle but the neon colors on the over world of Oblivion were just terrible. If it was a little more along the lines of Kingdom of Amalur’s color pallet (dark with vibrant highlights) that would be ok but please for the love of god don’t bring back Oblivion’s color pallet.

Yeah I thought we were promised a more substantial DLC than either FO3 or Oblivion Hell I feel there was more content in Morrowinds 2 expansions than all of the content combined in all 3 of the DLCs for Skyrim.
Bethesda I think you guys are really dropping the ball here by not doing at least one more Dragonborn sized DLC for Skyrim. Oh well at least there will still be plenty of mods coming out for the next year or two. But I feel bad for the people that play on consoles exclusively.

Im almost certain they went out of their way to announce they werent done with skyrim after they released Dragonborn… Of course, I’ve been playing since Morrowind so I’m used to bethesda’s… operations.
Something is up with this company. I still like to remind people about the ring textures in morrowind… They forgot to enable the ring textures, so they all appear black and shiny. They continued to release expansions, which had whole new unique rings…and never fixed the texture display. Never.
That is who you’re dealing with. I do not understand their reasoning behind such decisions. But I do know they have a pattern of it.

Its…not that simple at all. We use mod manager programs to make them all work together. Compatability issues come up. conflicts. And they can’t really screen for bugs… if they could, Skyrim wouldnt have bugs. Also keep in mind..
…When I want to try new mods, I make backup folders of my save games. Because though mods cant hurt Skyrim, they can harm save files.
Also Xbox doesnt have access to the all-powerful Console. Sorry its just…a lot harder than that. For a future game, maybe they could take that route. But skyrim is not set up for it, and neither is your xbox.
Take it from someone whos been making mods a long time. Its more tricky than it seems.

Thank you Bethesda for that amazing trash DLC´s you made. First of all everybody need to wake up and see what a horrible mess Skyrim is.
What I dislike this game is the way people treat you, I for example became the arch mage of the college in winterhold but what happen when I walk past any of the people in that small town . They don’t recognize me as the arch-mage or the fact that I save that little town. Even conversations and painfully stupid with them, I ask for help and they reply by saying:
“Why would I help you stranger? do something for me and I might think about it” for God sake I am the arch-mage!!!
Only the guards seem to remember and they are a broken mess of a AI “Oh so you are a member of the bard college!”
Yes like weeks and months ago, I sort of I do not know. SAVED YOUR ASS FROM A DRAGON.
It was evident from the first 6 hours of the game, when I arrived at Whiterun, immediately became a Thane and was told, NO promised, that people would treat me differently. I think the quote from the Jarl was: “guards will avert their eyes…” Not 2 minutes after being told this, I was told while passing a guard, “Watch is Kaijit.”
Soooo Bethesda you clearly needs some help with whatever rules engine is supporting it’s scripted dialogue. It’s really the biggest immersion killer for me, and hasn’t been fixed or even really made better since Oblivion. I remember still getting talked down to in major cities after I had become a God, the leader of every major guild, and saved all of Cyrrodill.
A game where you can be the hero or the villain ,and you are not even address as either. The next DLC you would have made , if even where made.. perhaps would have been as broken.
Oh and thank you for the mass-effect ending on Dragonborn, where you are more or less FORCED to be the next slave to that bloody dremora.. or whatever they where called.
Perhaps you need to re-invest yourself.
Good luck in the future.

I was expecting to go in big war battle with Rikke & Tullius; Galmar & Ulfric, Elenwen to play bigger role with a addition of a new villain, let Ulfric/Elisif on the throne or persuade/itimidate them to leave or kill them & join the thalmor if u want, but now that won’t happen at all.

If you don’t do another DLC, you will be leaving the story completely unfinished. What about the Thalmor, the Sijic order,the next High King, what about Dragonborn becoming the emperor with the help of the Blades, which we all hoped we could see? Where is the epic finale, or maybe even an epilogue? I played every Elder Scrolls game there was, but now, I am seriously disappointed !!! Give us one final DLC which concludes the saga !!!

i have a cool idea for a Final DLC 4 skyrim, how bout the long lost dwemer return to tamriel and u discover what happened that caused them to vanish, u harness ancient dwemer magic, armor, weapons. And battle the dark forces that caused this amazing race to become extinct. Sounds pretty cool to me.

More then likely that will either be the main theme or a major expansion of TES: VI. Since Microsoft is announcing their new-gen Xbox in October, and TES: VI is probably not going to be worked on for at least 2-3 years. You and I will have a LONG wait.

I gotta say, I’m a bit skeptical of the way they went with the ESO game… I’ve read the intro into it, and I’ve been kinda disappointed in what that is turning out to be. I thought they would take the mentality of TES (be any type of character you want and do anything you want with them) and put that into an MMO format, but, instead, the first thing they talk about are the “alliances,” how altmer, bosmer, and khajit are allied, how the humans and their friends are allied, and how everyone else is allied. That already kind of takes away from the old TES mentality, and I’m hoping Bethesda has not already lost track of what makes the series so succesful that they lose the whole feel of that crucial element…

Dear Bethesda,
I had a pretty cool idea for a dlc and even though you arent making any more I wanted to share it…
A final dlc called “The Moot” where after the civil war quest line has been completed you can kill all of the legionnaires/officers. Once that has been completed you speak to the leader of whatever side you are on and they make a meeting of the moot. However, an assassin manages to poison the food and kills Ulfric, Tulius, Elisif, and their second in command. It is up to you as the hero of skyrim to take over the reigns of either side and restore the civility in skyrim by your own accord: hire advisors, earn the trusts of the jarls, maybe even get rid of some unfriendly competition. In the end, you become the high king/queen of skyrim. If you joined the storm cloak rebellion then Windelm will become the new capital of skyrim, but if you enlisted into the Imperial Legion, solitude will stay capital of skyrim.

You guys should make a patch that allows people with Oblivion and Skyrim to play oblivion with skyrim graphics, engine, and their skyrim characters. Basically it would function as a skyrim add on, but it would be the whole oblivion game.

i believe it had something to due with the whole PS3 issues and everything.
but thats just my opinion
i know they said it wasn’t b/c of that but they had everyone working on the problems so they could get the DLC. the team prob. said Forget It.
and moved on to what ever they are going to be working on. which is not the evil within

Disappointing Bethesda, but not really a surprise.
From the moment I learned that Bethesda had agreed to a deal where the first two DLC releases would be released on the 360 a month before either the PC or PS3, I knew not to expect a lot from Bethesda from then on.
And then the extremely buggy Skyrim was released, and still has many bugs now over a year and a half later. The Creation Kit came out a few months later, when many expected it to came out with Skyrim. My guess is that there were issues with Steam, and being unwilling to release it without Steam. I could of course be wrong, though.
Then came Dawnguard, which I have my complaints about. From misleading in the trailer to having no real difference in the separate quest-lines. But the main peev with Dawnguard is the release date. Or dates, I should say, as there are three of them. First came the 360, then a month later came PC, and several months again came PS3.
I could continue, but we all know by this point that Bethesda would rather please Microsoft than it’s own fans.
I will not be buying another game from Bethesda until they start putting their fans first. Bethesda, you have officially lost my support. And I know I’m not the only one.

Oh yeah I agree with DarkEagle, I’m sorry but the oblivion game lights were too bright for myself as well. For example, when I had the detect life skill on in oblivion and I was persuading a character, it was so hard to see their reaction and made it harder for the to like me as a result. Not that I’m saying I couldn’t just take off the detect life skill cause of course I could but its just little things like that, that would bug me. I think the team will do great with whatever graphics they come up with though I have no preference. Oblivion based ones would be just as awesome no matter what cause I know Bethesda will never fail to impress me.

Maybe they’ll change their minds… Wouldn’t that be nice? You would think, considering the copious and fervent response from all of the fans; this would somehow lead them to the cogent conclusion – “oh, what the heck; let’s give ‘em one more DLC.”
There just seems to be so many loose ends: the obscenely fragile and increasingly tenuous ceasefire with the Aldmeri Dominion.the inevitable confrontation with the Thalmor Jurisprudence (or lack thereof), the increasingly fragile and internally collapsing Empire, the three actual Elder Scrolls being carried around in your inventory (absurdly enough), the resurrection of the Blades, the assassination of Emperor Mede ala the Dark Brotherhood, the Stormcloak-Rebllion (Long live the Empire), and the possible reintroduction of the surviving houses of Morrowind. Morang Tong notwithstanding! That’s just off the top of my head.
Simply shameful.

This. This this this. My playtime would probably be doubled if the game actually had some color. Even though I prefer colors, I get that some people like things more subdued or, unfortunately, brown. But there is a serious problem with a game when you have to squint to find a single color that’s not gray or the occasional brown. Good lord. If it HAS to be monochrome, at least have stronger highlights and shadows so it’s not as if there’s a mist covering everything.

I feel betrayed. You know more content was heavily inferred, even if it wasn’t “confirmed” as you state. Also this doesn’t make sense considering the interest that still exists for this game.
Sure, the headache for PS3 is likely not worth the cost and additional content may be impossible for the platform; however, we as raving fans don’t accept that as a valid (if obviously never confirmed due to the reaction it’d garner) excuse – we’ll gladly toss PS3 users into the fire if a lighter burden means moving forward with more DLC.
Looking in Steam it’s stating I’ve played this game for 1206 hours. Don’t throw away 42.75 days of my life with a lack of resolution to major plotlines! At least tell me what the hell is supposed to happen with the Thalmor and the results of the Moot.
Even I’m shocked at how long Steam says I’ve played this game, and it says all kinds of things about the potential for collecting an obsessive fan base. That coupled with this announcement means that somewhere, there are maniacal, frothing, psychopathic fans adding names to their kill lists. One more DLC, Beth. I say this because I care about you, and don’t want to read about you in the obituary. That’s a testament to my neutral Sweden-esque approach, and cancels out the potential for any selfishness in my post. Honest.

I don’t think bethesda has read the complaints or if they even care at this point. Skyrim had so much potential but bethesda just said screw it. As many others have said, we are willing to pay more for one last dlc to end the game. Lets be honest, there were 2 “real” dlc and dawnguard added little area. Both main quests for the dlcs were of medium length at most. It has been hinted by Peter Hines, and even the game itself that there would be a second Great War. It seems that you guys were working on something (Redguard would not be a name for fallout) and you guys just stopped. Please just finish what you started and give the fans (consumers/customers who support you with financial and fan support) an awesome dlc that will end it all. I doubt that you guys will read this (I’m positive they stopped reading this blog ages ago but hope lingers) but if you miraculously do, just consider the gains for you guys and the fans of making one last dlc “to rule them all” (couldn’t resist the lotr reference)

Dunno if this is the right place for this but…:
I’ve been adventuring with The Elder Scrolls since Morrowind. Khajiit has no words truly for how much this ongoing game series means to me and has provided countless hours of entertainment, imagination, stress relief and more. It IS the ultimate game series EVER. If only Nirn was a real realm, I would so move there! My two fave races are the Khajiit and the Nords. I love the option to play as a vampire and werewolf sometimes. I’m usually a khajiit werewolf character. I thought it would be cool if when a khajiit or argonian obtained were power if they changed into a cat or reptile beast of a more wereish head thumping kind than their average appearance. I want to explore the Elyswere (sp?)! Keep up the superb installments to the series! Can’t wait to see what’s next someday!

How about some love for us ultra-widescreen gamers? Fix the UI glitch (all menus are zoomed in so far that it renders the entire game UNPLAYABLE. Think not being able to see what you’re looting, your current gold/carryweight, etc.) for those of us running more than just one monitor.
Don’t give us this crap of “we don’t support it.” Most other games that don’t support it just stretch horribly. Skyrim scales beautifully across 5040×1050 (1680x1050x3, no bezel correction), but the menus crop themselves down to uselessness.

Enough flights of fancy.Thanks for three genre defining and industry defying experiences in one hardware cycle!

I have been a devout fan of the elder scrolls series since Morrowind first caught my eye inside a pawn shop. I was thinking which of two games that I wanted should I get: Morrowind, or the other one (I forgot the name), and for a moment I was about to go for the other one when my brother told me Morrowind looked better. Hey, what can 10 year old do when his bigger brother tells him something looks better. When I first played it, instantly hooked…
As a result, I have been following TES games and learning the lore of the series. Morrowind was complex, large, and with so many items it would fill up skyrim. Oblivion cut down on so much stuff that I got a little annoyed (WHERE WERE MY SPEARS, LEVITATION, CROSSBOWS?). But, nonetheless, I had my fun memories with Oblivion.
Skyrim was something of a huge thing for me since I was actually starting to think about the next TES game when it was announced. That announcement made my year and cheered me up so much that I started playing Oblivion again, just for the heck of it.
At first, Skyrim was amazing, but over time I felt like it was lacking something from its predecessors. It didn’t have those qualities that made me get glued on as in Morriwind or Oblivion. I’m not saying it was bad, just missing things.
Maybe it was the ease of the game, or the challenges that weren’t there, such as the ones back in Morrowind and even Oblivion. The game became too easy, too wrapped around your finger. It would bend to your every whim. Too hard, just change the difficulty. Don’t want to walk, just click here and voila! you’re there. The game lost it’s lure that first caught me, the difficulty; Sure dragon priests are harder than dragons, but what about bandits?
The first bandit I encountered in both Morrowind and Oblivion killed me, but in Skyrim 3-5 bandits couldn’t kill a level 1 fur-armored adventurer (without shouts)…
In conclusion, Bethesda, you have filled the past 10 years of my life with many fun memories, challenges, visuals, and entertainment that there is no way I can repay that debt. I love every TES game, even daggerfall and arena. I miss the challenges of the older ones. But not enough to stop me from saying that Oblivion and Skyrim will always be with me in my memories.
I still play all three games.

Hello and good day Bethesda Studios. The first thing I am going to ask is, is this truly the end of Skyrim DLC? What happened with REDGUARD? I feel like I’m not the only one raising questions on this but it means I’m not alone on this. Why did you guys call Skyrim complete when it truly wasn’t story wise? With all the unanswered questions, and multitude of quests that don’t have a proper and satisfying conclusion, I felt that the game was far from complete. So please for the love of god before you move on to your next project please do one more DLC that wraps up the story for Skyrim. I mean, who will be high king? What will the fate of skyrim be once the imperials or stormcloaks decide to go to war with the thalmor? Please do us fans a favor and at least release one more conclusive dlc wrapping everything up before calling Skyrim done..
Thanks!

You know, if there is one thing I have learned from communities, and it is sad really, that only the people who could care less for the game comment. All games have their issues, and I believe the only thing that truely held skyrim back on the console, was the console. Allowing the community to modify Skyrim was the best thing they could have done. Not because Skyrim is a bad game (I thoroughly enjoyed 2 years of it on the console), but because it allows for a custom experience to all player. It also lets us change it up a bit. After playing Skyrim for 2 years, I installed a tropical mod on my pc version. It was a bran new experience. That is what Bethesda did right. That is why I will gladly buy TES 6. And why I wish I had a better computer to play TES Online.

Honestly i love skyrim. I played Oblivion and it was my all time favoret game i had such high expections for skyrim that my friends said their was no way Skyrim could deliver…… But they did! Skyrim was amazing i got it on the release date and even sprung for the $160 limited edition. It was the only limited edition game i ever got and it was the most money any limited edition ever was. Skyrim brought everything to the table. I loved the game. The glitches only told me that the game was a real thing. Cause nothing can be perfect. But skyrim came pretty dam close. I didnt mind the dlc ether they were good. Cant say they were better then the shivring islands but they tryed only things i wish they could have done were 1: Added Umbra. That sword was in all the other elder scrolls why not this one? For an add on you should make it fall from the sky at live 81 or whatever. I just want it in the game. 2: Have a tough ass monster. One that you guys had in Fallout called “deathclaws” This would add a little more danger to the game.3: Keep up the good work. This game had little to no flaws and i would be liying if i didnt say i was ganna miss more DLCs. Thank you for bring one of the best games into this world.

First off everyone saying that Bethesda doesn’t care about their fans is just crazy talk. Skyrim was great and the people at Bethesda worked like mad to keep it that. Fans take things a little too personally but that I DO totally get since I too am a fan and not happy about this. To put it simply, I was waiting for my new “Shivering Isles.” I was waiting for Skyrim to realease a DLC that would top what I consider the greatest DLC worth paying for. I didn’t get that moment and it’s left a bad taste in my mouth, I won’t lie. Despite this, I am still a Bethesda fan and will eagerly await future releases. Keep on keepin’ on BGS!

Just here hoping that this game would see the light of day on the Wii U. It’s got the horsepower and a a fan of both Nintendo and many games that came from Bethseda, all have been on PC which I loved. I’d like a chance to kick back on my couch someday and play this game re-released with some visual polish to the Wii U along with many others I imagine. I can’t keep funding upgrades for my PC any longer as budgets get tighter and Skyrim is pushing my rig to its limits. To move on, I’d have to buy a new PC.
I bought the Wii U for the best interest of my family and myself and love playing Mass Effect 3, Black Ops II, but no game on it had the freedom Oblivion gave me as well as Fallout 3. I hope sometime this is considered soon.

Don’t let this unfinished mess be your new trend.
Guards and townspeople are supposed to be distrustful of Khajiit, so why do they not bloody bother treating you differently to Nords?
My brother just recently started over on a new game as a Khajiit, and guess what Arcadia said to him?
“… a hardy Nord like you.” WTF? Is Arcadia blind or just stupid? Since when do Nords look like cats?!?!?

“Crappy Stupid Mods”?
The USKP, UDGP and UDBP aren’t “crappy stupid mods”, they’re mods that fix (or try to) bugs that Beth deemed too small to bother fixing.
I don’t call anything that makes it less buggy to be crappy or stupid.
Using a comma and an ampersand in the same sentence is unnecessary.
When addressing yourself, I is always captialised.
That’s not a typo, that’s British English.
I won’t go off on a correction tangent as that’s not my job.
Get your facts straight next time. There’s a lot of mods out there that correct things such as the Unofficial Patches and the Guard Dialogue Overhaul.
(In Oblivion alone, the UOP patched over 1,000 bugs that Bethesda didn’t notice – as of V1.2).
Oh, and Patch 1.9 brought with it an assload of CTDs the like of which I’ve never experienced before.

Um, you contradicted yourself.
“Skyrim which is not a video-game it’s a phenomenon in a history of making video-games”.
In that, you just said that it IS a video game, whereas you previously claimed it isn’t.
“Don’t understand nothing” is also self-contradictory. “Do not understand nothing” is what you just said. It’s a double negative. Therefore, by your own negligence, Mew does understand something.

Very disappointed with the news that there will be no more DLCs for Skyrim especially when not that long ago you posted that there were more coming that Skyrim was far from. That you would not be quick to move it over to the Next Gen boxes coming out….lies. Now you totally contradict your earlier release without even an apology or real explanation except to leave people wondering about an Elder Scrolls 6 for the new consoles. Well I am not happy with all the lies for months and will certainly be skeptical of any purchases I make where you would profit.

Bethesda totally screwed the fans over. If there was no plan for future DLC’s how come Dragonborn was not released as the final DLC for Skyrim? How come it was said early in 2013 that they “weren’t done” with Skyrim. It was a total let down to end the game so abruptly. The talk of the excitement of the new game is basically something I could care less about. Maybe I will purchase the next Elder Scrolls game but nothing else associated with Bethesda! Now I can’t wait for Dragon Age 3: Inquisition!!

I heard about a possibly new dlc called “Redguard”, and excited as hell, I was really looking forward to this. When I found out Bethesda were shutting Skyrim down, I got really shocked.
I’m playing Skyrim on xbox, I got all three DLC’s and I’ve finished them all. I’ve also done all the bigger quests (just got smaller “circle” quests left) and all I really can do, is go around killing bandits and earn money (not really fun after a while..).
Skyrim is one of my best game experiences and have given me a lot of good memories. I still enjoy the game, but as there’s nothing more to do, I’ve put the game on the shelf, sadly. There’s plenty of more potencial in Skyrim, like adding dlc’s containing the battle of Skyrim’s high king and the thalmor, the further battle between Stormcloaks and Imperials etc. I would enjoy Skyrim for years to come – if there were more dlc’s coming.. and I would pay for them all.
I’m standing with the game in my hand and a huge question, how did Skyrim end..?
A shame such a good game didn’t get a real ending..
But still, thank you for an awesome game experience Bethesda! I really hope you will make Elder Scrolls 6

Bethesda, you made my love love of games go to new heights the first time I played a TES game. But when I began to play more skyrim I started to know literally EVERYTHING about it. and while I played I realized, “hey, I want to make a spell. Hey, I want a different looking and natural world from the next guy. I know your trying to appease the console players and you cant add things that the Xbox and PS3 cant run, but with future generations of TES could you add things like spears, natural worlds, harder gameplay (though legendary is insane for me), create a spell and other things that made ES 1,2,3 and some of 4 so special and immersive? also more of a variety of creatures is what PC modders have had to take into their own hands. Nevertheless Bethesda, you have made my life as a gamer become amazing and I love all your works. Just bring back some things that makes TES so great.

With admiration. With respect. And with genuine confusion: WHERE ARE YOU?
People give up far to easily. Bethesda; I’m not so easily dissuaded – please respond to the legitimate comments and concerns of your customers and fans.
>WE< are essentially your bosses… you are aware of that – correct? Consumers tend to remember things like this; most especially the uniquely autodidactic and singularly informed fans that make up the very large demigraph of your customers. Don't betray or ignore your core constituents, who have always been faithfully supportive of you in your endeavours. The Elder Scrolls is more then just a video game series. The Elder Scrolls is your creative nativity but could also just as easily lead to your fiscal crucifixion if neglected…
Do the right thing; we're watching.

Bethesda I strongly suggest you listen to your fans and do not leave Skyrim unfinished and continue on with new DLCs for new features for everyone.

It’s cool your making Fallout 4 but I would continue on Skyrim as well which your DLCs are your moneycow Milk which more DLCs you make the more money you make and yes with new features and stuff for Skyrim.

Does anyone care other than Michael Jones and I that the game is not complete. there were so many dlcs for both fallout 3 and new Vegas and the story line in skyrim is 10 times better than both those games. how could they do this to us. I feel cheated like I bought a half finished game now that i know it will never get finished. please Bethesda if you actually read these and see this and care about this game. please finish this games story line its sooooooooo good and could be better if you Bethesda finish the game.

Do any of you even think that there might be a chance that this next ‘game’ might be the next Elder Scrolls game? It might be leaving off some time after Skyrim and reveal what happens after the events of Skyrim.

While i must admit Bethesda, that you guys have created one of the most amazing game series that i have played to this day. And while i love every game you have created thus far, i feel that Skyrim has nearly been abandoned and has an emptiness left inside it. While no game is perfect, at times i do feel Skyrim is missing a thing or two. Please, please do us all one great big favor, a request from all of your fans on every console & PC. Please bring closure to Skyrim, a final finale to such a great game that it is. Something that will wrap up the open story line and provide a decent ending. While you may thank your fans for joining you on the adventure, we Thank YOU for giving us all the chance to experience a game series unlike no-other. And here’s to hoping that this series continues to get even better.
