Bethesda's DLC planning and releasing has always been a bit haywire and with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim the company is planning to rectify this by releasing less packages but more substantial ones instead.
In an interview by AusGamers, game director Todd Howard stated:
"We would like to do DLC; we don't have any specific plans yet, but they've been really successful and we like making them," "So right now I can say that we'd like to do less DLC but bigger ones - you know, more substantial."
In regards to the Fallout 3 addons and Skyrim DLC direction (after the jump):
"The Fallout 3 pace that we did was very chaotic," "We did a lot of them - we had two overlapping groups - and we don't know what we're going to make yet, but we'd like them to be closer to an expansion pack feel."
I have to say I agree with what he's saying, if you look at Oblivion's substantial additions (not the horse armour of course) they offered players another adventure rather than a quick trip to one location with a patched together quest. Fallout 3 achieved this with Point Lookout, instead of taking players to yet another location in the DC wasteland, Bethesda instead opted to take us to a whole new area with a very disctinctive feel and a decent quest to boot.
Skyrim hits on the 11th of November, not that you folks need reminding.
