Our plan now is to take more time, to have more meat on them [for Skyrim]. They&#8217;ll feel closer to an expansion pack.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This means that we can expect a longer wait between each DLC. To keep things interesting Bethesda will put &#8220;little things out for free in between.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve already done that for PC with the high-res pack. We&#8217;re trying to figure out what those things are,&#8221; said Howard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We knew before release that we were going to support it in a larger way, with lots of updates every month,&#8221; Howard added. &#8220;We knew we wanted to do more stuff to bring mods to people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30752\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Skyrim-is-Rubbish.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30752\" class=\" wp-image-30752\" title=\"Skyrim is Rubbish\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Skyrim-is-Rubbish.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Skyrim-is-Rubbish.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Skyrim-is-Rubbish-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Skyrim-is-Rubbish-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Skyrim-is-Rubbish-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Skyrim-is-Rubbish-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Skyrim-is-Rubbish-170x96.jpg 170w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Skyrim-is-Rubbish-297x167.jpg 297w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Skyrim-is-Rubbish-530x298.jpg 530w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Skyrim-is-Rubbish-625x351.jpg 625w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Skyrim-is-Rubbish-250x140.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-30752\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&quot;Okay, it&#39;s slightly less rubbish now.&quot;
