When Bethesda announced last week that “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” development team are moving on, as a whole, to the studios next big project; the developer stated that fans shouldn’t expect anything other than minor updates for popular role-playing game in the future. Further clarifying exactly what was meant by minor updates, Bethesda’s Pete Hines has now stated that no additional features will ever be included to “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.”
Players originally hoped that content added outside of major DLC releases, such as Kinect Support and mounted combat, might be considered to be minor updates that fans could still look forward too. However, this isn’t the case. Any gameplay feature that isn’t currently part of “Skyrim” simply won’t ever be added.
As The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered takes up 125GB, original designer Bruce Nesmith recalls fitting Skyrim into a tiny file size.
Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.
Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim
That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.
I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.
Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.
I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)
Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time
We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.
Big Bethesda Nintendo Switch eShop sale now live with lowest prices ever for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Doom (2016), and more.
Additional features...Like functionality.
One of the greatest games of this generation. Glad Bethesda supported it so well and so long. Yes, they had some shortcomings with the PS3 version.
But whatever they achieved was simply phenomenal. The main game combined with the 3 DLCs can give you 400 hours of gameplay.
A world so massive, I wonder how they pulled it off on current gen consoles.
Great job Bethesda. I simply can't wait for Fallout 4 and Elder Scrolls 6.
Skyrim ordered everything from the menu, couldn't finish the meal. The critics thought it was horseshoes and they scored points for an almost.
Agreed game runs great on my console, its a masterpiece of a game too, i still haven't finished or gotten halfway lol, its just so huge, and i get side tracked alot when im just roaming the world.
