Skyrim DLC will be expansion pack scale

Bethesda’s ever vocal game director and executive producer Todd Howard has said that each DLC pack for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be more like an expansion pack than DLC.

“For Fallout 3 we did five DLCs,” Howard told Kotaku at the DICE Summit earlier in February. “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.”

This means that we can expect a longer wait between each DLC. To keep things interesting Bethesda will put “little things out for free in between.”

“We’ve already done that for PC with the high-res pack. We’re trying to figure out what those things are,” said Howard.

“We knew before release that we were going to support it in a larger way, with lots of updates every month,” Howard added. “We knew we wanted to do more stuff to bring mods to people.”
